Wu,Kover

A new one-step synthesis of α-allyl or α-(2-haloallyl) aryl- or heteroarylketones from the corresponding ketones via the Claisen rearrangement is described.
A synthetic approach to 5/5/6-polycyclic tetramate macrolactams of the discodermide type
Bodenschatz, Kevin,St?ckl, Julia,Winterer, Markus,Schobert, Rainer

A flexible synthetic route to the 16-membered tetramate-embedding macrocyclic scaffold present in various polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PTMs) was developed which differs from the seminal synthesis of ikarugamycin by Boeckman Jr. in protecting groups and the order of connections. We also devised a short approach to various stereoisomers of the 5/5/6-tricarbocyclic motif found in discodermide and other PTMs, starting from the Weiss’ diketone.
Carbonyl 1,2-transposition through triflate-mediated a-amination

To date, it remains challenging to selectively migrate a carbonyl oxygen within a given molecular scaffold, especially to an adjacent carbon. In this work, we describe a simple one- or two-pot protocol that transposes a ketone to the vicinal carbon. This approach first converts the ketone to the corresponding alkenyl triflate, which can then undergo the palladium- and norbornene-catalyzed regioselective a-amination and ipso-hydrogenation enabled by a bifunctional hydrogen and nitrogen donor. The resulting "transposed enamine" intermediate can subsequently be hydrolyzed to produce the 1,2-carbonyl-migrated product. This method allows rapid access to unusual bioactive analogs through late-stage functionalization.
Atroposelective Synthesis of Axially Chiral N-Arylpyrroles by Chiral-at-Rhodium Catalysis

A transformation of fluxional into configurationally stable axially chiral N-arylpyrroles was achieved with a highly atroposelective electrophilic aromatic substitution catalyzed by a chiral-at-metal rhodium Lewis acid. Specifically, N-arylpyrroles were alkylated with N-acryloyl-1H-pyrazole electrophiles in up to 93 percent yield and with up to >99.5 percent ee, and follow-up conversions reveal the synthetic utility of this new method. DFT calculations elucidate the origins of the observed excellent atroposelectivity.

The α-alkylation of ketones is a fundamental synthetic transformation. The development of asymmetric variants of this reaction is important given that numerous natural products, drugs, and related compounds exist as α-functionalized ketones or derivatives thereof. We previously reported our preliminary studies on the development of a new enantioselective ketone α-alkylation procedure using N-amino cyclic carbamate (ACC) auxiliaries. In comparison to other auxiliary-based methods, ACC alkylation offers a number of advantages and is both highly enantioselective and high yielding. Herein, we provide a full account of our studies on the enantioselective ACC ketone α-alkylation method.
Reactivity of Lithium β-Ketocarboxylates: The Role of Lithium Salts
Berton, Mateo,Mello, Rossella,Williard, Paul G.,González-Nú?ez, María Elena
, p. 17414 - 17420 (2017/12/15)
Lithium β-ketocarboxylates 1(COOLi), prepared by the reaction of lithium enolates 2(Li+) with carbon dioxide, readily undergo decarboxylative disproportionation in THF solution unless in the presence of lithium salts, in which case they are indefinitely stable at room temperature in inert atmosphere. The availability of stable THF solutions of lithium β-ketocarboxylates 1(COOLi) in the absence of carbon dioxide allowed reactions to take place with nitrogen bases and alkyl halides 3 to give α-alkyl ketones 1(R) after acidic hydrolysis. The sequence thus represents the use of carbon dioxide as a removable directing group for the selective monoalkylation of lithium enolates 2(Li+). The roles of lithium salts in preventing the disproportionation of lithium β-ketocarboxylates 1(COOLi) and in determining the course of the reaction with bases and alkyl halides 3 are discussed.
First chemo-enzymatic synthesis of the (R)-Taniguchi lactone and substrate profiles of CAMO and OTEMO, two new Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenases

Abstract: This study investigates the substrate profile of cycloalkanone monooxygenase and 2-oxo-Δ3-4,5,5-trimethylcyclopentenylacetyl-coenzyme A monooxygenase, two recently discovered enzymes of the Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase family, used as whole-cell biocatalysts. Biooxidations of a diverse set of ketones were performed on analytical scale: desymmetrization of substituted prochiral cyclobutanones and cyclohexanones, regiodivergent oxidation of terpenones and bicyclic ketones, as well as kinetic resolution of racemic cycloketones. We demonstrated the applicability of the title enzymes in the enantioselective synthesis of (R)-(?)-Taniguchi lactone, a building block for the preparation of various natural product analogs such as ent-quinine.

The development of an efficient chemoenzymatic route for the synthesis of optically active dihydroxy cyclopenta[b]naphthalenones; (+)-1,4a-dihydroxy-4a,5,6,7,8,8a,9,9a-octahydro-1H-cyclopenta[b]naphthalen-2(4H)-one (+)-10 and (+)-1,8a-dihydroxy-4a,5,6,7,8,8a,9,9a-octahydro-1H-cyclopenta[b]naphthalen-2(4H)-one (+)-11 is described. Different lipases and esterases were tested in the enzymatic hydrolysis of the corresponding acetates (±)-4a-hydroxy-2-oxo-2,4,4a,5,6,7,8,8a,9,9a-decahydro-1H-cyclopenta[b]naphthalen-1-yl acetate (±)-8, (±)-8a-hydroxy-2-oxo-2,4,4a,5,6,7,8,8a,9,9a-decahydro-1H-cyclopenta[b]naphthalen-1-yl acetate (±)-9, CRL (Candida Rugosa Lipase) and PLE (Pig Liver Esterase) were found to be the most effectual enzymes; for (?)-8 by 47% ee with the corresponding dihydroxy; (+)-10 by 98% ee in the presence of CRL; whereas, (?)-8 was obtained with 40% ee with the corresponding dihydroxy, (+)-10 with 58% ee in the PLE hydrolysis. It was concluded that CRL was the best biocatalyst for the substrate (±)-8. Moreover, enzymatic resolution in the presence of CRL yields, (?)-9 with 46% ee with the corresponding dihydroxy derivative; (+)-11 with 98% ee; however, in the presence of PLE, yields (?)-9 with 36% ee as well as the related dihydroxy derivative; (+)-11 with 49% ee respectively. The study concluded that CRL is the best biocatalyst for compounds (±)-8 and (±)-9.
Direct palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylations of alcohols with enamines: Synthesis of homoallyl ketones
Bouhalleb, Ghalia,Mhasni, Olfa,Poli, Giovanni,Rezgui, Farhat
, p. 2525 - 2529 (2017/06/13)
An efficient, direct nucleophilic allylic substitution of α-, β- and γ-substituted alcohols with enamines, using the Pd(OAc)2/PPh3 catalyst system and ZnBr2 as a promoter in CH2Cl2 at reflux, is reported. The reaction course was dependent on the steric hindrance at the α- or γ-positions with respect to the functionalized α-carbon, selectively affording in moderate to good yields, α- or γ-homoallyl ketones, the so-called “linear” and “branched” products, respectively.
Selective Synthesis of Cyclooctanoids by Radical Cyclization of Seven-Membered Lactones: Neutron Diffraction Study of the Stereoselective Deuteration of a Chiral Organosamarium Intermediate
Just-Baringo, Xavier,Clark, Jemma,Gutmann, Matthias J.,Procter, David J.
, p. 12499 - 12502 (2016/10/13)
Seven-membered lactones undergo selective SmI2–H2O-promoted radical cyclization to form substituted cyclooctanols. The products arise from an exo-mode of cyclization rather than the usual endo-attack employed in the few radical syntheses of cyclooctanes. The process is terminated by the quenching of a chiral benzylic samarium. A labeling experiment and neutron diffraction study have been used for the first time to probe the configuration and highly diastereoselective deuteration of a chiral organosamarium intermediate.
