Easy access to medium-sized lactones through metal carbene migratory insertion enabled 1,4-palladium shift.

ABSTRACT: Reactions that efficiently construct medium-sized lactones are significant, as they overcome the unfavorable entropic factor and transannular interactions for ring closure, and the lactones produced are common structural motifs recurring in many biologically active compounds. Herein, we describe a valuable strategy for medium-sized lactone synthesis by accomplishing site-selective C-H bond functionalization via a palladium carbene migratory insertion enabled 1,4-palladium shift. The overall process achieves the formal dimerization of two readily available benzaldehyde derivatives, providing value-added products medium-sized lactones. Our method is amenable to late-stage modification of approved drugs and other complex molecules. Mechanistic studies including deuterium-labeling experiments and DFT calculation shed light on the reaction pathways.

Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling Enabled by Aryl to Vinyl 1,4-Palladium Migration.

Project description:The Suzuki-Miyaura coupling is a fundamentally important transformation in modern organic synthesis. The development of new reaction modes for new chemical accessibility and higher synthetic efficiency is still the consistent pursuance in this field. An efficient Suzuki-Miyaura coupling enabled by a controllable 1,4-palladium migration was realized to afford stereodefined multisubstituted olefins and 1,3-dienes. The reaction exhibits remarkable broad substrate scope, excellent functional-group tolerance, versatile conversion with obtained products, and easy scalability. The practicality of this method is highlighted by the aggregation-induced emission feature of the produced olefins and 1,3-dienes, as well as the capability of affording geometric isomer pairs with a marked difference on photoluminescent quantum yield values.

Remote Construction of N-Heterocycles via 1,4-Palladium Shift-Mediated Double C-H Activation.

Project description:In the past years, Pd0 -catalyzed C(sp3 )-H activation provided efficient and step-economical methods to synthesize carbo- and heterocycles via direct C(sp2 )-C(sp3 ) bond formation. We report herein that a 1,4-Pd shift allows access to N-heterocycles which are difficult to build via a direct reaction. It is shown that o-bromo-N-methylanilines undergo a 1,4-Pd shift at the N-methyl group, followed by intramolecular trapping by C(sp2 )-H or C(sp3 )-H activation at another nitrogen substituent and remote C-C bond formation to generate biologically relevant isoindolines and β-lactams. The product selectivity is influenced by the employed ligand, with NHCs favoring the product of remote C-C coupling against products arising from direct C-C coupling and N-demethylation.

Regio- and enantioselective umpolung gem-difluoroallylation of hydrazones via palladium catalysis enabled by N-heterocyclic carbene ligand.

Project description:The enantioselective construction of C-CF2R (R: alkyl or fluoroalkyl) bonds has attracted the attention of synthetic chemists because of the importance of chiral fluorinated compounds in life and materials sciences. Catalytic asymmetric fluoroalkylation has mainly been realized under organocatalysis and Lewis acid catalysis, with substrates limited to carbonyl compounds. Few examples using transition-metal catalysis exist, owing to side reactions including decomposition and isomerization of fluoroalkylating reagents. Herein we report umpolung asymmetric difluoroallylation of hydrazones with 3-bromo-3,3-difluoropropene (BDFP) under palladium catalysis. Difluoroallylation products having quaternary chiral carbon centers are afforded in good yields with high α/γ- and enantioselectivities. The usefulness of the reaction products is demonstrated and an inner-sphere mechanism of the reaction is proposed. The use of chiral N-heterocyclic carbene as ligand is the key for the selectivities as well as the productivity of the reaction.

Biocatalytic Conversion of Cyclic Ketones Bearing ?-Quaternary Stereocenters into Lactones in an Enantioselective Radical Approach to Medium-Sized Carbocycles.

Project description:Cyclic ketones bearing ?-quaternary stereocenters underwent efficient kinetic resolution using cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO) from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. Lactones possessing tetrasubstituted stereocenters were obtained with high enantioselectivity (up to >99?%?ee) and complete chemoselectivity. Preparative-scale biotransformations were exploited in conjunction with a SmI2 -mediated cyclization process to access complex, enantiomerically enriched cycloheptan- and cycloctan-1,4-diols. In a parallel approach to structurally distinct products, enantiomerically enriched ketones from the resolution with an ?-quaternary stereocenter were used in a SmI2 -mediated cyclization process to give cyclobutanol products (up to >99?%?ee).

A remote C-C bond cleavage-enabled skeletal reorganization: Access to medium-/large-sized cyclic alkenes.

