Palladium-catalysed formation of vicinal all-carbon quaternary centres via propargylation.

ABSTRACT: Construction of two vicinal all-carbon quaternary carbon centres is of great importance due to the common presence of such units in natural and unnatural molecules with attractive functions. However, it remains a significant challenge. Here, we have developed a palladium-catalysed general coupling for the efficient connection of two tertiary carbon atoms: Specifically, propargylic carbonate has been treated with a fully loaded soft functionalized nucleophile to connect such two fully loaded carbon atoms with a simple palladium catalyst. It is observed that the central chirality in the optically active tertiary propargylic carbonates has been remembered and transferred into the products with very high efficiency. The triple bond and the functional groups such as ester, cyano and unsaturated C-C bonds make this method a relatively general solution for such a purpose due to their high synthetic versatility.

Enantioselective Synthesis of Vicinal All-Carbon Quaternary Centers via Iridium-Catalyzed Allylic Alkylation.

Project description:The development of the first enantioselective transition-metal-catalyzed allylic alkylation providing access to acyclic products bearing vicinal all-carbon quaternary centers is disclosed. The iridium-catalyzed allylic alkylation reaction proceeds with excellent yields and selectivities for a range of malononitrile-derived nucleophiles and trisubstituted allylic electrophiles. The utility of these sterically congested products is explored through a series of diverse chemo- and diastereoselective product transformations to afford a number of highly valuable, densely functionalized building blocks, including those containing vicinal all-carbon quaternary stereocenters.

A palladium-catalysed enolate alkylation cascade for the formation of adjacent quaternary and tertiary stereocentres.

Project description:The catalytic enantioselective synthesis of densely functionalised organic molecules containing all-carbon quaternary stereocentres is a challenge to modern chemical methodology research. The catalytically controlled asymmetric alpha-alkylation of ketones represents another difficult task and has been of major interest to our and other research groups in the past. We now report a palladium-catalyzed enantioselective process that addresses both problems at once and allows the installation of vicinal all-carbon quaternary and tertiary stereocentres at the alpha-carbon of a ketone in a single step. This multiple bond forming process is carried out on readily available beta-ketoester starting materials and proceeds via conjugate addition of an in situ-generated palladium enolate to activated Michael acceptors. In other words, the CO(2)-moiety of the substrate is displaced by a C-C fragment in an asymmetric cut-and-paste reaction. The products are obtained in high yield, diastereomeric ratio, and enantiomeric excess.

Activation of diverse carbon-heteroatom and carbon-carbon bonds via palladium(II)-catalysed ?-X elimination.

Project description:Chemists' ability to synthesize structurally complex, high-value organic molecules from simple starting materials is limited by methods to selectively activate and functionalize strong alkyl C(sp3) covalent bonds. Recent activity has focused on the activation of abundant C-O, C-N and C-C bonds via a mechanistic paradigm of oxidative addition of a low-valent, electron-rich transition metal. This approach typically employs nickel(0), rhodium(I), ruthenium(0) and iron catalysts under conditions finely tuned for specific, electronically activated substrates, sometimes assisted by chelating functional groups or ring strain. By adopting a redox-neutral strategy involving palladium(II)-catalysed C-H activation followed by ?-heteroatom/carbon elimination, we describe here a catalytic method to activate alkyl C(sp3)-oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, fluorine and sulfur bonds with high regioselectivity. Directed hydrofunctionalization of the resultant palladium(II)-bound alkene leads to formal functional group metathesis. The method is applied to amino acid upgrading with complete regioselectivity and moderate to high retention of enantiomeric excess. Low-strain heterocycles undergo strong-bond activation and substitution, giving ring-opened products.

Synthesis of Vicinal Quaternary All-Carbon Centers via Acid-catalyzed Cycloisomerization of Neopentylic Epoxides.

Project description:We report our studies on the development of a catalytic cycloisomerization of 2,2-disubstituted neopentylic epoxides to produce highly substituted tetralins and chromanes. Termination of the sequence occurs via Friedel-Crafts-type alkylation of the remote (hetero)arene linker. The transformation is efficiently promoted by sulfuric acid and proceeds best in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as the solvent. Variation of the substitution pattern provided detailed insights into the migration tendencies and revealed a competing disproportionation pathway of dihydronaphthalenes.

