Functionalized azetidines via visible light-enabled aza Paterno-Buchi reactions.

ABSTRACT: Azetidines are four-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycles that hold great promise in current medicinal chemistry due to their desirable pharmacokinetic effects. However, a lack of efficient synthetic methods to access functionalized azetidines has hampered their incorporation into pharmaceutical lead structures. As a [2+2] cycloaddition reaction between imines and alkenes, the aza Paternò-Büchi reaction arguably represents the most direct approach to functionalized azetidines. Hampered by competing reaction paths accessible upon photochemical excitation of the substrates, the current synthetic utility of these transformations is greatly restricted. We herein report the development of a visible light-enabled aza Paternò-Büchi reaction that surmounts existing limitations and represents a mild solution for the direct formation of functionalized azetidines from imine and alkene containing precursors.

Enantioselective, Visible Light Mediated Aza Paterno-Buchi Reactions of Quinoxalinones.

Project description:3-Substituted quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones and various aryl-substituted or tethered olefins underwent an enantioselective, inter- or intramolecular aza Paternò-Büchi reaction upon irradiation at λ=420 nm in the presence of a chiral sensitizer (10 mol %). For the intermolecular reaction with 1-arylethenes as olefin components, the scope of the reaction was studied (14 examples, 50-99 % yield, 86-98 % ee). The absolute and relative configuration of the products were elucidated by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The reaction is suggested to occur by triplet energy transfer in a hydrogen-bonded 1:1 complex between the imine substrate and the catalyst. The intramolecular cycloaddition, consecutive reactions of the product azetidines, and an alternative reaction mode of quinoxalinones were investigated in preliminary experiments.

Accessing ladder-shape azetidine-fused indoline pentacycles through intermolecular regiodivergent aza-Paterno-Buchi reactions.

Project description:Small molecules with conformationally rigid, three-dimensional geometry are highly desirable in drug development, toward which a direct, simple-to-complexity synthetic logic is still of considerable challenges. Here, we report intermolecular aza-[2 + 2] photocycloaddition (the aza-Paternò-Büchi reaction) of indole that facilely assembles planar building blocks into ladder-shape azetidine-fused indoline pentacycles with contiguous quaternary carbons, divergent head-to-head/head-to-tail regioselectivity, and absolute exo stereoselectivity. These products exhibit marked three-dimensionality, many of which possess 3D score values distributed in the highest 0.5% region with reference to structures from DrugBank database. Mechanistic studies elucidated the origin of the observed regio- and stereoselectivities, which arise from distortion-controlled C-N coupling scenarios. This study expands the synthetic repertoire of energy transfer catalysis for accessing structurally intriguing architectures with high molecular complexity and underexplored topological chemical space.

A visible-light Paterno-Buchi dearomatisation process towards the construction of oxeto-indolinic polycycles.

Project description:A variety of highly functionalised N-containing polycycles (35 examples) are synthesised from simple indoles and aromatic ketones through a mild visible-light Paternò-Büchi process. Tetrahydrooxeto[2,3-b]indole scaffolds, with up to three contiguous all-substituted stereocenters, are generated in high yield (up to >98%) and excellent site- regio- and diastereocontrol (>20 : 1). The use of visible light (405 or 465 nm) ensures enhanced performances by switching off undesired photodimerisation side reactions. The reaction can be easily implemented using a microfluidic photoreactor with improved productivity (up to 0.176 mmol h-1) and generality. Mechanistic investigations revealed that two alternative reaction mechanisms can account for the excellent regio- and diastereocontrol observed.

Novel Aza-Paterno-Buchi Reaction Allows Pinpointing Carbon-Carbon Double Bonds in Unsaturated Lipids by Higher Collisional Dissociation.

Project description:The evaluation of double bond positions in fatty acyl chains has always been of great concern given their significance in the chemical and biochemical role of lipids. Despite being the foremost technique for lipidomics, it is difficult in practice to obtain identification beyond the fatty acyl level by the sole high-resolution mass spectrometry. Paternò-Büchi reactions of fatty acids (FAs) with ketones have been successfully proposed for pinpointing double bonds in FAs in combination with the collision-induced fragmentation technique. In the present paper, an aza-Paternò-Büchi (aPB) reaction of lipids with 6-azauracil (6-AU) was proposed for the first time for the determination of carbon-carbon double bonds in fatty acyl chains using higher collisional dissociation in the negative ion mode. The method was optimized using free FA and phospholipid analytical standards and compared to the standard Paternò-Büchi reaction with acetone. The introduction of the 6-AU moiety allowed enhancing the ionization efficiency of the FA precursor and diagnostic product ions, thanks to the presence of ionizable sites on the derivatizing agent. Moreover, the aPB derivatization allowed the obtention of deprotonated ions of phosphatidylcholines, thanks to an intramolecular methyl transfer from the phosphocholine polar heads during ionization. The workflow was finally applied for pinpointing carbon-carbon double bonds in 77 polar lipids from an yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) extract.