Project description:Although great success has been achieved in selective C-C bond cleavage via the intramolecular radical remote migration process of several carbon-based groups, the development of the radical-based remote vinyl migration process remains a formidable challenge because of the energetically unfavorable process. To address this problem, we report here, for the first time, a novel C-C bond reorganization strategy via an unprecedented radical 1,3-, 1,4-, or 1,5-vinyl migration triggered by various types of fluoroalkylation of alkenes for the efficient realization of 1,2-fluoroalkylalkenylation reaction. This strategy provides an expedient and broadly applicable platform to access skeletally and functionally diverse fluoroalkyl-containing medium- and large-sized cyclic alkenes with excellent chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity. The broad substrate scope, which covers distinctly electron-neutral or electron-deficient alkenyl migrating groups and various fluoroalkyl radical precursors, the excellent functional group tolerance, the remarkable selectivity, and the operational simplicity, as well as versatile transformations of the products, make this approach practical and attractive.

Palladium carbene complexes as persistent radicals.

Project description:A series of palladium(ii) radical carbene complexes, [PC?(sp2)P]PdI, [PC?(sp2)P]PdBr, and [PC?(sp2)P]PdCl (PC(sp3)H2P = bis[2-(di-iso-propylphosphino)-phenyl]methane), is described. Compound [PC?(sp2)P]PdI dimerizes to {[PC(sp2)P]PdI}2 in the solid state, akin to the formation of Gomberg's dimer. While the bromo and the iodo derivatives could be obtained from the oxidation of [PC(sp2)P]Pd(PMe3) by the respective dihalogens, a halogen transfer reaction from CH2Cl2 was used for the formation of [PC?(sp2)P]PdCl. The halogen transfer from CH2X2 (X = Cl, Br, I) could be used to obtain all three radical carbene palladium complexes and also allowed the isolation of [PC(CH2)P]Pd(PMe3), which is the result of methylene group transfer from CH2X2. Compound [PC(CH2)P]Pd(PMe3) was independently synthesized from [PC(CH3)HP]PdCl2, which contains a supporting ligand analogous to that of the radical carbene complexes but has one of the hydrogen atoms replaced by a methyl group. All three carbene radical species abstract a hydrogen from 9,10-dihydroanthracene or n Bu3SnH.

A Polyketide Cyclase That Forms Medium-Ring Lactones.

Project description:Medium-ring lactones are synthetically challenging due to unfavorable energetics involved in cyclization. We have discovered a thioesterase enzyme DcsB, from the decarestrictine C1 (1) biosynthetic pathway, that efficiently performs medium-ring lactonizations. DcsB shows broad substrate promiscuity toward linear substrates that vary in lengths and substituents, and is a potential biocatalyst for lactonization. X-ray crystal structure and computational analyses provide insights into the molecular basis of catalysis.

A Cooperative N-Heterocyclic Carbene/Palladium Catalysis System.

Project description:N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) have been extensively studied as organocatalysts and ligands for transition metals, but the successful integration of NHCs and late transition metals in cooperative catalysis remains an underexplored area. We have developed a cooperative palladium-catalyzed allylation of NHC-activated aldehydes to access a variety of 3-allyl dihydrocoumarin derivatives. Kinetic experiments support a cooperative pathway for this transformation.

Stereodivergent Intramolecular Cyclopropanation Enabled by Engineered Carbene Transferases.

Project description:We report the development of engineered myoglobin biocatalysts for executing asymmetric intramolecular cyclopropanations resulting in cyclopropane-fused γ-lactones, which are key motifs found in many bioactive molecules. Using this strategy, a broad range of allyl diazoacetate substrates were efficiently cyclized in high yields with up to 99% enantiomeric excess. Upon remodeling of the active site via protein engineering, myoglobin variants with stereodivergent selectivity were also obtained. In combination with whole-cell transformations, these biocatalysts enabled the gram-scale assembly of a key intermediate useful for the synthesis of the insecticide permethrin and other natural products. The enzymatically produced cyclopropyl-γ-lactones can be further elaborated to furnish a variety of enantiopure trisubstituted cyclopropanes. This work introduces a first example of biocatalytic intramolecular cyclopropanation and provides an attractive strategy for the stereodivergent preparation of fused cyclopropyl-γ-lactones of high value for medicinal chemistry and the synthesis of natural products.

Palladium-Catalyzed Dearomative syn-1,4-Diamination.

Project description:Herein we report a dearomative syn-1,4-diamination protocol using simple nonactivated arenes and amines. This one-pot method utilizes arene-arenophile para-cycloadducts, formed via visible-light-mediated [4+2]-photocycloaddition that undergoes formal allylic substitution with amine nucleophiles under Pd-catalysis. The products are obtained with exclusive syn-1,4-selectivity; the method permits enantioselective desymmetrization of naphthalene, as well as elaborations of amine-containing drug molecules. Furthermore, the resulting unsaturated products are amenable to numerous options for diversification. Overall, this novel dearomative functionalization strategy offers rapid and straightforward access to complex building blocks, which are difficult to prepare otherwise, from simple arenes.
