Tsuji-Wacker-Type Oxidation beyond Methyl Ketones: Reacting Unprotected Carbohydrate-Based Terminal Olefins through the "uemura System" to Hemiketals and α,β-Unsaturated Diketones
Runeberg, Patrik A.,Eklund, Patrik C.
, p. 8145 - 8148 (2019)
Aerobic Pd(AcO)2/pyridine-catalyzed oxidation of unprotected carbohydrate-based terminal alkenes was studied. In accordance with previous reports, the initial reaction step gave methyl ketones. However, our substrates partially gave subsequent α,β-water elimination and alcohol oxidation to α,β-unsaturated 2,5-diketones. Upon increasing the pressure of O2, the reaction was shifted toward formation of α,β-epoxy-2-ketones. The reactions were stereoselective and gave up to quantitative conversions. However, isolated yields were substantially lower because of the complexity of the product mixtures.

Such an asymmetric -Wittig variant that is both highly enantio- and erythro-selective is described within the context of the chiral synthesis of the insect pheromones, (3S,4S)-4-methyl-3-heptanol and (S)-4-methyl-3-heptanone.

We describe the highly selective palladium catalyzed kinetic resolutions of the racemic cyclic allylic carbonates rac-1a-c and racemic acyclic allylic carbonates rac-3aa and rac-3ba through reaction with tert-butylsulfinate, tolylsulfinate, phenylsulfinate anions and 2-pyrimidinethiol by using N,N′-(1R,2R)-1,2-cyclohexanediylbis[2-(di-phenylphosphino)-benzamide] (BPA) as ligand. Selectivities are expressed in yields and ee values of recovered substrate and product and in selectivity factors S. The reaction of the cyclohexenyl carbonate 1a (≥99% ee) with 2-pyrimidinethiol in the presence of BPA was shown to exhibit, under the conditions used, an overall pseudo-zero order kinetics in regard to the allylic substrate. Also described are the highly selective palladium catalyzed asymmetric syntheses of the cyclic and acyclic allylic tert-butylsulfones 2aa, 2b, 2c, 2d and 4 a - c, respectively, and of the cyclic and acyclic allylic 2-pyrimidyl-, 2-pyridyl-, and 4-chlorophenylsulfides 5aa, 5b, 5ab, 6aa - ac, 6ba and 6bb, respectively, from the corresponding racemic carbonates and sulfinate anions and thiols, respectively, in the presence of BPA. Synthesis of the E-configured allylic sulfides 6aa, 6ab, 6ac and 6bb was accompanied by the formation of minor amounts of the corresponding Z isomers. The analogous synthesis of allylic tert-butylsulfides from allylic carbonates and tert-butylthiol by using BPA could not be achieved. Reaction of the cyclopentenyl esters rac-1da and rac-1db with 2-pyrimidinethiol gave the allylic sulfide 5c having only a low ee value. Similar results were obtained in the case of the reaction of the cyclohexenyl carbonate rac-1a and of the acyclic carbonates rac-3aa and rac-3ba with 2-pyridinethiol and lead to the formation of the sulfides 5 ab, 6 ab, and 6 bb, respectively. The low ee values may be ascribed to the operating of a "memory effect", that is, both enantiomers of the substrate give the substitution product with different enantioselectivities. However, in the reaction of the racemic carbonate rac-1 a as well as of the highly enriched enantiomers la (≥99% ee) and ent-1a (≥99% ee) with 2-pyrimidinethiol the ee values of the substrates and the substitution product remained constant until complete conversion. Similar results were obtained in the reaction of the cyclic carbonates rac-1a, ent-1a (≥99% ee) and ent-1c (≥99% ee) with lithium tert-butylsulfinate. Thus, in the case of rac-1a and 2-pyrimidinthiol and tert-butylsulfinate anion as nucleophiles the enantioselectivity of the substitution step is, under the conditions used, independent of the chirality of the substrate; this shows that no "memory effect" is operating in this case. Hydrolysis of the carbonates ent-1a-c, ent-3aa and ent-3ba, which were obtained through kinetic resolution, afforded the enantiomerically highly enriched cyclic allylic alcohols 9a-c (≥99% ee) and acyclic allylic alcohols 10a (≥99% ee) and 10b (99% ee), respectively.

Supramolecular catalysts emulate the mechanism of enzymes to achieve large rate accelerations and precise selectivity under mild and aqueous conditions. While significant strides have been made in the supramolecular host-promoted synthesis of small molecules, applications of this reactivity to chemoselective and site-selective modification of complex biomolecules remain virtually unexplored. We report here a supramolecular system where coencapsulation of pyridine-borane with a variety of molecules including enones, ketones, aldehydes, oximes, hydrazones, and imines effects efficient reductions under basic aqueous conditions. Upon subjecting unprotected lysine to the host-mediated reductive amination conditions, we observed excellent ?-selectivity, indicating that differential guest binding within the same molecule is possible without sacrificing reactivity. Inspired by the post-translational modification of complex biomolecules by enzymatic systems, we then applied this supramolecular reaction to the site-selective labeling of a single lysine residue in an 11-amino acid peptide chain and human insulin.

A stereo-divergent synthesis of natural and unnatural opines in stereochemically pure form is based on the direct palladium-catalyzed N-allylation of α-amino acid esters (up to 97 % ee or 99 : 1 d.r.) using methyl (E)-2-penten-4-yl carbonate in the presence of only 1 mol% of a catalyst, prepared in-situ from the C2-symmetric diphosphine iPr-MediPhos and [Pd(allyl)Cl]2. Selected target compounds (incl. a derivative of the drug enalapril) were efficiently obtained from the N-allylated intermediates by oxidative cleavage (ozonolysis) of the allylic C=C bond under temporary N-Boc-protection.

Two enantioselective total syntheses of the nortriterpenoid natural product rubriflordilactone A are described, which use palladium- or cobalt-catalyzed cyclizations to form the CDE rings, and converge on a late-stage synthetic intermediate. These key processes are set up through the convergent coupling of a common diyne component with appropriate AB-ring aldehydes, a strategy that sets the stage for the synthetic exploration of other members of this family of natural products. Two in one: Two enantioselective total syntheses of the nortriterpenoid natural product rubriflordilactone A are described, which use palladium- or cobalt-catalyzed cyclizations to converge on a late-stage synthetic intermediate. These key processes are set up through the coupling of a common diyne component with appropriate AB-ring aldehydes, a strategy that enables a broad exploration of this family of natural products, as well as synthetic analogues.

Gold(I)-catalysed direct allylic etherifications have been successfully carried out with chirality transfer to yield enantioenriched, γ-substituted secondary allylic ethers. Our investigations include a full substrate-scope screen to ascertain substituent effects on the regioselectivity, stereoselectivity and efficiency of chirality transfer, as well as control experiments to elucidate the mechanistic subtleties of the chirality-transfer process. Crucially, addition of molecular sieves was found to be necessary to ensure efficient and general chirality transfer. Computational studies suggest that the efficiency of chirality transfer is linked to the aggregation of the alcohol nucleophile around the reactive π-bound Au-allylic ether complex. With a single alcohol nucleophile, a high degree of chirality transfer is predicted. However, if three alcohols are present, alternative proton transfer chain mechanisms that Erode the efficiency of chirality transfer become competitive.

The tandem ylide formation/[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement between donor/acceptor rhodium carbenoids and chiral allyl alcohols is a convergent C-C bond forming process, which generates two vicinal stereogenic centers. Any of the four possible stereoisomers can be selectively synthesized by appropriate combination of the chiral catalyst Rh2(DOSP)4 and the chiral alcohol.
