A metal-free aromative cascade for the synthesis of diverse heterocycles.

ABSTRACT: A metal-free aromative cascade has been developed for the synthesis of diverse heterocycles from readily accessible hydroxy/aminochalcones and acid/alkyl halides. The cascade being by a base-mediated intramolecular aldol cyclization/dehydration sequence to provide a triene, which sets the stage for a 6π-electrocyclization/oxidative aromatization to access diverse heterocyclic scaffolds.

Diverse saturated heterocycles from a hydroacylation/conjugate addition cascade.

Project description:Rhodium-catalyzed hydroacylation using alkynes substituted with pendant nucleophiles, delivers linear α,β-unsaturated enone intermediates with excellent regioselectivity. These adducts are used to construct a broad range of diversely substituted, saturated O-, N- and S-heterocycles in a one-pot process. Judicious choice of cyclisation conditions enabled isolation of O-heterocycles with high levels of diastereoselectivity. A variety of derivatisation reactions are also performed, generating functionalised hydroacylation products. This sequence serves as a general approach for the synthesis of fully saturated heterocycles.

Cascade Catalysis Through Bifunctional Lipase Metal Biohybrids for the Synthesis of Enantioenriched O-Heterocycles from Allenes.

Project description:Lipase/metal nanobiohybrids, generated by growth of silver or gold nanoparticles on protein matrixes are used as highly effective dual-activity heterogeneous catalysts for the production of enantiomerically enriched 2,5-dihydrofurans from allenic acetates in a one-pot cascade process combining a lipase-mediated hydrolytic kinetic resolution with a metal-catalyzed allene cycloisomerization. Incorporating a novel strategy based on enzyme-polymer bioconjugates in the nanobiohybrid preparation enables excellent conversions in the process. Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) in combination with a dextran-based polymer modifier (DexAsp) proved to be most efficient when merged with silver nanoparticles. A range of hybrid materials were produced, combining Ag or Au metals with Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase (TLL) or CALB and its DexAsp or polyethyleneimine polymer bioconjugates. The wider applicability of the biohybrids is demonstrated by their use in allenic alcohol cyclizations, where a variety of dihydrofurans are obtained using a CALB/gold nanomaterial. These results underline the potential of the nanobiohybrid catalysis as promising approach to intricate one-pot synthetic strategies.

Synthesis of Saturated N-Heterocycles via a Catalytic Hydrogenation Cascade.

Project description:Saturated N-heterocycles are prominent motifs found in various natural products and pharmaceuticals. Despite the increasing interest in this class of compounds, the synthesis of saturated bicyclic azacycles requires tedious multi-step syntheses. Herein, we present a one-pot protocol for the synthesis of octahydroindoles, decahydroquinolines, and octahydroindolizines through a cascade reaction.

An unexpected synthesis of azepinone derivatives through a metal-free photochemical cascade reaction.

Project description:Azepinone derivatives are privileged in organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals. Synthetic approaches to these frameworks are limited to complex substrates, strong bases, high power UV light or noble metal catalysis. We herein report a mild synthesis of azepinone derivatives by a photochemical generation of 2-aryloxyaryl nitrene, [2 + 1] annulation, ring expansion/water addition cascade reaction without using any metal catalyst. Among the different nitrene precursors tested, 2-aryloxyaryl azides performed best under blue light irradiation and Brønsted acid catalysis. The reaction scope is broad and the obtained products underwent divergent transformations to afford other related compounds. A computational study suggests a pathway involving a step-wise aziridine formation, followed by a ring-expansion to the seven-membered heterocycle. Finally, water is added in a regio-selective manner, this is accelerated by the added TsOH.

Mechanistically diverse copper-, silver-, and gold-catalyzed acyloxy and phosphatyloxy migrations: efficient synthesis of heterocycles via cascade migration/cycloisomerization approach.

