Catalytic Hydroxycyclopropanol Ring-Opening Carbonylative Lactonization to Fused Bicyclic Lactones.

ABSTRACT: A novel palladium-catalyzed ring opening carbonylative lactonization of readily available hydroxycyclopropanols was developed to efficiently synthesize tetrahydrofuran (THF) or tetrahydropyran (THP)-fused bicyclic γ-lactones, two privileged scaffolds often found in natural products. The reaction features mild reaction conditions, good functional group tolerability, and scalability. Its application was demonstrated in a short total synthesis of (±)-paeonilide. The fused bicyclic γ-lactone products can be easily diversified to other medicinally important scaffolds, which further broadens the application of this new carbonylation method.

Ring-opening fluorination of bicyclic azaarenes.

Project description:We have discovered a ring-opening fluorination of bicyclic azaarenes. Upon treatment of bicyclic azaarenes such as pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines with electrophilic fluorinating agents, fluorination of the aromatic ring is followed by a ring-opening reaction. Although this overall transformation can be classified as an electrophilic fluorination of an aromatic ring, it is a novel type of fluorination that results in construction of tertiary carbon-fluorine bonds. The present protocol can be applied to a range of bicyclic azaarenes, tolerating azines and a variety of functional groups. Additionally, mechanistic studies and enantioselective fluorination have been examined.

Ring-opening and ring-expansion reactions of carborane-fused borirane.

Project description:Though the reaction chemistry of three-membered ring molecules such as cyclopropanes and their heteroatom-containing analogues has been extensively studied, the chemical properties of their boron analogues, boriranes, are little known thus far. This work describes the diverse reactivity patterns of carborane-fused borirane 2. This borirane engages in ring-opening reactions with different types of Lewis acids, such as BBr3, GeCl2, GaCl3, BH3(SMe2) and HBpin, affording a series of ring-opening products, in which M-X or B-H bonds add across the B-C(cage) bond of the three-membered ring in 2. On the other hand, borirane 2 can undergo ring-expansion reactions with unsaturated molecules such as PhCHO, CO2 and PhCN to give ring-expansion products, five-membered boracycles, via a concerted reaction mechanism as supported by DFT calculations. The results of this work not only enrich the reaction chemistry of boriranes, but also offer new routes to boron-containing compounds and heterocycles.

Photosonochemical catalytic ring opening of alpha-epoxyketones.

Project description:The combination of ultrasound and photochemical methods has been used for the catalytic ring opening of alpha-epoxyketones by 1-benzyl-2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate (NBTPT) as photocatalyst in methanol. Sonication of these compounds in the presence of NBTPT did not result in the opening of epoxide ring, but the use of ultrasound increased the rate of photoreaction.

Practical Route for Catalytic Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization.

Project description:Norbornene derivatives are typical monomers for ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) for synthesizing highly functional polymers. However, the lack of catalytic methods, that is, the lack of readily available chain transfer agents (CTAs) for these monomers has been a significant cost limitation when large-scale syntheses are required. Here, we report commercially available styrene and its derivatives as efficient regioselective CTAs for the catalytic synthesis of metathesis polymers requiring up to 1000 times less ruthenium than in classical ROMP experiments. The molecular weight of the synthesized polymers was controlled by the monomer-to-CTA ratio. Low molecular weight ROMP polymers known for their antimicrobial properties were also synthesized on a gram scale in this report. Polymers were characterized by SEC, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and isotopically resolved MALDI-TOF MS. This approach describes a greener, more cost-effective, and eco-friendly methodology for the preparation of metathesis-based materials on the multigram scale.

Alkylative Ring-Opening of Bicyclic Aziridinium Ion and Its Application for Alkaloid Synthesis.

Project description:Alkylative ring-opening of bicyclic aziridinium ion generated from 4-hydroxybutylaziridine with organocopper reagent was achieved successfully to afford 2-alkylsubstituted piperidine in high or moderate yield. This method allowed carbon-carbon bond formation of "non-activated" aziridine via aziridinium ion ring-opening in regio- and stereo-selective manner for the first time. This newly developed reaction was applied for an efficient synthesis of alkaloid with the representative example of conine and epiquinamide.

