Hou, Jinsong,Yang, Gaosheng,Chai, Zhuo
, p. 453 - 463 (2022/01/04)
A tandem insertion of aliphatic nitriles and unactivated alkenes to the N-H bond of secondary aliphatic amines catalyzed by simple trialkyl rare-earth metal complexes was disclosed. This reaction provides a highly atom-economic and stereoselective way to a range of cyclic amidines under mild reaction conditions.

Endergonic isomerizations are thermodynamically unfavored processes that are difficult to realize under thermal conditions. We report a photocatalytic and diastereoselective isomerization of acyclic cinnamyl chlorides to strained cyclopropanes. Quantum mechanical calculations (uM06-2X and DLPNO), including TD-DFT calculations, and experimental studies provide evidence for the energy transfer from an iridium photocatalyst to the allylic chloride substrate followed by C-Cl homolytic cleavage. Subsequent Cla￠ radical migration forms a localized triplet 1,3-diradical intermediate that, after intersystem crossing, undergoes ring-closing to form the desired product. The mild reaction conditions are compatible with a broad range of functional groups to generate chlorocyclopropanes in high yields and diastereoselectivities. A more efficient process is developed by addition of a catalytic amount of a nickel complex, and we propose a novel role for this cocatalyst to recycle an allyl chloride byproduct generated in the course of the reaction. The reaction is also shown to be stereoconvergent, as an E/Z mixture of cinnamyl chlorides furnish the anti-chlorocyclopropane product in high diastereoselectivity. We anticipate that the use of a visible light activated photocatalyst to transform substrates in combination with a transition metal catalyst to recycle byproducts back into the catalytic cycle will provide unique opportunities for the discovery of new reactivity.
Intramolecular photocycloaddition reactions of 2- and 4-(5-arylpent-4-enyl)-1-cyanonaphthalenes
Maeda, Hajime,Enya, Kouhei,Negoro, Naoki,Mizuno, Kazuhiko
, p. 173 - 184 (2019/02/15)
Photoreactions of 1-cyanonaphthalene derivatives containing 5-arylpent-4-enyl groups at C-2 or C-4 of the naphthalene ring were investigated. Photoreactions of C-2 derivatives in benzene or CH3CN generated intramolecular [2 + 2] and [3 + 2] photocycloadducts. Substances bearing electron-rich and electron-poor phenyl groups produced respective [2 + 2] and [3 + 2] photocycloadducts preferentially. In contrast, photoreactions of C-4 linked 1-cyanonaphthalenes produced intramolecular [4 + 2] photocycloadducts as main products along with stereoisomers of tricyclic compounds as minor products. The formation of [4 + 2] photocycloadducts was promoted by using benzophenone or Michler's ketone triplet photosensitization, and quenched by O2 or ferrocene. Intramolecular singlet exciplexes, which serve as important intermediates in the mechanistic pathways for these reactions, governed the site-selectivities in photoreactions of both of the 2- and 4-(5-arylpent-4-enyl)-1-cyanonaphthalenes. In addition, [4 + 2] photocycloadducts were observed to undergo di-π-methane rearrangement under irradiation conditions to produce angular triquinane derivatives.

A method for the oxidative arylacetoxylation of alkenes has been developed to synthesize indole and indoline derivatives from readily accessible substrates. The cinnamyl tethered anilines with picolinamide as a directing group provided 3-substituted indoles via intramolecular oxidative arylacetoxylation, and the 2-methyl substituted cinnamyl anilines furnished indoline derivatives with 3-position quaternary stereocenters in good to excellent yields via sequential intramolecular oxidative arylacetoxylation, hydrolysis and oxidation steps.

