Highly enantioselective access to cannabinoid-type tricyles by organocatalytic Diels-Alder reactions.

ABSTRACT: After prosperous domino reactions towards benzopyrans, the products were used as the starting material in Lewis acid catalyzed and organocatalytic Diels-Alder reactions to build up a tricyclic system. Herein, an asymmetric induction up to 96% enantiomeric excess was obtained by the use of imidazolidinone catalysts. This approach can be utilized to construct the tricyclic system in numerous natural products, in particular the scaffold of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) being the most representative one. Compared with other published methods, condensation with a preexisting cyclohexane moiety in the precursor is needed to gain the heterogenic tricycle systems, whereas we present a novel strategy towards cannabinoid derivatives based on a flexible modular synthesis.

Enantioselective Organocatalytic Diels-Alder Trapping of Photochemically Generated Hydroxy-o-Quinodimethanes.

Project description:The photoenolization/Diels-Alder strategy offers straightforward access to synthetically valuable benzannulated carbocyclic products. This historical light-triggered process has never before succumbed to efforts to develop an enantioselective catalytic approach. Herein, we demonstrate how asymmetric organocatalysis provides simple yet effective catalytic tools to intercept photochemically generated hydroxy-o-quinodimethanes with high stereoselectivity. We used a chiral organic catalyst, derived from natural cinchona alkaloids, to activate maleimides toward highly stereoselective Diels-Alder reactions. An unconventional mechanism of stereocontrol is operative, wherein the organocatalyst is actively involved in both the photochemical pathway, by leveraging the formation of the reactive photoenol, and the stereoselectivity-defining event.

Enantioselective (formal) aza-Diels-Alder reactions with non-Danishefsky-type dienes.

Project description:Enantioselective (formal) aza-Diels-Alder reactions between acylhydrazones and non-Danishefsky-type dienes have been developed. The reactions are promoted by a simple and economical chiral silicon Lewis acid and are typically conducted at ambient temperature. Both glyoxylate- and aliphatic aldehyde-derived hydrazones may be employed, as may variously substituted dienes, leading to the synthesis of a diverse array of tetrahydropyridines with good to excellent levels of enantioselectivity.

Catalytic enantioselective hetero-Diels-Alder reactions of an azo compound.

Project description:This communication describes studies in which an azo hetero-Diels-Alder adduct was furnished in high regio- and enantioselectivity using azopyridine as a reagent and silver as a catalyst. The obtained hetero-Diels-Alder adduct was easily converted to the corresponding chiral 1,4-diamino alcohol.

A Cu(II)-ATP complex efficiently catalyses enantioselective Diels-Alder reactions.

Project description:Natural biomolecules have been used extensively as chiral scaffolds that bind/surround metal complexes to achieve stereoselectivity in catalytic reactions. ATP is ubiquitously found in nature as an energy-storing molecule and can complex diverse metal cations. However, in biotic reactions ATP-metal complexes are thought to function mostly as co-substrates undergoing phosphoanhydride bond cleavage reactions rather than participating in catalytic mechanisms. Here, we report that a specific Cu(II)-ATP complex (Cu2+·ATP) efficiently catalyses Diels-Alder reactions with high reactivity and enantioselectivity. We investigate the substrates and stereoselectivity of the reaction, characterise the catalyst by a range of physicochemical experiments and propose the reaction mechanism based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It is found that three key residues (N7, β-phosphate and γ-phosphate) in ATP are important for the efficient catalytic activity and stereocontrol via complexation of the Cu(II) ion. In addition to the potential technological uses, these findings could have general implications for the chemical selection of complex mixtures in prebiotic scenarios.

Computational evaluation of enantioselective Diels-Alder reactions mediated by Corey's cationic oxazaborolidine catalysts.

Project description:The cationic oxazaborolidine-catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions of butadiene and a series of five dienophiles have been studied using density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31G(d)). In each case, the computational results successfully reproduce the experimentally observed sense of stereoinduction and enantiomeric ratio. The computed structures of the lowest energy Lewis acid-carbonyl complexes and Lewis acid-transition state complexes are closely related to the models for stereoselection proposed by Corey and co-workers.

Chiral-at-Iron Catalyst for Highly Enantioselective and Diastereoselective Hetero-Diels-Alder Reaction.

Project description:This study demonstrates that chiral-at-iron complexes, in which all coordinated ligands are achiral and the overall chirality the consequence of a stereogenic iron center, are capable of catalyzing asymmetric transformations with very high enantioselectivities. The catalyst is based on a previously reported design (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2017, 139, 4322), in which iron(II) is surrounded by two configurationally inert achiral bidentate N-(2-pyridyl)-substituted N-heterocyclic carbenes in a C2 -symmetric fashion and complemented by two labile acetonitriles. By replacing mesityl with more bulky 2,6-diisopropylphenyl substituents at the NHC ligands, the steric hindrance at the catalytic site was increased, thereby providing a markedly improved asymmetric induction. The new chiral-at-iron catalyst was applied to the inverse electron demand hetero-Diels-Alder reaction between β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoester and enol ethers provide 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrans in high yields with excellent diastereoselectivities (up to 99 : 1 dr) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98 % ee). Other electron rich dienophiles are also suitable as demonstrated for a reaction with a vinyl azide.

How Ionization Catalyzes Diels-Alder Reactions.

Project description:The catalytic effect of ionization on the Diels-Alder reaction between 1,3-butadiene and acrylaldehyde has been studied using relativistic density functional theory (DFT). Removal of an electron from the dienophile, acrylaldehyde, significantly accelerates the Diels-Alder reaction and shifts the reaction mechanism from concerted asynchronous for the neutral Diels-Alder reaction to stepwise for the radical-cation Diels-Alder reaction. Our detailed activation strain and Kohn-Sham molecular orbital analyses reveal how ionization of the dienophile enhances the Diels-Alder reactivity via two mechanisms: (i) by amplifying the asymmetry in the dienophile's occupied π-orbitals to such an extent that the reaction goes from concerted asynchronous to stepwise and thus with substantially less steric (Pauli) repulsion per reaction step; (ii) by enhancing the stabilizing orbital interactions that result from the ability of the singly occupied molecular orbital of the radical-cation dienophile to engage in an additional three-electron bonding interaction with the highest occupied molecular orbital of the diene.

Enantioselective formal aza-Diels-Alder reactions of enones with cyclic imines catalyzed by primary aminothioureas.

Project description:A highly enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of indolo- and benzoquinolizidine compounds has been developed through the formal aza-Diels-Alder reaction of enones with cyclic imines. This transformation is catalyzed by a new bifunctional primary aminothiourea that achieves simultaneous activation of both the enone and imine reaction components.

Total synthesis of (+)-gelsemine via an organocatalytic Diels-Alder approach.

Project description:The structurally complex alkaloid gelsemine was previously thought to have no significant biological activities, but a recent study has shown that it has potent and specific antinociception in chronic pain. While this molecule has attracted significant interests from the synthetic community, an efficient synthetic strategy is still the goal of many synthetic chemists. Here we report the asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-gelsemine, including a highly diastereoselective and enantioselective organocatalytic Diels-Alder reaction, an efficient intramolecular trans-annular aldol condensation furnishing the prolidine ring and establishing the configuration of the C20 quaternary carbon stereochemical centre. The entire gelsemine skeleton was constructed through a late-stage intramolecular SN2 substitution. The enantiomeric excess of this total synthesis is over 99%, and the overall yield is around 5%.