Fluorinated ?-Lactones and Poly(?-hydroxyalkanoate)s: Synthesis via Epoxide Carbonylation and Ring-Opening Polymerization.

Project description:Efficient and mild reaction conditions were developed for the catalytic carbonylation of fluorinated epoxides to their corresponding ?-lactones. Six new lactones with fluorinated side chains were prepared in high isolated yields. These lactones were polymerized to form a series of new poly(?-hydroxyalkanoate)s with fluorinated side chains, and their properties were examined with respect to their hydrocarbon analogs. Finally, copolymerizations were performed with fluorinated lactones and ?-butyrolactone, which resulted in tapered copolymers rather than the expected random copolymers.

Catalytic Carbonylative Spirolactonization of Hydroxycyclopropanols.

Project description:A palladium-catalyzed cascade carbonylative spirolactonization of hydroxycyclopropanols has been developed to efficiently synthesize oxaspirolactones common to many complex natural products of important therapeutic value. The mild reaction conditions, high atom economy, broad substrate scope, and scalability of this new method were highlighted in expedient total syntheses of the Turkish tobacco natural products α-levantanolide and α-levantenolide in two and four steps, respectively. The hydroxycyclopropanol substrates are readily available in one step via a Kulinkovich reaction of the corresponding lactones. Mechanistic studies utilizing high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) identified several key intermediates in the catalytic cycle, as well as those related to catalyst decomposition and competitive pathways.

Novel zinc-catalytic systems for ring-opening polymerization of ?-caprolactone.

Project description:Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a biodegradable synthetic polymer that is currently widely used in many pharmaceutical and medical applications. In this paper we describe the coordination ring-opening polymerization of ?-caprolactone in the presence of two newly synthesized catalytic systems: diethylzinc/gallic acid and diethylzinc/propyl gallate. The chemical structures of the obtained PCLs were characterized by 1H- or 13C-NMR, FTIR spectroscopy and MALDI TOF mass spectrometry. The average molecular weight of the resulting polyesters was analysed by gel permeation chromatography and a viscosity method. The effects of temperature, reaction time and type of catalytic system on the polymerization process were examined. Linear PCLs with defined average molecular weight were successfully obtained. Importantly, in some cases the presence of macrocyclic products was not observed during the polymerization process. This study provides an effective method for the synthesis of biodegradable polyesters for medical and pharmaceutical applications due to the fact that gallic acid/propyl gallate are commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry.

Torquoselective ring opening of fused cyclobutenamides: evidence for a cis,trans-cyclooctadienone intermediate.

Project description:Electrocyclic ring opening of 4,6-fused cyclobutenamides 1 under thermal conditions leads to cis,trans-cyclooctadienones 2-E,E as transient intermediates, en route to 5,5-bicyclic products 3. Theoretical calculations predict that 4,5-fused cyclobutenamides should likewise undergo thermal ring opening, giving cis,trans-cycloheptadienones, but in this case conversion to 5,4-bicyclic products is thermodynamically disfavored, and these cyclobutenamides instead rearrange to vinyl cyclopentenones.

Pd-catalyzed stereoselective tandem ring-opening amination/cyclization of vinyl γ-lactones: access to caprolactam diversity.

Project description:A stereoselective amination/cyclization cascade process has been developed that allows for the preparation of a series of unsaturated and substituted caprolactam derivatives in good yields. This conceptually novel protocol takes advantage of the easy access and modular character of vinyl γ-lactones that can be prepared from simple precursors. Activation of the lactone substrate in the presence of a suitable Pd precursor and newly developed phosphoramidite ligand offers a stereocontrolled ring-opening/allylic amination manifold under ambient conditions. The intermediate (E)-configured ε-amino acid can be cyclized using a suitable dehydrating agent in an efficient one-pot, two-step sequence. This overall highly chemo-, stereo- and regio-selective transformation streamlines the production of a wide variety of modifiable and valuable caprolactam building blocks in an operationally attractive way.
