Organocatalytic enantioselective dearomatization of thiophenes by 1,10-conjugate addition of indole imine methides.

ABSTRACT: Catalytic asymmetric dearomatization (CADA) is a powerful tool for the rapid construction of diverse chiral cyclic molecules from cheap and easily available arenes. This work reports an organocatalytic enantioselective dearomatization of substituted thiophenes in the context of a rare remote asymmetric 1,10-conjugate addition. By suitable stabilization of the thiophenyl carbocation with an indole motif in the form of indole imine methide, excellent remote chemo-, regio-, and stereocontrol in the nucleophilic addition can be achieved with chiral phosphoric acid catalysis under mild conditions. This protocol can be successfully extended to the asymmetric dearomatization of other heteroarenes including selenophenes and furans. Control experiments and DFT calculations demonstrate a possible pathway in which hydrogen bonding plays an important role in selectivity control.

Organocatalytic enantioselective conjugate addition of 2-naphthols to <i>ortho</i>-hydroxyphenyl substituted <i>para</i>-quinone methides: access to unsymmetrical triarylmethanes.

Project description:The enantioselective conjugate addition of 2-naphthols to ortho-hydroxyphenyl substituted para-quinone methides has been achieved with the aid of a chiral phosphoric acid. Importantly, the reaction took place with excellent chemo- and regioselectivities. In addition, the protocol features a low catalyst loading, mild reaction conditions, and enables the formation of unsymmetrical triarylmethanes in good to high yields with generally high enantioselectivities.

Bioinspired total synthesis of katsumadain A by organocatalytic enantioselective 1,4-conjugate addition.

Project description:Katsumadain A, a naturally occurring inﬂuenza virus neuraminidase (NA) inhibitor, was synthesized by using a bioinspired, organocatalytic enantioselective 1,4-conjugate addition of styryl-2-pyranone with cinnamaldehyde, followed by a tandem Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons/oxa Michael addition.

Photochemical Organocatalytic Regio- and Enantioselective Conjugate Addition of Allyl Groups to Enals.

Project description:We report the first catalytic enantioselective conjugate addition of allyl groups to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The chemistry exploits the visible-light-excitation of chiral iminium ions to activate allyl silanes towards the formation of allylic radicals, which are then intercepted stereoselectively. The underlying radical mechanism of this process overcomes the poor regio- and chemoselectivity that traditionally affects the conjugate allylation of enals proceeding via polar pathways. We also demonstrate how this organocatalytic strategy could selectively install a valuable prenyl fragment at the β-carbon of enals.

Isothiourea-Catalyzed Enantioselective α-Alkylation of Esters via 1,6-Conjugate Addition to para-Quinone Methides.

Project description:The isothiourea-catalyzed enantioselective 1,6-conjugate addition of para-nitrophenyl esters to 2,6-disubstituted para-quinone methides is reported. para-Nitrophenoxide, generated in situ from initial N-acylation of the isothiourea by the para-nitrophenyl ester, is proposed to facilitate catalyst turnover in this transformation. A range of para-nitrophenyl ester products can be isolated, or derivatized in situ by addition of benzylamine to give amides at up to 99% yield. Although low diastereocontrol is observed, the diastereoisomeric ester products are separable and formed with high enantiocontrol (up to 94:6 er).

Enantioselective Organocatalytic Conjugate Addition of Malonates to β,β-Disubstituted β-Trifluoromethyl Enones under High Pressure.

Project description:The first enantioselective Michael addition of malonates to acyclic β,β-disubstituted enones has been developed. Sterically hindered β-trifluoromethyl α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl thiazoles and benzothiazoles were found to be the most reactive groups of enones in the reaction catalyzed by bifunctional tertiary amine-thioureas (2-5 mol %). However, application of hyperbaric conditions (8-10 kbar) was required. The adducts containing quaternary stereogenic centers with a CF3 group were obtained in high yields (vs <1% at 1 bar) with enantiomeric excesses up to 95%.

Organocatalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of Bicyclo[2.2.2]octenones via Oxaziridinium Catalysed ortho-Hydroxylative Phenol Dearomatization.

Project description:Hydroxylative dearomatization reactions of phenols (HPD) offer an efficient way to assemble complex, biologically relevant scaffolds. Despite this, enantioselective hydroxylative phenol dearomatizations for the construction of bicyclo[2.2.2]octenones are classically limited to stoichiometric chiral reagents, and a practical, enantioselective catalytic method has remained elusive. Herein, we describe a highly enantioselective, organocatalytic tandem o-HPD-[4+2] reaction. Our methodology utilizes a chiral oxaziridinium organocatalyst, that is available in both enantiomeric forms, to afford dearomatized products in high enantioselectivity over a range of phenol substitution patterns. This approach was applied to the highly enantioselective synthesis of (+)-biscarvacrol (99 : 1 e.r.) and (-)-bis(2,6-xylenol) (94 : 6 e.r.). The practicality of our conditions was demonstrated at gram-scale, using an amine precatalyst, accessible in a single synthetic step.

Catalytic asymmetric functionalization and dearomatization of thiophenes.

Project description:The asymmetric synthesis of thiophene-derived compounds, including catalytic asymmetric dearomatization of thiophene and atroposelective synthesis of benzothiophene derivatives, has rarely been reported. In this work, the asymmetric transformation of the thiophene motif is investigated. Through the rational design of substrates with a thiophene structure, by using the vinylidene ortho-quinone methide (VQM) intermediate as a versatile tool, axially chiral naphthyl-benzothiophene derivatives and thiophene-dearomatized chiral spiranes were obtained in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities.
