Selective carbene transfer to amines and olefins catalyzed by ruthenium phthalocyanine complexes with donor substituents

Electron-rich ruthenium phthalocyanine complexes were evaluated in carbene transfer reactions from ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) to aromatic and aliphatic olefins as well as to a wide range of aromatic, heterocyclic and aliphatic amines for the first time. It was revealed that the ruthenium octabutoxyphthalocyanine carbonyl complex [(BuO)8Pc]Ru(CO) is the most efficient catalyst converting electron-rich and electron-poor aromatic olefins to cyclopropane derivatives with high yields (typically 80-100%) and high TON (up to 1000) under low catalyst loading and nearly equimolar substrate/EDA ratio. This catalyst shows a rare efficiency in the carbene insertion into amine N-H bonds. Using a 0.05 mol% catalyst loading, a high amine concentration (1 M) and 1.1 eq. of EDA, a number of structurally divergent amines were selectively converted to mono-substituted glycine derivatives with up to quantitative yields and turnover numbers reaching 2000. High selectivity, large substrate scope, low catalyst loading and practical reaction conditions place [(BuO)8Pc]Ru(CO) among the most efficient catalysts for the carbene insertion into amines.

Comparative Study of the Electronic Structures of μ-Oxo, μ-Nitrido, and μ-Carbido Diiron Octapropylporphyrazine Complexes and Their Catalytic Activity in Cyclopropanation of Olefins

The electronic structure of three single-Atom bridged diiron octapropylporphyrazine complexes (FePzPr8)2X having Fe(III)-O-Fe(III), Fe(III)-N-Fe(IV) and Fe(IV)-C-Fe(IV) structural units was investigated by M?ssbauer spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In this series, the isomer shift values decrease, whereas the values of quadrupole splitting become progressively greater indicating the increase of covalency of Fe-X bond in the μ-oxo, μ-nitrido, μ-carbido row. The M?ssbauer data point to low-spin systems for the three complexes, and calculated data with B3LYP-D3 show a singlet state for μ-oxo and μ-carbido and a doublet state for μ-nitrido complexes. An excellent agreement was obtained between B3LYP-D3 optimized geometries and X-ray structural data. Among (FePzPr8)2X complexes, μ-oxo diiron species showed a higher reactivity in the cyclopropanation of styrene by ethyl diazoacetate to afford a 95% product yield with 0.1 mol % catalyst loading. A detailed DFT study allowed to get insight into electronic structure of binuclear carbene species and to confirm their involvement into carbene transfer reactions.

Metal-free domino Cloke-Wilson rearrangement-hydration-dimerization of cyclopropane carbaldehydes: A facile access to oxybis(2-aryltetrahydrofuran) derivatives

In this work, we have demonstrated a metal-free transformation of cyclopropane carbaldehydes to oxybis(2-aryltetrahydrofuran) derivatives via a domino Cloke-Wilson rearrangement-hydration-dimerization sequence. Commercially inexpensive p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA) was used as a Br?nsted acid catalyst, and reactions were conducted in an open-flask. Detection of reaction intermediates were carried to get an insight into the reaction pathway.

Regioselective Br?nsted Acid-Catalyzed Annulation of Cyclopropane Aldehydes with N′-Aryl Anthranil Hydrazides: Domino Construction of Tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2- a]quinazolin-5(1 H)ones

A highly regioselective synthesis of tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinazolin-5(1H)one derivatives was achieved by reacting cyclopropane aldehydes with N′-aryl anthranil hydrazides in the presence of p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA). The transformation involves domino imine formation and intramolecular cyclization to form 2-arylcyclopropyl-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-one, followed by nucleophilic ring opening of the cyclopropyl ring to form desired tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinazolin-5(1H)one in good to excellent yield with complete regioselectivity. This protocol tolerates a great variety of functional groups and thus provides a simple and step-efficient method for pyrroloquinazolinone synthesis.

Lewis Acid Catalyzed Annulation of Cyclopropane Carbaldehydes and Aryl Hydrazines: Construction of Tetrahydropyridazines and Application Toward a One-Pot Synthesis of Hexahydropyrrolo[1,2- b]pyridazines

In this report, a facile synthesis of tetrahydropyridazines via a Lewis acid catalyzed annulation reaction of cyclopropane carbaldehydes and aryl hydrazines has been demonstrated. Moreover, the generated tetrahydropyridazine further participated in a cycloaddition reaction with donor-acceptor cyclopropanes to furnish hexahydropyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazines. We also performed these two steps in one pot in a consecutive manner. In addition, a monodecarboxylation reaction of hexahydropyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine was achieved with a good yield.

Exploitation of Cyclopropane Carbaldehydes to Prins Cyclization: Quick Access to (E)-Hexahydrooxonine and Octahydrocyclopenta[ b]pyran

A single-step TiX4-mediated Prins-type cyclization of cyclopropane carbaldehydes with 3-buten-1-ol for the highly stereoselective construction of relatively strained (E)-hexahydrooxonines is reported. Switching the alcohol to 3-butyn-1-ol prompted a similar route, augmented by another cyclization within a nine-membered ring to afford a bicyclized product (4,4-dihalo-5-aryloctahydrocyclopenta[b]pyran). Easy transformation of the resulting geminal dihalide to a vinyl halide and a ketone further supplemented the substance of this approach.

Novel selective inhibitors of neutral endopeptidase for the treatment of female sexual arousal disorder

A series of substituted glutaramides were synthesised using Candoxatrilat 1 as a lead and evaluated for potency against neutral endopeptidase (NEP) as a potential treatment for female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD). In this paper, we describe studies in which we were able to increase NEP activity substantially over the levels reported for previous compounds from this programme by appropriate substitution in both the P1′ and P2′ regions. Optimisation led to the 4-chlorophenpropylamide S-30 which was selected as a candidate for further study.

Asymmetric cyclopropanation of alkenes and diazocarbonyl insertion into S-H bonds catalyzed by a chiral porphyrin Ru(II) complex

A homochiral porphyrin ruthenium(II) complex catalyzes the cyclopropanation of styrene derivatives with ethyl diazoacetate with good yields and moderate enantiomeric excesses (46-52%). The catalyst is also active for diazocarbonyl compound insertion into S-H bonds, but with low ee.