Formation of quaternary centres by copper catalysed asymmetric conjugate addition to ?-substituted cyclopentenones with the aid of a quantitative structure-selectivity relationship.

Project description:A new asymmetric conjugate addition method was developed for ?-substituted cyclopentenones to form quaternary centres using alkylzirconocene nucleophiles giving up to 97% yield and 92% ee. Key to the reaction's success was the design of suitable phosphoramidite ligands which was aided by a linear quantitative structure-selectivity relationship (QSSR). QSSR models were created from the ligand screening data (a total of 36 ligands) which revealed important electronic and steric requirements and led to the synthesis of more enantioselective ligands. DFT calculations of competing transition structures enable the interpretation of the electronic and steric terms present in the QSSR models.

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 structures with vicinal all-carbon quaternary stereocenters <i>via</i> an enantioselective photoenolization/Diels-Alder reaction.

Project description:All-carbon quaternary stereocenters are ubiquitous in natural products and significant in drug molecules. However, construction of all-carbon stereocenters is a challenging project due to their congested chemical environment. And, when vicinal all-carbon quaternary stereocenters are present in one molecule, they will dramatically increase its synthetic challenge. A chiral titanium promoted enantioselective photoenolization/Diels-Alder (PEDA) reaction allows largely stereohindered tetra-substituted dienophiles to interact with highly active photoenolized hydroxy-o-quinodimethanes, delivering fused or spiro polycyclic rings bearing vicinal all-carbon quaternary centers in excellent enantiomeric excess through one-step operation. This newly developed enantioselective PEDA reaction will inspire other advances in asymmetric excited-state reactions, and could be used in the total synthesis of structurally related complex natural products or drug-like molecules for drug discovery.

Stereodivergent synthesis of vicinal quaternary-quaternary stereocenters and bioactive hyperolactones.

Project description:Although great success has been achieved in asymmetric Claisen rearrangement for the synthesis of chiral ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl compounds bearing vicinal tertiary-quaternary stereocenters, the development of asymmetric versions for stereodivergent construction of adjacent quaternary-quaternary stereocenters remains a formidable challenge because of the high steric hindrance. Here we report a catalytic enantioselective dearomatization Claisen rearrangement of allyl furyl ethers catalyzed by chiral N,N'-dioxide-NiII complex catalysts. A variety of chiral ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl compounds bearing vicinal quaternary-quaternary stereocenters were obtained with excellent outcomes under mild conditions. Furthermore, we disclosed that by matching the configuration of the catalysts and the alkene unit of the substrates, four stereoisomers of the products could be prepared in excellent yields and stereoselectivities. Finally, the fascination of this strategy was demonstrated by stereodivergent synthesis of bioactive natural products hyperolactones B, C, and their epimers. A possible catalytic model was proposed to explain the origin of the asymmetric induction.

Diastereospecific nazarov cyclization of fully substituted dienones: generation of vicinal all-carbon-atom quaternary stereocenters.

Project description:No vacancy: Fully substituted dienones that are highly polarized by a vinylogous carbonate group were found to undergo a remarkably rapid and diastereospecific Nazarov cyclization that led to cyclopentenones with vicinal all-carbon-atom quaternary centers (see example; SEM=2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl, Tf=trifluoromethanesulfonyl).

Reduced Carbon Monoxide Saturation Coverage on Vicinal Palladium Surfaces: the Importance of the Adsorption Site.

Project description:Steps at metal surfaces may influence energetics and kinetics of catalytic reactions in unexpected ways. Here, we report a significant reduction of the CO saturation coverage in Pd vicinal surfaces, which in turn is relevant for the light-off of the CO oxidation reaction. The study is based on a systematic investigation of CO adsorption on vicinal Pd(111) surfaces making use of a curved Pd crystal. A combined X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and DFT analysis allows us to demonstrate that an entire row of atomic sites under Pd steps remains free of CO upon saturation at 300 K, leading to a step-density-dependent reduction of CO coverage that correlates with the observed decrease of the light-off temperature during CO oxidation in vicinal Pd surfaces.
