Concise Formal Synthesis of the Pseudopterosins via Anionic Oxy-Cope/Transannular Michael Addition Cascade.

ABSTRACT: An anionic oxy-Cope/transannular Michael addition cascade converts a spirocyclic architecture-readily available by Diels-Alder cycloaddition-into the hydrophenalene carbon skeleton of the pseudopterosin aglycones. Oxidation of the resulting cyclohexenone ring to the phenol that is characteristic of the targets completes a short formal synthesis.

Synthesis of (+)-sch 642305 by a biomimetic transannular Michael reaction.

Project description:[reaction: see text] The synthesis of (+)-Sch 642305 (1) has been completed in 17 steps in 1.6% overall yield. Transannular Michael reaction of 2b with NaH in THF provided cyclohexenone 23 stereospecifically. Heating 23 in TFA/CDCl(3) provided a 3:1 equilibrium mixture of 23 and 25, which was hydrolyzed to give (+)-6-epi-Sch 642305 (24) and (+)-Sch 642305 (1), respectively.

Concise Enantioselective Synthesis of Oxygenated Steroids via Sequential Copper(II)-Catalyzed Michael Addition/Intramolecular Aldol Cyclization Reactions.

Project description:A new scalable enantioselective approach to functionalized oxygenated steroids is described. This strategy is based on chiral bis(oxazoline) copper(II) complex-catalyzed enantioselective and diastereoselective Michael reactions of cyclic ketoesters and enones to install vicinal quaternary and tertiary stereocenters. In addition, the utility of copper(II) salts as highly active catalysts for the Michael reactions of traditionally unreactive ?,?'-enones and substituted ?,?'-ketoesters that results in unprecedented Michael adducts containing vicinal all-carbon quaternary centers is also demonstrated. The Michael adducts subsequently undergo base-promoted diastereoselective aldol cascade reactions resulting in the natural or unnatural steroid skeletons. The experimental and computational studies suggest that the torsional strain effects arising from the presence of the ?(5)-unsaturation are key controlling elements for the formation of the natural cardenolide scaffold. The described method enables expedient generation of polycyclic molecules including modified steroidal scaffolds as well as challenging-to-synthesize Hajos-Parrish and Wieland-Miescher ketones.

On-Surface Driven Formal Michael Addition Produces m-Polyaniline Oligomers on Pt(111).

Project description:On-surface synthesis is emerging as a highly rational bottom-up methodology for the synthesis of molecular structures that are unattainable or complex to obtain by wet chemistry. Here, oligomers of meta-polyaniline, a known ferromagnetic polymer, were synthesized from para-aminophenol building-blocks via an unexpected and highly specific on-surface formal 1,4 Michael-type addition at the meta position, driven by the reduction of the aminophenol molecule. We rationalize this dehydrogenation and coupling reaction mechanism with a combination of in situ scanning tunneling and non-contact atomic force microscopies, high-resolution synchrotron-based X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles calculations. This study demonstrates the capability of surfaces to selectively modify local molecular conditions to redirect well-established synthetic routes, such as Michael coupling, towards the rational synthesis of new covalent nanostructures.

Enantioselective Catalysis of an Anionic Oxy-Cope Rearrangement Enabled by Synergistic Ion Binding.

Project description:Charge-accelerated rearrangements present interesting challenges to enantioselective catalysis, due in large part to the competing requirements for maximizing reactivity (ion-pair separation) and stereochemical communication. Herein, we describe application of a synergistic ion-binding strategy to catalyze the anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement of a symmetric bis-styrenyl allyl alcohol in up to 75:25 e.r. Structure-reactivity-selectivity relationship studies, including linear free-energy-relationship analyses, with bifunctional urea catalysts indicate that H-bonding and cation-binding interactions act cooperatively to promote the chemo- and enantioselective [3,3]-rearrangement. Implications for catalyst designs applicable to other transformations involving oxyanionic intermediates are discussed.

A formal synthesis of (-)-englerin A by relay ring closing metathesis and transannular etherification.