, p. 13526 - 13530 (2015/09/22)
The gold(I) complex catalyzed cycloisomerization and skeletal rearrangement of 1,n-enynes (n=5-7) is a powerful methodology for the efficient synthesis of complex molecular architectures. In contrast to 1,6-enynes, readily accessible homologous 1,7-enynes are largely unexplored in such transformations. Here, the divergent skeletal rearrangement of all-carbon 1,7-enynes by catalysis with a cationic gold(I) complex is reported. Depending on electronic and steric factors, differently substituted 1,7-enynes react via different carbocations formed from a common gold carbene intermediate to yield on the one hand novel exocyclic allenes and on the other hand tricyclic hexahydro-anthracenes through a novel dehydrogenative Diels-Alder reaction. Two birds with a gold-stone! Divergent gold(I) catalysis unraveled a novel cycloisomerization and a dehydrogenative Diels-Alder reaction of 1,7-enynes.

The first rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular [5 + 2] cycloaddition of 3-acyloxy 1,4-enyne and alkene was developed. The cycloaddition is highly diastereoselective in most cases. Various cis-fused bicyclo[5.3.0]decadienes were prepared stereoselectively. The chirality in the propargylic ester starting materials could be transferred to the bicyclic products with high efficiency. Electron-deficient phosphine ligand greatly facilitated the cycloaddition. Up to three new stereogenic centers could be generated. The resulting diene in the products could be hydrolyzed to enones, which allowed the introduction of more functional groups to the seven-membered ring.

A series of novel Diallyl disulfide (DADS) derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as chemical agents, which target and modulate multiple facets of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The results showed that the target compounds 5a-l and 7e-m exhibited significant anti-Aβ aggregation activity, considerable acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition, high selectivity towards AChE over butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), potential antioxidant and metal chelating activities. Specifically, compounds 7k and 7l exhibited highest potency towards self-induced Aβ aggregation (74% and 71.4%, 25 μM) and metal chelating ability. Furthermore, compounds 7k and 7l disaggregated Aβ fibrils generated by Cu2+-induced Aβ aggregation by 80.9% and 78.5%, later confirmed by transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis. Besides, 7k and 7l had the strongest AChE inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 0.056 μM and 0.121 μM, respectively. Furthermore, molecular modelling studies showed that these compounds were capable of binding simultaneously to catalytic active site (CAS) and peripheral anionic site (PAS) of AChE. All the target compounds displayed moderate to excellent antioxidant activity with ORAC-FL values in the range 0.546-5.86 Trolox equivalents. In addition, absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) profile and toxicity prediction (TOPKAT) of best compounds 7k and 7l revealed that they have drug like properties and possess very low toxic effects. Collectively, the results strongly support our assertion that these compounds could provide good templates for developing new multifunctional agents for AD treatment.
Congested C-C bonds by Pd-catalyzed enantioselective allyl-allyl cross-coupling, a mechanism-guided solution

, p. 7092 - 7100 (2014/06/09)
Under the influence of a chiral bidentate diphosphine ligand, the Pd-catalyzed asymmetric cross-coupling of allylboron reagents and allylic electrophiles establishes 1,5-dienes with adjacent stereocenters in high regio-and stereoselectivity. A mechanistic study of the coupling utilizing reaction calorimetry and density functional theory analysis suggests that the reaction operates through an inner-sphere 3,3′-reductive elimination pathway, which is both rate-defining and stereodefining. Coupled with optimized reaction conditions, this mechanistic detail is used to expand the scope of allyl-allyl couplings to allow the generation of 1,5-dienes with tertiary centers adjacent to quaternary centers as well as a unique set of cyclic structures.

A one-pot synthetic route for preparing functionalized p-terphenyl derivatives 1 and 4 is developed. The route is easily carried from the treatment of cinnamyl aldehydes 2 with substituted allylsulfones 3 in good yields via the tandem intermolecular aldol condensation/intramolecular electrocyclization/ oxidative dehydrogenation.

Catalytic enantioselective allyl-allyl cross-coupling of a borylated allylboronate reagent gives versatile borylated chiral 1,5-hexadienes. These compounds may be manipulated in a number of useful ways to give functionalized chiral building blocks for asymmetric synthesis.
