新型氰化物在Strecker反应合成α-氨基腈中的应用

不同催化体系下腈的水合反应研究进展

腈可用于构建新的碳-碳、碳-杂原子键,所得产物丰富多样.酰胺基团广泛存在于医药、农药和天然产物中,此外,酰胺还是有机合成反应中重要的中间体.在目前报道的酰胺类化合物的合成方法中,腈的水合反应已成为学术界和工业界最广泛使用的获得初级酰胺类化合物的方法之一.早期腈的水合反应中通常涉及强酸、强碱的使用,但在该类反应体系下,往往存在产率低及反应选择性差等问题,且所得酰胺容易过度水解成羧酸.为了克服这一局限实现腈的高效水合,且满足绿色化学的要求,近年来,不同的催化体系相继被开发,如过渡金属配合物催化剂、金属阳离子催化剂、金属纳米粒子催化剂、离子液体催化剂及其它类型催化剂.对这些催化体系下腈的水合反应研究进行阐述和总结,并对该领域的发展前景进行了展望.

Alkyne insertion into cyclometallated pyrazole and imine complexes of iridium, rhodium and ruthenium; relevance to catalytic formation of carbo- and heterocycles

The cyclometallated complexes [MCl(C^N)(ring)] (HC^N = 2-phenylpyrazole, M = Ir, Rh ring = Cp*; M = Ru, ring = p-cymene) readily undergo insertion reactions with RC≡CR (R = CO(2)Me, Ph) to give mono insertion products, the rhodium complex also reacts with PhC≡CH regiospecifically to give an analogous product. The products of the reactions of the cyclometallated imine complexes [MCl(C^N)Cp*] (HC^N = PhCH=NR, R = Ph, CH(2)CH(2)OMe, Me; M = Ir, Rh) with PhC≡CPh depend on the substituent R; when R = CH(2)CH(2)OMe a monoinsertion is observed, however for R = Me the initial insertion product is unstable, undergoing reductive elimination with loss of the organic fragment, and for R = Ph no metal-containing product is isolated. With PhC≡CH the cyclometallated imine complexes can give mono or di-insertion products. The implications for catalytic synthesis of carbo- and heterocycles by a tandem C-H activation, alkyne insertion mechanism are discussed.     

Enantio- and diastereoselective Michael addition reactions of unmodified aldehydes and ketones with nitroolefins catalyzed by a pyrrolidine sulfonamide

Chiral (S)-pyrrolidine trifluoromethanesulfonamide has been shown to serve as an effective catalyst for direct Michael addition reactions of aldehydes and ketones with nitroolefins. A wide range of aldehydes and ketones as Michael donors and nitroolefins as acceptors participate in the process, which proceeds with high levels of enantioselectivity (up to 99 % ee) and diastereoselectivity (up to 50:1 d.r.). The methodology has been employed successfully in an efficient synthesis of the potent H(3) agonist Sch 50917. In addition, a practical three-step procedure for the preparation of (S)-pyrrolidine trifluoromethanesulfonamide has been developed. The high levels of stereochemical control attending Michael addition reactions catalyzed by this pyrrolidine sulfonamide, have been investigated by using ab initio and density functional methods. Transition state structures for the rate-limiting C--C bond-forming step, corresponding to re- and si-face addition to the reactive conformation of the key enamine intermediates have been calculated. Analysis of these structures indicates that hydrogen bonding plays an important role in catalysis and that the energy barrier for si-face attack in reactions of aldehydes to form 2R,3S products is lower than that for the re-face attack leading to 2S,3R products. In contrast, the energy barrier for re-face addition is lower than that for si-face addition in reactions of ketones. The computational results, which are in good agreement with the experimental observations, are discussed in the context of the stereochemical course of these Michael addition reactions.     

A general approach to high-yielding asymmetric synthesis of chiral 3-alkyl-4-nitromethylchromans via cascade Barbas-Michael and acetalization reactions

A general approach to the high-yielding asymmetric synthesis of chiral 3-alkyl-4-nitromethylchromans as drug intermediates was achieved through cascade Barbas-Michael and acetalization (BMA) reactions on 2-(2-nitrovinyl)phenols with aldehydes in the presence of a catalytic amount of (R)-DPPOTMS and PhCO(2)H. Herein, we have also demonstrated the application of chiral BMA products in the synthesis of functionalized chromanes and chromenes in very good yields with high optical purity, which are very useful compounds in medicinal chemistry.     

