Multiple-Functional Diphosphines: Synthesis, Characterization, and Application to Pd-Catalyzed Alkoxycarbonylation of Alkynes

A series of diphosphine ligands (L1-L5) containing bis-phosphino fragments and bis-amido groups as well as intensive electron-withdrawing F atoms were synthesized and fully characterized. The structures of the prepared complex of Pd-L5 demonstrate that as for L5, the incorporated two phosphino fragments participate in the chelation to the Pd center inversely along with two Cl-ligands to present a typical square-planar configuration, whereas the two amido groups simultaneously develop a hydrogen-bond interaction with Cl-ligands to facilitate the timely dissociation of Cl-ligands from the Pd center. It was found that L5 enabled the Pd complex to be more active in the alkoxycarbonylation of alkynes with MeOH for the synthesis of branched/linear α,β-unsaturated carboxylic esters with general yields of 60-89%. In L5, the incorporated diphosphino fragments, diamino groups, and F atoms conferred a catalytic effect to the Pd complex synergetic toward the reaction.

Mizoroki-Heck Reaction of Unstrained Aryl Ketones via Ligand-Promoted C-C Bond Olefination

Mizoroki-Heck reaction of unstrained aryl ketone with acrylate/styrene is accomplished via palladium-catalyzed ligand-promoted C-C bond cleavage. Various (hetero)aryl ketones are compatible in the reaction, affording the alkene product in good to excellent yields. Further applications in the late-stage olefination of some drugs, natural products, and fragrance-derived aryl ketones demonstrate the synthetic utility of this protocol. By employing ketone as both the directing group and the leaving group, 1,2-bifunctionalization is achieved via sequential ortho-C-H alkylation/ipso-Heck olefination.

Dramatic Effect of γ-Heteroatom Dienolate Substituents on Counterion Assisted Asymmetric Anionic Amino-Cope Reaction Cascades

We report a dramatic effect on product outcomes of the lithium ion enabled amino-Cope-like anionic asymmetric cascade when different γ-dienolate heteroatom substituents are employed. For dienolates with azide, thiomethyl, and trifluoromethylthiol substituents, a Mannich/amino-Cope/cyclization cascade ensues to form chiral cyclohexenone products with two new stereocenters in an anti-relationship. For fluoride-substituted nucleophiles, a Mannich/amino-Cope cascade proceeds to afford chiral acyclic products with two new stereocenters in a syn-relationship. Bromide- and chloride-substituted nucleophiles appear to proceed via the same pathway as the fluoride albeit with the added twist of a 3-exo-trig cyclization to yield chiral cyclopropane products with three stereocenters. When this same class of nucleophiles is substituted with a γ-nitro group, the Mannich-initiated cascade is now diverted to a β-lactam product instead of the amino-Cope pathway. These anionic asymmetric cascades are solvent- and counterion-dependent, with a lithium counterion being essential in combination with etheral solvents such as MTBE and CPME. By altering the geometry of the imine double bond from E to Z, the configurations at the R1 and X stereocenters are flipped. Mechanistic, computational, substituent, and counterion studies suggest that these cascades proceed via a common Mannich-product intermediate, which then proceeds via either a chair (X = N3, SMe, or SCF3) or boat-like (X = F, Cl, or Br) transition state to afford amino-Cope-like products or β-lactam in the case of X = NO2.

Design and synthesis of bitopic 2-phenylcyclopropylmethylamine (pcpma) derivatives as selective dopamine d3 receptor ligands

2-Phenylcyclopropylmethylamine (PCPMA) analogues have been reported as selective serotonin 2C agonists. On the basis of the same scaffold, we designed and synthesized a series of bitopic derivatives as dopamine D3R ligands. A number of these new compounds show a high binding affinity for D3R with excellent selectivity. Compound (1R,2R)-22e and its enantiomer (1S,2S)-22e show a comparable binding affinity for the D3R, but the former is a potent D3R agonist, while the latter acts as an antagonist. Molecular docking studies revealed different binding poses of the PCPMA moiety within the orthosteric binding pocket of the D3R, which might explain the different functional profiles of the enantiomers. Compound (1R,2R)-30q shows a high binding affinity for the D3R (Ki = 2.2 nM) along with good selectivity, as well as good bioavailability and brain penetration properties in mice. These results reveal that the PCPMA scaffold may serve as a privileged scaffold for the design of aminergic GPCR ligands.

