- Kinetically Controlled Radical Addition/Elimination Cascade: From Alkynyl Aziridine to Fluorinated Allenes
-
A kinetically controlled radical addition/elimination reaction generating fluorinated allenes was developed. This strategy offers a route to a facile synthesis of diverse trifluoromethyl, difluoromethylene, and perfluoroalkyl functionalized allenes from readily available fluoroalkyl halides and alkynyl aziridines under visible-light irradiation. Density functional theory calculation of this radical clock type of reaction revealed a kinetically controlled C-N bond cleavage overcoming the alternative thermodynamically controlled C-C bond cleavage process.

- Enantioselective Cleavage of Cyclobutanols Through Ir-Catalyzed C?C Bond Activation: Mechanistic and Synthetic Aspects
-
The Ir-catalyzed conversion of prochiral tert-cyclobutanols to β-methyl-substituted ketones proceeds under comparably mild conditions in toluene (45–110 °C) and is particularly suited for the enantioselective desymmetrization of β-oxy-substituted substrates to give products with a quaternary chirality center with up to 95 % ee using DTBM-SegPhos as a chiral ligand. Deuteration experiments and kinetic isotope effect measurements revealed major mechanistic differences to related RhI-catalyzed transformations. Supported by DFT calculations we propose the initial formation of an IrIII hydride intermediate, which then undergoes a β-C elimination (C?C bond activation) prior to reductive C?H elimination. The computational model also allows the prediction of the stereochemical outcome. The Ir-catalyzed cyclobutanol cleavage is broadly applicable but fails for substrates bearing strongly coordinating groups. The method is of particular value for the stereo-controlled synthesis of substituted chromanes related to the tocopherols and other natural products.

- Iron-Catalyzed [2+2+2] Annulation of Aliphatic Bridged 1,n-Enynes with Aldehydes for the Synthesis of Fused Pyrans
-
An iron-catalyzed [2+2+2] annulation of aliphatic bridged 1,n-enynes with aldehydes was developed. Aldehydes play a dual role as the precursors of acyl radicals to trigger the cascade cyclization but also as the radical acceptors to terminate the annulation. This two-in-one strategy overcomes the limitation in [2+2+m] cyclization that requires a rigid benzene skeleton as the essential linker, thus enabling the efficient synthesis of functionalized fused [5.6] and [6.6] pyran skeletons.

- A cyclization-rearrangement cascade for the synthesis of structurally complex chiral gold(I)-aminocarbene complexes
-
A facile synthesis of chiral cyclic alkyl aminocarbene-gold(I) complexes from gold-free 1,7-enyne substrates was developed. The novel cyclization-rearrangement reaction sequence is triggered by the addition of (Me2S)AuCl to different 1,7-enynes and leads to structurally unique carbene-gold(I) complexes in high yields. These novel complexes are catalytically active and inhibit the proliferation of different human cancer cell lines.

- Studies towards the identification of the sex pheromone of Thyrinteina arnobia
-
The eucalyptus brown-looper Thyrinteina arnobia (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) is considered an important pest in Brazilian native plants, e.g. Psidium guajava, and exotic plants, such as Eucalyptus species. In this work we describe the isolation of the pheromone components of T. arnobia, using glands extract and solid phase micro extraction (SPME) of virgin females. The samples were analyzed by gas chromatography with an electroantennographic detector (GC-EAD), and mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Two reproducible electroantennographic responses were elicited in the male antenna of T. arnobia and one of them was identified as 3,4-epoxy-6,9-heneicosadiene by CG-MS. The racemic synthesis of this epoxydiene was carried out in 10 steps and 28percent overall yield. The four stereoisomers of the epoxydiene were also synthesized employing the corresponding enantiomeric enriched epoxyalcohols.

- Bifunctional iron complexes: Efficient catalysts for C=O and C=N reduction in water
-
The application of bifunctional iron complexes for the hydrogenation of polarized C=X bonds is reported. Two modified Knoelker complexes bearing ionic fragments were synthesized and fully characterized. With these well-defined complexes, the reaction proceeded under mild conditions in pure water, and various alcohols and amines were isolated in good yields. Compared with hydrogenation in organic solvents, better reactivities were observed. Is this the iron age? Well-defined iron-complex-catalyzed reduction of aldehydes, ketones, and imines using molecular hydrogen in water is presented. Under mild conditions, good yields for a broad range of substrates are achieved.

