, (2020/12/02)
Here we report a one-pot synthesis of multisubstituted spiroindolenines from a series of tryptamine derivatives with γ-chloro-α,β-unsaturated ketones. The reaction sequence consists of base-induced condensation and silica gel-promoted intramolecular Michael addition. The target molecules are afforded in up to 90% yield with up to >20:1 diastereoselectivity.

Oxanorbornadienes (ONDs) undergo facile Michael addition with thiols and then fragment by a retro-Diels-Alder (rDA) reaction, a unique two-step sequence among electrophilic cleavable linkages. The rDA reaction rate was explored as a function of the furan

Photoredox catalytic cyclization of aryl enones in the presence of visible light, promoted either by metals or organic dyes, represent a valuable strategy for the synthesis of cycloalkanes. The development of a stereoselective version of such transformation, in the presence of the metal-free catalyst Eosin Y was studied, with the aim to realize an efficient protocol for the in-flow synthesis of enantiomerically enriched functionalized cyclopentane rings, taking advantage of the flow reactors technology. The use of a chiral auxiliary on the bisenone to be cyclized offers a straightforward and convenient option to exert a stereocontrol on the light-driven cyclization. By exploiting Evans’ oxazolidinones, the stereoselective light-driven cyclization affords, after the removal of the chiral auxiliary, a functionalized 1,2-trans cyclopentane ring in up to 83/17 enantiomeric ratio. When the reaction was performed in continuo, in a homemade coil photoreactor, high yields were observed. The cyclization was also successfully realized in a 3D-printed mesoreactor, without any change in the diastereoseletctivity of the process.

The development of non-natural reaction mechanisms is an attractive strategy for expanding the synthetic capabilities of substrate promiscuous enzymes. Here, we report an "ene"-reductase catalyzed asymmetric hydroalkylation of olefins using α-bromoketones as radical precursors. Radical initiation occurs via ground-state electron transfer from the flavin cofactor located within the enzyme active site, an underrepresented mechanism in flavin biocatalysis. Four rounds of site saturation mutagenesis were used to access a variant of the "ene"-reductase nicotinamide-dependent cyclohexanone reductase (NCR) from Zymomonas mobiles capable of catalyzing a cyclization to furnish β-chiral cyclopentanones with high levels of enantioselectivity. Additionally, wild-type NCR can catalyze intermolecular couplings with precise stereochemical control over the radical termination step. This report highlights the utility for ground-state electron transfers to enable non-natural biocatalytic C-C bond forming reactions.

Herein we describe a nickel-catalyzed remote hydrosilylation of unconjugated enones with bulky triphenylsilane. A range ofZ-silyl enol ethers are obtained as major isomers due to the process of nickel triggered alkene isomerization. Notably, some specific

The metallo-radical activation of ortho-allylcarbonyl-aryl N-arylsulfonylhydrazones with the paramagnetic cobalt(II) porphyrin catalyst [CoII(TPP)] (TPP = tetraphenylporphyrin) provides an efficient and powerful method for the synthesis of novel 8-membered heterocyclic enol ethers. The synthetic protocol is versatile and practical and enables the synthesis of a wide range of unique 1H-2-benzoxocins in high yields. The catalytic cyclization reactions proceed with excellent chemoselectivities, have a high functional group tolerance, and provide several opportunities for the synthesis of new bioactive compounds. The reactions are shown to proceed via cobalt(III)-carbene radical intermediates, which are involved in intramolecular hydrogen transfer (HAT) from the allylic position to the carbene radical, followed by a near-barrierless radical rebound step in the coordination sphere of cobalt. The proposed mechanism is supported by experimental observations, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and spin trapping experiments.

Herein, we report highly diastereoselective arylative cyclization of enone-tethered cyclohexadienonesviaRh(iii)-catalyzed C-H activation ofN-methoxybenzamides. This reaction proceeds through the formation of a five-membered rhodacycle followed by bis-Michael cascade annulation to access functionalized bicyclic scaffolds with four contiguous stereocenters with a broad substrate scope. These products have excellent functional handles, allowing further synthetic transformation to increase the structural complexity. Furthermore, mechanistic studies of arylative cyclization and a gram-scale experiment are also presented.

Hydrolysis of quaternary arylphosphonium zwitterions bearing COO? and those in situ generated from the corresponding salts bearing Ac or OH at the aryl ring by using excess t-BuOK and stoichiometric water affords tertiary arylphosphine oxides in moderate to excellent yield, in contrast to hydrolysis of these zwittertion or salts in aqueous NaOH that mainly provides phosphine oxides with the loss of the aryl group. Under the t-BuOK/water conditions, hydrolysis of carbonyl stabilized ylides Ph3P = CHCOR (R = Ph, Me, and OEt), which partially exist as phosphonium enolates, prefers to produce Ph2P(O)CH2COR. Further reduction of Ph2P(O)CH2COMe by PhSiH3 allows the preparation of Ph2PCH2COMe in 43% yield.
Substituent effects in the formation of a few acenaphthenone-2-ylidene ketones and their molecular docking studies and in silico ADME profile

We observed intriguing substituent effects in the reaction between 4-substituted acetophenones and acenaphthenequinone in the presence of KOH in methanol. In all cases, expected Claisen-Schimdt condensation was the first step. However, depending on the nature of 4-substituent on acetophenone, the initially formed condensation product remain unchanged or underwent Domino sequence of reactions to give three different 2:2 adducts arising through three distinct pathways. The interactions of acenaphthenone-2-ylidene ketones with the target proteins were performed by molecular docking studies. The prediction of in silico ADME belongings of the synthesized compounds revealed substantial drug-likeness characters based on Lipinski's rules.

Herein, we report the manganese catalyzed coupling of alcohols with phosphorus ylides. The selectivity in the coupling of primary alcohols with phosphorus ylides to form carbon-carbon single (C?C) and carbon-carbon double (C=C) bonds can be controlled by the ligands. In the conversion of more challenging secondary alcohols with phosphorus ylides the selectivity towards the formation of C?C vs. C=C bonds can be controlled by the reaction conditions, namely the amount of base. The scope and limitations of the coupling reactions were thoroughly evaluated by the conversion of 21 alcohols and 15 ylides. Notably, compared to existing methods, which are based on precious metal complexes as catalysts, the present catalytic system is based on earth abundant manganese catalysts. The reaction can also be performed in a sequential one-pot reaction generating the phosphorus ylide in situ followed manganese catalyzed C?C and C=C bond formation. Mechanistic studies suggest that the C?C bond was generated via a borrowing hydrogen pathway and the C=C bond formation followed an acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling pathway. (Figure presented.).
