Ring-opening functionalizations of unstrained cyclic amines enabled by difluorocarbene transfer.

ABSTRACT: Chemical synthesis based on the skeletal variation has been prolifically utilized as an attractive approach for modification of molecular properties. Given the ubiquity of unstrained cyclic amines, the ability to directly alter such motifs would grant an efficient platform to access unique chemical space. Here, we report a highly efficient and practical strategy that enables the selective ring-opening functionalization of unstrained cyclic amines. The use of difluorocarbene leads to a wide variety of multifaceted acyclic architectures, which can be further diversified to a range of distinctive homologative cyclic scaffolds. The virtue of this deconstructive strategy is demonstrated by successful modification of several natural products and pharmaceutical analogues.

Deconstructive Functionalizations of Unstrained Carbon-Nitrogen Cleavage Enabled by Difluorocarbene.

Project description:Transition-metal- or oxidant-promoted deconstructive functionalizations of noncyclic carbon-nitrogen bonds are well established, usually only leaving one moiety functionalized toward the final product. In contrast, concomitant C- and N-functionalizations via the unstrained C(sp3)-N bond under metal- and oxidant-free conditions are very rare, which would favorably confer versatility and product diversity. Disclosed herein is the first difluorocarbene-induced deconstructive functionalizations embodying successive C(sp3)-N bond cleavage of cyclic amines and synchronous functionalization of both constituent atoms which would be preserved in the eventual molecular outputs under transition-metal-free and oxidant-free conditions. Correspondent access to deuterated formamides with ample isotopic incorporation was demonstrated by a switch to heavy water which is conceivably useful in pharmaceutical sciences. The current strategy remarkably administers a very convenient, operationally simple and novel method toward molecular diversity from readily available starting materials. Therefore, we project that these findings would be of broad interest to research endeavors encompassing fluorine chemistry, carbene chemistry, C-N bond activation, as well as medicinal chemistry.

Catalytic Ring Expansions of Cyclic Alcohols Enabled by Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer.

Project description:We report here a catalytic method for the modular ring expansion of cyclic aliphatic alcohols. In this work, proton-coupled electron transfer activation of an allylic alcohol substrate affords an alkoxy radical intermediate that undergoes subsequent C-C bond cleavage to furnish an enone and a tethered alkyl radical. Recombination of this alkyl radical with the revealed olefin acceptor in turn produces a ring-expanded ketone product. The regioselectivity of this C-C bond-forming event can be reliably controlled via substituents on the olefin substrate, providing a means to convert a simple N-membered ring substrate to either n+1 or n+2 ring adducts in a selective fashion.

Catalytic Ring-Opening of Cyclic Alcohols Enabled by PCET Activation of Strong O-H Bonds.

Project description:We report a new photocatalytic protocol for the redox-neutral isomerization of cyclic alcohols to linear ketones via C-C bond scission. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that key alkoxy radical intermediates in this reaction are generated via the direct homolytic activation of alcohol O-H bonds in an unusual intramolecular PCET process, wherein the electron travels to a proximal radical cation in concert with proton transfer to a weak Brønsted base. Effective bond strength considerations are shown to accurately forecast the feasibility of alkoxy radical generation with a given oxidant/base pair.

Catalyst-Free Deaminative Functionalizations of Primary Amines by Photoinduced Single-Electron Transfer.

Project description:The use of pyridinium-activated primary amines as photoactive functional groups for deaminative generation of alkyl radicals under catalyst-free conditions is described. By taking advantage of the visible light absorptivity of electron donor-acceptor complexes between Katritzky pyridinium salts and either Hantzsch ester or Et3 N, photoinduced single-electron transfer could be initiated in the absence of a photocatalyst. This general reactivity platform has been applied to deaminative alkylation (Giese), allylation, vinylation, alkynylation, thioetherification, and hydrodeamination reactions. The mild conditions are amenable to a diverse range of primary and secondary alkyl pyridiniums and demonstrate broad functional group tolerance.

Ring-opening hydroarylation of monosubstituted cyclopropanes enabled by hexafluoroisopropanol.

