Experimental and Computational Studies Unraveling the Peculiarity of Enolizable Oxoesters in the Organocatalyzed Mannich-Type Addition to Cyclic N-Acyl Iminium Ions.

ABSTRACT: ?- and ?-Oxoesters are easily available starting materials that have been sparingly used in some organocatalyzed reactions proceeding with a high enantioselectivity. In our experimentation we found that the use of these compounds as the enolizable (nucleophilic) component in organocatalyzed Mannich-type reactions using in situ-generated cyclic N-acyl iminium ions gave low diastereoselectivity and low to moderate values of enantioselectivity. This significant drop of facial selectivity with respect to simple aliphatic aldehydes has been rationalized by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Computational Study of the Stability of Pyrrolidine-Derived Iminium Ions: Exchange Equilibria between Iminium Ions and Carbonyl Compounds.

Project description:The tendency of carbonyl compounds to form iminium ions by reaction with pyrrolidine or chiral pyrrolidine derivatives (in other words, the relative stability to hydrolysis of these iminium ions) has been computationally examined, mainly using the M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p) method. We have thus obtained the equilibrium positions for R-CH=O + CH2=CH-CH=N+R2* → R-CH=N+R2* + CH2=CH-CH=O reactions and for related exchanges. In these exchanges, there is a transfer of a secondary amine between two carbonyl compounds. Their relative energies may be used to predict which iminium species can be predominantly formed when two or more carbonyl groups are present in a reaction medium. In the catalytic Michael additions of nucleophiles to iminium ions arising from conjugated enals, dienals, and trienals, if the formation of the new Nu-C bond is favorable, the chances of amino-catalyzed reactions to efficiently proceed, with high conversions, depend on the calculated energy values for these exchange equilibria, where the iminium tetrafluoroborates of the adducts (final iminium intermediates) must be more prone to hydrolysis than the initial iminium tetrafluoroborates. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the MacMillan catalysts and related oxazolidinones are especially suitable in this regard.

Enantioselective Alkynylation of Unstabilized Cyclic Iminium Ions.

Project description:An enantioselective copper-catalyzed alkynylation of unstabilized cyclic iminium ions has been developed. Whereas such alkynylations typically utilize pyridinium, quinolinium and isoquinolinium intermediates, this method enables use of cyclic iminium ions unstabilized by resonance. With the use of a Lewis acid and copper catalyst, these iminium ions are generated in situ from readily available hemiaminal methyl ethers and transformed into highly enantioenriched α-alkynylated cyclic amines. A variety of terminal alkynes can be incorporated in high yields and enantiomeric excesses.

Design and Evaluation of Ambiphilic Aryl Thiol-Iminium-Based Molecules for Organocatalyzed Thioacyl Aminolysis.

Project description:Progress toward the design and synthesis of ambiphilic aryl thiol-iminium-based small molecules for organocatalyzed thioacyl aminolysis is reported. Here we describe the synthesis of a novel tetrahydroisoquinoline-derived scaffold, bearing both thiol and iminium functionalities, capable of promoting the transthioesterification and subsequent amine capture reactions necessary to achieve organocatalyzed thioacyl aminolysis. Model studies demonstrate the ability of this designed organocatalyst to deliver critical intermediates capable of undergoing these individual reactions necessary for the proposed process. Future design improvements and directions toward cysteine-independent organocatalyzed native chemical ligation are discussed.

Molecular recognition and stabilization of iminium ions in water.

Project description:Iminium ions are known to exist only transiently in aqueous solution due to their high reactivity toward hydrolysis. In this communication, we report on the generation and stabilization of iminium ions in aqueous solution via molecular encapsulation using a K12Ga4L6 host. Our studies revealed that tetrahedral host 1 can encapsulate a variety of iminium cations in a molecular recognition process that is selective based on the charge, hydrophobicity, size, and shape of the guest.

Glycine enolates: the effect of formation of iminium ions to simple ketones on alpha-amino carbon acidity and a comparison with pyridoxal iminium ions.

