Lewis Acid Promoted Dearomatization of Naphthols.

ABSTRACT: Two-step dearomative functionalization of naphthols promoted by Lewis acids and copper(I) catalysis was developed. Initially, Lewis acid complexation inverted the electronic properties of the ring and established an equilibrium with the dearomatized counterpart. Subsequent trapping of the dearomatized intermediate with organometallics as well as organophosphines was demonstrated and provided the corresponding dearomatized products.

Organocatalytic asymmetric chlorinative dearomatization of naphthols.

Project description:An organocatalytic asymmetric chlorinative dearomatization of naphthols was realized for the first time, providing chiral naphthalenones with a Cl-containing all-substituted stereocenter in excellent yields and enantioselectivity (up to 97% yield and 96% ee). The reaction features mild reaction conditions, good tolerance of diverse functional groups and simple reaction operation.

Chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed aminative dearomatization of α-naphthols/Michael addition sequence.

Project description:Asymmetric dearomatization reactions have recently emerged as a powerful tool for the rapid build-up of the molecular complexity. Chiral three-dimensional polycyclic molecules bearing contiguous stereogenic centers can be synthesized from readily available planar aromatic feedstocks. Here we report that an intermolecular asymmetric dearomatization reaction of α-naphthols bearing a tethered nucleophile at the C4 position of the naphthol ring is achieved by a chiral phosphoric acid. The reaction proceeds via a highly chemo- and regioselective aminative dearomatization/Michael addition sequence, affording a wide array of functionalized cyclic ketones in good yields (up to 93%) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee). The catalyst loading can be reduced to 0.1 mol%. Preliminary mechanistic investigations identify that the enantioselectivity is established in the dearomatization step, while the Michael addition is the rate-limiting step. A working model accounting for the origin of the stereochemistry is proposed based on DFT calculations.

A Lewis acid-promoted Pinner reaction.

Project description:Carbonitriles and alcohols react in a Lewis acid-promoted Pinner reaction to carboxylic esters. Best results are obtained with two equivalents of trimethylsilyl triflate as Lewis acid. Good yields are achieved with primary alcohols and aliphatic or benzylic carbonitriles, but the straightforward synthesis of acrylates and benzoates starting with acrylonitrile and benzonitrile, respectively, is similarly possible. Phenols are not acylated under these reaction conditions. The method has been used for the first total synthesis of the natural product monaspilosin. In the reaction of benzyl alcohols variable amounts of amides are formed in a Ritter-type side reaction.

Catalytic asymmetric hydroxylative dearomatization of 2-naphthols: synthesis of lacinilene derivatives.

Project description:An enantioselective hydroxylative dearomatization of 2-naphthols with oxaziridines has been accomplished using a N,N'-dioxide-scandium(iii) complex catalyst. Various substituted ortho-quinols could be obtained in high yields (up to 99%) and enantioselectivities (up to 95 : 5 er). This methodology could be applied in the synthesis of bioactive lacinilenes in a gram-scale reaction. Based on the experimental investigations and previous work, a possible catalytic model was proposed.

Lewis Acid-Promoted Enantioselective Dearomative Spirocyclizations of Allenes.

Project description:A chiral oxazaborolidine combined with SnCl4 has been found to promote the dearomative spirocyclization of electron-rich benzyl allenyl ketones. The reaction outcome is sensitive to the nature of activating acid, which was rationalized using hard-soft acid-base (HSAB) theory. The spirocyclic product was obtained with up to 72% ee, which is the best result reported to date for these substrates. The formation of cross-conjugated or conjugated products is readily controlled by changing the oxygen-protecting groups.

Lewis acid-promoted direct synthesis of isoxazole derivatives.

Project description:Isoxazole derivatives were synthesized via a one-pot method utilizing 2-methylquinoline derivatives as template substrates, sodium nitrite as a nitrogen-oxygen source, and solely using aluminum trichloride as the additive. This approach circumvents the need for costly or highly toxic transition metals and presents a novel pathway for the synthesis of isoxazole derivatives.

Vinylazaarenes as dienophiles in Lewis acid-promoted Diels-Alder reactions.

Project description:Described are the first examples of Lewis acid-promoted Diels-Alder reactions of vinylpyridines and other vinylazaarenes with unactivated dienes. Cyclohexyl-appended azaarenes constitute a class of substructures of rising prominence in drug discovery. Despite this, thermal variants of the vinylazaarene Diels-Alder reaction are rare and have not been adopted for synthesis, and Lewis acid-promoted variants are virtually unexplored. The presented work addresses this gap and in the process furnishes increased scope, dramatically higher yields, improved regioselectivity, and high levels of diastereoselectivity compared to prior thermal examples. These reactions provide scalable access to druglike scaffolds not readily available through other methods. More broadly, these studies establish a useful new class of dienophiles that, based on preliminary mechanistic studies, should be amenable to conventional strategies for enantioselective catalysis.

Lewis acid-promoted Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions with alpha-ketophosphate electrophiles.

Project description:The BF(3).OEt(2)-promoted nucleophilic substitution of alpha-aryl-alpha-ketophosphates to afford alpha,alpha-diaryl ketone products is described. Electron-rich alpha-ketophosphates perform best, with electron-neutral and electron-poor substrates also tolerated. The reaction is tolerant of a range of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and nonaromatic nucleophiles, with yields ranging from 44% to 84%. Enantioenriched starting material yields racemic product, suggesting an S(N)1 pathway via an acylcarbenium ion.

The utility of products is demonstrated towards the synthesis of a common scaffold found in several natural product families.