Project description:Ring-opening hydroarylation of cyclopropanes is typically limited to substrates bearing a donor-acceptor motif. Here, the transformation is achieved for monosubstituted cyclopropanes by using catalytic Brønsted acid in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) solvent, constituting a rare example where such cyclopropanes engage in intermolecular C-C bond formation. Branched products are obtained when electron-rich arylcyclopropanes react with a broad scope of arene nucleophiles in accord with a simple SN1-type ring-opening mechanism. In contrast, linear products are obtained when cyclopropylketones react with electron-rich arene nucleophiles. In the latter case, mechanistic experiments and DFT-calculations support a homo-conjugate addition pathway.

Flavin-enabled reductive and oxidative epoxide ring opening reactions.

Project description:Epoxide ring opening reactions are common and important in both biological processes and synthetic applications and can be catalyzed in a non-redox manner by epoxide hydrolases or reductively by oxidoreductases. Here we report that fluostatins (FSTs), a family of atypical angucyclines with a benzofluorene core, can undergo nonenzyme-catalyzed epoxide ring opening reactions in the presence of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). The 2,3-epoxide ring in FST C is shown to open reductively via a putative enol intermediate, or oxidatively via a peroxylated intermediate with molecular oxygen as the oxidant. These reactions lead to multiple products with different redox states that possess a single hydroxyl group at C-2, a 2,3-vicinal diol, a contracted five-membered A-ring, or an expanded seven-membered A-ring. Similar reactions also take place in both natural products and other organic compounds harboring an epoxide adjacent to a carbonyl group that is conjugated to an aromatic moiety. Our findings extend the repertoire of known flavin chemistry that may provide new and useful tools for organic synthesis.

Visible light-promoted ring-opening functionalization of unstrained cycloalkanols <i>via</i> inert C-C bond scission.

Project description:Described herein is a novel, useful, visible light-promoted ring-opening functionalization of unstrained cycloalkanols. Upon scission of an inert cyclic C-C ?-bond, a set of medium- and large-sized rings are readily brominated under mild reaction conditions to afford the corresponding distal bromo-substituted alkyl ketones that are hard to synthesize otherwise. The products are versatile building blocks, which are easily converted to other valuable molecules in one-step operation. This protocol is also applicable to the unprecedented ring-opening cyanation and alkynylation of unstrained cycloalkanols.

Gold(I) Cationization Promotes Ring Opening in Lysine-Containing Cyclic Peptides.

Project description:A strategy to sequence lysine-containing cyclic peptides by MSn is presented. Doubly protonated cyclic peptides ions are transformed into gold (I) cationized peptide ions via cation switching ion/ion reaction. Gold(I) cationization facilitates the oxidation of neutral lysine residues in the gas phase, weakening the adjacent amide bond. Upon activation, facile cleavage N-terminal to the oxidized lysine residue provides a site-specific ring opening pathway that converts cyclic peptides into acyclic analogs. The ensuing ion contains a cyclic imine as the new N-terminus and an oxazolone, or structural equivalent, as the new C-terminus. Product ions are formed from subsequent fragmentation events of the linearized peptide ion. Such an approach simplifies MS/MS data interpretation as a series of fragment ions with common N- and C-termini are generated. Results are presented for two cyclic peptides, sunflower trypsin inhibitor and the model cyclic peptide, β-Loop. The power of this strategy lies in the ability to generate the oxidized peptide, which is easily identified via the loss of HAuNH3 from [M + Au]+. While some competitive processes are observed, the site of ring opening can be pinpointed to the lysine residue upon MS4 enabling the unambiguous sequencing of cyclic peptides.

Bottle-grade polyethylene furanoate from ring-opening polymerisation of cyclic oligomers.

Project description:Polyethylene furanoate (PEF) represents a promising renewable resource-based bioplastic as replacement for fossil-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with improved material properties. However, the synthesis of PEF through conventional polycondensation remains challenging, since the time-intensive reaction leads to degradation and undesired discolouration of the product. Here we show the successful rapid synthesis of bottle-grade PEF via ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) from cyclic PEF oligomers within minutes, thereby avoiding degradation and discolouration. The melting point of such mixture of cyclic oligomers lies around 370 °C, well above the degradation temperature of PEF (~329 °C). This challenge can be overcome, exploiting the self-plasticising effect of the forming polymer itself (which melts around 220 °C) by initiation in the presence of a high boiling, yet removable, and inert liquid plasticiser. This concept yields polymer grades required for bottle applications (Mn > 30 kg mol-1, conversion > 95%, colour-free products), and can be extended to other diffusion-limited polymer systems.
