Pd-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Olefination: Stereoselective Synthesis of Polysubstituted Butadienes and Macrocyclic P-glycoprotein Inhibitors

The efficient and stereoselective synthesis of polysubstituted butadienes, especially the multifunctional butadienes, represents a great challenge in organic synthesis. Herein, we wish to report a distinctive Pd(0) carbene-initiated decarboxylative olefination approach that enables the direct coupling of diazo esters with vinylethylene carbonates (VECs), vinyl oxazolidinones, or vinyl benzoxazinones to afford alcohol-, amine-, or aniline-containing 1,3-dienes in moderate to high yields and with excellent stereoselectivity. This protocol features operational simplicity, mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, and gram-scalability. Notably, a structurally unique allylic Pd(II) intermediate was isolated and characterized. DFT calculation and control experiments demonstrated that a rare Pd(0) carbene intermediate could be involved in this reaction. Moreover, the polysubstituted butadienes as novel building blocks were unprecedentedly assembled into macrocycles, which efficiently inhibited the P-glycoprotein and dramatically reversed multidrug resistance in cancer cells by 190-fold.

Palladium-Catalyzed [5 + 2] Annulation of Vinylethylene Carbonates with Barbiturate-Derived Alkenes

A palladium/XantPhos-catalyzed [5 + 2] annulation of VECs with electron-deficient alkenes having an isolated carbon-carbon double bond has been developed to afford spirobarbiturate-tetrahydrooxepines. This study provides an expedient assembly of biologically interesting spirobarbiturate-tetrahydrooxepines. The easy scalability and versatile transformability of the reaction products were also exhibited.

NON-IONIC LOW DIFFUSING PHOTO-ACID GENERATORS

Non-ionic photo-acid generating (PAG) compounds were prepared that contain an aryl ketone group. The disclosed non-polymeric PAGs release a strong sulfonic acid when exposed to high energy radiation such as deep UV or extreme UV light. The photo-generated sulfonic acid has a low diffusion rate in an exposed resist layer subjected to a post-exposure bake (PEB) at 100° C. to 150° C., resulting in formation of good line patterns after development. At higher temperatures, the PAGs undergo a thermal reaction to form a sulfonic acid.

Enantioselective [3 + 2] Cycloaddition Reaction of Ethynylethylene Carbonates with Malononitrile Enabled by Organo/Metal Cooperative Catalysis

The first catalytic asymmetric decarboxylative [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of ethynylethylene carbonates with malononitrile has been developed successfully by an organo/copper cooperative system. This strategy led to a series of optically active polysu

Enantioselective Silver-Catalyzed Cascade Synthesis of Fused Lactone and Lactam Oxazolines

A new and highly stereoselective cascade reaction between isocyanoacetate esters and α-hydroxy and α-amino ketones has been developed. A cinchona alkaloid derived aminophosphine/silver(I) catalyst complex promoted the reaction and enabled the ready synthesis of fused bicyclic γ-lactone and γ-lactam oxazolines with high enantiocontrol (up to 99% ee).

Direct Aerobic Oxidative Reactions of 2-Hydroxyacetophenones

Valuable and direct aerobic oxidation reactions of 2-hydroxyacetophenones were explored. The concept was based on the in situ treatment of small quantities of aerobically formed α-keto aldehydes that drove the reactions to the corresponding products. This new strategy was applied for a variety of oxidative reactions of 2-hydroxyacetophenones, and valuable products such as phthalides, quinoxalines, and α-keto amides were obtained in good to high yields.

Dual Role of H2O2 in Palladium-Catalyzed Dioxygenation of Terminal Alkenes

A palladium-catalyzed, environmentally friendly dioxygenation reaction of simple alkenes has been developed that enabled rapid assembly of valuable α-hydroxy ketones with high atom economy. Notably, control experiments and 18O isotope-labeling experiments established that H2O2 played a dominant dual role in this transformation.

New synthetic strategy for chiral 2-oxazolidinones derivatives via rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation

Asymmetric hydrogenation of 4-substituted cyclic enamido esters catalyzed by a rhodium-TangPhos complex provides an efficient method for the synthesis of chiral 4-substituted oxazolinones with excellent yields and good enantioselectivities. The products are valuable chiral building blocks and the applications as chiral auxiliaries and pharmaceuticals are well-known.

Oxidative coupling of terminal alkyne with α-hydroxy ketone: An expedient approach toward ynediones

An efficient and mild copper-catalyzed one-pot approach toward ynediones has been established. A variety of ynediones were constructed directly through oxidative coupling of alkyne with α-hydroxy ketone. Oxygen-oxidizing and neutral conditions in one-pot for a wide range of substrates including natural product derivatives make this transformation highly efficient and practical. On the basis of control experiments, in situ IR measurements, and isotopic labeling experiments, a plausible mechanism involving intermediate phenylglyoxal was drawn. Applications by synthesis of various heterocycles were also investigated.
