Remote Construction of N-Heterocycles via 1,4-Palladium Shift-Mediated Double C-H Activation.

ABSTRACT: In the past years, Pd⁰ -catalyzed C(sp³ )-H activation provided efficient and step-economical methods to synthesize carbo- and heterocycles via direct C(sp² )-C(sp³ ) bond formation. We report herein that a 1,4-Pd shift allows access to N-heterocycles which are difficult to build via a direct reaction. It is shown that o-bromo-N-methylanilines undergo a 1,4-Pd shift at the N-methyl group, followed by intramolecular trapping by C(sp² )-H or C(sp³ )-H activation at another nitrogen substituent and remote C-C bond formation to generate biologically relevant isoindolines and β-lactams. The product selectivity is influenced by the employed ligand, with NHCs favoring the product of remote C-C coupling against products arising from direct C-C coupling and N-demethylation.

Enantioselective construction of quaternary N-heterocycles by palladium-catalysed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of lactams.

Project description:The enantioselective synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles (N-heterocycles) represents a substantial chemical research effort and resonates across numerous disciplines, including the total synthesis of natural products and medicinal chemistry. In this Article, we describe the highly enantioselective palladium-catalysed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of readily available lactams to form 3,3-disubstituted pyrrolidinones, piperidinones, caprolactams and structurally related lactams. Given the prevalence of quaternary N-heterocycles in biologically active alkaloids and pharmaceutical agents, we envisage that our method will provide a synthetic entry into the de novo asymmetric synthesis of such structures. As an entry for these investigations we demonstrate how the described catalysis affords enantiopure quaternary lactams that intercept synthetic intermediates previously used in the synthesis of the Aspidosperma alkaloids quebrachamine and rhazinilam, but that were previously only available by chiral auxiliary approaches or as racemic mixtures.

Construction of Polycyclic ?-Lactams and Related Heterocycles via Electron Catalysis.

Project description:Cascade radical cyclization of 1,6-enynes for the construction of biologically important polycyclic ?-lactams and related heterocycles is reported. In these radical cascade processes, three new C-C bonds are formed and transition metals are not required to run these sequences. The mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, and the importance of the heterocyclic products render the approach valuable.

Aza-Heterocycles via Copper-Catalyzed, Remote C-H Desaturation of Amines.

Project description:The majority of medicines contain a nitrogen atom within a five- or six- membered ring. To rapidly access both such aza-heterocycles, we sought to develop a remote C-H desaturation of amines. Inspired by the Hofmann-Löffler-Freytag synthesis of five-membered pyrrolidines, we tackled the century-old challenge of synthesizing six-membered piperidines by H-atom transfer. We present herein a double, vicinal C-H oxidation by dual catalysis, entailing Ir photocatalytic initiation of 1,5-HAT by an N-centered radical and Cu-catalyzed interception of the C-centered radical to facilitate desaturation. By this mechanism, two C-H bonds (δ and ε to N) are regioselectively removed from unbiased, remote positions of an alkyl chain. Over 50 examples illustrate efficiency, selectivity, functional group tolerance, and medicinal utility of this synthesis of both internal and terminal δ vinylic amines and aza-heterocycles. Mechanistic experiments probe the alkylcopper intermediate, as well as kinetics and regioselectivity of the HAT and elimination steps.

Easy access to medium-sized lactones through metal carbene migratory insertion enabled 1,4-palladium shift.

Project description:Reactions that efficiently construct medium-sized lactones are significant, as they overcome the unfavorable entropic factor and transannular interactions for ring closure, and the lactones produced are common structural motifs recurring in many biologically active compounds. Herein, we describe a valuable strategy for medium-sized lactone synthesis by accomplishing site-selective C-H bond functionalization via a palladium carbene migratory insertion enabled 1,4-palladium shift. The overall process achieves the formal dimerization of two readily available benzaldehyde derivatives, providing value-added products medium-sized lactones. Our method is amenable to late-stage modification of approved drugs and other complex molecules. Mechanistic studies including deuterium-labeling experiments and DFT calculation shed light on the reaction pathways.

Expedient construction of small molecule macroarrays via sequential palladium- and copper-mediated reactions and their ex situ biological testing.

Project description:We report the highly efficient syntheses of a series of focused libraries in the small molecule macroarray format using Suzuki-Miyaura and copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (or "click") reactions. The libraries were based on stilbene and triazole scaffolds, which are known to have a broad range of biological activities, including quorum-sensing (QS) modulation in bacteria. The library products were generated in parallel on the macroarray in extremely short reaction times (~10-20 min) and isolated in excellent purities. Biological testing of one macroarray library post-cleavage (ex situ) revealed several potent agonists of the QS receptor, LuxR, in Vibrio fischeri. These synthetic agonists, in contrast to others that we have reported, were only active in the presence of the native QS signal in V. fischeri, which is suggestive of a different mode of activity. Notably, the results presented herein showcase the ready compatibility of the macroarray platform with chemical reactions that are commonly utilized in small molecule probe and drug discovery today. As such, this work serves to expand the utility of the small molecule macroarray as a rapid and operationally straightforward approach toward the synthesis and screening of bioactive agents.

Dearomative 1,4-difunctionalization of naphthalenes via palladium-catalyzed tandem Heck/Suzuki coupling reaction.

Project description:Dearomative functionalization reactions represent an important strategy for the synthesis of valuable three-dimensional molecules from simple planar aromatics. Naphthalene is a challenging arene towards transition-metal-catalyzed dearomative difunctionalization reactions. Reported herein is an application of naphthalene as a masked conjugated diene in a palladium-catalyzed dearomative 1,4-diarylation or 1,4-vinylarylation reaction via tandem Heck/Suzuki sequence. Three types of 1,4-dihydronaphthalene-based spirocyclic compounds are achieved in excellent regio- and diastereoselectivities. Key to this transformation is the inhibition of a few competitive side reactions, including intramolecular naphthalenyl C-H arylation, intermolecular Suzuki cross-coupling, dearomative 1,2-difunctionalization, and dearomative reductive-Heck reaction. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations imply that the facile exergonic dearomative insertion of a naphthalene double bond disrupts the sequence of direct Suzuki coupling, leading to the tandem Heck/Suzuki coupling reaction. The observed regioselectivity towards 1,4-difunctionalization is due to the steric repulsions between the introduced aryl group and the spiro-scaffold in 1,2-difunctionalization.

One-Step Asymmetric Construction of 1,4-Stereocenters via Tandem Mannich-Isomerization Reactions Mediated by a Dual-Functional Betaine Catalyst.

Project description:The construction of chiral motifs containing nonadjacent stereocenters stands out as a major challenge as they are usually constructed in separate steps utilizing different chiral catalysts. Therefore, the development of new strategies to streamline the construction of such complex motifs has become a major focus of asymmetric synthesis. We report here an unprecedented asymmetric tandem Mannich-isomerization reaction that allows the direct construction of 1,4-stereocenters in a highly stereoselective manner. This asymmetric transformation demonstrated the potential of a tandem nucleophilic addition-isomerization reaction as a broadly useful strategy for the efficient construction of 1,4-stereocenters. Notably, this tandem reaction was mediated by a single chiral betaine as a dual-functional catalyst, promoting first an enantioselective intermolecular C-C bond forming reaction and next a stereoselective intramolecular 1,3-proton transfer reaction.
