Divergent Reactivity during the Trapping of Benzynes by Glycidol Analogs: Ring Cleavage via Pinacol-Like Rearrangements vs Oxirane Fragmentations.

ABSTRACT: Hydroxy-containing cyclic ethers react with thermally generated benzynes to produce aryl ethers. Diverse reactivity was observed. Cleavage of the cyclic ether was involved in most of the pathways. The transformations are rationalized via initial formation of oxonium ion-containing 1,3-zwitterions arising from preferential nucleophilic attack on the benzyne by the ether oxygen. Pinacol-like rearrangements, including ring expansion, to yield aldehydes or ketones and oxirane fragmentations to generate aryl enol ethers were main competing events.

Sulfonamide-Trapping Reactions of Thermally Generated Benzynes.

Project description:Reactions of tethered, tertiary sulfonamides with thermally generated benzynes are reported. Typically, the N-S bonds in the substrates cleave, and saturated heterocycles [tetrahydroquinolines ( n = 2) and indolines ( n = 1)] are formed. The process is accompanied by either sulfonyl transfer or desulfonylation from a zwitterionic intermediate, with the favored pathway being largely dependent upon the size (5- vs 6-membered) of the N-containing ring in the zwitterion.

Tipping the balance: theoretical interrogation of divergent extended heterolytic fragmentations.

Project description:Herein we interrogate a type of heterolytic fragmentation reaction called a 'divergent fragmentation' using density functional theory (DFT), natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), and external electric field (EEF) calculations. We demonstrate that substituents, electrostatic environment and non-statistical dynamic effects all influence product selectivity in reactions that involve divergent fragmentation pathways. Direct dynamics simulations reveal an unexpected post-transition state bifurcation (PTSB), and EEF calculations suggest that some transition states for divergent pathways can, in principle, be selectively stabilized if an electric field of the correct magnitude is oriented appropriately.

Tactics for Probing Aryne Reactivity: Mechanistic Studies of Silicon-oxygen Bond Cleavage During the Trapping of (HDDA-generated) Benzynes by Silyl Ethers.

Project description:We report mechanistic aspects of the trapping of thermally (HDDA) generated benzyne derivatives by pendant silyl ether groups, which results in net insertion of the pair of benzyne Csp-hydribized carbon atoms into the silicon-oxygen sigma bond. Cross-over experiments using symmetrical, doubly labeled bis-silyl ether substrates established that the reaction is unimolecular in nature. Competition experiments involving either intramolecular or intermolecular dihydrogen transfer clock reactions (from within a TIPS isopropyl group or cyclooctane, respectively) vs. the silyl ether cyclization were used to gain additional insights. We evaluated effects of the steric bulk of the silyl ether trapping group and of the ring-size of the cyclic ether being formed (furan vs. pyran). These types of competition experiments allow the relative rates of various product-determining steps to be determined. This previously has only rarely been possible because aryne formation is typically rate-limiting, making it challenging to probe the kinetics of subsequent trapping reactions. Solvent effects (polarity of the medium) and computational studies were used to probe the question of stepwise vs. concerted pathways for the Si-O insertion.

Divergent Asymmetric Total Synthesis of All Four Pestalotin Diastereomers from (R)-Glycidol.

Project description:All four chiral pestalotin diastereomers were synthesized in a straightforward and divergent manner from common (R)-glycidol. Catalytic asymmetric Mukaiyama aldol reactions of readily-available bis(TMSO)diene (Chan's diene) with (S)-2-benzyloxyhexanal derived from (R)-glycidol produced a syn-aldol adduct with high diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity using a Ti(iOPr)4/(S)-BINOL/LiCl catalyst. Diastereoselective Mukaiyama aldol reactions mediated by catalytic achiral Lewis acids directly produced not only a (1'S,6S)-pyrone precursor via the syn-aldol adduct using TiCl4, but also (1'S,6R)-pyrone precursor via the antialdol adduct using ZrCl4, in a stereocomplementary manner. A Hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of similarly available mono(TMSO)diene (Brassard's diene) with (S)-2-benzyloxyhexanal produced the (1'S,6S)-pyrone precursor promoted by Eu(fod)3 and the (1'S,6R)-pyrone precursor Et2AlCl. Debenzylation of the (1'S,6S)-precursor and the (1'S,6R)-precursor furnished natural (-)-pestalotin (99% ee, 7 steps) and unnatural (+)-epipestalotin (99% ee, 7 steps), respectively. Mitsunobu inversions of the obtained (-)-pestalotin and (+)-epipestalotin successfully produced the unnatural (+)-pestalotin (99% ee, 9 steps) and (-)-epipestalotin (99% ee, 9 steps), respectively, in a divergent manner. All four of the obtained chiral pestalotin diastereomers possessed high chemical and optical purities (optical rotations, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and HPLC measurements).

