- Rh-Catalyzed Coupling of Aldehydes with Allylboronates Enables Facile Access to Ketones
-
We present herein a novel strategy for the preparation of ketones from aldehydes and allylic boronic esters. This reaction involves the allylation of aldehydes with allylic boronic esters and the Rh-catalyzed chain-walking of homoallylic alcohols. The key to this successful development is the protodeboronation of alkenyl borylether intermediate via a tetravalent borate anion species in the presence of KHF2 and MeOH. This approach features mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, and excellent functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies also supported that the tandem allylation and chain-walking process were involved.

- Stereoconvergent and -divergent synthesis of tetrasubstituted alkenes by nickel-catalyzed cross-couplings
-
We report the development of a method to diastereoselectively access tetrasubstituted alkenes via nickel-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings of enol tosylates and boronic acid esters. Either diastereomeric product was selectively accessed from a mixture of enol tosylate starting material diastereomers in a convergent reaction by judicious choice of the ligand and reaction conditions. A similar protocol also enabled a divergent synthesis of each product isomer from diastereomerically pure enol tosylates. Notably, high-throughput optimization of the monophosphine ligands was guided by chemical space analysis of the kraken library to ensure a diverse selection of ligands was examined. Stereoelectronic analysis of the results provided insight into the requirements for reactive and selective ligands in this transformation. The synthetic utility of the optimized catalytic system was then probed in the stereoselective synthesis of various tetrasubstituted alkenes, with yields up to 94% and diastereomeric ratios up to 99:1 Z/E and 93:7 E/Z observed. Moreover, a detailed computational analysis and experimental mechanistic studies provided key insights into the nature of the underlying isomerization process impacting selectivity in the cross-coupling.

- Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of highly sterically congested enol carbamates with grignard reagents via c-o bond activation
-
The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of enol carbamates to construct highly sterically congested alkenyl compounds is presented for the first time. This protocol demonstrates the potential of using thermally stable and highly atom-economic enol electrophiles as building blocks in bulky alkene synthesis. This reaction accommodates a broad substrate scope with excellent Z/E isomer ratios, which also provides a new synthetic pathway for accessing Tamoxifen.

- Divergent Synthetic Access to E- and Z-Stereodefined All-Carbon-Substituted Olefin Scaffolds: Application to Parallel Synthesis of (E)- and (Z)-Tamoxifens
-
A highly substrate-general synthesis of all-carbon-substituted E- and Z-stereodefined olefins is performed. The method comprises two sets of parallel and stereocomplementary preparations of (E)- and (Z)-α,β-unsaturated esters involving two robust and distinctive reactions: 1) stereocomplementary enol tosylations using readily available TsCl/diamine/(LiCl) base reagents, and 2) stereoretentive Negishi cross-coupling using the catalysts [Pd(dppe)Cl2] (for E) and [Pd(dppb)Cl2] (for Z). The present parallel approach is categorized as both type I (convergent approach: 16 examples, 56–87 % yield) and type II (divergent approach: 18 examples, 70–95 % yield). The obtained (E)- and (Z)-α,β-unsaturated ester scaffolds are successfully transformed into various E- and Z-stereodefined known and novel olefins (8×2 derivatization arrays). As a demonstration, application to the parallel synthesis of both (E)- and (Z)-tamoxifens, a representative motif of all-carbon-substituted olefins, is accomplished in a total of eight steps with an overall yield of 58 % (average 93 %) and 57 % (average 93 %), respectively.

- Photochemical Activation of Tertiary Amines for Applications in Studying Cell Physiology
-
Representative tertiary amines were linked to the 8-cyano-7-hydroxyquinolinyl (CyHQ) photoremovable protecting group (PPG) to create photoactivatable forms suitable for use in studying cell physiology. The photoactivation of tamoxifen and 4-hydroxytamoxifen, which can be used to activate Cre recombinase and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, demonstrated that highly efficient release of bioactive molecules could be achieved through one- and two-photon excitation (1PE and 2PE). CyHQ-protected anilines underwent a photoaza-Claisen rearrangement instead of releasing amines. Time-resolved spectroscopic studies revealed that photorelease of the tertiary amines was extremely fast, occurring from a singlet excited state of CyHQ on the 70 ps time scale.

The α-arylation of enolizable aryl ketones can be carried out with aryl halides under transition-metal-free conditions using KOtBu in DMF. The α-aryl ketones thus obtained can be used for step- and cost-economic syntheses of fused heterocycles and Tamoxifen. Mechanistic studies demonstrate the synergetic role of base and solvent for the initiation of the radical process.

We describe a regioselective diborylation of primary benzylic C-H bonds catalyzed by [Ir(COD)OMe]2 and 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′- bipyridine (dtbpy). The hydrosilyl group acts as a traceless directing group, providing access to a range of 1,1-benzyldiboronate esters in good yields. Transformations of the 1,1-benzyldiboronate ester products include chemoselective Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings and synthesis of tetrasubstituted alkenyl boronate esters.