- ROMP copolymers for orthogonal click functionalizations
-
The ring-opening metathesis polymerization using ruthenium carbene initiators developed by Grubbs et al. is one of the most functional group tolerant living polymerization methods known. One of the most used postpolymerization functionalization methods used today is the copper-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between alkynes and organic azides. Organic azides are, however, not tolerated by ruthenium carbene initiators, and nonprotected alkynes have been shown to slow down the propagation reaction or react with the propagating species leading to broad molecular weight distributions. Here we report the copolymer synthesis of three orthogonally functionalizable monomers: one carrying an activated pentafluorophenyl ester, one a maleimide unit, and a third one a trialkylsilyl-protected alkyne. From these monomers, statistical terpolymers as well as diblock copolymers were synthesized with different molecular weights and monomer compositions or block ratios, respectively. Excellent control over molecular weight and molecular weight distribution could be achieved using Grubbs' first-generation ruthenium carbene initiator. Herein we present the synthesis and orthogonal triple postpolymerization functionalization of these copolymers.

- Lactone radical cyclizations and cyclization cascades mediated by SmI 2-H2O
-
Unsaturated lactones undergo reductive radical cyclizations upon treatment with SmI2-H2O to give decorated cycloheptanes in a single highly selective operation during which up to three contiguous stereocenters are generated. Furthermore, cascade processes involving lactones bearing two alkenes, an alkene and an alkyne, or an allene and an alkene allow "one-pot" access to biologically significant molecular scaffolds with the construction of up to four contiguous stereocenters. The cyclizations proceed by the trapping of radical anions formed by electron transfer reduction of the lactone carbonyl.

The coupling of the homocuprate of the bislactim ether of cyclo-(-L-Val-Gly-) (9) with primary propargyl halides produces the allenyl-substituted bislactim ethers 11 in a highly diastereoselective manner, whereas the alkylation of the lith-iated bislactim ether of cyclo-(-L-Val-Gly-) yields the proparg-yl-substituted bislactim ethers 12. Subsequent hydrolysis affords, after protection of the amino group, the methyl α- allenylglycinates 15, the α-allenylglycines 16, and the methyl α-propargylglycinates 17.

- Facile construction of spirocyclopropanated bi-, tri- and tetracyclic skeletons by novel cascades involving intra- and intermolecular heck reactions of 2-bromo-1,6-enynes and bicyclopropylidene
-
Acyclic 2-bromo-1,6-enynes 5-R, 9-R and 11-R with bulky substituents at the acetylenic terminus were co-cyclized with the highly strained bicyclopropylidene (12) under palladium catalysis at 80 °C to give the cross-conjugated tetraenes 13-R, 18-R and 19-R in moderate-to-good yields (34-71%). Only the co-cyclization of 5-Ph gave rise to an additional product, which was identified as the 11-membered ring 20. At elevated temperatures (120-140 °C) the initially formed tetraenes underwent 6π- electrocyclization to give spiro[cyclopropane-1,4′-bicylo[4.3.0]-1(6),2- dienes] 21-R, 22-R and 23-R. This novel class of spirocyclopropanated oligocycles is also accessible by a one-pot protocol. The highest yields for both the tetraenes and bicyclo[4.3.0]nonadiene and its heteroanalogues were obtained with bulky substituents at the alkyne terminus of the precursors. Heteroatom-containing precursors 9-R and H-R gave lower yields than their all-carbon analogues 5-R. The acyclic 2-bromo-1,8-dien-6-ynes 28a,b,c upon palladium-catalyzed co-cyclization with bicyclopropylidene (12) at 110 °C gave spirocyclopropanated tricycles 31a,b and 32, respectively, in moderate yields (14, 31 and 32%). These products were formed by two consecutive 6π-electrocyclizations. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005.

A reagent combination of β-SnO and catalytic [Rh(COD)Cl]2 in THF-H2O promotes the reaction of propargyl bromides and aldehydes and directs the regioselectivity toward the formation of either allenic alcohols or homopropargylic alcohols. This highly regioselective either/or transformation proceeds via a transmetalation from rhodium to tin, in which metallotropic rearrangement between a propargylmetal and allenylmetal is arrested.

