Chemo-selective cross reaction of two enals via carbene-catalyzed dual activation.

ABSTRACT: A dual catalytic chemo-selective cross-coupling reaction of two enals is developed. One enal (without α-substitution) is activated by an NHC catalyst to form an acylazolium enolate intermediate that undergoes Michael-type addition to another enal molecule bearing an alkynyl substituent. Mechanistic studies indicate that non-covalent interactions between the alkynyl enal and the NHC·HX catalyst play important roles in substrate activation and enantioselectivity control. Many of the possible side reactions are not observed. Our reaction provides highly chemo- and diastereo-selective access to chiral lactones containing functionalizable 1,3-enyn units with excellent enantioselectivities (95 to >99% ee).

Carbene-catalyzed enantioselective oxidative coupling of enals and di(hetero)arylmethanes.

Project description:Di(hetero)arylmethane is a unique structural motif for natural and synthetic functional molecules. To date, it remains challenging to functionalize the diaryl methyl sp3 carbon-hydrogen bond directly in an enantioselective manner. This is likely due to the relatively inert nature of the carbon-hydrogen bond and the difficult enantiofacial discrimination of two sterically similar aryl substituents. Here we disclose an N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed direct oxidative coupling of enals and di(hetero)arylmethanes. Our method allows for highly enantioselective transformation of diaryl methanes and quick access to benzimidazole fused lactams.

N-Heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed oxidative [3 + 2] annulation of dioxindoles and enals: cross coupling of homoenolate and enolate.

Project description:The N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed oxidative [3 + 2] annulation of dioxindole and enals was developed, giving the corresponding spirocyclic oxindole-?-lactones in good yields with high to excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The challenging aliphatic enals worked effectively using this strategy. The oxidative cross coupling of homoenolate and enolate via single electron transfer was proposed as the key step for the reaction.

Enantioselective N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed ?-hydroxylation of enals using nitroarenes: an atom transfer reaction that proceeds via single electron transfer.

Project description:A novel oxidative N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed reaction pathway has been discovered. Alkyl and aryl enals undergo ?-hydroxylation via oxygen atom transfer from electron-deficient nitrobenzenes, followed by trapping of the resultant acyl azolium by the solvent. The proposed mechanism involves a single electron transfer event to initiate the reaction followed by radical recombination. This represents a profound mechanistic departure from the established two-electron disconnects in NHC catalysis.

A dual Lewis base activation strategy for enantioselective carbene-catalyzed annulations.

Project description:A dual activation strategy integrating N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis and a second Lewis base has been developed. NHC-bound homoenolate equivalents derived from α,β-unsaturated aldehydes combine with transient reactive o-quinone methides in an enantioselective formal [4 + 3] fashion to access 2-benzoxopinones. The overall approach provides a general blueprint for the integration of carbene catalysis with additional Lewis base activation modes.

Carbene catalyzed umpolung of ?,?-enals: a reactivity study of diamino dienols <i>vs.</i> azolium enolates, and the characterization of advanced reaction intermediates.

Project description:Since their discovery by Bode and Glorius in 2004, N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed conjugate umpolung reactions of ?,?-enals have been postulated to involve the formation of diamino dienols ("homoenolates") and/or azolium enolates ("enolates"), typically followed by addition to electrophiles, e.g. Michael-acceptors. In this article, we provide evidence, for the first time, for the postulated individual and specific reactivity patterns of diamino dienols (?-C-C-bond formation) vs. azolium enolates (?-C-C-bond formation). Our study is based on the pre-formation of well defined diamino dienols and azolium enolates, and the in situ NMR monitoring of their reactivities towards enone electrophiles. Additionally, reaction intermediates were isolated and characterized, inter alia by X-ray crystallography.

N-Heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed direct cross-aza-benzoin reaction: Efficient synthesis of ?-amino-?-keto esters.

Project description:An efficient catalytic synthesis of ?-amino-?-keto esters has been newly developed. Cross-coupling of various aldehydes with ?-imino ester, catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbene, leads chemoselectively to ?-amino-?-keto esters in moderate to good yields with high atom efficiency. The reaction mechanism is discussed, and it is proposed that the ?-amino-?-keto esters are formed under thermodynamic control.

Theoretical study on the mechanism, chemo- and enantioselectivity of the Ag- <i>vs.</i> Rh-catalyzed intramolecular carbene transfer reaction of diazoacetamides.

Project description:To explore the mechanism of silver and rhodium catalysis and reveal the origin of the chemo- and enantioselectivity of the reaction, density functional theory calculations were performed on the first silver-catalyzed highly enantioselective carbene transfer reaction. The calculation results reveal that when silver is used as a catalyst, due to the participation of the phosphate anion in the transition state, the enhanced nucleophilicity of the α-diazoacetamide unit promotes smooth dearomatization before generation of the silver carbene. Because the generated rhodium carbene has stronger electrophilicity, typical carbene reactions (C-H insertion and the Büchner reaction) are favored. In addition, in the process of silver catalyzed dearomatization, the formation of an R-type transition state is determined by the small torsion energy and strong interaction energy.

Chiral N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Annulations of Enals and Ynals with Stable Enols: A Highly Enantioselective Coates-Claisen Rearrangement.

Project description:A combination of a chiral N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst and α,β-unsaturated aldehyde leads to a catalytically generated α,β-unsaturated acyl azolium, which participates in a highly enantioselective annulation to give dihydropyranone products. This full account of our investigations into the scope and mechanism of this reaction reveals the critical role of both the type and substitution pattern of the chiral triazolium precatalyst in inducing and controlling the stereochemistry. In an effort to explain why stable enols such as naphthol, kojic acid, and dicarbonyl are uniquely efficient, we have postulated that this annulation occurs via a Coates-Claisen rearrangement that invokes the formation of a hemiacetal prior to a sigmatropic rearrangement. Detailed kinetic investigations of the catalytic annulation are consistent with this mechanistic postulate.

Gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization of 1,5-allenynes via dual activation of an ene reaction.

Project description:Tris(triphenylphosphinegold) oxonium tetrafluoroborate, [(Ph3PAu)3O]BF4, catalyzes the rearrangement of 1,5-allenynes to produce cross-conjugated trienes. Experimental and computational evidence shows that the ene reaction proceeds through a unique nucleophilic addition of an allene double bond to a cationic phosphinegold(I)-complexed phosphinegold(I) acetylide, followed by a 1,5-hydrogen shift.
