Regioselective Intramolecular Allene Amidation Enabled by an EDA Complex*.

ABSTRACT: The addition of radicals to unsaturated precursors is a powerful tool for the synthesis of both carbo- and heterocyclic organic building blocks. The recent advent of mild ways to generate N-centered radicals has reignited interest in exploiting highly regio-, chemo-, and stereoselective transformations that employ these reactive intermediates. While the additions of aminyl, iminyl, and amidyl radicals to alkenes and alkynes have been well-studied, analogous additions to allenes are scarce. Allenes offer several attractive features, including potential for selective amidation at three distinct sites via judicious choice of precursor or radical source, the opportunity for axial-to-point chirality transfer, and productive trapping of vinyl or allyl radical intermediates to diversify functionality in the products. In this article, we report a regioselective addition of amidyl radicals to allenes to furnish an array of valuable N-heterocycle scaffolds.

Regioselective allene hydroarylation via one-pot allene hydrosilylation/Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling.

Project description:Advances in hydroarylation have been achieved by the development of a one-pot regioselective allene hydrosilylation/Pd(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling protocol. The regioselectivity is primarily governed by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand identity in the hydrosilylation step and is preserved in the subsequent cross-coupling reaction. This methodology affords streamlined access to functionalized 1,1-disubstituted alkenes with excellent regiocontrol.

Enantioselective radical conjugate additions driven by a photoactive intramolecular iminium-ion-based EDA complex.

Project description:The photochemical activity of electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes provides a way to generate radicals under mild conditions. This strategy has found application in chemical synthesis and recently in enantioselective catalysis. Reported methods classically relied on the formation of intermolecular EDA complexes, generated upon aggregation of two suitable reagents. Herein, we further expand the synthetic utility of this strategy demonstrating that an intramolecular EDA complex can trigger a photochemical catalytic enantioselective radical process. This approach enables radical conjugate additions to β-substituted cyclic enones to form quaternary carbon stereocenters with high stereocontrol using visible light irradiation. Crucial for success is the use of an amine catalyst, adorned with a carbazole moiety, which generates, upon condensation with enones, chiral iminium ions that show a broad absorption band in the visible region. This optical property originates from an intramolecular charge transfer π-π interaction between the electron-rich carbazole nucleus and the electron-deficient iminium double bond.

An unusual intramolecular <i>trans</i>-amidation.

Project description:Polyketide biosynthesis engages a series of well-timed biosynthetic operations to generate elaborate natural products from simple building blocks. Mimicry of these processes has offered practical means for total synthesis and provided a foundation for reaction discovery. We now report an unusual intramolecular trans-amidation reaction discovered while preparing stabilized probes for the study of actinorhodin biosynthesis. This rapid cyclization event offers insight into the natural cyclization process inherent to the biosynthesis of type II polyketide antibiotics.

Regioselective allene hydrosilylation catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of nickel and palladium.

Project description:Regioselective methods for allene hydrosilylation have been developed, with regioselectivity being governed primarily by the choice of metal. Alkenylsilanes are produced via nickel catalysis with larger N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands, and allylsilanes are produced via palladium catalysis with smaller NHC ligands. These complementary methods allow either regioisomeric product to be obtained with exceptional regiocontrol.

Regioselective intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition of azides and unsymmetrical alkynes.

Project description:Enantioenriched allenylsilanes are used in three-component propargylation reactions with aldehydes and silyl ethers to form syn-homopropargylic ethers that contain an imbedded azide. These materials then undergo thermally induced intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions, resulting in unique fused ring systems containing 1,2,3-triazoles. The ability to modify all three components of the reaction allows for expedient access to compounds containing significant structural and stereochemical variation.

Ligand-Mediated Regioselective Rhodium-Catalyzed Benzotriazole-Allene Coupling: Mechanistic Exploration and Quantum Chemical Analysis.