Formation of macrocyclic lactones in the Paterno-Buchi dimerization reaction.

Project description:Furan-2-ylmethyl 2-oxoacetates 1a,b, in which the furan ring and the carbonyl moiety were embedded intramolecularly, were synthesized from commercially available furan-2-ylmethanol and their photochemical reaction (h? > 290 nm) was investigated. Twelve-membered macrocyclic lactones 2a,b with C(i) symmetry including two oxetane-rings, which are the Paternò-Büchi dimerization products, were isolated in ca. 20% yield. The intramolecular cyclization products, such as 3-alkoxyoxetane and 2,7-dioxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene derivatives, were not detected in the photolysate.

Visible-Light-Enabled Direct Decarboxylative N-Alkylation.

Project description:The development of efficient and selective C-N bond-forming reactions from abundant feedstock chemicals remains a central theme in organic chemistry owing to the key roles of amines in synthesis, drug discovery, and materials science. Herein, we present a dual catalytic system for the N-alkylation of diverse aromatic carbocyclic and heterocyclic amines directly with carboxylic acids, by-passing their preactivation as redox-active esters. The reaction, which is enabled by visible-light-driven, acridine-catalyzed decarboxylation, provides access to N-alkylated secondary and tertiary anilines and N-heterocycles. Additional examples, including double alkylation, the installation of metabolically robust deuterated methyl groups, and tandem ring formation, further demonstrate the potential of the direct decarboxylative alkylation (DDA) reaction.

Visible Light Photoredox-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Alkylation of 3-Aryl-Oxetanes and Azetidines via Benzylic Tertiary Radicals and Implications of Benzylic Radical Stability.

Project description:Four-membered heterocycles offer exciting potential as small polar motifs in medicinal chemistry but require further methods for incorporation. Photoredox catalysis is a powerful method for the mild generation of alkyl radicals for C-C bond formation. The effect of ring strain on radical reactivity is not well understood, with no studies that address this question systematically. Examples of reactions that involve benzylic radicals are rare, and their reactivity is challenging to harness. This work develops a radical functionalization of benzylic oxetanes and azetidines using visible light photoredox catalysis to prepare 3-aryl-3-alkyl substituted derivatives and assesses the influence of ring strain and heterosubstitution on the reactivity of small-ring radicals. 3-Aryl-3-carboxylic acid oxetanes and azetidines are suitable precursors to tertiary benzylic oxetane/azetidine radicals which undergo conjugate addition into activated alkenes. We compare the reactivity of oxetane radicals to other benzylic systems. Computational studies indicate that Giese additions of unstrained benzylic radicals into acrylates are reversible and result in low yields and radical dimerization. Benzylic radicals as part of a strained ring, however, are less stable and more π-delocalized, decreasing dimer and increasing Giese product formation. Oxetanes show high product yields due to ring strain and Bent's rule rendering the Giese addition irreversible.

Radical difluoromethylthiolation of aromatics enabled by visible light.

Project description:Direct introduction of a difluoromethylthio group (-SCF2H) to arenes represents an efficient route to access a valuable catalogue of organofluorines; however, to realize this transformation under metal-free and mild conditions still remains challenging and rarely reported. Herein, a metal-catalyst-free and redox-neutral innate difluoromethylthiolation method with a shelf-stable and readily available reagent, PhSO2SCF2H, under visible light irradiation is described. This light-mediated protocol successfully converts a broad spectrum of arenes and heteroarenes to difluoromethylthioethers in the absence of noble metals and stoichiometric amounts of additives.

Passerini Reactions on Biocatalytically Derived Chiral Azetidines.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to explore a series of Passerini reactions on a biocatalytically derived enantiopure azetidine-2-carboxyaldehyde in order to obtain, in a diastereoselective manner, polyfunctionalised derivatives having the potential to be cyclized to chiral bridged bicyclic nitrogen heterocycles. While diastereoselectivity was poor under classical Passerini conditions, a significant increase of diastereoselectivity (up to 76:24) was gained by the use of zinc bromide as promoter. The methodology has a broad scope and yields are always good.

Intracellular Synthesis of Indoles Enabled by Visible-Light Photocatalysis.

Project description:Performing abiotic synthetic transformations in live cell environments represents a new, promising approach to interrogate and manipulate biology and to uncover new types of biomedical tools. We now found that photocatalytic bond-forming reactions can be added to the toolbox of bioorthogonal synthetic chemistry. Specifically, we demonstrate that exogenous styryl aryl azides can be converted into indoles inside living mammalian cells under photocatalytic conditions.
