Chiral cis-iron(ii) complexes with metal- and ligand-centered chirality for highly regio- and enantioselective alkylation of N-heteroaromatics.

ABSTRACT: Iron-catalyzed highly regio- and enantioselective organic transformations with generality and broad substrate scope have profound applications in modern synthetic chemistry; an example is herein described based on cis-Fe^II complexes having metal- and ligand-centered chirality. The cis-β Fe^II(N₄) complex [Fe^II(L)(OTf)₂] (L = N,N'-bis(2,3-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta-[b]quinoline-5-yl)-N,N'-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine) is an effective chiral catalyst for highly regio- and enantioselective alkylation of N-heteroaromatics with α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles, including asymmetric N1, C2, C3 alkylations of a broad range of indoles (34 examples) and alkylation of pyrroles and anilines (14 examples), all with high product yields (up to 98%), high enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee) and high regioselectivity. DFT calculations revealed that the "chiral-at-metal" cis-β configuration of the iron complex and a secondary π-π interaction are responsible for the high enantioselectivity.

Regio- and enantioselective catalytic monoepoxidation of conjugated dienes: synthesis of chiral allylic cis-epoxides.

Project description:Ti(IV)-salan 4 catalyzes the diastereo- and enantioselective monoepoxidation of conjugated dienes using 30% H2O2 at rt or below even in the presence of other olefins and adjacent stereocenters. Its enantiomer, ent-4, provides access to the opposite diastereomer or enantiomer. The resultant chiral allylic epoxides, and the triols derived from them, are versatile synthetic intermediates as well as substructures present in many bioactive natural products. The epoxidation is highly specific for Z-olefins. For 1-acyl(silyl)oxypenta-2,4-dienes, epoxidation of the distal olefin is generally favored in contrast to the adjacent regioselectivity characteristic of Sharpless, peracid, and other directed epoxidations of hydroxylated dienes.

Mo-catalyzed regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective allylic alkylation of 3-aryloxindoles.

Project description:A highly regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective allylic alkylation reaction mediated by a chiral molybdenum catalyst has been developed as a novel entry into synthetically versatile 3-alkyl-3-aryloxindoles. Extremely bulky nucleophiles were employed to form a quaternary center and an adjacent tertiary center asymmetrically concurrently. The regio- and diastereoselectivity of the reaction is dependent upon the steric and electronic nature of the nucleophiles to an unusual degree. A reaction mechanism based on the bonding modes of molybdenum enolate complexes was discussed.

Ligand controlled highly regio- and enantioselective synthesis of alpha-acyloxyketones by palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of 1,2-enediol carbonates.

Project description:The palladium catalyzed decarboxylative asymmetric allylic alkylation of allyl 1,2-enediol carbonates 1 can decompose to either alpha-hydroxyketones 3 or alpha-hydroxyaldehydes 4. The product distribution is largely controlled by the ligand. Using Lnaph in DME we exclusively obtained the ketone product in good to excellent yields and high enantiomeric excesses. The reaction proceeds under extremely mild conditions, so we can have a broad range of choices of OR. Besides the commonly used protection groups such as OAc and OPiv, a more functionalized group such as methyl but-2-enoyl group can also be used, downstream process of which can afford other synthetically interesting structures.

Regio- and enantioselective remote hydroarylation using a ligand-relay strategy.

Project description:The design of a single complicated chiral ligand to well-promote each step of an asymmetric cascade reaction is sometimes a formidable challenge in transition metal catalysis. In this work, a highly regio- and enantioselective Ni-catalysed migratory hydroarylation relay process has been achieved with the combination of two simple ligands, one which accomplishes chain-walking and the other causing asymmetric arylation. This formal asymmetric C(sp3)-H arylation provides direct access to a wide range of structurally diverse chiral 1,1-diarylalkanes, a structural unit found in a number of bioactive molecules. The value of this strategy was further demonstrated by the Ni-catalysed migratory asymmetric 1,3-arylboration.

Enantioselective epoxidation of nonconjugated cis-olefins by chiral dioxirane.

Project description:A variety of nonconjugated cis-olefins has been enantioselectively epoxidized with chiral ketones 2, and up to 92% ee has been obtained. The two prochiral faces of an olefin are likely stereodifferentiated by the relative hydrophobicity of the olefin substituents and/or allylic oxygen functionality.