Project description:Equilibrium constants in D2O were determined by 1H NMR analyses for formation of imines/iminium ions from addition of glycine methyl ester to acetone and from addition of glycine to phenylglyoxylate. First-order rate constants, also determined by 1H NMR, are reported for deuterium exchange between solvent D2O and the alpha-amino carbon of glycine methyl ester and glycine in the presence of increasing concentrations of ketone and Brønsted bases. These rate and equilibrium data were used to calculate second-order rate constants for deprotonation by DO- and by Brønsted bases of the alpha-imino carbon of the ketone adducts. Formation of the iminium ion between acetone and glycine methyl ester and between phenylglyoxylate and glycine is estimated to cause 7 unit and 15 unit decreases, respectively, in the pKa's of 21 and 29 for deprotonation of the parent carbon acids. The effect of formation of iminium ions to phenylglyoxylate and to 5'-deoxypyridoxal (DPL) [Toth, K.; Richard, J. P. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 3013-3021] on the carbon acidity of glycine is similar. However, DPL is a much better catalyst than phenylglyoxylate of deprotonation of glycine, because of the exceptionally large thermodynamic driving force for conversion of the amino acid and DPL to the reactive iminium ion.

π-Facial Selectivities in Hydride Reductions of Hindered Endocyclic Iminium Ions.

Project description:The origins of π-facial selectivities in the borohydride reduction of endocyclic iminium ions have been elucidated by density functional theory calculations. In reductions of conjugated ("thermodynamic") iminium ions, the π-facial preference of the hydride attack was found to be due to torsional steering. Attack at the favored π-face leads to a lower-energy "half-chair"-like conformation of the tetrahydropyridine product, whereas attack at the other π-face results in an unfavorable "twist-boat" conformation. In reductions of nonconjugated ("kinetic") iminium ions, torsional distinction is small between the top- and bottom-face attacks, and the π-facial selectivity of the hydride approach is primarily due to steric hindrance.

Enantioselective Michael addition/iminium ion cyclization cascades of tryptamine-derived ureas.

Project description:A Michael addition/iminium ion cyclization cascade of enones with tryptamine-derived ureas under BINOL phosphoric acid (BPA) catalysis is reported. The cascade reaction tolerates a wide variety of easily synthesized tryptamine-derived ureas, including those bearing substituents on the distal nitrogen atom of the urea moiety, affording polyheterocyclic products in good yields and good to excellent enantioselectivities.

Asymmetric Michael Addition Organocatalyzed by α,β-Dipeptides under Solvent-Free Reaction Conditions.

Project description:The application of six novel α,β-dipeptides as chiral organocatalysts in the asymmetric Michael addition reaction between enolizable aldehydes and N-arylmaleimides or nitroolefins is described. With N-arylmaleimides as substrates, the best results were achieved with dipeptide 2 as a catalyst in the presence of aq. NaOH. Whereas dipeptides 4 and 6 in conjunction with 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and thiourea as a hydrogen bond donor proved to be highly efficient organocatalytic systems in the enantioselective reaction between isobutyraldehyde and various nitroolefins.

Diastereodivergent chiral aldehyde catalysis for asymmetric 1,6-conjugated addition and Mannich reactions.

Project description:Chiral aldehyde catalysis is a burgeoning strategy for the catalytic asymmetric α-functionalization of aminomethyl compounds. However, the reaction types are limited and to date include no examples of stereodivergent catalysis. In this work, we disclose two chiral aldehyde-catalysed diastereodivergent reactions: a 1,6-conjugate addition of amino acids to para-quinone methides and a bio-inspired Mannich reaction of pyridinylmethanamines and imines. Both the syn- and anti-products of these two reactions can be obtained in moderate to high yields, diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Four potential reaction models produced by DFT calculations are proposed to explain the observed stereoselective control. Our work shows that chiral aldehyde catalysis based on a reversible imine formation principle is applicable for the α-functionalization of both amino acids and aryl methylamines, and holds potential to promote a range of asymmetric transformations diastereoselectively.

Enantioselective Michael Addition of Aldehydes to Maleimides Organocatalyzed by a Chiral Primary Amine-Salicylamide.

Project description:A primary amine-salicylamide derived from chiral trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine was used as an organocatalyst for the enantioselective conjugate addition of aldehydes, mainly ?,?-disubstituted to N-substituted maleimides. The reaction was performed in toluene as a solvent at room temperature. The corresponding enantioenriched adducts were obtained with high yields and enantioselectivities up to 94%. Theoretical calculations were used to justify the stereoinduction.
