Cross-linked poly(4-vinylpyridine/styrene) copolymers as a support for immobilization of ytterbium triflate

Eight cross-linked poly(4-vinylpyridine/styrene) (P/S) resins (as beads) were prepared by radical suspension polymerization. Ytterbium triflate was immobilized in the range of 0.10-0.24 mmol/g by mixing with the P/S resins. The ytterbium triflate-immobilized P/S resins exhibited good activity in two Lewis acid-catalyzed reactions. Low pyridine containing resins were recycled with no loss of activity, while a slight loss of activity was observed with the higher pyridine containing resins.

Facile synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines and julolidines through multicomponent reaction

Aldehydes, anilines and enol ethers react in trifluoroethanol (TFE) through an aza-Diels-Alder reaction (Povarov reaction) to afford the corresponding substituted tetrahydroquinolines. This reaction occurs, without any catalyst, under sequential three-com

Dimensional Reduction of Lewis Acidic Metal-Organic Frameworks for Multicomponent Reactions

Owing to hindered diffusions, the application of porous catalytic materials has been limited to relatively simple organic transformations with small substrates. Herein we report a dimensional reduction strategy to construct a two-dimensional metal-organic framework (MOF), Zr6OTf-BTB, with 96% accessible Lewis acidic sites as probed by the bulky Lewis base pivalonitrile. With nearly free substrate accessibility, Zr6OTf-BTB outperformed two three-dimensional MOF counterparts of similar Lewis acidity (Zr6OTf-BPDC and Zr6OTf-BTC) in catalyzing sterically hindered multicomponent reactions (MCRs) for the construction of tetrahydroquinoline and aziridine carboxylate derivatives with high turnover numbers (TONs). Zr6OTf-BTB was also superior to the homogeneous benchmark Sc(OTf)3 with nearly 14 times higher TON and 9 times longer catalyst lifetime. Furthermore, the topology-activity relationships in these Zr-based Lewis acidic MOFs were rationalized by comparing their Lewis acidity, numbers of Lewis acidic sites, and sterically accessible Lewis acidic sites. Zr6OTf-BTB was successfully used to construct several bioactive molecules via MCRs with excellent efficiency. This dimensional reduction strategy should allow the development of other MOF catalysts for synthetically useful and complicated organic transformations.

Sodium Salts of Anionic Chiral Cobalt(III) Complexes as Catalysts of the Enantioselective Povarov Reaction

The sodium salts of anionic chiral cobalt(III) complexes (CCC?Na+) have been found to be efficient catalysts of the asymmetric Povarov reaction of easily accessible dienophiles, such as 2,3-dihydrofuran, ethyl vinyl ether, and an N-protected 2,3-dihydropyrrole, with 2-azadienes. Ring-fused tetrahydroquinolines with up to three contiguous stereogenic centers were thus obtained in high yields, excellent diastereoselectivities (endo/exo up to >20:1), and high enantioselectivities (up to 95:5 e.r.).

Natural product inspired diversity oriented synthesis of tetrahydroquinoline scaffolds as antitubercular agent

An efficient natural product inspired diversity oriented syn thesis of tetrahydroquinoline analogues has been developed using the natural carbohydrate derived solid acid catalyst via multicomponent aza-Diels-Alder reaction of imine (generated in situ from

New findings on the cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate catalyzed Povarov reaction: Stereoselective synthesis of 4-alkoxy-2-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline derivatives

Cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate catalyzes the three-component, imino Diels-Alder (Povarov) reaction between anilines, aromatic aldehydes, and acyclic vinyl ethers, giving cis-4-alkoxy-2-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines with almost complete diastereoselectivi

Aza-Diels-Alder reaction in fluorinated alcohols. A one-pot synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines

Hexafluoroisopropanol and trifluoroethanol are found to promote imino-Diels-Alder reactions of the N-aryl aldimine 1 with alkyl vinyl ethers to afford the corresponding tetrahydroquinolines in good yields without Lewis acid under mild and neutral conditions. The reaction is also efficient in a three component process from aldehyde, amine and vinyl ethers.

Imino-Diels-Alder and imino-aldol reactions catalyzed by samarium diiodide

In the presence of a catalytic amount of samarium diiodide in methylene chloride, aromatic imines react with Danishefsky diene to form tetrahydropyridine-4-ones in high yields. Under the same conditions, various imino-aldol reactions afford β-amino esters or β-amino ketones.
