Synthesis of Six-Membered Spiro Azacyclic Oxindole Derivatives via a One-Pot Process of Umpolung Allylation/Aza-Prins Cyclization

An unprecedented synthetic approach involving umpolung allylation/aza-Prins cyclization of N-2,2,2-trifluoroethylisatin ketimines is described. The reactions proceed smoothly with allyl bromide in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, H2O, and trimethylsilyl bromide; this one-pot protocol allows access to six-membered spiro azacyclic oxindole derivatives in good to excellent yields. Notably, while the general aza-Prins cyclization involves amines and aldehydes, the present synthetic strategy represents the first aza-Prins cyclization that utilizes the umpolung property of N-2,2,2-trifluoroethylisatin ketimines.

Experimental and Computational Studies of Palladium-Catalyzed Spirocyclization via a Narasaka-Heck/C(sp3or sp2)-H Activation Cascade Reaction

The first synthesis of highly strained spirocyclobutane-pyrrolines via a palladium-catalyzed tandem Narasaka-Heck/C(sp3 or sp2)-H activation reaction is reported here. The key step in this transformation is the activation of a δ-C-H bond via an in situ generated σ-alkyl-Pd(II) species to form a five-membered spiro-palladacycle intermediate. The concerted metalation-deprotonation (CMD) process, rate-determining step, and energy barrier of the entire reaction were explored by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Moreover, a series of control experiments was conducted to probe the rate-determining step and reversibility of the C(sp3)-H activation step.

Visible-light-promoted radical alkylation/cyclization of allylic amide with N-hydroxyphthalimide ester: Synthesis of oxazolines

An efficient photocatalytic alkylation/cyclization of allylic amide with N-hydroxyphthalimide ester has been developed. The transformation is taken advantage of alkyl radicals to attack allylic amide with the assist of inexpensive rose bengal as photocatalyst to prepare a series of alkyl substituted oxazolines in moderate to excellent yields. High regioselectivity, operational safety, mild conditions and excellent substrate generality give this protocol broad application prospects.

Pd-Catalyzed Asymmetric Acyl-Carbamoylation of an Alkene to Construct an α-Quaternary Chiral Cycloketone

Herein, we report the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric acyl-carbamoylation of an alkene by employing thioesters as the acyl electrophiles and t-BuNC as the carbamoyl reagent, affording an α-quaternary chiral cycloketone in synthetically useful yields with excellent enantioselectivity. The reaction proceeded via asymmetric 1,2-migratory insertions of acyl-Pd into alkenes and subsequent migratory insertion of isocyanides into C(sp3)-PdII. The product could be diversified to some valuable skeletons with retention of enantiopurity, demonstrating the synthetic utility of this protocol.

Intermolecular Aminoallylation of Alkenes Using Allyl-Oxyphthalimide Derivatives: A Case Study in Radical Polarity Effects

A case study on the polarity effects of radical mediated intermolecular alkene aminoallylation is presented herein. This radical group transfer method pairs vinyl ethers with electronically deficient allyl-oxyphthalimide derivatives to give difunctionalized products while illustrating the guiding effects of polarity on this radical reactivity.

Sulfonylative alkoxyhydroxylation of 2-arylpropenes

One-pot three-step sulfonylative alkoxyhydroxylation of 2-arylpropenes 1 affords oxygenated sulfonylcumenes 4 in moderate yields via a sequential route: (i) NBS-mediated allylic bromination of 2-arylpropenes 1 in CH2Cl2, (ii) sodium sulfinates 2-promoted nucleophilic substitution of the resulting styryl bromides in a co-solvent of alcohol and water, and (iii) V2O5/H2O2 mediated alkoxyhydroxylation of corresponding styryl sulfones 3 in alcohol. The synthetic route provides a highly effective protocol for the 1,2,3-tricarbofunctionalization of 2-arylpropenes 1 via two carbon-oxygen and one carbon-sulfur bond formations.

Cyclopropanation/Carboboration Reactions of Enynes with B(C6F5)3

Stoichiometric reaction of B(C6F5)3 with 1,6-enynes is shown to proceed via initial cyclopropanation and formal 1,1-carboboration. Depending on the substitution on the alkene moiety, subsequent ring-opening of the cyclopro

Solvent-dependent enantiodivergence in the chlorocyclization of unsaturated carbamates

A remarkable solvent-controlled enantiodivergence is seen in the hydroquinidine 1,4-phthalazinediyl diether ((DHQD)2PHAL)-catalyzed chlorocyclization of unsaturated carbamates. Eyring plot analyses of this previously unreported reaction are used to probe and compare the R- and S-selective pathways. In the CHCl3/hexanes solvent system, the pro-R process shows a surprising increase in selectivity with increasing temperature. These studies point to a strongly solvent-dependent entropy-enthalpy balance between the pro-R and pro-S pathways. Two solvents, two enantiomers: Enantiodivergent hydroquinidine 1,4-phthalazinediyl diether ((DHQD) 2PHAL)-catalyzed chlorocyclization of unsaturated carbamates, controlled solely by the choice of solvent, yields oxazolidinones in high enantioselectivity (see scheme; DCDMH=1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethyl hydantoin). The origin of the observed enantiodivergence is traced back to a solvent-selected entropy-enthalpy balance between pro-R and pro-S pathways that dictates the course of the reaction. Copyright

Highly enantioselective Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation of β,γ- unsaturated phosphonates with chiral ferrocene-based monophosphoramidite ligands
