Straightforward Access to Thiocyanates via Dealkylative Cyanation of Sulfoxides.

ABSTRACT: Thiocyanates, versatile building blocks in organic synthesis, are shown to be easily accessible via an interrupted Pummerer reaction of sulfoxides. This facile dealkylative functionalization proceeds under mild conditions through electrophilic activation of the sulfoxide partner. The resulting thiocyanate itself can serve as a handle for diversification in a straightforward one-pot procedure.

Direct Access to Versatile Electrophiles via Catalytic Oxidative Cyanation of Alkenes.

Project description:Nucleophilic attack on carbon-based electrophiles is a central reactivity paradigm in chemistry and biology. The steric and electronic properties of the electrophile dictate its reactivity with different nucleophiles of interest, allowing the opportunity to fine-tune electrophiles for use as coupling partners in multistep organic synthesis or for covalent modification of proteins in drug discovery. Reactions that directly transform inexpensive chemical feedstocks into versatile carbon electrophiles would therefore be highly enabling. Herein, we report the catalytic, regioselective oxidative cyanation of conjugated and nonconjugated alkenes using a homogeneous copper catalyst and a bystanding N-F oxidant to furnish branched alkenyl nitriles that are difficult to prepare using existing methods. We show that the alkenyl nitrile products serve as electrophilic reaction partners for both organic synthesis and the chemical proteomic discovery of covalent protein ligands.

A Straightforward Access to New Families of Lipophilic Polyphenols by Using Lipolytic Bacteria.

Project description:The chemical synthesis of new lipophilic polyphenols with improved properties presents technical difficulties. Here we describe the selection, isolation and identification of lipolytic bacteria from food-processing industrial wastes, and their use for tailoring a new set of compounds with great interest in the food industry. These bacteria were employed to produce lipolytic supernatants, which were applied without further purification as biocatalysts in the chemoselective and regioselective synthesis of lipophilic partially acetylated phenolic compounds derived from olive polyphenols. The chemoselectivity of polyphenols acylation/deacylation was analyzed, revealing the preference of the lipases for phenolic hydroxyl groups and phenolic esters. In addition, the alcoholysis of peracetylated 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol resulted in a series of lipophilic 2-alkoxy-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl acetate through an unexpected lipase-mediated etherification at the benzylic position. These new compounds are more lipophilic and retained their antioxidant properties. This approach can provide access to unprecedented derivatives of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol with improved properties.

Asymmetric cyanation of imines via dipeptide-derived organophosphine dual-reagent catalysis.

Project description:Over the past few decades, enantioselective phosphine organocatalysis has evolved rapidly into a highly efficient catalytic strategy for a range of useful reactions. However, as restricted by the traditional catalytic modes, some important reactions, such as asymmetric Strecker-type reactions, have thus far been out of reach of this strategy. Reported herein is an application of enantioselective phosphine organocatalysis for asymmetric Strecker-type reactions, enabled by a dual-reagent catalyst system in which the key organophosphorus zwitterion intermediate, generated in situ by mixing a chiral dipeptide-derived multifunctional organophosphine with methyl acrylate, is used as a highly efficient chiral Lewis base catalyst. The high efficiency of this catalytic system is demonstrated in the asymmetric cyanation of isatin-derived ketimines and azomethine aldimines as well as in the kinetic resolution of racemic 3-substituted azomethines. Mechanistic studies provide experimental evidence for the intermediacy of the putative zwitterion and its role as a catalytically active Lewis base.

Direct C-H Cyanation of Arenes via Organic Photoredox Catalysis.

Project description:Methods for the direct C-H functionalization of aromatic compounds are in demand for a variety of applications, including the synthesis of agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and materials. Herein, we disclose the construction of aromatic nitriles via direct C-H functionalization using an acridinium photoredox catalyst and trimethylsilyl cyanide under an aerobic atmosphere. The reaction proceeds at room temperature under mild conditions and has proven to be compatible with a variety of electron-donating and -withdrawing groups, halogens, and nitrogen- and oxygen-containing heterocycles, as well as aromatic-containing pharmaceutical agents.

Palladium-Catalyzed, Enantioselective Formal Cycloaddition between Benzyltriflamides and Allenes: Straightforward Access to Enantioenriched Isoquinolines.

