Benzannulation of isobenzopyryliums with electron-rich alkynes: a modular access to β-functionalized naphthalenes.

ABSTRACT: Described here is a modular strategy for the rapid synthesis of β-functionalized electron-rich naphthalenes, a family of valuable molecules lacking general access previously. Our approach employs an intermolecular benzannulation of in situ generated isobenzopyrylium ions with various electron-rich alkynes, which were not well utilized for this type of reaction before. These reactions not only feature a broad scope, complete regioselectivity, and mild conditions, but also exhibit unusual product divergence depending on the substrate substitution pattern. This divergence allows further expansion of the product diversity. Control experiments provided preliminary insights into the reaction mechanism.

Gold-catalyzed double migration-benzannulation cascade toward naphthalenes.

Project description:A novel gold(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of propargylic esters leading to unsymmetrically substituted naphthalenes has been developed. This cascade reaction involves an unprecedented tandem sequence of 1,3- and 1,2-migration of two different migrating groups. It is believed that this transformation likely proceeds via the formation of 1,3-diene intermediate or its precursor, which upon cyclization and aromatization steps transforms into the naphthalene core.

Synthesis of Naphthaleman Family Utilizing Regiocontrolled Benzannulation: Unique Molecules Composed of Multisubstituted Naphthalenes.

Project description:The naphthaleman family, a set of uniquely designed visual molecular structures comprising multisubstituted naphthalenes, was synthesized utilizing regiocontrolled benzannulation as a key step. The naphthaleman family possesses a common naphthalene body with a head comprising the 3,4-methylenedioxy group, symmetrical or unsymmetrical right and left arms, and two alkynyl legs. The synthesis involves six C-C bond-forming reaction sequences. (i) syn-Stereoselective gem-dichlorocyclopropanation of methyl angelate (86%). (ii) Acylation with ArMgBr (three examples, 60-91% yield). (iii) Stereocontrolled introduction of the 3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl group (three examples, 67-92% yield). (iv) Crucial regiocontrolled benzannulation to construct a common body segment (71-73% yield). (v) Two Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings to install the right or left arms (first-stage route: four examples, 77-93% and second-stage route: four examples, 42-90% yield). (vi) Double alkynylation to insert two legs (first-stage route: four examples, 61-77% yield and second-stage route: sole example, 83% yield). The four core members were produced through both first-stage and second-stage routes, with the second-stage approach demonstrating superiority over the first-stage approach. One of the members was alternatively synthesized by switching the installation order of the right and left arms, and identical twin members were produced by high-performance liquid chromatography chiral separation. The most stable conformations of two naphthaleman family members were calculated by Spartan software.

Pyridinylidenaminophosphines: Facile Access to Highly Electron-Rich Phosphines.

Project description:Electron-rich tertiary phosphines are valuable species in chemical synthesis. However, their broad application as ligands in catalysis and reagents in stoichiometric reactions is often limited by their costly synthesis. Herein, we report the synthesis and properties of a series of phosphines with 1-alkylpyridin-4-ylidenamino and 1-alkylpyridin-2-ylidenamino substituents that are accessible in a very short and scalable route starting from commercially available aminopyridines and chlorophosphines. The determination of the Tolman electronic parameter (TEP) value reveals that the electron donor ability can be tuned by the substituent pattern at the aminopyridine backbone and it can exceed that of common alkylphosphines and N-heterocyclic carbenes. The potential of the new phosphines as strong nucleophiles in phosphine-mediated transformations is demonstrated by the formation of Lewis base adducts with CO2 and CS2 . In addition, the coordination chemistry of the new phosphines towards CuI , AuI , and PdII metal centers has been explored, and a convenient procedure to introduce the most basic phosphine into metal complexes starting from air-stable phosphonium salt is described.

Extremely Electron-Rich, Boron-Functionalized, Icosahedral Carborane-Based Phosphinoboranes.

Project description:We have prepared the first examples of B9-connected trivalent aryl and alkyl phosphinoborane species via Pd-catalyzed phosphination of 9-iodo-meta-carborane. Our studies highlight the unique electronic features of the B9-connected meta-carboranyl moiety as compared to its C1-based analogue. This work suggests that the B9-functionalized meta-carboranyl substituent in these ligands exhibits more electron-releasing character than any other known carbon-based substituent, ultimately laying the foundation for a new class of phosphine ligands with extremely electron-rich character.

Direct Electrooxidative Selenylation/Cyclization of Alkynes: Access to Functionalized Benzo[b]furans.

