Interrupted Pyridine Hydrogenation: Asymmetric Synthesis of δ-Lactams

Metal-catalyzed hydrogenation is an effective method to transform readily available arenes into saturated motifs, however, current hydrogenation strategies are limited to the formation of C?H and N?H bonds. The stepwise addition of hydrogen yields reactive unsaturated intermediates that are rapidly reduced. In contrast, the interruption of complete hydrogenation by further functionalization of unsaturated intermediates offers great potential for increasing chemical complexity in a single reaction step. Overcoming the tenet of full reduction in arene hydrogenation has been seldom demonstrated. In this work we report the synthesis of sought-after, enantioenriched δ-lactams from oxazolidinone-substituted pyridines and water by an interrupted hydrogenation mechanism.

A hydrogen borrowing annulation strategy for the stereocontrolled synthesis of saturated aza-heterocycles

An iridium catalyzed method for the synthesis of saturated aza-heterocycles from amines and diols is reported. A wide range of substituted heterocycles can be obtained using this approach including products bearing substituents at the C2, C3 and C4 positions. Employing water as the solvent, enantiopure diols could undergo annulation with minimal racemization, enabling the synthesis of valuable enantioenriched C3 and C4-substituted saturated aza-heterocycles.

3-Acetoxyquinuclidine as Catalyst in Electron Donor-Acceptor Complex-Mediated Reactions Triggered by Visible Light

3-Acetoxyquinuclidine was found to act as a catalytic electron donor species in a variety of electron donor-acceptor complex-mediated reactions. Only substoichiometric amounts (10-25 mol %) were needed to trigger the desired reaction. The outcome could be tuned by selecting the nature of the formed radical to perform amino- and hydro-decarboxylation, dimerization, and cyclization reactions. Importantly, no external additives were needed in this reaction.

Nickel-catalyzed reductive cyclization of alkyl dihalides

The reductive coupling protocol to intramolecular cyclization of dihaloalkanes is presented. It leads to five- and six-membered rings, with the former being more efficient. The incorporation of secondary alkyl halides generally promotes coupling efficiency. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first catalytic ring-closure reaction arising from dihaloalkanes under chemical reductive conditions.

Aminolysis of benzyl 2-pyridyl thionocarbonate and t-butyl 2-pyridyl thionocarbonate: Effects of nonleaving groups on reactivity and reaction mechanism

A kinetic study is reported for nucleophilic substitution reactions of benzyl 2-pyridyl thionocarbonate (5b) and t-butyl 2-pyridyl thionocarbonate (6b) with a series of alicyclic secondary amines in H2O at 25.0 °C. Generalbase catalysis, which has often been reported to occur for aminolysis of esters possessing a C=S electrophilic center, is absent for the reactions of 5b and 6b. The Bronsted-type plots for the reactions of 5b and 6b are linear with ssnuc = 0.29 and 0.43, respectively, indicating that the reactions of 5b proceed through a stepwise mechanism with formation of a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate (T±) being the rate-determining step while those of 6b proceed through a concerted mechanism. The reactivity of 5b and 6b is similar to that of their oxygen analogues (i.e., benzyl 2-pyridyl carbonate 5a and t-butyl 2-pyridyl carbonate 6a, respectively), indicating that the effect of modification of the electrophilic center from C=O to C=S (i.e., from 5a to 5b and from 6a to 6b) on reactivity is insignificant. In contrast, 6b is much less reactive than 5b, indicating that the replacement of the PhCH2 in 5b by the t-Bu in 6b results in a significant decrease in reactivity as well as a change in the reaction mechanism (i.e., from a stepwise mechanism to a concerted pathway). It has been concluded that the contrasting reactivity and reaction mechanism for the reactions of 5b and 6b are not due to the electronic effects of PhCH2 and t-Bu but are caused by the large steric hindrance exerted by the bulky t-Bu in 6b.