Project description:A bicyclization approach to englerin A has culminated in a formal asymmetric total synthesis. Key transformations in the 10-step sequence are a regiospecific epoxide opening and a relay ene-yne-ene metathesis that converts linear substrates specifically to ?(4,6)-guaiadiene-9,10 diol derivatives. Regiospecific functionalization of the diene moiety installs the oxygen bridge required for the englerin tricyclic core.

DBU Promoted Polysubstituted Arene Formation via a Michael Addition/Cyclization/Elimination Cascade Reaction.

Project description:The straightforward construction of polysubstituted arenes is essential in both synthetic chemistry and medicinal chemistry. Herein, we reported a DBU promoted Michael addition/cyclization/elimination cascade reaction between vinylogous malononitrile derivatives and chlorinated nitrostyrenes for the synthesis of polysubstituted arenes. The method features mild reaction conditions, wide substrate scope and high yield. Interestingly, preliminary study of the enantioselective version of this cascade was conducted to give chiral biaryl atropisomers with up to 40% ee through center-to-axial chirality transfer strategy.

Cross-Metathesis of Methallyl Halides: Concise Enantioselective Formal Total Synthesis of (-)-Presphaerene.

Project description:The cross-metathesis (CM) of methallyl halides catalyzed using four different ruthenium-based complexes-Grubbs catalyst, Grubbs second-generation catalyst, Hoveyda-Grubbs second-generation catalyst, and Stewart-Grubbs catalyst-was investigated. When methallyl chloride or bromide was reacted with a model substrate containing a benzyl ether group, the Grubbs catalyst, and Grubbs second-generation catalyst did not promote the reaction well. However, the Hoveyda-Grubbs second-generation catalyst and Stewart-Grubbs catalyst afforded the corresponding products in moderate to good yield with moderate E/Z selectivity. Accordingly, several functionalized methallyl halides were prepared by CM. Various functional groups were well-tolerated in this system when the Stewart-Grubbs catalyst was used. To demonstrate the practical utility of our method, methallyl halide CM was successfully employed for the formal total synthesis of a natural product (-)-presphaerene, in which the precursor of the key cyclopentanecarboxylate intermediate was efficiently prepared in three steps.

Cascade aza-Michael Addition-Cyclizations; Toward Renewable and Multifunctional Carboxylic Acids for Melt-Polycondensation.

Project description:Although the aza-Michael addition reaction on various unsaturated (di-)carboxylic acids and esters of, for example, itaconic acid, is well-known, the consecutive cyclization reaction has not received much attention in literature. The products of this aza-Michael cascade reaction, being mono- or di-carboxylic acid or ester functionalized N-alkyl-pyrrolidone structures, prove interesting for melt-polycondensation reactions as they exhibit excellent stability at elevated temperatures. In other words, this reaction is a toolbox for the generation of renewable monomers and, in turn, polymers with tunable physiological properties. Therefore, this work provides an overview of the state-of-the-art of the cascade aza-Michael addition-cyclization reactions on biobased unsaturated acids and esters, and their use in polymerization reactions. Furthermore, we extend this overview with the cascade aza-Michael addition-cyclization reaction of trans-trimethyl aconitate with di-amines to form a tetra-functional N-alkyl-bis-(pyrrolidone dimethylcarboxylate), which exhibits excellent thermal stability and could effectively be used as monomer in polycondensation reactions. Importantly, the aza-Michael addition reaction between primary amines and trans-trimethyl aconitate can be considered a click-reaction; it proceeds quantitatively within minutes under ambient conditions and follows the principles of green chemistry.

Biocatalytic decarboxylative Michael addition for synthesis of 1,4-benzoxazinone derivatives.

Project description:The Candida antarctica lipase B (Novozym 435) is found to catalyze a novel decarboxylative Michael addition in vinylogous carbamate systems for the synthesis of 1,4-benzoxazinone derivatives. The reaction goes through Michael addition, ester hydrolysis and decarboxylation. A possible mechanism is suggested, with simultaneous lipase-catalyzed Michael addition and ester hydrolysis. The present methodology offers formation of complex products through multi-step reactions in a one pot process under mild and facile reaction conditions with moderate to high yields (51-90%) and no side product formation. The reaction seems to be is a great example of enzymatic promiscuity.
