Enantioselective Intermolecular C-H Amination Directed by a Chiral Cation.

ABSTRACT: The enantioselective amination of C(sp³)-H bonds is a powerful synthetic transformation yet highly challenging to achieve in an intermolecular sense. We have developed a family of anionic variants of the best-in-class catalyst for Rh-catalyzed C-H amination, Rh₂(esp)₂, with which we have associated chiral cations derived from quaternized cinchona alkaloids. These ion-paired catalysts enable high levels of enantioselectivity to be achieved in the benzylic C-H amination of substrates bearing pendant hydroxyl groups. Additionally, the quinoline of the chiral cation appears to engage in axial ligation to the rhodium complex, providing improved yields of product versus Rh₂(esp)₂ and highlighting the dual role that the cation is playing. These results underline the potential of using chiral cations to control enantioselectivity in challenging transition-metal-catalyzed transformations.

Enantioselective Intermolecular Radical C-H Amination.

Project description:Radical reactions hold a number of inherent advantages in organic synthesis that may potentially impact the planning and practice for construction of organic molecules. However, the control of enantioselectivity in radical processes remains one of the longstanding challenges. While significant advances have recently been achieved in intramolecular radical reactions, the governing of asymmetric induction in intermolecular radical reactions still poses challenging issues. We herein report a catalytic approach that is highly effective for controlling enantioselectivity as well as reactivity of the intermolecular radical C-H amination of carboxylic acid esters with organic azides via Co(II)-based metalloradical catalysis (MRC). The key to the success lies in the catalyst development to maximize noncovalent attractive interactions through fine-tuning of the remote substituents of the D2-symmetric chiral amidoporphyrin ligand. This noncovalent interaction strategy presents a solution that may be generally applicable in controlling reactivity and enantioselectivity in intermolecular radical reactions. The Co(II)-catalyzed intermolecular C-H amination, which operates under mild conditions with the C-H substrate as the limiting reagent, exhibits a broad substrate scope with high chemoselectivity, providing effective access to valuable chiral amino acid derivatives with high enantioselectivities. Systematic mechanistic studies shed light into the working details of the underlying stepwise radical pathway for the Co(II)-based C-H amination.

Substrate-Directed Enantioselective Aziridination of Alkenyl Alcohols Controlled by a Chiral Cation.

Project description:Alkene aziridination is a highly versatile transformation for the construction of chiral nitrogen-containing compounds. Inspired by the success of analogous substrate-directed epoxidations, we report an enantioselective aziridination of alkenyl alcohols, which enables asymmetric nitrene transfer to alkenes with varied substitution patterns, including those not covered by the current protocols. We believe that our method is effective because it is substrate-directed, exploiting a network of attractive non-covalent interactions between the substrate, an achiral dianionic rhodium(II,II) tetracarboxylate dimer, and its two associated cinchona alkaloid-derived cations. It is these cations that provide a defined chiral pocket in which the aziridination can occur. In addition to a thorough evaluation of compatible alkene classes, we advance a practical mnemonic to predict reaction outcome and disclose a range of post-functionalization protocols that highlight the unique synthetic potential of the enantioenriched aziridine-alcohol products.

Interrogating the Crucial Interactions at Play in the Chiral Cation-Directed Enantioselective Borylation of Arenes.

Project description:Rendering a common ligand scaffold anionic and then pairing it with a chiral cation represents an alternative strategy for developing enantioselective versions of challenging transformations, as has been recently demonstrated in the enantioselective borylation of arenes using a quinine-derived chiral cation. A significant barrier to the further generalization of this approach is the lack of understanding of the specific interactions involved between the cation, ligand, and substrate, given the complexity of the system. We have embarked on a detailed computational study probing the mechanism, the key noncovalent interactions involved, and potential origin of selectivity for the desymmetrizing borylation of two distinct classes of substrate. We describe a deconstructive, stepwise approach to tackling this complex challenge, which involves building up a detailed understanding of the pairwise components of the nominally three component system before combining together into the full 263-atom reactive complex. This approach has revealed substantial differences in the noncovalent interactions occurring at the stereodetermining transition state for C-H oxidative addition to iridium for the two substrate classes. Each substrate engages in a unique mixture of diverse interactions, a testament to the rich and privileged structure of the cinchona alkaloid-derived chiral cations. Throughout the study, experimental support is provided, and this culminates in the discovery that prochiral phosphine oxide substrates, lacking hydrogen bond donor functionality, can also give very encouraging levels of enantioselectivity, potentially through direct interactions with the chiral cation. We envisage that the findings in this study will spur further developments in using chiral cations as controllers in asymmetric transition-metal catalysis.

