An aromatic ion platform for enantioselective Br?nsted acid catalysis

Chiral acid catalysts are useful for the synthesis of enantioenriched small molecules, but the standard catalysts require laborious and expensive preparations. Here, we describe a chiral Br?nsted acid prepared in one step from naturally occurring (-)-menthol and readily available 1,2,3,4,5-pentacarbomethoxycyclopentadiene. Aromatic stabilization serves as a key contributing factor to the potent acidity of the resulting compound, which is shown to catalyze both Mukaiyama-Mannich and oxocarbenium aldol reactions with high efficiency and enantioselectivity. Catalyst loadings as low as 0.01 mole percent and preparative scalability (25 grams) are demonstrated. Alternative amide catalysts are also shown to be promising platforms. In addition to proton catalysis, a chiral anion pathway is demonstrated to be viable with this catalyst system.

COMBINATIONS OF HEPATITIS C VIRUS INHIBITORS

The present disclosure is generally directed to antiviral compounds, and more specifically directed to combinations of compounds which can inhibit the function of the NS5A protein encoded by Hepatitis C virus (HCV), compositions comprising such combinations, and methods for inhibiting the function of the NS5A protein.

Mesoporous aluminosilicate-catalyzed Mukaiyama aldol reaction of aldehydes and acetals

A mesoporous aluminosilicate (Al-MCM-41) was found to be an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the reaction of both aldehydes and acetals with silyl enol ethers or ketene silyl acetals to give the corresponding aldol adducts in moderate to high yields. The remarkable high catalytic activity of Al-MCM-41 over amorphous silica-alumina and aluminum-free mesoporous silicate was observed in the reaction. The solid acid catalyst could be recovered easily by filtration and the recovered catalyst was reusable in the same reactions without a significant loss of catalytic activity.

Strong Lewis acid air-stable cationic titanocene perfluoroalkyl(aryl) sulfonate complexes as highly efficient and recyclable catalysts for C-C bond forming reactions

A series of strong Lewis acid air-stable titanocene perfluoroalkyl(aryl) sulfonate complexes Cp2Ti(OH2)2(OSO 2X)2·THF (X = C8F17, 1·THF; X = C4F9, 2·H2O· THF; X = C6F5, 3) were successfully synthesized by the treatment of Cp2TiCl2 with C8F 17SO3Ag, C4F9SO3Ag and C6F5SO3Ag, respectively. In contrast to well-known titanocene bis(triflate), these complexes showed no change in open air over three months. TG-DSC analysis showed that 1·THF, 2·H 2O·THF and 3 were thermally stable at 230 °C, 220°C and 280°C, respectively. Conductivity measurements showed that these complexes underwent ionic dissociation in CH3CN solution. X-ray analysis results confirmed that 2·H2O·THF and 3 were cationic. ESR spectra showed that the Lewis acidity of 1·THF (1.06 eV) was higher than that of Sc3+ (1.00 eV) and Y3+ (0.85 eV). UV/Vis spectra showed a significant red shift due to the strong complex formation between 10-methylacridone and 2·H2O·THF. Fluorescence spectra showed that the Lewis acidity of 2 (λem = 477 nm) was higher than that of Sc3+ (λem = 474 nm). These complexes showed high catalytic ability in various carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. Moreover, they show good reusability. Compared with 1·THF, 2·H2O·THF and 3 exhibit higher solubility and better catalytic activity, and will find broad applications in organic synthesis. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.

Anion-Binding Catalysis by Electron-Deficient Pyridinium Cations

A new activation principle in organocatalysis is presented: halide binding through Coulombic interactions. This mode of catalysis was realized by using 3,5-di(carbomethoxy)pyridinium ions that carry an additional electron-withdrawing substituent on the nitrogen atom, for example, pentafluorobenzyl or cyanomethyl. For the N-pentafluorobenzyl derivative, Coulombic interaction with the pyridinium moiety is complemented in the solid state by anion-π interactions with the perfluorophenyl ring. Bromide and chloride are bound by these cations in a 1:1 stoichiometry. Catalysis of the C-C coupling between 1-chloroisochroman (and related electrophiles) with silyl ketene acetals occurs at -78 °C and at low catalyst loading (2 mol %).

Cage-shaped borate esters with tris(2-oxyphenyl)methane or -silane System frameworks bearing multiple tuning factors: Geometric and substituent effects on their lewis acid properties