Divergent synthesis of thapsigargin analogs.

Project description:Thapsigargin (3) is a potent inhibitor of the SERCA-pump protein, with potential for application in a variety of medicinal areas. The efficient and scalable syntheses of thapsigargin (3) and nortrilobolide (2) have been disclosed previously. To demonstrate the modularity of the previous routes, three natural products (compounds 6, 13, 15) and four analogs (compounds 17-20) have been divergently prepared from a common building block featuring varied acyl chains at the C2, C3, and C8 positions. Biological tests revealed that all of the compounds prepared displayed promising activity profiles.

The Phenol-Ene Reaction: Biaryl Synthesis via Trapping Reactions between HDDA-Generated Benzynes and Phenolics.

Project description:Benzynes produced thermally by the cycloisomerization of triyne-containing precursors [i.e., by the hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA) reaction] react with phenols at the carbon ortho to the hydroxyl in an enelike fashion. Following tautomerization of the intermediate cyclohexadienones, this produces biaryl derivatives. DFT calculations of model reactions support this mechanistic interpretation. Substituted, unsymmetrical phenols and bis-phenols react in a fashion that can be explained by engagement of the most readily available (non-hydrogen-bonded) hydroxyl in the phenol-ene process.

Divergent Reactivity of an Isolable Nickelacyclobutane.

Project description:Nickelacyclobutanes are mostly invoked as reactive intermediates in the reaction of nickel carbenes and olefins to yield cyclopropanes. Nevertheless, early work suggested that other decomposition routes such as β-hydride elimination and even metathesis could be accessible. Herein, we report the isolation and characterization of a stable pentacoordinated nickelacyclobutane incorporated in a pincer complex. The coordination of different coligands to the nickelacyclobutane determines its selective decomposition along cyclopropanation, metathesis or apparent β-hydride elimination pathways. DFT calculations shed light on the mechanism of these different pathways.

Structure-reactivity relationships of zwitterionic 1,3-diaza-Claisen rearrangements.

Project description:Bridged bicyclic tertiary allylic amines aza-norbornene 1 and isoquinuclidene 2 add to isocyanates, isothiocyanates, and in situ-generated carbodiimides to form zwitterionic intermediates that undergo 1,3-diaza-Claisen rearrangements to afford highly substituted ureas, thioureas, and guanidines, respectively. Aza-norbornene 1 is significantly more reactive toward 1,3-diaza-Claisen rearrangements than isoquinuclidene 2. This reactivity difference is most likely due to the inherent ring strain in the aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene ring system of aza-norbornene 1. The most apparent reactivity trend of the heterocumulenes is that the most electron-deficient heterocumulenes are more reactive toward 1,3-diaza-Claisen rearrangements. The introduction of a new stereocenter ?- to the nucleophilic nitrogen in aza-norbornene 1 and isoquinuclidine 2 decreases the reactivity toward 1,3-diaza-Claisen rearrangements, while the exodiastereomers 3b and 4b are less reactive than the corresponding endodiastereomers 3a and 4a. Isocyanates that bear an electron-withdrawing group react with allylic amines 1-3b to afford mixtures of ureas and isoureas; however, with excess isocyanate and heat, thermodynamic equilibration is possible affording ureas. Inspired by this observation, a one-pot reaction of isocyanates with amines 1, 2, and 3b followed by BF3·OEt2-catalyzed isomerization of the urea/isourea mixture was developed that affords the corresponding ureas in excellent yields.

Dichlorination of (hexadehydro-Diels-Alder generated) benzynes and a protocol for interrogating the kinetic order of bimolecular aryne trapping reactions.

Project description:The efficient dichlorination of benzynes prepared by the hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA) reaction is reported. Cycloisomerization of a triyne substrate in the presence of dilithium tetrachlorocuprate is shown to provide dichlorinated products A by capture of the benzyne intermediate. A general strategy for discerning the kinetic order of an external aryne trapping agent is presented. It merely requires measurement of the competition between bimolecular vs unimolecular trapping events (here, dichlorination vs intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction to give A vs B, respectively) as a function of the concentration of the trapping agent.
