Binaphthyl-prolinol chiral ligands: Design and their application in enantioselective arylation of aromatic aldehydes

Binaphthyl-prolinol ligands were designed and applied in enantioselective arylation of aromatic aldehydes and sequential arylation-lactonization of methyl 2-formylbenzoate. Under optimized conditions, the reactions provided the desired diarylmethanols and 3-aryl phthalides in up to 96% yields with up to 99% ee and up to 89% yields with up to 99% ee, respectively. In particular, essentially optically pure 3-aryl phthalides (over 99% ee) were obtained in large quantities through recrystallization. This journal is

Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of 3-aryl phthalides enabled by arylation-lactonization of 2-formylbenzoates

The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of 3-aryl phthalides is reported through a sequential asymmetric arylation-lactonization reaction. The reaction is enabled by a boron-zinc exchange to generate reactive arylating agents, which react with 2-formylbenzoates in the presence of a chiral amino naphthol ligand. The enantiodetermining step is the arylation of the aldehyde, which then undergoes a lactonization event to yield the corresponding phthalides in good yields and enantioselectivities.

Catalytic asymmetric 1,2-Addition/Lactonization tandem reactions for the syntheses of chiral 3-Substituted phthalides using organozinc reagents

Using chiral phosphoramide ligand 2d-Zn (II) complex derived from (1R,2R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine as the catalyst, we have developed efficient catalytic asymmetric 1,2-addition/lactonization tandem reactions of diverse organozinc reagents with varied methyl 2-formylbenzoates for the construction of optically enriched 3-aryl or alkyl substituted phthalides, which are significant building blocks of many important chiral pharmaceuticals and natural products. The corresponding products could be afforded with good to excellent yields (up to 95%) and moderate to good enantioselectivities (up to 89%).

Rhenium-Catalyzed Phthalide Synthesis from Benzamides and Aldehydes via C-H Bond Activation

The [4 + 1] annulation of benzamides and aldehydes for phthalide synthesis was achieved via rhenium-catalyzed C-H activation, which demonstrates an unprecedented reaction pattern distinct from those of other transition-metal catalyses. The reaction also features readily available starting materials, a wide scope for both electro-rich and electro-deficient substrates, and the elimination of homoannulation byproducts.

Rhodium or palladium-catalyzed cascade aryl addition/intramolecular lactonization of phthalaldehydonitrile to access 3-aryl and 3-alkenyl phthalides

A rhodium or palladium-catalyzed addition of boronic acids to phthalaldehydonitrile, followed by an intramolecular lactonization of cyano to access 3-substituted phthalides, is described. This procedure tolerates a series of functional groups, such as methoxy, fluoro, chloro, and vinyl groups. It is a novel procedure for the synthesis of 3-arylphthalides.

Rhodium or palladium-catalyzed cascade aryl addition/ intramolecular lactonization of phthalaldehyde with potassium organotrifluoroborates to access 3-arylphthalides

An efficient rhodium-catalyzed lactonization of phthalaldehyde with potassium organotrifluoroborates to access 3-arylphthalides has been developed. Moreover, palladium is a also good catalyst for such transformation.

Chemical Equation Reprentation First one and then the other: A rhodiumcatalyzed addition of aryl and alkenyl boronic acids to phthalaldehyde and subsequent intramolecular esterification is described (see scheme; cod = l,5-cyclooctadiene, dppb = 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane). The method is facile and practical for accessing 3-aryl and 3-alkenyl phthalides in moderate to good yields. Several functional groups are tolerated under the reaction conditions.

Palladium-catalyzed cascade aryl addition/intramolecular lactonization of phthalaldehyde to access 3-aryl- and alkenylphthalides

A palladium-catalyzed addition of arylboronic acids to phthalaldehyde, followed by an intramolecular lactonization to access 3-substituted phthalides, is described. The procedure tolerates a series of functional groups, such as methoxyl, fluoro, chloro, and trifluoromethyl groups. It represents a procedure for the synthesis of 3-substituted phthalides.

Transition metal-catalyzed addition reactions of arylboronic acids with alkyl 2-formylbenzoates: Efficient access to chiral 3-substituted phthalides

Transition metal-catalyzed addition of arylboronic acids to 2-formylbenzoates afforded 3-substituted phthalides. By using SPINOL-based phosphites as ligands, a Rh(i)-catalyzed asymmetric version of such an addition reaction was achieved. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2010.

Synthesis and characterization of benzannelated thienyl oligomers

An array of 1,3-diarylbenzo[c]thiophenes have been synthesized by the ring-opening of lactones followed by thionation using Lawesson's reagent with concurrent intramolecular cyclization. Photophysical studies of the various benzo[c]thiophene analogues are presented. The results of a cyclic voltammetric investigation of the benzo[c]thiophenes are also reported.