Boron complexes that contain new tridentate ligands, tris(o-oxyaryl) methanes and -silanes, were prepared. These complexes had a cage-shaped structure around a boron center and showed higher Lewis acidity and catalytic activity than open-shaped boron compounds. The cage-shaped ligands determined the properties of the borates by altering the geometry and were consistently bound to the metal center by chelation. The synthesized compounds were L·B(OC6H4)3CH, L·B(OC 6H4)3SiMe, and its derivatives (L=THF or pyridine as an external ligand). Theoretical calculations suggested that the cage-shaped borates had a large dihedral angle (Cipso-O-B-O) compared with open-shaped borates. The geometric effect due to the dihedral angle means that compared with open-shaped, the cage-shaped borates have a greater Lewis acidity. The introduction of electron-withdrawing groups on the aryl moieties in the cage-shaped framework increased the Lewis acidity. Substitution of a bridgehead Si for a bridgehead C decreased the Lewis acidity of the boron complexes because the large silicon atom reduces the dihedral angle of C ipso-O-B-O. The ligand-exchange rates of the para-fluoro-substituted compound B(OC6H3F)3CH and the ortho-phenyl-substituted compound B(OC6H3Ph)3CH were less than that of the unsubstituted borate B(OC6H 4)3CH. The ligand-exchange rate of B(OC6H 4)3SiMe was much faster than that of B(OC 6H4)3CH. A hetero Diels-Alder reaction and Mukaiyama-type aldol reactions were more effectively catalyzed by cage-shaped borates than by the open-shaped borate B(OPh)3 or by the strong Lewis acid BF3·OEt2. The cage-shaped borates with the bulky substituents at the ortho-positions selectively catalyzed the reaction with less sterically hindered substrates, while the unsubstituted borate showed no selectivity.

Cationic iridium complex is a new and efficient Lewis acid catalyst for aldol and Mannich reactions

A cationic iridium complex [Ir(cod)2]SbF6 was found to be a new and efficient Lewis acid catalyst for Mukaiyama aldol and Mannich reactions. Aldehydes react smoothly with silyl enol ethers to give β-siloxy ketones in the presence of 0.5 mol % of [Ir(cod)2]SbF6. The reaction of N-alkyl arylaldimines with ketene silyl acetals in the presence of 5 mol % [Ir(cod)2]SbF6/P(OPh)3 gave β-amino esters. After Mannich reaction was complete, stirring of the reaction mixture for 24 h led to cyclization to give β-lactam. The reaction of N-aryl benzaldimine with silyl enol ether derived from acetophenone gave a tetrahydroquinoline derivative as a single diastereomer.

Organotin perfluorooctanesulfonates as air-stable Lewis acid catalysts: Synthesis, characterization, and catalysis

The reactions of 1,3-dichloro-1,1,3,3-tetrabutyldistannoxane and di-alkyltin dihalides with silver perfluoro-octanesulfonate provided the corresponding sulfonates as hydrates. The number of water molecules (n) of hydration was dependent on the conditions. The distannoxane derivative was identified as n from 0.5 to 6, while in the hydrated mononuclear species and DMSO complexes n varied widely from 4 to 13. 119Sn NMR spectroscopy and conductivity measurements indicated the ionic dissociation of these compounds in solution. These compounds exhibited unusually high solubility in polar organic solvents. The ionic dissociation together with facile hydration probably causes the unusual solubility. The Lewis acidity of these compounds was found to be high among organotin derivatives on the basis of ESR spectra of Superoxide/ metal-ion complexes. In contrast to well-known organotin Inflates, these compounds suffered no hydrolysis upon storage in open air. The high catalytic activity of the distannoxane 1 was exemplified for various carboncarbon bond-forming reactions, such as Mukaiyama-aldol as well as -Michael reactions and allylation of aldehydes.

Diastereoselective multicomponent cyclizations of fischer carbene complexes, lithium enolates, and allylmagnesium bromide leading to highly substituted five- and six-membered carbocycles

The one-pot sequential reaction of a chromium alkoxycarbene complex, a ketone or ester lithium enolate, and allylmagnesium bromide enabled the selective synthesis of novel diastereomerically pure pentasubstituted cyclopentanols or tetrasubstituted 1,4-cyc

(2,7-Disubstituted-1,8-biphenylenedioxy)bis(dimethylaluminum) as Bidentate Organoaluminum Lewis Acids: Elucidation and Synthetic Utility of the Double Electrophilic Activation Phenomenon

A series of (2,7-disubstituted-1,8-biphenylenedioxy)bis(dimethylaluminum) (2) has been readily prepared in situ by treatment of the requisite 2,7-disubstituted-1,8-biphenylenediol (1) with Me3Al (2 equiv) in CH2Cl2 at room temperature; this primarily relies on the successful establishment of a new synthetic procedure of 1 starting from inexpensive m-anisidine. Evaluation of 2 as a bidentate organoaluminum Lewis acid has been performed by the reduction of ketonic substrates using Bu 3SnH as a hydride source in comparison to the conventional monodentate Lewis acid dimethylaluminum 2,6-xylenoxide (11), uncovering the significantly high activation ability of 2 toward carbonyl. Particularly, (2,7-dimethyl-1,8-biphenylenedioxy)-bis(dimethylaluminum) (2a) exerted the highest reactivity, which has also been emphasized in the Mukaiyama aldol reaction. The structure of the bidentate Lewis acid 2 was unambiguously determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 2g possessing a bulky 3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl substituent, revealing the rigid dimeric assembly in the solid state. The double electrophilic activation of carbonyl substrate by 2a has been supported by low-temperature 13C NMR analysis as well as theoretical study using the Gaussian 98 program. Moreover, unique stereoselectivity has been observed in the 2a-promoted Mukaiyama Michael addition, and highly chemoselective functionalization of carbonyl compounds in the presence of their acetal counterparts has been realized using 2a. Finally, the effectiveness of 2a for the activation of ether functionality has been demonstrated in the Claisen rearrangement of allyl vinyl ethers.