Project description:A mild, practical, metal and oxidant-free methodology for the synthesis of various C-3 selenylated benzo[b]furan derivatives was developed through the intramolecular cyclization of alkynes promoted with diselenides via electrooxidation. A wide range of selenium-substituted benzo[b]furan derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields with high regioselectivity under constant current in an undivided cell equipped with carbon and platinum plates as the anode and cathode, respectively. Moreover, the convergent approach exhibited good functional group tolerance and could be easily scaled up with good efficiency, providing rapid access to a diverse range of selenylated benzo[b]furans derivatives from simple, readily available starting materials.

Synthesis of naphthalenes and 2-naphthols by the electrophilic cyclization of alkynes.

Project description:[reactions: see text] A wide variety of substituted naphthalenes are readily prepared regioselectively under mild reaction conditions by the 6-endo-dig electrophilic cyclization of appropriate arene-containing propargylic alcohols by ICl, I2, Br2, NBS, and PhSeBr. 3-Iodo-2-naphthols have also been prepared in excellent yields by the cyclization of analogous 1-aryl-3-alkyn-2-ones. This methodology readily accommodates various functional groups and has been successfully extended to the synthesis of substituted carbazoles and dibenzothiophenes.

Modular access to functionalized 5-8-5 fused ring systems via a photoinduced cycloisomerization reaction.

Project description:A 5-8-5 carbocyclic ring system forms the core of over 30 distinct natural products. Several members of this family have gained attention for their diverse activity in cell culture. In these cases, biological function is mediated by the arrangement of substituents around a conserved 5-8-5 nucleus. Despite the potential applications of this privileged substructure in medicinal chemistry, modular strategies for its assembly are underdeveloped. Herein, we describe a cycloisomerization reaction that forms the 5-8-5 framework directly. This strategy uniquely allows access to gram quantities of this valuable scaffold in four steps.

1,2,5,6-Tetrakis(guanidino)-Naphthalenes: Electron Donors, Fluorescent Probes and Redox-Active Ligands.

Project description:New redox-active 1,2,5,6-tetrakis(guanidino)-naphthalene compounds, isolable and storable in the neutral and deep-green dicationic redox states and oxidisable further in two one-electron steps to the tetracations, are reported. Protonation switches on blue fluorescence, with the fluorescence intensity (quantum yield) increasing with the degree of protonation. Reactions with N-halogenosuccinimides or N-halogenophthalimides led to a series of new redox-active halogeno- and succinimido-/phthalimido-substituted derivatives. These highly selective reactions are proposed to proceed via the tri- or tetracationic state as the intermediate. The derivatives are oxidised reversibly at slightly higher potentials than that of the unsubstituted compounds to dications and further to tri- and tetracations. The integration of redox-active ligands in the transition-metal complexes shifts the redox potentials to higher values and also allows reversible oxidation in two potentially separated one-electron steps.

Gold-Catalyzed Hydrofluorination of Electron-Deficient Alkynes: Stereoselective Synthesis of β-Fluoro Michael Acceptors.

Project description:The gold(I)-catalyzed, stereoselective hydrofluorination of electron-deficient alkynes with triethylamine trihydrogen fluoride (Et3N·3HF) is described. Fluorinated α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, amides, esters, ketones, and nitriles were isolated in moderate to good yields as single diastereomers. In all but four cases, the (Z)-vinyl fluorides were initially formed in ≥97% diastereoselectivity. This work constitutes the first catalytic example of the diastereoselective preparation of a variety of β-alkyl, β-fluoro Michael acceptors from alkynes. Additionally, the described work expands access to β-aryl, β-fluoro Michael acceptors to the synthesis of β-fluoro-α,β-unsaturated amides and nitriles. The monofluoroalkenes formed through this strategy were readily transformed into other fluorine-containing compounds, and the developed method was applied to the synthesis of a fluorinated analogue of Exoderil, a topical antimycotic.

Modular radical cross-coupling with sulfones enables access to sp3-rich (fluoro)alkylated scaffolds.

Project description:Cross-coupling chemistry is widely applied to carbon-carbon bond formation in the synthesis of medicines, agrochemicals, and other functional materials. Recently, single-electron-induced variants of this reaction class have proven particularly useful in the formation of C(sp2)-C(sp3) linkages, although certain compound classes have remained a challenge. Here, we report the use of sulfones to activate the alkyl coupling partner in nickel-catalyzed radical cross-coupling with aryl zinc reagents. This method's tolerance of fluoroalkyl substituents proved particularly advantageous for the streamlined preparation of pharmaceutically oriented fluorinated scaffolds that previously required multiple steps, toxic reagents, and nonmodular retrosynthetic blueprints. Five specific sulfone reagents facilitate the rapid assembly of a vast set of compounds, many of which contain challenging fluorination patterns.
