Cyclopropanation reaction is an important tool for obtaining interesting compounds and can be catalyzed by metalloporphyrins with high syn/anti ratio. The catalyst cannot be recycled and is usually lost during chromatographic separation from the two isome
Engineering of RuMb: Toward a Green Catalyst for Carbene Insertion Reactions

The small, stable heme protein myoglobin (Mb) was modified through cofactor substitution and mutagenesis to develop a new catalyst for carbene transfer reactions. The native heme was removed from wild-type Mb and several Mb His64 mutants (H64D, H64A, H64V), and the resulting apoproteins were reconstituted with ruthenium mesoporphyrin IX (RuMpIX). The reconstituted proteins (RuMb) were characterized by UV-vis and circular dichroism spectroscopy and were used as catalysts for the N-H insertion of aniline derivatives and the cyclopropanation of styrene derivatives. The best catalysts for each reaction were able to achieve turnover numbers (TON) up to 520 for the N-H insertion of aniline, and 350 TON for the cyclopropanation of vinyl anisole. Our results show that RuMb is an effective catalyst for N-H insertion, with the potential to further increase the activity and stereoselectivity of the catalyst in future studies. Compared to native Mb ("FeMb"), RuMb is a more active catalyst for carbene transfer reactions, which leads to both heme and protein modification and degradation and, hence, to an overall much-reduced lifetime of the catalyst. This leads to lower TONs for RuMb compared to the iron-containing analogues. Strategies to overcome this limitation are discussed. Finally, comparison is also made to FeH64DMb and FeH64AMb, which have not been previously investigated for carbene transfer reactions.

Electron-rich ruthenium phthalocyanine complexes were evaluated in carbene transfer reactions from ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) to aromatic and aliphatic olefins as well as to a wide range of aromatic, heterocyclic and aliphatic amines for the first time. It was revealed that the ruthenium octabutoxyphthalocyanine carbonyl complex [(BuO)8Pc]Ru(CO) is the most efficient catalyst converting electron-rich and electron-poor aromatic olefins to cyclopropane derivatives with high yields (typically 80-100%) and high TON (up to 1000) under low catalyst loading and nearly equimolar substrate/EDA ratio. This catalyst shows a rare efficiency in the carbene insertion into amine N-H bonds. Using a 0.05 mol% catalyst loading, a high amine concentration (1 M) and 1.1 eq. of EDA, a number of structurally divergent amines were selectively converted to mono-substituted glycine derivatives with up to quantitative yields and turnover numbers reaching 2000. High selectivity, large substrate scope, low catalyst loading and practical reaction conditions place [(BuO)8Pc]Ru(CO) among the most efficient catalysts for the carbene insertion into amines.

The first examples of heterogeneous Fe-catalysed cyclopropanation reactions are presented. Pyrolysis of in situ-generated iron/phenanthroline complexes in the presence of a carbonaceous material leads to specific supported nanosized iron particles, which are effective catalysts for carbene transfer reactions. Using olefins as substrates, cyclopropanes are obtained in high yields and moderate diastereoselectivities. The developed protocol is scalable and the activity of the recycled catalyst after deactivation can be effectively restored using an oxidative reactivation protocol under mild conditions.

The electronic structure of three single-Atom bridged diiron octapropylporphyrazine complexes (FePzPr8)2X having Fe(III)-O-Fe(III), Fe(III)-N-Fe(IV) and Fe(IV)-C-Fe(IV) structural units was investigated by M?ssbauer spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In this series, the isomer shift values decrease, whereas the values of quadrupole splitting become progressively greater indicating the increase of covalency of Fe-X bond in the μ-oxo, μ-nitrido, μ-carbido row. The M?ssbauer data point to low-spin systems for the three complexes, and calculated data with B3LYP-D3 show a singlet state for μ-oxo and μ-carbido and a doublet state for μ-nitrido complexes. An excellent agreement was obtained between B3LYP-D3 optimized geometries and X-ray structural data. Among (FePzPr8)2X complexes, μ-oxo diiron species showed a higher reactivity in the cyclopropanation of styrene by ethyl diazoacetate to afford a 95% product yield with 0.1 mol % catalyst loading. A detailed DFT study allowed to get insight into electronic structure of binuclear carbene species and to confirm their involvement into carbene transfer reactions.
Metal-free domino Cloke-Wilson rearrangement-hydration-dimerization of cyclopropane carbaldehydes: A facile access to oxybis(2-aryltetrahydrofuran) derivatives

, (2020/03/13)
In this work, we have demonstrated a metal-free transformation of cyclopropane carbaldehydes to oxybis(2-aryltetrahydrofuran) derivatives via a domino Cloke-Wilson rearrangement-hydration-dimerization sequence. Commercially inexpensive p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA) was used as a Br?nsted acid catalyst, and reactions were conducted in an open-flask. Detection of reaction intermediates were carried to get an insight into the reaction pathway.
Regioselective Br?nsted Acid-Catalyzed Annulation of Cyclopropane Aldehydes with N′-Aryl Anthranil Hydrazides: Domino Construction of Tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2- a]quinazolin-5(1 H)ones

, p. 3393 - 3406 (2020/03/23)
A highly regioselective synthesis of tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinazolin-5(1H)one derivatives was achieved by reacting cyclopropane aldehydes with N′-aryl anthranil hydrazides in the presence of p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA). The transformation involves domino imine formation and intramolecular cyclization to form 2-arylcyclopropyl-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-one, followed by nucleophilic ring opening of the cyclopropyl ring to form desired tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinazolin-5(1H)one in good to excellent yield with complete regioselectivity. This protocol tolerates a great variety of functional groups and thus provides a simple and step-efficient method for pyrroloquinazolinone synthesis.
Accessing dihydro-1,2-oxazine via cloke-wilson-type annulation of cyclopropyl carbonyls: application toward the diastereoselective synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2- b][1,2]oxazine

A convenient additive-free synthesis of dihydro-4H-1,2-oxazines via a Cloke-Wilson-type ring expansion of the aryl-substituted cyclopropane carbaldehydes with the hydroxylamine salt is introduced. Comparatively less active cyclopropyl ketones also follow a similar protocol if supplemented by catalytic p-toluene sulfonic acid monohydrate. The transformation is performed in an open-to-air flask as it shows negligible sensitivity toward air/moisture. Dihydro-4H-1,2-oxazines when subjected to cycloaddition with the cyclopropane diester afford a trouble-free formulation of the valued hexahydro-2H-pyrrolo[1,2-b][1,2]oxazine derivatives. A cascade one-pot variant of this two-step strategy offers a comparable overall yield of the final product.

Herein, we report a p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) initiated mild and user-friendly ring opening/domino ring opening cyclization reaction (depends on substituent present in N-benzyl aniline) of cyclopropane carbaldehyde and N-benzyl aniline towards the formation of substituted 4-amino butanal/2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]azepine. The product dihydro-1H-benzo[b]azepine was also converted into the corresponding tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepine. (Figure presented.).