Copper-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular alkene amination/intermolecular Heck-type coupling cascade.

Project description:Enantioselective copper-catalyzed cyclization of ?-alkenylsulfonamides and a ?-alkenylsulfonamide in the presence of a range of vinyl arenes results in variously functionalized 2-substituted chiral nitrogen heterocycles via a formal alkene C-H functionalization process. Application of this reaction to the concise synthesis of a 5-HT(7) receptor antagonist is demonstrated.

Enantioselective synthesis of [4]helicenes by organocatalyzed intermolecular C-H amination.

Project description:Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of helically chiral molecules has remained an outstanding challenge and witnessed fairly limited progress in the past decades. Current methods to construct such compounds almost entirely rely on catalytic enantiocontrolled fused-ring system extension. Herein, we report a direct terminal peri-functionalization strategy, which allows for efficient assembling of 1,12-disubstituted [4]carbohelicenes via an organocatalyzed enantioselective amination reaction of 2-hydroxybenzo[c]phenanthrene derivates with diazodicarboxamides. The key feature of this approach is that the stereochemical information of the catalyst could be transferred into not only the helix sense but also the remote C-N axial chirality of the products, thus enabling the synthesis of [4]- and [5]helicenes with both structural diversity and stereochemical complexity in good efficiency and excellent enantiocontrol. Besides, the large-scale preparations and representative transformations of the helical products further demonstrate the practicality of this protocol. Moreover, DFT calculations reveal that both the hydrogen bonds and the C-H---π interactions between the substrates and catalyst contribute to the ideal stereochemical control.

A chiral rhodium carboxamidate catalyst for enantioselective C-H amination.

Project description:Rh2(S-nap)4, a chiral dirhodium tetracarboxamidate complex, has been developed and shown to be an effective catalyst for the asymmetric, intramolecular C-H amination of sulfamate esters. Enantiomeric excesses range from 60-99% for a collection of disparately substituted 3-arylpropylsulfamates. In addition, Rh2(S-nap)4 is found to promote chemoselective allylic C-H oxidation of unsaturated sulfamates, a property not observed with other dirhodium complexes tested to date.

Enantioselective, intermolecular benzylic C-H amination catalysed by an engineered iron-haem enzyme.

Project description:C-H bonds are ubiquitous structural units of organic molecules. Although these bonds are generally considered to be chemically inert, the recent emergence of methods for C-H functionalization promises to transform the way synthetic chemistry is performed. The intermolecular amination of C-H bonds represents a particularly desirable and challenging transformation for which no efficient, highly selective, and renewable catalysts exist. Here we report the directed evolution of an iron-containing enzymatic catalyst-based on a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase-for the highly enantioselective intermolecular amination of benzylic C-H bonds. The biocatalyst is capable of up to 1,300 turnovers, exhibits excellent enantioselectivities, and provides access to valuable benzylic amines. Iron complexes are generally poor catalysts for C-H amination: in this catalyst, the enzyme's protein framework confers activity on an otherwise unreactive iron-haem cofactor.

Chiral phosphoramide-catalyzed, enantioselective, directed cross-aldol reactions of aldehydes.

Project description:Catalytic, enantioselective, directed cross-aldol reactions of aldehydes are described. The addition of isobutyraldehyde trichlorosilyl enolate 2 to various aldehydes in the presence of 10 mol % bisphosphoramide 4 provides aldol products in high yields with moderate to good enantioselectivities. The reaction works well with a wide range of aromatic, olefinic, and aliphatic aldehydes. Enantioselectivities are highly dependent on the electronic nature of the aldehyde substituent. Hammett studies reveal that enantioselectivity increases as aldehydes become either more electron rich or more electron poor.

Enantioselective Synthesis of Pyrrolopyrimidine Scaffolds through Cation-Directed Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution.

Project description:The catalytic enantioselective synthesis of 3-aryl-substituted pyrrolopyrimidines (PPYs), a common motif in drug discovery, is achieved through a kinetic resolution via quaternary ammonium salt-catalyzed nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr). Both enantioenriched products and starting materials can be functionalized with no observed racemization to give enantiodivergent access to diverse chiral analogues of an important class of kinase inhibitor. One of the compounds was found to be a potent and selective inhibitor of breast tumor kinase.