Access to P-chiral phosphine oxides by enantioselective allylic alkylation of bisphenols.

Project description:A novel biscinchona alkaloid-catalyzed highly enantioselective desymmetrization reaction of bisphenol compounds with achiral Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonate agents was developed. Through the asymmetric allylic alkylation strategy, a broad range of optically active P-stereogenic phosphine oxides were generated with excellent to good yields (up to 99%) and high enantioselectivities (up to 98.5 : 1.5 e.r.). The reaction was further investigated by the linear free energy relationship (LFER) analysis. A possible transition state was proposed and furthered verified by theoretical calculations.

Enantioselective remote meta-C-H arylation and alkylation via a chiral transient mediator.

Project description:Enantioselective carbon-hydrogen (C-H) activation reactions by asymmetric metallation could provide new routes for the construction of chiral molecules1,2. However, current methods are typically limited to the formation of five- or six-membered metallacycles, thereby preventing the asymmetric functionalization of C-H bonds at positions remote to existing functional groups. Here we report enantioselective remote C-H activation using a catalytic amount of a chiral norbornene as a transient mediator, which relays initial ortho-C-H activation to the meta position. This was used in the enantioselective meta-C-H arylation of benzylamines, as well as the arylation and alkylation of homobenzylamines. The enantioselectivities obtained using the chiral transient mediator are comparable across different classes of substrates containing either neutral ?-donor or anionic coordinating groups. This relay strategy could provide an alternative means to remote chiral induction, one of the most challenging problems in asymmetric catalysis3,4.

CuH-Catalyzed Enantioselective Alkylation of Indole Derivatives with Ligand-Controlled Regiodivergence.

Project description:Enantioenriched molecules bearing indole-substituted stereocenters form a class of privileged compounds in biological, medicinal, and organic chemistry. Thus, the development of methods for asymmetric indole alkylation is highly valuable in organic synthesis. Traditionally, achieving N-selectivity in indole alkylation reactions is a significant challenge, since there is an intrinsic preference for alkylation at C3, the most nucleophilic position. Furthermore, selective and predictable access to either N- or C3-alkylated chiral indoles using catalyst control has been a long-standing goal in indole functionalization. Herein, we report a ligand-controlled regiodivergent synthesis of N- and C3-alkylated chiral indoles that relies on a polarity reversal strategy. In contrast to conventional alkylation reactions in which indoles are employed as nucleophiles, this transformation employs electrophilic indole derivatives, N-(benzoyloxy)indoles, as coupling partners. N- or C3-alkylated indoles are prepared with high levels of regio- and enantioselectivity using a copper hydride catalyst. The regioselectivity is governed by the use of either DTBM-SEGPHOS or Ph-BPE as the supporting ligand. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are conducted to elucidate the origin of the ligand-controlled regiodivergence.

Highly enantioselective photo-polymerization enhanced by chiral nanoparticles and in situ photopatterning of chirality.

Project description:Chiral noble metal nanoparticles has recently gained great interest due to their potential applications including ultrasensitive chiral recognition and asymmetric synthesis. We anticipate that they could be utilized to induce asymmetric photo-polymerization reactions with high enantioselectivity and reactivity. Here, we report such a system. By employing silver nanoparticles modified with cysteine as the chiral inducer, polydiacetylene (PDA) with high chiral asymmetry was obtained from achiral diacetylene monomers triggered with unpolarized UV light. Furthermore, the helical sense of chirality can be controlled by varying the wavelength of UV irradiation. This enables a feasible and economical method to fabricate programmable 2D patterns of chiral PDA with tailored chirality distributions, such as smooth gradients in chirality and micropatterns with tailorable circularly polarized luminescence. Our finding not only opens a pathway for producing programmable chiroptical micropatterns, but also is highly valuable for deeper understanding of symmetry breaking in enantioselective photochemical reactions.

Regio- and Enantioselective <i>N</i>-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Annulation of Aminoindoles Initiated by Friedel-Crafts Alkylation.

Project description:Chiral indoles annulated on the benzene ring are unique and significant in natural and medicinal compounds. However, accessing these enantioenriched molecules has often been overlooked. The present study introduces an organocatalytic protocol to access these compounds efficiently, demonstrated by substrate scope, functional group tolerance, and using only 1 mol % of a chiral conjugated acid catalyst. Additionally, the study explores regioselectivity, gram-scale reactions, and follow-up transformations, underscoring the method's potential.
