CF₃-Containing para-Quinone Methides for Organic Synthesis.

ABSTRACT: A new family of CF₃-containing para-quinone methides (CF₃-QMs) was systematically investigated for its suitability in organic synthesis. Addition of different nucleophiles gives access to target molecules with a benzylic CF₃-containing stereogenic center straightforwardly. The electrophilicity parameter E of the prototypical CF₃-QM 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethylidene)cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-one was determined to be -11.68 according to the Mayr scale, making it one of the most reactive quinone methides known so far.

Enantioselective Spirocyclopropanation of para-Quinone Methides Using Ammonium Ylides.

Project description:The use of Cinchona alkaloid-based chiral ammonium ylides allows for the first highly enantioselective and broadly applicable spirocyclopropanation reactions of para-quinone methides. This strategy provides a straightforward protocol toward the chiral spiro[2.5]octa-4,7-dien-6-one skeleton, which is a frequently found structural motif in important biologically active molecules.

Diastereoselective synthesis of CF3-dihydrobenzofurans by [4+1] annulation of in situ-generated CF3-o-quinone methides and sulfur ylides.

Project description:An efficient and highly diastereoselective synthesis of CF3-dihydrobenzofurans by the reaction of in situ-generated CF3-oQMs in the presence of a base with sulphur ylides is put forward. The generality of the present developed method was well studied with diverse substrates to access the corresponding products in excellent yields. The highly reactive CF3-oQM has been utilized first time for the annulation reaction.

Phenolic Oxidation Using H2O2 via in Situ Generated para-Quinone Methides for the Preparation of para-Spiroepoxydienones.

Project description:Phenols are attractive starting materials for the preparation of highly substituted cyclohexane rings via dearomative processes. Herein we report an efficient preparation of dearomatized 1-oxaspiro[2.5]octa-4,7-dien-6-ones (para-spiroepoxydienones) via the nucleophilic epoxidation of in situ generated para-quinone methides from 4-(hydroxymethyl)phenols using aqueous H2O2. The developed protocol bypasses the need for stoichiometric bismuth reagents or diazomethane, which are frequently deployed for p-spiroepoxydienone preparation. The p-spiroepoxydienones are further elaborated in numerous downstream complexity-building transformations.

Enantioselective Catalytic [4+1]-Cyclization of ortho-Hydroxy-para-Quinone Methides with Allenoates.

Project description:The first highly asymmetric catalytic synthesis of densely functionalized dihydrobenzofurans is reported, which starts from ortho-hydroxy-containing para-quinone methides. The reaction relies on an unprecedented formal [4+1]-annulation of these quinone methides with allenoates in the presence of a commercially available chiral phosphine catalyst. The chiral dihydrobenzofurans were obtained as single diastereomers in yields up to 90 % and with enantiomeric ratios up to 95:5.

Harnessing quinone methides: total synthesis of (±)-vaticanol?A.

Project description:Although quinone methides are often postulated as intermediates in the biosynthesis of many polyphenolic natural products, deploying their power in a laboratory setting to achieve similar bond constructions has sometimes proven challenging. Herein, a total synthesis of the resveratrol trimer vaticanol A has been achieved through three instances of quinone methide chemistry. These operations, one of which succeeded only under very specific conditions, expediently generated its [7,5]-carbocyclic core, afforded a unique sequence for dihydrobenzofuran formation, and concurrently generated, in addition to the target molecule, a series of diastereomers reflective of many other isolates.

Isothiourea-Catalyzed Enantioselective α-Alkylation of Esters via 1,6-Conjugate Addition to para-Quinone Methides.

Project description:The isothiourea-catalyzed enantioselective 1,6-conjugate addition of para-nitrophenyl esters to 2,6-disubstituted para-quinone methides is reported. para-Nitrophenoxide, generated in situ from initial N-acylation of the isothiourea by the para-nitrophenyl ester, is proposed to facilitate catalyst turnover in this transformation. A range of para-nitrophenyl ester products can be isolated, or derivatized in situ by addition of benzylamine to give amides at up to 99% yield. Although low diastereocontrol is observed, the diastereoisomeric ester products are separable and formed with high enantiocontrol (up to 94:6 er).

Project description:The highly enantioselective (>99.5% ee) synthesis of a new class of densely functionalized ?2,2-amino acid derivatives by reacting isoxazolidin-5-ones with para-quinone methides in the presence of chiral ammonium salt phase-transfer catalysts was developed. The reaction proceeds with exceptionally low catalyst loadings down to 20 ppm on gram scale and the utilization of the primary addition products towards further manipulations was demonstrated for selected examples.

Primary activation of para-quinone methides by chiral phosphoric acid for enantioselective construction of tetraarylmethanes.

Project description:Demonstrated here is an asymmetric nucleophilic addition via primary activation of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) based on a chiral phosphoric acid catalytic system. In sharp contrast to previous CPA-based bifunctional activation processes that all required the nucleophiles to have an effective hydrogen bond donor unit (e.g., OH, NH), here no such unit is required in the nucleophile. N-protected indole nucleophiles were successfully utilized for the synthesis of chiral tetraarylmethanes with high efficiency and enantioselectivity under mild conditions. Therefore, this protocol significantly expanded the scope of asymmetric transformations of p-QMs.