- The aza-[2,3]-Wittig sigmatropic rearrangement of acyclic amines: Scope and limitations of silicon assistance
-
The inclusion of a C-2 trialkylsilyl substituent into allylic amine precursors allows the base-induced aza-[2,3]-Wittig sigmatropic rearrangement to proceed in excellent yield and diastereoselectivity. The rearrangement precursors require a carbonyl-based nitrogen protecting group that must be stable to excess of strong base required for the reaction. The N-Boc and N-benzoyl group are very good at stabilizing the product anion and initiating deprotonation. The migrating groups (G) need to stabilize the intial anion by resonance and require G-CH3 pKa > 22 in order for the initial anion to be reactive enough for rearrangement. Products 7, 29b-d,f,g, and 23 are formed with high (10-20:1) anti diastereoselectivity. Product 23 containing the morpholine amide group is useful for preparing other carbonyl derivatives.

- Convergent synthetic routes to orthogonally fused conjugated oligomers directed toward molecular scale electronic device applications
-
This paper describes the synthetic organic phase of a project directed toward the construction of molecular scale electronic devices. Outlined is a convergent synthetic route to orthogonally fused conjugated organic oligomers. The final systems are to have a potentially conducting chain fused perpendicularly to a second potentially conducting chain via a a bonded network. One of the core segments synthesized is based on a spirobithiophene moiety with a central silicon atom. It is formed by a zirconium-promoted bis(bicyclization) of a tetrapropargylsilane. The second core is a 9,9′-spirobifluorene system. Terminal halide groups provide the linkage points for further extension of the chains via Pd-catalyzed or Pd/Cu-catalyzed cross coupling methods. All four branching arms are affixed to the core in a single operation, thus making the syntheses highly convergent. In the cases of the larger functionalized systems, alkyl substituents on the thiophenes afford soluble materials. In order to prepare the molecules with > 50 A lengths, an iterative divergent/convergent approach had to be utilized for the construction of oligo(thiophene-ethynylene) branching arms. Organopalladium-catalyzed procedures are used extensively for the syntheses of the orthogonally fused compounds.

-
The stereochemical structure necessary for preparation of perpendicularly arranged cores is provided by a compound of the formula STR1 wherein X is a reactive group through which polymeric subunits can be bonded to the compound. In particular, X is advantageously Br. This compound can be synthesized by the reaction of tetrakis(3'-trimethylsilyl-2'-propynyl)silane with zirconocene dichloride and n-butyllithium and adding sulfur monochloride to the reaction product. This produces an adduct in which X is SiMe3. This adduct may be converted to the bromo compound by reaction with bromine. The tetrakis(3'-trimethylsilyl-2-propynyl)silane may be prepared by forming a magnesium Grignard reagent from 3-bromo-1-trimethylsilylpropyne and reacting the Grignard reagent with silicon tetrachloride.

- On the Double Bond Isostere of the Peptide Bond: Preparation of an Enkephalin Analogue
-
Methodology for preparing dipeptide analogues in which a carbon -carbon double bond replaces the normal amide bond is described.Thus, the protected tyrosylglycine analogue, (S)-trans-5-t-butyloxycarbonylamino-6-(4-t-butoxyphenyl)hex-3-enoic acid has been synthesised and incorporated into the Leu-enkephalin analogue (3) by condensation with glycylphenylalanyl-leucine.The enkephalin analogue retained biological activity.The significance of this isosteric replacement of the amide group is discussed.

- A Vinylsilane Route of (+/-)-Gymnomitrol
-
Gymnomitrol, a sesquiterpenic alcohol of unusual structure, has been synthesized in an efficient and stereoselective manner.Selective ketalization of the bicyclooctanedione (4), followed by Wolf-Kishner reduction and deketalization, afforded the Cs symmetric ketone 5.Methylenation with paraformaldehyde and N-methylanilinium trifluoroacetate gave the exocyclic methylene derivative (6) which entered into copper-catalyzed 1,4 addition with the Grignard reagent from (E)-2-(bromovinyl)trimethylsilane and subsequent in situ methylation to deliver 12 in 66percent yield.Epoxidation and dilute acid hydrolysis of this intermediate furnished hydroxy ketone 15 directly.The coproducts 14a and 14b could also be converted to 15 which was oxidized to diketone 16.The final stages of the synthesis involved regioselective addition of methyllithium to 16, dehydration of the tertiary carbinol fuctionality, and ultimate lithium aluminium hydride reduction.
