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

ABSTRACT: 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).

Catalyst-Free 1,6-Conjugate Addition/Aromatization/Sulfonylation of para-Quinone Methides: Facile Access to Diarylmethyl Sulfones.

Project description:An efficient, catalyst-free strategy to construct diarylmethyl sulfones via 1,6-conjugate addition/aromatization/sulfonylation reaction of para-quinone methides with sulfonyl hydrazides under mild and environmentally benign conditions has been developed. The established protocol provided a highly chemo- and regioselectivity synthesis of a diverse array of novel diarylmethyl sulfones with excellent yields, and the reaction could be scaled up.

Enantioselective Spirocyclopropanation of para-Quinone Methides Using Ammonium Ylides.

Project description:The use of Cinchona alkaloid-based chiral ammonium ylides allows for the first highly enantioselective and broadly applicable spirocyclopropanation reactions of para-quinone methides. This strategy provides a straightforward protocol toward the chiral spiro[2.5]octa-4,7-dien-6-one skeleton, which is a frequently found structural motif in important biologically active molecules.

Base-Catalyzed 1,6-Conjugate Addition of Nitroalkanes to p-Quinone Methides under Continuous Flow.

Project description:A mild base-catalyzed protocol for the synthesis of substituted nitroalkane derivatives has been developed under continuous flow using a microreaction technique. This transformation basically involves the 1,6-conjugate addition of nitroalkanes to p-quinone methides, leading to the substituted nitroalkanes in good to excellent yields.

TBAB-Catalyzed 1,6-Conjugate Sulfonylation of para-Quinone Methides: A Highly Efficient Approach to Unsymmetrical gem-Diarylmethyl Sulfones in Water.

Project description:A highly efficient sulfonylation of para-quinone methides with sulfonyl hydrazines in water has been developed on the basis of the mode involving a tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (TBAB)-promoted sulfa-1,6-conjugated addition pathway. This reaction provides a green and sustainable method to synthesize various unsymmetrical diarylmethyl sulfones, showing good functional group tolerance, scalability, and regioselectivity. Further transformation of the resulting diarylmethyl sulfones provides an efficient route to some functionalized molecules.

3-Nitroindoles Serving as N-Centered Nucleophiles for Aza-1,6-Michael Addition to para-Quinone Methides.

Project description:An unprecedented N-alkylation of 3-nitroindoles with para-quinone methides was developed for the first time. Using potassium carbonate as the base, a wide range of structurally diverse N-diarylmethylindole derivatives were obtained with moderated to good yields via the protection group migration/aza-1,6-Michael addition sequences. The reaction process was also demonstrated by control experiments. Different from the previous advances where 3-nitrodoles served as electrophiles trapping by various nucleophiles, the reaction herein is featured that 3-nitrodoles is defined with latent N-centered nucleophiles to react with ortho-hydrophenyl p-QMs for construction of various N-diarylmethylindoles.

Enantioselective Catalytic [4+1]-Cyclization of ortho-Hydroxy-para-Quinone Methides with Allenoates.

Project description:The first highly asymmetric catalytic synthesis of densely functionalized dihydrobenzofurans is reported, which starts from ortho-hydroxy-containing para-quinone methides. The reaction relies on an unprecedented formal [4+1]-annulation of these quinone methides with allenoates in the presence of a commercially available chiral phosphine catalyst. The chiral dihydrobenzofurans were obtained as single diastereomers in yields up to 90 % and with enantiomeric ratios up to 95:5.

Substituted 2-styryl phenols were obtained in good yields (up to 95%) with high enantiomeric ratios (up to 98:2) in the presence of 10 mol % 3,3'-Br(2)-BINOL. A two-step synthesis of (S)-4-methoxydalbergione in good yield and selectivity was achieved.

Isothiourea-Catalyzed Enantioselective Michael Addition of Malonates to α,β-Unsaturated Aryl Esters.

Project description:An enantioselective Michael addition of malonates to α,β-unsaturated para-nitrophenyl esters was achieved using the Lewis basic isothiourea HyperBTM, giving excellent levels of product enantioselectivity (up to >99:1 enantiomeric ratio) in good yields and with complete regioselectivity (>20:1 regioselectivity ratio) in the presence of alternative (phenyl ketone and ethyl ester) Michael acceptors. Density functional theory calculations indicate that N-acylation is rate-limiting. This constitutes a rare example of a highly enantioselective addition of simple, readily available malonates to α,β-unsaturated esters.

Enantioselective isothiourea-catalysed reversible Michael addition of aryl esters to 2-benzylidene malononitriles.

Project description:Catalytic enantioselective transformations usually rely upon optimal enantioselectivity being observed in kinetically controlled reaction processes, with energy differences between diastereoisomeric transition state energies translating to stereoisomeric product ratios. Herein, stereoselectivity resulting from an unusual reversible Michael addition of an aryl ester to 2-benzylidene malononitrile electrophiles using an isothiourea as a Lewis base catalyst is demonstrated. Notably, the basicity of the aryloxide component and reactivity of the isothiourea Lewis base both affect the observed product selectivity, with control studies and crossover experiments indicating the feasibility of a constructive reversible Michael addition from the desired product. When this reversible addition is coupled with a crystallisation-induced diastereomer transformation (CIDT) it allows isolation of products in high yield and stereocontrol (14 examples, up to 95 : 5 dr and 99 : 1 er). Application of this process to gram scale, plus derivatisations to provide further useful products, is demonstrated.

Synthesis of diarylmethyl thioethers via a DABCO-catalyzed 1,6-conjugate addition reaction of p-quinone methides with organosulfur reagents.

Project description:A rapid and simple method was developed for the synthesis of diarylmethyl thioethers via a DABCO-catalyzed 1,6-conjugate addition reaction of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) with organosulfur reagents. A series of diarylmethyl thioethers were synthesized at 13-85% yields by this method. After that, the antibacterial activities of synthesized diarylmethyl thioethers and their derivatives were evaluated. The MIC range (μg mL-1) against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and clinically isolated methicillin-resistant S. aureus was 8-128 and 64-128, respectively.
