Enantioselective Hydrophosphonylation of in Situ Generated N-Acyl Ketimines Catalyzed by BINOL-Derived Phosphoric Acid

An efficient route to pharmacologically interesting isoindolinone-based α-amino phosphonates is described via asymmetric hydrophosphonylation of in situ generated ketimines catalyzed by BINOL-derived phosphoric acid. The reaction proceeds smoothly at ambient temperature affording a variety of α-amino phosphonates with a quaternary stereogenic center embedded in isoindolinone motif in high yields with excellent enantiomeric ratios (up to 98.5:1.5 er). Several interesting transformations of the products into valuable synthetic intermediates are also depicted.

Testing the limits of radical-anionic CH-amination: A 10-million-fold decrease in basicity opens a new path to hydroxyisoindolines via a mixed C-N/C-O-forming cascade

An intramolecular C(sp3)-H amidation proceeds in the presence of t-BuOK, molecular oxygen, and DMF. This transformation is initiated by the deprotonation of an acidic N-H bond and selective radical activation of a benzylic C-H bond towards hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). Cyclization of this radical-anion intermediate en route to a two-centered/three-electron (2c,3e) C-N bond removes electron density from nitrogen. As this electronegative element resists such an oxidation , making nitrogen more electron rich is key to overcoming this problem. This work dramatically expands the range of N-anions that can participate in this process by using amides instead of anilines. The resulting 107-fold decrease in the N-component basicity (and nucleophilicity) doubles the activation barrier for C-N bond formation and makes this process nearly thermoneutral. Remarkably, this reaction also converts a weak reductant into a much stronger reductant. Such reductant upconversion allows mild oxidants like molecular oxygen to complete the first part of the cascade. In contrast, the second stage of NH/CH activation forms a highly stabilized radical-anion intermediate incapable of undergoing electron transfer to oxygen. Because the oxidation is unfavored, an alternative reaction path opens via coupling between the radical anion intermediate and either superoxide or hydroperoxide radical. The hydroperoxide intermediate transforms into the final hydroxyisoindoline products under basic conditions. The use of TEMPO as an additive was found to activate less reactive amides. The combination of experimental and computational data outlines a conceptually new mechanism for conversion of unprotected amides into hydroxyisoindolines proceeding as a sequence of C-H amidation and C-H oxidation.

A chiral Br?nsted acid-catalyzed highly enantioselective Mannich-type reaction of α-diazo esters with in situ generated N -acyl ketimines

A chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed asymmetric Mannich-type reaction of α-diazo esters with in situ generated N-acyl ketimines, derived from 3-hydroxyisoindolinones has been demonstrated in this communication. A variety of isoindolinone-based α-amino diazo esters bearing a quaternary stereogenic center were afforded in high yields (up to 99%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). Furthermore, the synthetic utility of the products has been depicted by the hydrogenation of the diazo moiety of adducts.

An enantioselective hydrogenolysis of 3-aryl-3-hydroxyisoindolin-1-ones under H2has been developed by using Ir(I)/(R)-MeO-Biphep complex as a catalyst. Cyclic diaryl methylamides were obtained in moderate to excellent yields and up to 92%?ee.

The enantioselective hydrogenolysis of racemic 3-aryl-3-hydroxyisoindolin- 1-ones catalyzed by BINOL-derived chiral phosphoric acid with benzothiazoline as the hydride source is described. The corresponding cyclic diaryl methylamines are obtained in good to excellent yields and up to 91% enantioselectivities.