Project description:A set of cycloisomerization methodologies of alkynyl ketones and imines with concurrent acyloxy, phosphatyloxy, or sulfonyloxy group migration, which allow for the efficient synthesis of multisubstituted furans and N-fused heterocycles, has been developed. Investigation of the reaction course by way of employing 17O-labeled substrates allowed for elucidation of the mechanisms behind these diverse transformations. It was found that, while the phosphatyloxy migration in conjugated alkynyl imines in their cycloisomerization to N-fused pyrroles proceeded via a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement, the analogous cycloisomerization of skipped alkynyl ketones proceeds through two consecutive 1,2-migrations, resulting in an apparent 1,3-shift, followed by a subsequent 1,2-migration through competitive oxirenium and dioxolenylium pathways. Investigations of the 1,2-acyloxy migration of conjugated alkynyl ketones en route to furans demonstrated the involvement of a dioxolenylium intermediate. The mechanism of cycloisomerization of skipped alkynyl ketones containing an acyloxy group was found to be catalyst dependent; Lewis and Brønsted acid catalysts caused an ionization/SN1' isomerization to the allene, followed by cycloisomerization to the furan, whereas transition metal catalysts evoked a Rautenstrauch-type mechanistic pathway. Furthermore, control experiments in the cycloisomerization of skipped alkynyl ketones under transition metal catalysis revealed that, indeed, these reactions were catalyzed by transition metal complexes as opposed to Brønsted acids resulting from hydrolysis of these catalysts with eventual water. Further synthetic utility of the obtained phosphatyloxy-substituted heterocycles was demonstrated through their efficient employment in the Kumada cross-coupling reaction with various Grignard reagents.

Synthesis of polycyclic nitrogen heterocycles via alkene aminopalladation/carbopalladation cascade reactions.

Project description:A new method for the synthesis of tricyclic nitrogen heterocycles from N,2-diallylaniline derivatives is described. These transformations proceed via sequential alkene aminopalladation of an intermediate L(n)Pd(Ar)(NRR') species followed by alkene carbopalladation of the resulting L(n)Pd(Ar)(R) complex. Both alkene insertion steps occur in preference to C-N or C-C bond-forming reductive elimination. An unusual 1,3-palladium shift occurs when 2-Allyl-N-(2-vinylphenyl)aniline is employed as substrate, which yields a tetracyclic molecule with three contiguous stereocenters.

Modular synthesis of unsaturated aza-heterocycles via copper catalyzed multicomponent cascade reaction.

Project description:The unsaturated aza-heterocycles such as tetrahydropyridines pose significant applications in both drug discovery and development. However, the methods to construct polyfunctionalized tetrahydropyridines are still limited. Herein, we report a modular synthesis of tetrahydropyridines via copper catalyzed multicomponent radical cascade reaction. The reaction features mild conditions and broad substrate scope. In addition, the reaction could scale up to gram scale with similar yield. A variety of 1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridines with C3 and C5 substituents could be assembled from simple starting materials. More importantly, the products could serve as versatile intermediate to access various functionalized aza-heterocycles which further demonstrates its utility.

Metal-free carbocatalyst for room temperature acceptorless dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles.

Project description:Catalytic dehydrogenation enables reversible hydrogen storage in liquid organics as a critical technology to achieve carbon neutrality. However, oxidant or base-free catalytic dehydrogenation at mild temperatures remains a challenge. Here, we demonstrate a metal-free carbocatalyst, nitrogen-assembly carbons (NCs), for acceptorless dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles even at ambient temperature, showing greater activity than transition metal-based catalysts. Mechanistic studies indicate that the observed catalytic activity of NCs is because of the unique closely placed graphitic nitrogens (CGNs), formed by the assembly of precursors during the carbonization process. The CGN site catalyzes the activation of C─H bonds in N-heterocycles to form labile C─H bonds on catalyst surface. The subsequent facile recombination of this surface hydrogen to desorb H2 allows the NCs to work without any H-acceptor. With reverse transfer hydrogenation of various N-heterocycles demonstrated in this work, these NC catalysts, without precious metals, exhibit great potential for completing the cycle of hydrogen storage.
