Catalytic Asymmetric Hydroacyloxylation/Ring-Opening Reaction of Ynamides, Acids, and Aziridines

A highly enantioselective three-component reaction of ynamides with carboxylic acids and 2,2′-diester aziridines has been realized by using a chiral N,N′-dioxide/Ho(OTf)3 complex as a Lewis acid catalyst. The process includes the formation of an α-acyloxyenamide intermediate through the addition of carboxylic acids to ynamides and the following enantioselective nucleophilic addition to in-situ-generated azomethine ylides induced by the chiral catalyst. A range of amino acyloxyenamides are delivered in moderate to good yields with good ee values. In addition, a possible catalytic cycle with a transition model is proposed to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

Catalytic Asymmetric Three-component Hydroacyloxylation/ 1,4-Conjugate Addition of Ynamides

A highly enantioselective three-component hydroacyloxylation/1,4-conjugate addition of ortho-hydroxybenzyl alcohols, ynamides and carboxylic acids was developed under mild reaction conditions in the presence of a chiral N,N′-dioxide/Sc(OTf)3 complex, which went through in situ generated ortho-quinone methides with α-acyloxyenamides, delivering a range of corresponding chiral α-acyloxyenamides derivatives containing gem(1,1)-diaryl skeletons in moderate to good yields with excellent ee values. The scale-up experiment and further derivation showed the practicality of this catalytic system. In addition, a possible catalytic cycle and transition state model was proposed to elucidate the origin of the stereoselectivity based on X-ray crystal structure of the α-acyloxyenamide intermediate and product.

Sulfilimines as Versatile Nitrene Transfer Reagents: Facile Access to Diverse Aza-Heterocycles

We herein report the unprecedented synthesis of diverse biologically important aza-heterocycles by employing sulfilimines as nitrene transfer reagents. This class of sulfur-based aza-ylides had not been successfully used for gold nitrene transfer before. This work contains an efficient generation of α-imino gold carbenes by N?S cleavage of sulfilimines. These gold carbenes undergo C?H insertion, cyclopropanation, and nucleophilic attack to form indoles (44 examples), 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-imines (24 examples), and imidazoles (3 examples). Our study represents a unique gold-catalyzed reaction between alkynes and sulfur ylides, and also includes the first aza-heterocycle synthesis that proceeds by intermolecular nitrene transfer followed by cyclopropanation of the α-imino gold carbenes. Moreover, an unexpected synthesis of 4-acylquinolines (3 examples) from 2-acylphenyl sulfilimines and propargylic silyl ether derivatives by a 1,2-hydride shift onto the α-imino gold carbene and a subsequent Mukaiyama aldol cyclization was discovered.

N-Pyridinyl Sulfilimines as a Source for α-Imino Gold Carbenes: Access to 2-Amino-Substituted N-Fused Imidazoles

Gold-catalyzed formal 1,3-dipolar annulation between readily accessible N-pyridinylsulfilimines and ynamides is reported. A diverse set of imidazole derivatives is prepared from the corresponding sulfilimines and ynamides. These functionalized cyclic products can undergo further transformations to afford diverse imidazole frameworks. Moreover, in situ synthesis is feasible and shows good potential in the synthesis of nucleoside analogues.

Ynamides as Racemization-Free Coupling Reagents for Amide and Peptide Synthesis

A highly efficient, two-step, one-pot synthetic strategy for amides and peptides was developed by employing ynamides as novel coupling reagents under extremely mild reaction conditions. The ynamides not only are effective for simple amide and dipeptide synthesis but can also be used for peptide segment condensation. Importantly, no racemization was detected during the activation of chiral carboxylic acids. Excellent amidation selectivity toward amino groups in the presence of -OH, -SH, -CONH2, ArNH2, and the NH of indole was observed, making the protection of these functional groups unnecessary in amide and peptide synthesis.