- Continuous flow-processing of organometallic reagents using an advanced peristaltic pumping system and the telescoped flow synthesis of (E/Z)-tamoxifen
-
A new enabling technology for the pumping of organometallic reagents such as n-butyllithium, Grignard reagents, and DIBAL-H is reported, which utilises a newly developed, chemically resistant, peristaltic pumping system. Several representative examples of its use in common transformations using these reagents, including metal-halogen exchange, addition, addition-elimination, conjugate addition, and partial reduction, are reported along with examples of telescoping of the anionic reaction products. This platform allows for truly continuous pumping of these highly reactive substances (and examples are demonstrated over periods of several hours) to generate multigram quantities of products. This work culminates in an approach to the telescoped synthesis of (E/Z)-tamoxifen using continuous-flow organometallic reagent-mediated transformations.

- Oxidative heck arylation for the stereoselective synthesis of tetrasubstituted olefins using nitroxides as oxidants

One, two, and three! Nitroxides and dioxygen serve as oxidants in highly stereoselective oxidative Pd-catalyzed Heck arylations in which aryl boronic acids are used to synthesize triarylalkyl-substituted olefins. The reactions occur under very mild conditions at room temperature. As an example, the threefold sequential arylation of methyl acrylate is the crucial step in the stereoselective synthesis of Z-Tamoxifen.

- Trans-stilbene as a starting material for the synthesis of tamoxifen based on palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions
-
(Z)-Tamoxifen was synthesized from a simple olefin (trans-stilbene) in 5 steps and 40% overall yield (Z/E = 74:26). The phenyl substituted group (4-Me2NCH2CH2OC6H4) was attached by a bromination-dehydrobromination-Suzuki reaction sequence. Subsequently, the ethyl group was attached to the triarylated olefin by a bromination-Negishi reaction sequence. Both the Suzuki and Negishi cross-coupling processes are stereospecific, and the stereo-selectivity depends only on the bromination-dehydrobromination reactions. (Z)-Tamoxifen was also obtained from trans-stilbene in only 3 steps by using Heck reaction-bromination- Negishi reaction sequence in 57% overall yield (Z/E = 65:35). Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

- An expeditious synthesis of tamoxifen, a representative SERM (selective estrogen receptor modulator), via the three-component coupling reaction among aromatic aldehyde, cinnamyltrimethylsilane, and β-chlorophenetole
-
Two new synthetic pathways to the anti-cancer agent tamoxifen and its derivatives were developed. The first route involved the aldol reaction of benzyl phenyl ketone with acetaldehyde followed by Friedel-Crafts substitution with anisole in the presence of Cl2Si(OTf)2 to produce 1,1,2-triaryl-3-acetoxybutane, a precursor of the tamoxifen derivatives. The second one utilized the novel three-component coupling reaction among aromatic aldehydes, cinnamyltrimethylsilane, and aromatic nucleophiles using HfCl4 as a Lewis acid catalyst to produce 3,4,4-triarylbutene, that is also a valuable intermediate of the tamoxifen derivatives. The former strategy requires a total of 10 steps from the aldol formation to the final conversion to tamoxifen, whereas the latter needs only three or four steps to produce tamoxifen and droloxifene including the installation of the side-chain moiety and the base-induced double-bond migration to form the tetra-substituted olefin structure. This synthetic strategy seems to serve as a new and practical pathway to prepare not only the tamoxifen derivatives but also the other SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators) including estrogen-dependent breast cancer and osteoporosis agents.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Carbolithiation of diphenylacetylene can be exploited to generate (E)-1-lithio-1,2-diphenylalkyl-1-enes which can be reacted in situ with triisopropylborate to stereoselectively provide (E)-1,2-diphenyl-1-alkylene boronic acids. These tetrasubstituted vinylboronic acids served as versatile intermediates for the generation of tetrasubstituted olefins with retention of stereochemistry. The application of this method for the stereoselective synthesis of (Z)-tamoxifen and related analogues is described.

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of 1,1-diboryl-1-alkenes with aryl and alkenyl iodides was found to proceed stereoselectively, giving rise to the corresponding mono-coupled product as a single diastereomer with E-configuration. Second coupling of the initial product with another aryl iodide affords diverse triarylalkenes in their stereochemically pure form. This highly stereoselective approach for triarylalkenes allows one to synthesize both diastereomers in one pot from 1,1-diboryl-1-alkenes. Copyright

A general synthetic scheme for tamoxifen-type tetrasubstituted olefins based on the novel Cu-catalyzed carbomagnesation across alkynyl(2-pyridyl)silane has been developed. A wide array of electronically and structurally diverse tetrasubstituted olefins can be prepared in a regiocontrolled, stereo-controlled, and diversity-oriented manner. Noteworthy features are that (i) the three aryl groups, which are believed to be important (essential) for anti-estrogenic activity, can be varied at will because they all stem from readily available aryl iodides, and (ii) any stereo- and regioisomers can, in principle, be prepared by simply changing the order use of the aryl iodides in the sequence.

Acid-catalysed dehydration of either diastereoisomer of a 1-(p-alkoxyphenyl)-1,2-diphenylbutan-1-ol gives mainly the Z isomer of the but-1-ene via a common carbenium ion intermediate that can be regenerated by protonation of the (Z)- or (E)-butene with fluorosulphonic acid.Highly stereoselective syn eliminations were achieved by treatment of the butan-1-ols with base and carbon disulphide but dehydrations using N,N,N-triethylammonio-N'-methoxycarbonylsulphamidate proceeded mainly via a carbenium ion.Aspects of the stereoselectivity of the reactions are discussed.The methods can be applied to give simple stereoselective syntheses of the anti-cancer drug tamoxifen.
