Radical addition to chiral N-acylhydrazones has generated unusual amino acids tubuphenylalanine (Tup) and tubuvaline (Tuv) that are structural components of the tubulysin family of picomolar antimitotic agents and previously led to a tubulysin tetrapeptide analog with a C-terminal alcohol. To improve efficiency in this synthetic route to tubulysins, and to address difficulties in oxidation of the C-terminal alcohol, here we present two alternative routes to Tuv that (a) improve step economy, (b) provide modified conditions for Mn-mediated radical addition in the presence of aromatic heterocycles, and (c) expose an example of double diastereocontrol in radical addition to a β-benzyloxyhydrazone with broader implications for asymmetric amine synthesis via radical addition. An efficient coupling sequence affords 11-O-benzyltubulysin V benzyl ester.

Manganese-mediated radical addition reactions to chiral N-acylhydrazones produces amines with excellent stereocontrol, but prior work showed an incompatibility with aromatic N-heterocycles. Control reactions with various aromatic heterocycles as additives led to modified reaction conditions that permit improved radical additions to N-acylhydrazones in the presence of heteroaromatic compounds. The method was applied to a revised approach to tubuvaline utilizing radical addition to a chiral N-acylhydrazone bearing a thiazole moiety.

Stereoselective radical additions have excellent potential as mild, nonbasic carbon-carbon bond constructions for direct asymmetric amine synthesis. Efficient intermolecular radical addition to C=N bonds with acyclic stereocontrol has previously been limited mainly to secondary and tertiary radicals, a serious limitation from the perspective of synthetic applications. Here, we provide full details of the use of photolysis with manganese carbonyl to mediate stereoselective intermolecular radical addition to N-acylhydrazones. Photolysis (300 nm) of alkyl halides and hydrazones in the presence of Mn 2(CO)10 and InCl3 as a Lewis acid led to reductive radical addition; diastereomer ratios ranged from 93:7 to 98:2 at ca. 35 °C. The reaction tolerates additional functionality in either reactant, enabling subsequent transformations as shown in an efficient asymmetric synthesis of coniine. A series of hydrazones bearing different substituents on the oxazolidinone auxiliary were compared; consistently high diastereocontrol revealed that the identity of the substituent had little practical effect on the diastereoselectivity. Further mechanistic control experiments confirmed the intermediacy of radicals and showed that independently prepared alkyl- or acylmanganese pentacarbonyl compounds do not undergo efficient addition to the N-acylhydrazones under thermal or photolytic (300 nm) conditions. These Mn-mediated conditions avoid toxic tin reagents and enable stereoselective intermolecular radical additions to C=N bonds with the broadest range of alkyl halides yet reported, including previously ineffective primary alkyl halides.

Intermolecular radical addition to C=N bonds with acyclic stereocontrol offers excellent potential as a mild, nonbasic carbon-carbon bond construction approach to chiral amines. Here, complete details of the first radical additions to chiral N-acylhydrazones as an approach to asymmetric amine synthesis are disclosed. Novel N-acylhydrazones were designed as chiral C=N radical acceptors with Lewis acid activation, restriction of conformational mobility, and commercial availability of precursors. Amination of 4-alkyl-2-oxazolidinones with O-(mesitylenesulfonyl)hydroxylamine or O-(p-nitrobenzoyl)hydroxylamine afforded N-aminooxazolidinones which were condensed with aldehydes to afford N-acylhydrazones 3-8. Three synthetic methods were developed, implementing these N-acylhydrazones in Lewis acid-promoted intermolecular radical additions to C=N bonds. First, additions of various secondary and tertiary alkyl iodides to propionaldehyde and benzaldehyde hydrazones (3 and 7) under tin hydride radical chain conditions in the presence of ZnCl2 gave N-acylhydrazine adducts with diastereomeric ratios ranging from 93:7 to 99:1. Radical additions to a series of N-acylhydrazones with different substituents on the oxazolidinone revealed that benzyl and diphenylmethyl were more effective stereocontrol elements than those with the aromatic ring directly attached to the oxazolidinone. Second, a tin-free method, exploiting dual functions of triethylborane for both initiation and chain propagation, enabled improved yields in addition of secondary alkyl iodides. Third, under photolytic conditions with hexamethylditin, primary radical addition could be achieved with ethyl iodide in the presence of diethyl ether as cosolvent; the 1-ethoxyethyl adduct was observed as a minor product. Chloromethyl addition was achieved under both the tin-free and photolytic conditions; in this case, the adduct bears alkyl chloride functionality with potential for further elaboration.
Stereocontrol in hydride addition to ketone-derived chiral N-acylhydrazones

Chiral N-acylhydrazones derived from various aldehydes and N-amino-4-benzyl-2-oxazolidinone have previously been shown to be effective for acyclic stereocontrol of intermolecular radical and allylsilane additions. Treatment of the propionaldehyde hydrazone with tributyltin hydride in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate led to rapid chemoselective reduction of the imine bond in high yield. Preparation of similar hydrazones from ketones led to E/Z isomer mixtures, usually in ratios of 4:1 or greater. Geometry of the C=N bond was assigned by steric compression shifts in 13C NMR spectra. Reduction with tributyltin hydride and boron trifluoride etherate afforded diastereomer mixtures in ratios very similar to the original E/Z isomer ratios. The chiral auxiliary blocked the opposite face of the C=N bond relative to a related process using a chelated Lewis acid. A stereocontrol model involving monodentate interaction of the N-acylhydrazone and boron trifluoride is consistent with the observed stereochemical outcome.