Asymmetric synthesis of hexapropionate synthons by sequential enantiotopic group selective enolization of meso diketones

Meso 1,9-diketones (six to seven stereocenters) are readily obtained by stepwise or simultaneous two-directional aldol reactions of tetrahydro-4H-thiopyran-4-one with a thiopyran-derived aldehyde or dialdehyde. Enantioselective enolizations of these diketones with the lithium amide from (R,R)-bis(1-phenylethyl)amine occur with simultaneous kinetic resolution to give the mono-TMS enol ethers in >90% yields (BORSM) and >95% ee. The products are applicable to polypropionate synthesis. [reaction: see text]     

金属催化的2(5H)-呋喃酮反应研究进展

Chemoenzymatic asymmetric total syntheses of antitumor agents (3R,9R,10R)- and (3S,9R,10R)-Panaxytriol and (R)- and (S)-Falcarinol from Panax ginseng using an enantioconvergent enzyme-triggered cascade reaction

Total asymmetric synthesis of two components of Panax ginseng showing antitumor activity, i.e., (3R,9R,10R)- and (3S,9R,10R)-Panaxytriol and of both enantiomers of Falcarinol was accomplished. Due to the fact that the synthetic strategy was based on enantioconvergent biotransformations, the occurrence of any undesired stereoisomer was entirely avoided. The absolute configuration of naturally occurring Panaxytriol was confirmed to be (3R,9R,10R) on the basis of optical rotation values. It was shown that enzyme-triggered cascade reactions represent a valuable tool for the synthesis of natural products.     

Solid-phase synthesis of an oxalic acid amide library

Monoamides of oxalic acid are of interest as bioisosteric replacements for phosphate groups in the design of new enzyme inhibitors. Here, we have demonstrated the use of oxalic acid as a linker to the Wang resin to synthesize individual or libraries of phosphate biosteres. The highly reactive resin-bound acid chloride reacts with arylamines to yield resin-bound N-aryloxamic acids (oxanilic acids). This methodology is especially useful for the rapid synthesis of 2-(oxalylamino)benzoic acids (OBAs), because it can be utilized for library synthesis and eliminates the intermediate purification step necessary in solution-phase reactions. The products are cleaved off the resin with trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane in good yields.

Ring-closure reactions of 1,2-diaza-4,5-benzoheptatrienyl metal compounds: experiment and theory

2-Alkenylbenzylidene hydrazones 5a-m, which are accessible in good to excellent yields in a four-step synthesis, are converted into 1,2-diaza-4,5-benzoheptatrienyl metal compounds 1a-m by treatment with KO-t-Bu as base. These metal compounds undergo the various types of reactions in good yields and exclusively depending on the nature of substituents R(1) and R(3). Thus, metal compounds 1a-c carrying alkyl substituents R(1) and R(3) form 3H-benzodiazepines 6a-c after electrophilic quench of the intermediate cyclic anion 7 in a 7-endo-trig electrocyclic reaction with a mo?bius aromatic transition structure 1(-)-TS. Similarly, a benzothienyl derivative 5n is converted into diazepine 6d. Potassium compounds 1d-h, which are N-methyl and aryl substituted at R(3), form 1,2-dihydrophthalazines 8a-e in a predominantly charge-controlled 6-exo-trig cyclization reaction. In contrast, aryl-aryl-substituted systems 5i-m did not lead to cyclic products upon deprotonation, but the intermediate open-chain metal compounds 1i-m were trapped by acid chlorides at N1 to yield the hydrazides 10a-e. We interpret thermodynamics and kinetics of these reactions in the context of the Baldwin rules on the basis of quantum chemical calculations and discuss the transition structures considering the results of NICS and NBO-charge calculations. Examples of the products 6, 8, and 10 could be characterized by X-ray diffraction.
