Enantio- and Diastereoselective, Complete Hydrogenation of Benzofurans by Cascade Catalysis
Gallagher, Timothy,Glorius, Frank,Hu, Tianjiao,Moock, Daniel,Wagener, Tobias
, p. 13677 - 13681 (2021/05/10)
We report an enantio- and diastereoselective, complete hydrogenation of multiply substituted benzofurans in a one-pot cascade catalysis. The developed protocol facilitates the controlled installation of up to six new defined stereocenters and produces architecturally complex octahydrobenzofurans, prevalent in many bioactive molecules. A unique match of a chiral homogeneous ruthenium-N-heterocyclic carbene complex and an in situ activated rhodium catalyst from a complex precursor act in sequence to enable the presented process.

2,3-Dihydrobenzofurans are key pharmacophores in many natural and synthetic bioactive molecules. A biocatalytic strategy is reported here for the highly diastereo- and enantioselective construction of stereochemically rich 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans in high enantiopurity (>99.9% de and ee), high yields, and on a preparative scale via benzofuran cyclopropanation with engineered myoglobins. Computational and structure-reactivity studies provide insights into the mechanism of this reaction, enabling the elaboration of a stereochemical model that can rationalize the high stereoselectivity of the biocatalyst. This information was leveraged to implement a highly stereoselective route to a drug molecule and a tricyclic scaffold featuring five stereogenic centers via a single-enzyme transformation. This work expands the biocatalytic toolbox for asymmetric C–C bond transformations and should prove useful for further development of metalloprotein catalysts for abiotic carbene transfer reactions.
Dioxazolones as masked ester surrogates in the Pd(ii)-catalyzed direct C-H arylation of 6,5-fused heterocycles

, p. 11187 - 11190 (2019/09/30)
A simple and effective Pd(ii)-catalyzed regioselective C(2)-H arylation of 6,5-fused heterocycles with dioxazolones as a masked ester surrogate under mild conditions is reported. The significance of the arylation is highlighted by the new reactivity demonstrated in dioxazolones via proximal C-H activation of the cyclic carbonate of the hydroxamic acid functionality under protic conditions.

Direct dimesitylborylation of benzofuran derivatives by a C?H activation catalyzed by an iridium(I)/N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex in the presence of Ph2MeSi-BMes2 afforded the corresponding dimesitylborylation products in good to high yield with excellent regioselectivity. This method provides a straightforward route to donor–(π-spacer)–acceptor systems with intriguing solvatochromic luminescence properties.

An interesting albeit unexpected deviation during attempted Tanabe γ-lactone annulation on 4-hydroxycyclohexanones has led to a general, one-pot synthesis of benzofurans and naphtho[2,3–b]furans from readily assembled precursors. The utility of this adaptable methodology has been demonstrated through concise syntheses of natural products, stereumene B, paeoveitol D and (±)-paeoveitol.

A novel ligand-free palladium-catalyzed C-2 arylation of benzofurans has been developed using N′-acyl arylhydrazines as the coupling partners and TEMPO as an oxidant. This protocol features a wide functional-group tolerance and highly regioselective products with good to excellent yields.

Xu-Xu, Qing-Feng,Liu, Qiang-Qiang,Zhang, Xiao,You, Shu-Li
, p. 15204 - 15208 (2018/10/24)
A copper(II) acetate/(R)-DTBM-SEGPHOS-catalyzed ring opening of benzofurans and enantioselective hydroamination cascade with dimethoxymethylsilane (DMMS) and hydroxylamine esters is described. Starting from readily available substituted benzofurans, a series of chiral N,N-dibenzylaminophenols, which are of high interest in pharmaceutical chemistry, were obtained with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 66 % yield, 94 % ee).

Heterobiaryls consisting of a phenol and a benzofuran motif are of significant importance for pharmaceutical applications. An attractive sustainable, metal- and reagent-free, electrosynthetic, and highly efficient method, that allows access to (2-hydroxyphenyl)benzofurans is presented. Upon the electrochemical dehydrogenative C?C cross-coupling reaction, a metathesis of the benzo moiety at the benzofuran occurs. This gives rise to a substitution pattern at the hydroxyphenyl moiety which would not be compatible by a direct coupling process. The single-step protocol is easy to conduct in an undivided electrolysis cell, therefore scalable, and inherently safe.
Palladium-Catalyzed Dearomatizing Difunctionalization of Indoles and Benzofurans
Ramella, Vincenzo,He, Zhiheng,Daniliuc, Constantin G.,Studer, Armido
, p. 2268 - 2273 (2016/05/19)
A palladium-catalyzed dearomatizing difunctionalization of N-Boc-indoles and benzofurans to give tricyclic indolines and 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans with a fully substituted carbon center is described. Product formation occurs under mild conditions at room temperature with commercially available aryl boronic acids and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) as a mild oxidant in good yields. 2-Carboxyalkyl-substituted indoles and benzofurans react under Pd-catalysis with aryl boronic acids and TEMPO through dearomatizing arylation/cyclization to the corresponding indolines and dihydrobenzofurans containing a lactone moiety bearing a fully substituted carbon center.
