A General Approach to Stereospecific Cross-Coupling Reactions of Nitrogen-Containing Stereocenters.


ABSTRACT: A novel strategy employing cyclohexyl spectator ligands in Stille cross-coupling reactions has been developed as a general solution to the long-standing challenge of conducting stereospecific cross-coupling reactions at nitrogen-containing stereocenters. This method enables direct access to enantioenriched products that are difficult (or impossible) to obtain via alternative preparative methods. Selective and predictable transfer of a single secondary alkyl unit can be achieved under reaction conditions that exploit subtle electronic differences between activated and unactivated alkyl units. Through this approach, enantioenriched ?-stannylated nitrogen-containing stereocenters undergo Pd-catalyzed arylation and acylation reactions with exceptionally high stereofidelity in all instances investigated. We demonstrate this process by using ?-stannylated pyrrolidine, azetidine, and open-chain (benzylic and non-benzylic) nucleophiles in stereospecific reactions. This process will facilitate rapid and reliable access to enantioenriched compounds possessing nitrogen-substituted stereocenters, which constitute ubiquitous structural motifs in biologically active compounds emerging from the drug-discovery process.
