Magnesium-Promoted Additions of Difluoroenolates to Unactivated Imines.

ABSTRACT: Although there are many synthetic methods to produce fluorinated and trifluoromethylated organic structures, the construction of difluoromethylated compounds remains a synthetic challenge. We have discovered that unactivated imines will react with difluoroenolates under exceedingly mild conditions when using magnesium salts and organic bases. We have applied this approach to the iminoaldol reaction to produce difluoromethylene groups as α,α-difluoro-β-amino-carbonyl groups. This method provides synthetically useful quantities of difficult to access α,α-difluoro-β-aminoketones without the need of protecting groups or the use of activated imines. Moreover, we have applied this strategy to create analogues of the dual orexin receptor antagonist, almorexant, in only two synthetic steps.

Branch-Selective Addition of Unactivated Olefins into Imines and Aldehydes.

Project description:Radical hydrofunctionalization occurs with ease using metal-hydride hydrogen atom transfer (MHAT) catalysis to couple alkenes and competent radicalophilic electrophiles. Traditional two-electron electrophiles have remained unreactive. Herein we report the reductive coupling of electronically unbiased olefins with imines and aldehydes. Iron catalysis allows addition of alkyl-substituted olefins into imines through the intermediacy of free radicals, whereas a combination of catalytic Co(Sal t-Bu, t-Bu) and chromium salts enables a branch-selective coupling of olefins and aldehydes through the formation of a putative alkyl chromium intermediate.

Base-Promoted Radical Azofluoromethylation of Unactivated Alkenes.

Project description:The base-induced reaction of aryl diazonium salts with commercially available CF3SO2Na/CF2HSO2Na allows for the generation of the corresponding diazene radicals along with fluoromethyl radicals. The addition of fluoromethyl radicals to alkenes with subsequent diazene trapping provides the azofluoromethylation products in good to excellent yields. This metal-free method under mild reaction conditions has broad functional group compatibility and is applicable in the late-stage modification of various natural products and bioactive molecules.

Visible light-promoted alkylation of imines using potassium organotrifluoroborates.

Project description:A mild, redox-neutral, alkylation of imines with potassium alkyltrifluoroborates is described. The reaction proceeds under photoredox conditions at ∼30 °C with primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyltrifluoroborates, leading to alkylation products in moderate to good yield in most cases. Aryl-, vinyl-, and cyclopropyltrifluoroborates failed to react under the reported conditions.

Triphosgene-amine base promoted chlorination of unactivated aliphatic alcohols.

Project description:Unactivated ?-branched primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols have been successfully transformed into their corresponding alkyl chlorides in high yields upon treatment with a mixture of triphosgene and pyridine in dichloromethane at reflux. These mild chlorination conditions are high yielding, stereospecific, and well tolerated by numerous sensitive functionalities. Furthermore, no nuisance waste products are generated in the course of the reactions.

Complex allylation by the direct cross-coupling of imines with unactivated allylic alcohols.

Project description:Regioselective, stereoselective: The convergent coupling of allylic alcohols with imines to deliver stereodefined homoallylic amines is described (see scheme). The process proceeds with net allylic transposition without the intermediacy of allylic organometallic reagents. Two stereodefined centers and a geometrically defined di- or trisubstituted alkene are forged with high selectivity.

Trifluoroethanol Promoted Castagnoli-Cushman Cycloadditions of Imines with Homophthalic Anhydride.

Project description:Lactams are essential compounds in medicinal chemistry and key intermediates in the synthesis of natural products. The Castagnoli-Cushman reaction (CCR) of homophthalic anhydride with imines is an exciting method for accessing cyclic densely substituted lactam products. Most CCRs need to be catalyzed or heated. Herein, we report a new, efficient, metal and catalyst-free CCR for the synthesis of poly-substituted 3,4-lactams utilizing the unique properties of trifluoroethanol (TFE). This procedure provides high-speed and smooth access to a broad range of densely substituted 3,4-lactams in good yields and a 100% atom-economical fashion.

Salen promoted enantioselective Nazarov cyclizations of activated and unactivated dienones.

Project description:A novel class of chiral 5,5'-di(2,4,6-trialkyl)aryl salen-metal complexes have been developed and shown to catalyze highly enantioselective Nazarov cyclization reactions, giving rise to cyclopentenoids in 90:10-98:2 er. Significantly, the catalysts also promote, for the first time, highly enantioselective Nazarov reactions of "unactivated" dienones, producing hydrindenone products having in place three contiguous chiral centers.

Iron(III)/NaBH4-mediated additions to unactivated alkenes: synthesis of novel 20'-vinblastine analogues.

Project description:An Fe(III)/NaBH(4)-mediated reaction for the functionalization of unactivated alkenes is described defining the alkene substrate scope, establishing the exclusive Markovnikov addition, exploring a range of free radical traps, examining the Fe(III) salt and initiating hydride source, introducing H(2)O-cosolvent mixtures, and exploring catalytic variants. Its use led to the preparation of a novel, potent, and previously inaccessible C20'-vinblastine analogue.

Visible light-promoted CO2 fixation with imines to synthesize diaryl ?-amino acids.

Project description:Light-mediated transformations with CO2 have recently attracted great attention, with the focus on CO2 incorporation into C-C double and triple bonds, organohalides and amines. Herein is demonstrated visible light -mediated umpolung imine reactivity capable of engaging CO2 to afford ?-amino acid derivatives. By employing benzophenone ketimine derivatives, CO2 fixation by hydrocarboxylation of C=N double bonds is achieved. Good to excellent yields of a broad range of ?,?-disubstituted ?-amino acid derivatives are obtained under mild conditions (rt, atmospheric pressure of CO2, visible light). A procedure that avoids tedious chromatographic purification and uses sustainable sunlight is developed to highlight the simplicity of this method.

Relative Stabilities of Transition States Determine Diastereocontrol in Sulfur Ylide Additions onto Chiral N-Sulfinyl Imines.

Project description:Additions of methylphenylsulfonium methylide onto chiral non-racemic N-sulfinyl imines (R'-SO-N=CH-R, R'=t-butyl, R=protected diol), followed by ring closure, yield terminal aziridines with high diastereoselectivity. Control reactions have established that both N- and C- iminyl substituents impact product preference, and when properly matched, one addition product is selected almost exclusively. Using solution-phase density functional computational methods, minima and transition state searches have been performed to reveal the structural origins of the diastereoselectivity. Our computational findings indicate that ring closure is fast and irreversible, and consequently, the relative energies of the transition states for the competing Re/Si addition steps determine the product diastereomeric ratios. Analysis of addition transition state structures reveals the causes of selectivity as arising from the N- and C- iminyl substituents, and we identify the S (R) configuration of the N-sulfinyl sulfur atom as the dominant director of Si (Re) addition. The control attributed to the sulfur configuration is tied to an important favorable internal interaction between the sulfinyl oxygen and the iminyl hydrogen. The protected diol acts as a secondary director, owing to steric/electrostatic interactions with the approaching ylide.