Project description:Benzyl and allyltriflamides can engage in Pd-catalyzed oxidative (4+2) annulations with allenes, to produce highly valuable tetrahydroisoquinoline or dihydropyridine skeletons. The reaction is especially efficient when carried out in the presence of designed N-protected amino acids as metal ligands. More importantly, using this type of chiral ligands, it is possible to perform desymmetrizing, annulative C-H activations of prochiral diarylmethylphenyl amides, and thus obtain the corresponding isoquinolines with high enantiomeric ratios.

A Straightforward Synthesis of Polyketides via Ester Dienolate Matteson Homologation.

Project description:Application of ester dienolates as nucleophiles in Matteson homologations allows for the stereoselective synthesis of highly substituted ?,?-unsaturated ?-hydroxy carboxyl acids, structural motifs widespread found in polyketide natural products. The protocol is rather flexible and permits the introduction of substituents and functionalities also at those positions which are not accessible by the commonly used aldol reaction. Therefore, this ester dienolate Matteson approach is an interesting alternative to the "classical" polyketide syntheses.

Enantioselective cyanation of benzylic C-H bonds via copper-catalyzed radical relay.

Project description:Direct methods for stereoselective functionalization of sp3-hybridized carbon-hydrogen [C(sp3)-H] bonds in complex organic molecules could facilitate much more efficient preparation of therapeutics and agrochemicals. Here, we report a copper-catalyzed radical relay pathway for enantioselective conversion of benzylic C-H bonds into benzylic nitriles. Hydrogen-atom abstraction affords an achiral benzylic radical that undergoes asymmetric C(sp3)-CN bond formation upon reaction with a chiral copper catalyst. The reactions proceed efficiently at room temperature with the benzylic substrate as limiting reagent, exhibit broad substrate scope with high enantioselectivity (typically 90 to 99% enantiomeric excess), and afford products that are key precursors to important bioactive molecules. Mechanistic studies provide evidence for diffusible organic radicals and highlight the difference between these reactions and C-H oxidations mediated by enzymes and other catalysts that operate via radical rebound pathways.

Chiral piperidines from acyclic amines via enantioselective, radical-mediated δ C-H cyanation.

Project description:Piperidines are the most prevalent heterocycle found in medicines. Yet, while they are often chiral, there remain no robust methods for their asymmetric syntheses. To solve this challenge, we have interrupted the century-old Hofmann-Löffler-Freytag (HLF) reaction to afford this privileged heterocycle. The catalytic, regio- and enantio- selective δ C-H cyanation of acyclic amines described herein, incorporates a carbonyl equivalent selectively at the δ position. This δ C-H cyanation is enabled by a chiral Cu catalyst, which both initiates and terminates intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) by an N-centered radical relay mechanism. The broad scope and utility of this highly enantioselective method for δ C-C formation is presented, as well as conversion of the resulting enantioenriched δ amino nitriles to a family of chiral piperidines. Experiments probing the chemo-, regio-, and enantio- selectivity of this HAT mechanism are also included to enable extension to other stereoselective δ C-H functionalizations.

Straightforward access to mono- and bis-cycloplatinated helicenes that display circularly polarized phosphorescence using crystallization resolution methods.

Project description:Enantiopure mono-cycloplatinated-[8]helicene and bis-cycloplatinated-[6]helicene derivatives were prepared through column chromatography combined with crystallization of diastereomeric complexes using a chiral ancillary sulfoxide ligand. The UV-visible spectra, circular dichroism, molar rotations, and (circularly polarized) luminescence activity of these new helical complexes have been examined in detail and analysed with the help of first-principles quantum-chemical calculations.

SET activation of nitroarenes by 2-azaallyl anions as a straightforward access to 2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazoles.

Project description:The use of nitroarenes as amino sources in synthesis is challenging. Herein is reported an unusual, straightforward, and transition metal-free method for the net [3 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction of 2-azaallyl anions with nitroarenes. The products of this reaction are diverse 2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazoles (>40 examples, up to 95% yield). This method does not require an external reductant to reduce nitroarenes, nor does it employ nitrosoarenes, which are often used in N-O cycloadditions. Instead, it is proposed that the 2-azaallyl anions, which behave as super electron donors (SEDs), deliver an electron to the nitroarene to generate a nitroarene radical anion. A downstream 2-azaallyl radical coupling with a newly formed nitrosoarene is followed by ring closure to afford the observed products. This proposed reaction pathway is supported by computational studies and experimental evidence. Overall, this method uses readily available materials, is green, and exhibits a broad scope.
