Diastereoselective Synthesis of α-Quaternary Aziridine-2-carboxylates via Aza-Corey-Chaykovsky Aziridination of N-tert-Butanesulfinyl Ketimino Esters

A general, scalable, and highly diastereoselective aziridination of N-tert-butanesulfinyl ketimino esters is described. The methodology has been utilized to provide straightforward access to previously unobtainable, biologically relevant α-quaternary amino esters and derivatives starting from readily available precursors.

Electrochemical two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) induced aerobic oxidation of α-diazoesters

Electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a powerful tool for introducing oxygen functional groups in synthetic chemistry. However, compared with the well-developed one-electron oxygen reduction process, the applications of two-electron oxygen re

Stereoselective Synthesis of Dihydrocoumarins via [1,2]-Phospha-Brook Rearrangement in Three-Component Coupling Reaction of α-Ketoesters, o-Quinone Methides, and Dialkyl Phosphites

A highly regio- and diastereoselective approach for the synthesis of phosphate substituted dihydrocoumarins via Br?nsted base catalyzed [1,2]-phospha-Brook rearrangement is reported. The two-step, one-pot Michael addition of α-phosphonyloxy enolates proceeds by coupling of dialkyl phosphite and α-ketoesters to o-quinone methides, followed by an intramolecular cyclization, providing 3,4-dihydrocoumarin frameworks.

Unraveling two pathways for NHPI-mediated electrocatalytic oxidation reaction

Two pathways for N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI)-mediated electrocatalytic oxidation using phenylacetate derivatives as template substrates were first reported for benzylic C[sbnd]H oxidation to oxygenated and non-oxygenated products. DFT calculation indicates that the hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) process between phthalimido-N-oxyl (PINO) and substrate is a rate-determined step. Aromatic α-keto esters and 2-((1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)oxy)-2-aryl acetate obtained by cross-coupling between benzylic radical and PINO can be selectively synthesized through controlling the concentration of PINO radical. This method provides a deep understanding for selective weak C[sbnd]H oxidation using NHPI as redox mediator.

Copper on charcoal: Cu0nanoparticle catalysed aerobic oxidation of α-diazo esters

By using a charcoal supported nano Cu0catalyst (Cu/C), a highly efficient oxidation of α-diazo esters to α-ketoesters with molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant has been developed. In the presence of the Cu/C catalyst, 2-aryl-α-diazo esters with both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups can be oxidized to the corresponding α-ketoesters efficiently. Furthermore, this Cu/C catalyst can catalyse the reaction of aryl α-diazo ester with water to form aryl ketoester, 2-aryl-2-hydroxyl acetate ester and 2-aryl acetate ester. In this case, water is split by α-diazo ester, and the diazo group is displaced by the oxygen or hydrogen atom in water. Mechanistic investigation showed that the reaction of α-diazo ester with oxygen proceeds through a radical pathway. In the presence of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidine nitrogen oxide, the reaction of α-diazo ester with oxygen is dramatically inhibited. Furthermore, the reaction of α-diazo ester with water is investigated by an isotopic tracer method, and GCMS detection showed that a disproportionation reaction occurred between α-diazo ester and water.

Chemo- And diastereoselective synthesis of pyrrolidines from aroylformates and δ-tosylamino enones via P(NMe2)3-mediated reductive amination/base-catalyzed michael addition cascade

A novel P(NMe2)3-mediated tandem (1 + 4) annulation between aroylformates and δ-tosylamino enones has been developed that affords a facile synthesis of functionalized pyrrolidines in moderate to excellent yields with exclusive chemoselectivity and high diastereoselectivity. Mechanistic investigation reveals that the reaction proceeds through an unprecedented P(NMe2)3-mediated reductive amination/base-catalyzed Michael addition cascade. The reaction herein also represents the first study of the reactivity patterns of the Kukhtin-Ramirez adducts toward ambiphilic nucleophile-electrophiles.

Copper(I)-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of α-diazoesters

A practical Cu-catalyzed oxidation of α-diazoesters to α-ketoesters using molecular oxygen as an oxidant has been developed. Both electron-poor and electron-rich aryl α-diazoesters are suitable substrates and provide the α-ketoesters in good yields. In this oxidative system, α-diazo-β-ketoesters are also compatible as substrates but unexpectedly furnish α-ketoesters via C-C bond cleavage, rather than the vicinal tricarbonyl products.

Intermolecular Radical Addition to Ketoacids Enabled by Boron Activation

The intermolecular radical addition to the carbonyl group is difficult due to the facile fragmentation of the resulting alkoxyl radical. To date, the intermolecular radical addition to ketones, a valuable approach to construct quaternary carbon centers, remains a formidable synthetic challenge. Here, we report the first visible-light-induced intermolecular alkyl boronic acid addition to α-ketoacids enabled by the Lewis acid activation. The in situ boron complex formation is confirmed by various spectroscopic measurements and mechanistic probing experiments, which facilitates various alkyl boronic acid addition to the carbonyl group and prevents the cleavage of the newly formed C-C bond. Diversely substituted lactates can be synthesized from readily available alkyl boronic acids and ketoacids at room temperature merely under visible light irradiation, without any additional reagent. This boron activation approach can be extended to alkyl dihydropyridines as radical precursors with external boron reagents for primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl radical additions. The pharmaceutically useful anticholinergic precursors are easily scaled up in multigrams under metal-free conditions in flow reactors.

Combined Photoredox/Enzymatic C?H Benzylic Hydroxylations

Chemical transformations that install heteroatoms into C?H bonds are of significant interest because they streamline the construction of value-added small molecules. Direct C?H oxyfunctionalization, or the one step conversion of a C?H bond to a C?O bond, could be a highly enabling transformation due to the prevalence of the resulting enantioenriched alcohols in pharmaceuticals and natural products,. Here we report a single-flask photoredox/enzymatic process for direct C?H hydroxylation that proceeds with broad reactivity, chemoselectivity and enantioselectivity. This unified strategy advances general photoredox and enzymatic catalysis synergy and enables chemoenzymatic processes for powerful and selective oxidative transformations.

Exploiting Cofactor Versatility to Convert a FAD-Dependent Baeyer–Villiger Monooxygenase into a Ketoreductase

Cyclohexanone monooxygenases (CHMOs) show very high catalytic specificity for natural Baeyer–Villiger (BV) reactions and promiscuous reduction reactions have not been reported to date. Wild-type CHMO from Acinetobacter sp. NCIMB 9871 was found to possess an innate, promiscuous ability to reduce an aromatic α-keto ester, but with poor yield and stereoselectivity. Structure-guided, site-directed mutagenesis drastically improved the catalytic carbonyl-reduction activity (yield up to 99 %) and stereoselectivity (ee up to 99 %), thereby converting this CHMO into a ketoreductase, which can reduce a range of differently substituted aromatic α-keto esters. The improved, promiscuous reduction activity of the mutant enzyme in comparison to the wild-type enzyme results from a decrease in the distance between the carbonyl moiety of the substrate and the hydrogen atom on N5 of the reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) cofactor, as confirmed using docking and molecular dynamics simulations.