Phosphetane oxides as redox cycling catalysts in the catalytic wittig reaction at room temperature

Recently, phosphorus redox cycling has gained significant importance for a number of transformations originally requiring the use of stoichiometric amounts of phosphorus reagents. While these methodologies have several benefits, high catalyst loadings (≥10 mol percent) and harsh reaction conditions (T ≥ 100 °C) often limit their versatility and applicability. Herein, we report differently substituted phosphetane oxides as efficient catalysts for the catalytic Wittig reaction. The phosphetane scaffold is easy to modify, and a number of catalysts can be obtained in a simple two-step synthesis. The activity in the Wittig reaction significantly surpasses previously reported phospholane-based catalysts and the reaction can be conducted with catalyst loadings as low as 1.0 mol percent even at room temperature. Furthermore, a Br?nsted acid additive is no longer required to achieve high yields at these mild conditions. A methyl-substituted phosphetane oxide was employed to synthesize 25 different alkenes with yields of up to 97percent. The methodology has a good functional group tolerance and the reaction can be performed starting with alkyl chlorides, bromides, or iodides. Additionally, it was possible to use poly(methylhydrosiloxane) as the terminal reductant in the catalytic Wittig reaction employing 2-MeTHF as a renewable solvent. The intermediates of the Wittig reaction were analyzed by 31P NMR spectroscopy, and in situ NMR experiments confirmed phosphane oxide as the resting state of the catalyst. Further kinetic investigations revealed a striking influence of the base on the rate of phosphane oxide reduction.

Selective Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylation of Alkynes: An Atom-Economic Synthesis of 1,4-Dicarboxylic Acid Diesters

A class of novel diphosphine ligands bearing pyridine substituents was designed and synthesized for the first time. The resulting palladium complexes of L1 allow for chemo- and regioselective dialkoxycarbonylation of various aromatic and aliphatic alkynes affording a wide range of 1,4-dicarboxylic acid diesters in high yields and selectivities. Kinetic studies suggest the generation of 1,4-dicarboxylic acid diesters via cascade hydroesterification of the corresponding alkynes. Based on these investigations, the chemo- and regioselectivities of alkyne carbonylations can be controlled as shown by switching the ligand from L1 to L3 or L9 to give α,β-unsaturated esters.

Synthesis of olefins via a Wittig reaction mediated by triphenylarsine

An arsine-mediated Wittig reaction for the synthesis of olefins is described. After heating triphenylarsine in the presence of an activated alkyl bromide for 30?min, the resulting arsonium salt condensed with aldehydes in as little as 5?min at room temperature, yielding the olefins in high yields. Aromatic, heteroaromatic, and alkyl aldehydes were all suitable substrates for this process.

Palladium nanoparticles immobilized on amphiphilic and hyperbranched polymer-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles: An efficient semi-heterogeneous catalyst for Heck reaction

To address the obstacles facing the use of palladium-based homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts in C─C cross-coupling reactions, a novel semi-heterogeneous support was developed based on hyperbranched poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(citric acid)-functionalized Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@PCA-b-PEG). Because of the surface modification of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles with amphiphilic and hyperbranched polymers (PCA-b-PEG), these hybrid materials are not only soluble in a wide range of solvents (e.g. water, ethanol and dimethylformamide) but also are able to trap Pd2+ ions via complex formation of free carboxyl groups of the PCA dendrimer with metal ions. The reduction of trapped palladium ions in the dendritic shell of Fe3O4@PCA-b-PEG leads to immobilized palladium nanoparticles. The morphology and structural features of the catalyst were characterized using various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The catalyst was effectively used in the palladium-catalysed Mizoroki–Heck coupling reaction in water as a green solvent. In addition, the catalyst can be easily recovered from the reaction mixture by applying an external magnetic field and reused for more than ten consecutive cycles without much loss in activity, exhibiting an example of a sustainable and green methodology.
