Formal [3+2] Cycloaddition Reactions of Electron-Rich Aryl Epoxides with Alkenes under Lewis Acid Catalysis Affording Tetrasubstituted Tetrahydrofurans.

ABSTRACT: We report on the regio- and stereoselective synthesis of tetrahydrofurans by reaction between epoxides and alkenes in the presence of a Lewis acid. This is an unprecedented formal [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between an epoxide and an alkene. The chemical reaction represents a very concise synthesis of tetrahydrofurans from accessible starting compounds.

HFIP-Promoted Synthesis of Substituted Tetrahydrofurans by Reaction of Epoxides with Electron-Rich Alkenes.

Project description:In the present work, the employment of fluorinated alcohols, specifically 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP), as solvent and promoter of the catalyst-free synthesis of substituted tetrahydrofuranes through the addition of electron-rich alkenes to epoxydes is described. The unique properties of this fluorinated alcohol, which is very different from their non-fluorinated analogs, allows carrying out this new straightforward protocol under smooth reaction conditions affording the corresponding adducts in moderate yields in the majority of cases. Remarkably, this methodology has allowed the synthesis of new tetrahydrofuran-based spiro compounds as well as tetrahydrofurobenzofuran derivatives. The scope and limitations of the process are also discussed. Mechanistic studies were also performed pointing towards a purely ionic or a SN2-type process depending on the nucleophilicity of the alkene employed.

Enantioselective synthesis of 2,2,5-tri- and 2,2,5,5-tetrasubstituted tetrahydrofurans via [4 + 2] cycloaddition and ring-opening cross-metathesis.

Project description:A chiral vinyl sulfoxide has been developed that undergoes highly diastereoselective Diels-Alder cycloadditions with various substituted furans in excellent yield. The cycloadducts can be stereoselectively transformed into 2,2,5-tri- and 2,2,5,5-tetrasubstituted tetrahydrofurans, which are structural subunits of many natural products, via regioselective ring-opening metathesis/cross-metathesis or oxidative cleavage/refunctionalization.

Lewis acid-promoted [2 + 2] cycloadditions of alkenes with aryl ketenes.

Project description:A method for the [2 + 2] cycloaddition of aryl ketenes and alkenes is presented. The process involves the in situ generation of a ketene in the presence of a Lewis acid. The utility of products is demonstrated towards the synthesis of a common scaffold found in several natural product families.

Stereoselective Lewis base catalyzed formal 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine imines with mixed anhydrides.

Project description:Stereoselective synthesis of pyrazolidinones via dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine imines with active esters under Lewis base catalysis is presented. The active esters are readily generated in situ from the corresponding acids. Products, which are obtained with excellent diastereocontrol and high enantioselectivity, contain along with the pyrazolidinone core also the tetrahydroisoquinoline structural motif. Theoretical studies give insight into the mechanism of the formal cycloaddition reaction.

Enantiodivergent [4+2] Cycloaddition of Dienolates by Polyfunctional Lewis Acid/Zwitterion Catalysis.

Project description:Diels-Alder reactions have become established as one of the most effective ways to prepare stereochemically complex six-membered rings. Different catalysis concepts have been reported, including dienophile activation by Lewis acids or H-bond donors and diene activation by bases. Herein we report a new concept, in which an acidic prodiene is acidified by a Lewis acid to facilitate deprotonation by an imidazolium-aryloxide entity within a polyfunctional catalyst. A metal dienolate is thus formed, while an imidazolium-ArOH moiety probably forms hydrogen bonds with the dienophile. The catalyst type, readily prepared in few steps in high overall yield, was applied to 3-hydroxy-2-pyrone and 3-hydroxy-2-pyridone as well as cyclopentenone prodienes. Maleimide, maleic anhydride, and nitroolefin dienophiles were employed. Kinetic, spectroscopic, and control experiments support a cooperative mode of action. High enantioselectivity was observed even with unprecedented TONs of up to 3680.

Nickel-catalyzed regiodivergent opening of epoxides with aryl halides: co-catalysis controls regioselectivity.

Project description:Epoxides are versatile intermediates in organic synthesis, but have rarely been employed in cross-coupling reactions. We report that bipyridine-ligated nickel can mediate the addition of functionalized aryl halides, a vinyl halide, and a vinyl triflate to epoxides under reducing conditions. For terminal epoxides, the regioselectivity of the reaction depends upon the cocatalyst employed. Iodide cocatalysis results in opening at the less hindered position via an iodohydrin intermediate. Titanocene cocatalysis results in opening at the more hindered position, presumably via Ti(III)-mediated radical generation. 1,2-Disubstituted epoxides are opened under both conditions to form predominantly the trans product.

A formal [3 + 3] cycloaddition of allenyl imide and activated ketones for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted 2-pyrones.

Project description:CsOH·H2O-catalyzed formal [3 + 3] cycloadditions of allenyl imide with β-ketoesters, 1,3-diketones or β-ketonitriles for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted 2-pyrone derivatives have been demonstrated. The allenyl imide was utilized as a C3-synthon, and a ketenyl intermediate was proposed via the process of 1,4-addition of carbon anion to allene followed by elimination of the 2-oxazolidinyl group.

Hydroalkylation of Aryl Alkenes with Organohalides Catalyzed by Molybdenum Oxido Based Lewis Pairs.

Project description:Three molybdenum(VI) dioxido complexes [MoO2(L)2] bearing Schiff base ligands were reacted with B(C6F5)3 to afford the corresponding adducts [MoO{OB(C6F5)3}(L)2], which were fully characterized. They exhibit Frustrated Lewis-Pairs reactivity when reacting with silanes. Especially, the [MoO{OB(C6F5)3}(L)2] complex with L=2,4-dimethyl-6-((phenylimino)methyl)phenol proved to be active as catalyst for the hydroalkylation of aryl alkenes with organohalides and for the Atom-Transfer Radical Addition (ATRA) of organohalides to aliphatic alkenes. A series of gem-dichloride and gem-dibromide compounds with potential for further derivatization were synthesized from simple alkenes and organohalides, like chloroform or bromoform, using low catalyst loading.

DFT Studies on the Mechanism of the Iridium-Catalyzed Formal [4 + 1] Cycloaddition of Biphenylene with Alkenes.

Project description:Recently, we reported an Ir-catalyzed formal [4 + 1] cycloaddition of biphenylenes with alkenes, which gave 9,9-disubstituted fluorenes in moderate to excellent yields. We proposed a reaction mechanism that involved the intermolecular insertion of alkenes, β-elimination, and intramolecular insertion based on the results of experimental mechanistic studies. Herein, we further support the proposed mechanism by density functional theory calculations and explain why [4 + 1] cycloaddition proceeds rather than conventional [4 + 2] cycloaddition.
