Palladium-catalyzed [4 + 2] cycloaddition of aldimines and 1,4-dipolar equivalents via amphiphilic allylation

The combination of Pd catalyst and diethylzinc with triethylborane promotes the amphiphilic allylation of aldimines with 2,3-bismethylenebutane-1,4-diol derivatives to serve as bis-allylic zwitterion species to form 3,4-bismethylenepiperidines via a formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction. 3,4-Bismethylenepiperidine rings are applicable for the synthesis of isoquinoline derivatives via the Diels-Alder reaction followed by an oxidation reaction with DDQ.

Asymmetric hydrogenation of furans and benzofurans with iridium-pyridine-phosphinite catalysts

Enantioselective hydrogenation of furans and benzofurans remains a challenging task. We report the hydrogenation of 2- and 3-substituted furans by using iridium catalysts that bear bicyclic pyridine-phosphinite ligands. Excellent enantioselectivities and high conversions were obtained for monosubstituted furans with a 3-alkyl or 3-aryl group. Furans substituted at the 2-position and 2,4-disubstituted furans proved to be more difficult substrates. The best results (80-97% conversion, 65-82% enantiomeric excess) were obtained with monosubstituted 2-alkylfurans and 2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan. Benzofurans with an alkyl substituent at the 2- or 3-position also gave high conversions and enantioselectivity, whereas 2-aryl derivatives showed essentially no reactivity. The asymmetric hydrogenation of a 3-methylbenzofuran derivative was used as a key step in the formal total synthesis of the cytotoxic naphthoquinone natural product (-)-thespesone.

Synthesis of furans through silver-catalyzed propargyl-claisen rearrangement followed by cyclocondensation

The generation of highly substituted furans from propargyl vinyl ethers bearing a free hydroxy group was investigated. In the presence of catalytic amounts of AgBF4, a formal [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement takes place in the first stage of the

Facile synthesis of dihaloheterocycles via electrophilic iodocyclization

An efficient and facile electrophilic iodocyclization for the synthesis of various O-, N-, and S-containing dihaloheterocycles has been developed. A wide range of the substituted propargyl alcohols having -OH, -NTs, and -SAc functional groups reacted with molecular iodine or bromoiodine at ambient temperature to produce the corresponding dihalogenated O-, N-, and S-containing five- and six-membered heterocycles in good to high yields; Under optimized solvent conditions, the reactions of various substituted but-2-yn-1-ones bearing -OH, -NTs, and -SAc functional groups at C4-position, with iodine or bromoiodine at ambient temperature afforded the corresponding 3,4-diiodo- and 3-bromo-4-iodo-substituted furans, pyrroles, and thiophenes in good to high yields. Further transformation of the resulting iodine- or bromine-containing products to polyaromatics potentially of useful as organo-material intermediates has been investigated.

Preparation, structure, and unique thermal [2 + 2], [4 + 2], and [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions of 4-vinylideneoxazolidin-2-one

The terminal allene Cα=Cβ bonds of 4-vinylidene-2-oxazolidinone (2) readily undergo [2 + 2] cycloaddition with a wide variety of terminal alkynes, alkenes, and 1,3-dienes irrespective of their electronic nature under strictly thermal activation conditions (70-100°C) and provide 3-substituted (Z)-methylenecyclobutenes 6, 3-substituted methylenecyclobutanes 7 and 8, and 3-vinylmethylenecyclobutanes 9, respectively, in good to excellent yields. Alkenes react with 2 with complete retention of configuration. The [2 + 2] cycloaddition is concluded to proceed via a concerted [(π2s + π2s)allene + π2s] Hueckel transition state on the basis of experimental evidences and quantum mechanical methods. Some highly polarized enones and nitrile oxide, on the other hand, react with 2 selectively at the internal C4=Cα double bonds and give spiro compounds 10 and 11, respectively. The bent allene bonds (173-176°) and the unique reactivity associated with 2 are attributed to a low-lying LUMO (Cα=Cβ) that is substantiated by a through-space σ*(N-SO2)-π*(Cα= Cβ) orbital interaction.

Conversion of (Z)-1,4-dihydroxyalk-2-enes into 2,5-dihydrofurans and of alkane-1,4-diols into tetrahydrofurans via acid-catalysed cyclisation of the monoisoureas formed by their copper(I)-mediated reactions with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide

(Z)-1,4-dihydroxyalk-2-enes were converted into 2,5-dihydrofurans and alkane-1,4-diols were converted into tetrahydrofurans via acid-catalysed cyclisation of the monoisoureas. The reaction involved protonation of the carbodiimide by acidic phenol followed by reaction with alkanol. Pd/CaCo3-quinoline catalyst system was employed in the presence of a little triethylamine to overcome partial hydrogenolysis.

Silver(I)-catalyzed aminocyclization of 2,3-butadienyl and 3,4-pentadienyl carbamates: An efficient and stereoselective synthesis of 4-vinyl-2-oxazolidinones and 4-vinyltetrahydro-2H-1,3-oxazin-2-ones

Silver(I) salts in combination with an appropriate base (mostly triethylamine) catalyzed the aminocyclization of N-substituted 2,3-butadienyl carbamates 1 (benzene, 50°C) to provide 4-vinyl-2-oxazolidinones 2 in good yields. The stereoselectivity (trans-2/cis-2) ranged from 1.4 for C5-Me to >30 for C5-phenyl, isopropenyl, and t-butyl derivatives. 3,4-Pentadienyl tosylcarbamates 3, the one-carbon higher homologues of 1, underwent a similar cyclization to give 4-vinyltetrahydro-2H-1,3-oxazin-2-one 4 in synthetically useful yields and in higher trans selectivities than 1.
