Bioinspired manganese complexes have emerged as attractive catalysts for a number of selective oxidation reactions over the past several decades. In the present study, we report the enantioselective oxidation of spirocyclic compounds with manganese complexes bearing tetradentate N4 ligands as catalysts and aqueous H2O2 as a terminal oxidant under mild conditions; spirocyclic tetralone (1a) and its derivatives bearing electron-donating and -withdrawing substituents are converted to their corresponding chiral spirocyclic β,β′-diketones with high yields and enantioselectivities. Spirocyclic indanones are also converted to the β,β′-spirobiindanones with high enantioselectivities. Indeed, the reaction expands the diversity of chiral spirocyclic diketones via a late-stage oxidative process. In addition, it is of importance to note that the catalytic reaction can be easily scaled up and the chiral spirocyclic β,β′-diketones can be transformed into diol products. In mechanistic studies, we have shown that (1) ketones were yielded as products via the initial formation of alcohols, followed by the further oxidation of the alcohols to ketones, (2) hydrogen atom (H atom) abstraction from the methylene C-H bonds of 1a by a putative Mn(V)-oxo intermediate was proposed to be the rate-determining step, and (3) the C-H bond hydroxylation of 1a by the Mn(V)-oxo species was proposed to occur via oxygen rebound mechanism. On the basis of these results, we have proposed a plausible mechanism for the selective C-H bond oxidation of hydrocarbons by bioinspired manganese catalysts and hydrogen peroxide.

trans,trans-2,2'-Spirobiindan-1,1'-diol (1) was resolved as its (-)-ω-camphanic ester and the absolute rotation of the glycol 1 was determined.Two crown ethers and the acyclic analog were derived from (+)-1.Two crown ethers incorporating (+)-cis,trans-2,2'-spirobiindan-1,1'-diol were also prepared.Their chiral recognition properties in transport of methyl (+/-)phenylglycinate hydrochloride and abilities to extract alkali metal picrates were investigated.

The absolute configurations of cis,trans- and trans,trans-2,2'-spirobi-indane-1,1'-diols were non-empirically determined by applying the c.d. exciton chirality method to their bis.

An SPA-triazolium bromide-catalyzed transannular C-acylation of enol lactones is presented. This methodology provides convenient access to a range of enantioenriched spirocyclic 1,3-diketones in moderate to high yields and enantioselectivities and features a broad substrate scope in terms of enol lactones. The catalytic capability of this triazolium salt catalyst is also demonstrated in this enantioselective transformation, which could inspire its further application. This journal is
Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of C1- and C2-Symmetric Spirobiindanones through Counterion-Directed Enolate C-Acylation

, p. 13180 - 13183 (2016/10/30)
A catalytic enantioselective route to C1- and C2-symmetric 2,2′-spirobiindanones has been realized through an intramolecular enolate C-acylation. This reaction employs a chiral ammonium counterion to direct the acylation of an in situ generated ketone enolate with a pentafluorophenyl ester. This reaction constitutes the first example of a direct catalytic enantioselective C-acylation of a ketone and provides an efficient and highly enantioselective route to axially chiral spirobiindanediones. These products can be diastereoselectively derivatized, offering access to a range of functionalized spirocyclic architectures.

, p. 2404 - 2412 (2016/06/01)
Synthetic investigations towards spiroconjugated ketones and derivatives thereof are presented. These studies led to the development of a short procedure for the synthesis of spiroconjugated tetraketone 1 in two steps with 10 % overall yield and the first-time synthesis of spirocyclic trindone 2. The optoelectronic properties of these compounds based on spectroscopic and electrochemical measurements in combination with DFT calculations as well as their molecular structures in the solid state are presented and discussed.
Exciton chirality method in vibrational circular dichroism
Taniguchi, Tohru,Monde, Kenji
, p. 3695 - 3698 (2012/04/11)
The interaction of two IR chromophores yields a strong vibrational circular dichroism couplet whose sign reflects the absolute configuration of the molecule. We present a method to determine absolute configuration of a chiral molecule based on this couplet without need of theoretical calculation. Not only can this method analyze various molecules whose absolute configuration is difficult to determine by other spectroscopic methods, but also it can significantly enhance VCD signals.

New '2-phenylnaphthalene'-mediated synthesis of benzo[b]naphtho[2,3-d] furan-6,11-diones and 6-oxa-benzo[a]anthracene-5,7,12-triones: First total synthesis of 6-oxa-benzo[a]anthracen-5-ones

, p. 1353 - 1362 (2007/10/03)
We describe here a novel synthesis of benzo[b]naphtho[2,3-d]furan-6,11- diones based on the heteroannulation of 2-(2-bromophenyl)-3-hydroxy-1,4- naphthoquinones. The naphthoquinones were prepared from 3-(2-bromophenyl) naphthalen-2-ols, which were obtained by intramolecular aldol condensation of 2-[3-(2-bromophenyl)-2-oxo-propyl]benzaldehydes. Alternatively, benzo[b]naphtho[2,3-d]furan-6,11-diones were obtained more directly and efficiently by cyclization of 3-(2-bromophenyl)naphthalen-2-ols to benzo[b]naphtho[2,3-d]furans and oxidation of the resulting compounds. Furthermore, the first 6-oxabenzo[a]anthracen-5-one described was similarly obtained from 2-[3-(2-formylphenyl)-2-oxopropyl]benzoic acid and oxidized to 6-oxa-benzo[a]anthracene-5,7,12-trione.

Three tetraketones based on the 2,2'-spirobiindan-1,1',3,3'-tetraone skeleton were prepared and investigated. All three compounds show spiroconjugation between their perpendicular π-networks. The interaction results in lowering of the energy of the LUMO of the systems by ca. 0.2-0.3 eV as compared to non-spiroconjugated models. The spiroketones are susceptible to nucleophile-induced retro-Claisen condensations that lead to molecular rearrangements destroying spiro connectivity.