Aminolysis of benzyl 4-pyridyl carbonate in acetonitrile: Effect of modification of leaving group from 2-pyridyloxide to 4-pyridyloxide on reactivity and reaction mechanism

A kinetic study is reported for nucleophilic substitution reactions of benzyl 4-pyridyl carbonate 6 with a series of alicyclic secondary amines in MeCN. The plot of pseudo-first-order rate constant (kobsd) vs. [amine] curves upward, which is typical for reactions reported previously to proceed through a stepwise mechanism with two intermediates (i.e., a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate T± and its deprotonated form T-). Dissection of kobsd into the second-and third-order rate constants (i.e., Kk2 and Kk3, respectively) reveals that Kk3 is significantly larger than Kk2, indicating that the reactions proceed mainly through the deprotonation pathway (i.e., the k3 process) in a high [amine] region. This contrasts to the recent report that the corresponding aminolysis of benzyl 2-pyridyl carbonate 5 proceeds through a forced concerted mechanism. An intramolecular H-bonding interaction was suggested to force the reactions of 5 to proceed through a concerted mechanism, since it could accelerate the rate of leaving-group expulsion (i.e., an increase in k2). However, such H-bonding interaction, which could increase k2, is structurally impossible for the reactions of 6. Thus, presence or absence of an intramolecular H-bonding interaction has been suggested to be responsible for the contrasting reaction mechanisms (i.e., a forced concerted mechanism for the reaction of 5 vs. a stepwise mechanism with T± and T-as intermediates for that of 6).

Kinetics and reaction mechanism of aminolyses of benzyl 2-pyridyl carbonate and t-butyl 2-pyridyl carbonate in acetonitrile

Second-order rate constants (kN) have been measured spectrophotometrically for the reactions of benzyl 2- pyridyl carbonate 3 and t-butyl 2-pyridyl carbonate 4 with a series of alicyclic secondary amines in MeCN at 25.0 ± 0.1 ° C. Substrate 4 is much less reactive than 3 and the steric hindrance exerted by the bulky t-Bu group in 4 has been attributed to its decreased reactivity. The Bronsted-type plots for the reactions of 3 and 4 are linear with ssnuc = 0.57 and 0.45, respectively. Thus, the reactions have been concluded to proceed through a concerted mechanism, although the current reactions were expected to proceed through a stepwise mechanism with a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate T±. It has been proposed that the rate of leaving-group expulsion is accelerated by the intramolecular H-bonding interaction in T± and the "push" provided by the RO group through the resonance interaction. Thus, the enhanced nucleofugality forces the reactions to proceed through a concerted mechanism. The reactivity-selectivity principle (RSP) is not applicable to the current reaction systems, since the reaction of the less reactive 4 results in a smaller ssnuc than that of the more reactive 3. Steric hindrance exerted by the bulky t-Bu group in 4 has been suggested to be responsible for the failure of the RSP. Copyright

New Synthetic Approach to Cyclopenta-Fused Heterocycles Based upon a Mild Nazarov Reaction

The Pd-catalyzed coupling reaction of lactam or lactone-derived vinyl triflates and phosphates with α-alkoxydienylboronates gives conjugated alkoxytrienes in which one of the double bonds is embedded in a heterocyclic moiety. If subjected to mild acidic hydrolysis, these compounds undergo a 4π electrocyclization process (Nazarov reaction) which furnishes cyclopenta-fused O- and N-heterocycles in good yields. The scope of the work has been that of closely examining the role and effect of both the heteroatom and the heterocycle ring size on the outcome of the electrocyclization, as well as the torquoselectivity of this process. The presence of the heteroatom was essential in stabilizing the oxyallyl cation intermediate, thus allowing the reaction to occur. The ring size was also a basic parameter in the cyclization step: five-membered azacycles required more drastic conditions to give 5-5 fused systems and did so only after an initial hydrolysis to the corresponding divinyl ketones. As for the torquoselectivity, with both 2-methyl and 4-methyl substituted lactam derivatives steric interactions seem to have a role in forcing the conrotatory process to take place in one sense only: allowing the synthesis of diastereomerically pure compounds to be realized. Because different patterns of substitution on the heterocycle are compatible with the reaction conditions, the methodology developed could be very useful for the synthesis of natural products and biologically active compounds containing cyclopenta-fused O- and N-heterocycle moieties.