Project description:The ligand-controlled rhodium-catalyzed regioselective coupling of 1,2,3-benzotriazoles and allenes was investigated by DFT calculations. Because allylation can occur at either the N1 or N2 position of the 1,2,3-benzotriazole, the complete Gibbs free energy profiles for both pathways were computed. A kinetic preference emerged for the experimentally observed N1 allylation with the JoSPOphos ligand, whereas N2 allylation was favored with DPEphos. Analysis of the regiodetermining oxidative addition step by using the activation strain model in conjunction with a matching energy decomposition analysis has revealed that the unprecedented N2 reaction regioselectivity is dictated by the strength of the electrostatic interactions between the 1,2,3-benzotriazole and the rhodium catalyst. The nature of the electrostatic interaction was rationalized by analysis of the electrostatic potential maps and Hirshfeld charges: a stabilizing electrostatic interaction was found between the key atoms involved in the oxidative addition for the N2 pathway, analogous interactions are weaker in the N1 case.

A redox-enabled strategy for intramolecular hydroamination.

Project description:Metal- or acid-catalyzed intramolecular hydroamination and Cope-type intramolecular hydroamination, a distinct concerted approach using hydroxylamines, typically suffer from significant synthetic limitations. Herein we report a process for intramolecular hydroamination that uses a redox-enabled strategy relying on efficient in situ generation of hydroxylamines by oxidation, followed by Cope-type hydroamination, then reduction of the resulting pyrrolidine N-oxide. The steps are performed sequentially in a single pot, no catalyst is required, the conditions are mild, the process is highly functional group tolerant, and no chromatography is generally required for isolation. A robustness screen and a gram-scale example further support the practicality of this approach.

Enantioselective nickel-catalyzed arylative and alkenylative intramolecular 1,2-allylations of tethered allene-ketones.

Project description:The enantioselective nickel-catalyzed reaction of tethered allene-ketones with (hetero)arylboronic acids or potassium vinyltrifluoroborate is described. Carbonickelation of the allene gives allylnickel species, which undergo cyclization by 1,2-allylation to produce chiral tertiary-alcohol-containing aza- and carbocycles in high diastereo- and enantioselectivities.

Stereodivergent Intramolecular Cyclopropanation Enabled by Engineered Carbene Transferases.

Project description:We report the development of engineered myoglobin biocatalysts for executing asymmetric intramolecular cyclopropanations resulting in cyclopropane-fused γ-lactones, which are key motifs found in many bioactive molecules. Using this strategy, a broad range of allyl diazoacetate substrates were efficiently cyclized in high yields with up to 99% enantiomeric excess. Upon remodeling of the active site via protein engineering, myoglobin variants with stereodivergent selectivity were also obtained. In combination with whole-cell transformations, these biocatalysts enabled the gram-scale assembly of a key intermediate useful for the synthesis of the insecticide permethrin and other natural products. The enzymatically produced cyclopropyl-γ-lactones can be further elaborated to furnish a variety of enantiopure trisubstituted cyclopropanes. This work introduces a first example of biocatalytic intramolecular cyclopropanation and provides an attractive strategy for the stereodivergent preparation of fused cyclopropyl-γ-lactones of high value for medicinal chemistry and the synthesis of natural products.

Regioselective Arene C-H Alkylation Enabled by Organic Photoredox Catalysis.

Project description:Expanding the toolbox of C-H functionalization reactions applicable to the late-stage modification of complex molecules is of interest in medicinal chemistry, wherein the preparation of structural variants of known pharmacophores is a key strategy for drug development. One manifold for the functionalization of aromatic molecules utilizes diazo compounds and a transition-metal catalyst to generate a metallocarbene species, which is capable of direct insertion into an aromatic C-H bond. However, these high-energy intermediates can often require directing groups or a large excess of substrate to achieve efficient and selective reactivity. Herein, we report that arene cation radicals generated by organic photoredox catalysis engage in formal C-H functionalization reactions with diazoacetate derivatives, furnishing sp2 -sp3 coupled products with moderate-to-good regioselectivity. In contrast to previous methods utilizing metallocarbene intermediates, this transformation does not proceed via a carbene intermediate, nor does it require the presence of a transition-metal catalyst.
