Ruthenium-catalyzed cyclization of 2-alkyl-1-ethynylbenzenes via a 1,5-hydrogen shift of ruthenium-vinylidene intermediates

Catalytic cyclization of 2-alkyl-1-ethynylbenzene derivatives was implemented by TpRuPPh3(CH3CN)2PF6 (10 mol %) in hot toluene (105 degrees C, 36-100 h) to form 1-substituted-1H-indene and 1-indanone products; such cyclizations proceeded more efficiently for substrates bearing electron-rich benzenes. We propose that the cyclization mechanism involves a 1,5-hydrogen shift of initial metal-vinylidene intermediate.     

Synthesis of constrained raloxifene analogues by complementary use of Friedel-Crafts and directed remote metalation reactions

New constrained heterocyclic analogues, 2a,b and 3, of Raloxifene (1) have been prepared by complementary Directed remote Metalation (DreM)/Friedel-Crafts cyclization approaches. Utilization of a benzylidene-thiolactone rearrangement was successfully implemented to construct benzothiophenes 13a-c in good yields. Selective deprotection of 13a and 13b induced by complexation followed by triflation gave 18 and 23, thereby allowing efficient Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling with borolane 16 to give biaryls 19 and 24. Treatment of 19 with BCl(3) induced an intramolecular para Fridel-Crafts cyclization and concomitant double deprotection to furnish analogue 2a, a new 5,6,6,6-(C(4)S-C(6)-C(6)-C(6)) sulfur-containing heterocycle. Exposure of 25 with excess LDA induced a DreM cyclization delivering the ortho-substituted 5,6,6,6-(C(4)S-C(6)-C(6)-C(6)) heterocylic analogue 26 in 70% yield. Similar treatment of 13c and 27 afforded 30, representing the novel 5,5,6,6-(C(4)S-C(5)-C(6)-C(6)) ring system, which was subjected to Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling with 16 to give the biaryl 31 in 93% yield; deprotection furnished the final constrained analogue 3.     

1,2-silyl-migrative cyclization of vinylsilanes bearing a hydroxy group: stereoselective synthesis of multisubstituted tetrahydropyrans and tetrahydrofurans(1)

Acid-catalyzed intramolecular addition of a hydroxy group to alpha-alkylated vinylsilanes has been studied. Treatment of (Z)-5-alkyl-5-silyl-4-penten-1-ols 1 (R = alkyl) with 5 mol % TiCl(4) in CHCl(3) gave trans-2-alkyl-3-silyltetrahydropyrans 2 exclusively (trans/cis = >99/1 to 97/3). The cyclization efficiency and rate strongly depended on the geometry of the C-C double bond and the silyl group. The use of (E)-vinylsilanes resulted in lower yields with poor cis-selectivity. In the cyclization of (Z)-1 (R = Bu), the silyl group used, the reaction time, and the yield of 2 were as follows: SiMe(2)Ph, 9.5 h, 75%; SiMe(3), 7.5 h, 66%; SiMePh(2), 24 h, 58%; SiMe(2)-t-Bu, 0.75 h, 85%; SiMe(2)Bn, 1.5 h, 78%. This 1,2-silyl-migrative cyclization could be applied to stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted tetrahydropyrans. The acid-catalyzed reaction of 1-, 2-, or 3-substituted (Z)-5-silyl-4-nonen-1-ols 8 gave r-2,t-3,c-6-, r-2,t-3,t-5-, or r-2,t-3,c-4-trisubstituted tetrahydropyrans with high diastereoselectivity, respectively. (Z)-4-Alkyl-4-silyl-3-buten-1-ols 5 as well as 1 underwent the 1,2-silyl-migrative cyclization to give 2-alkyl-3-silyltetrahydrofurans 6 with high trans-selectivity. This silicon-directed cyclization was also available for the stereoselective synthesis of tri- and tetrasubstituted tetrahydrofurans.     

Effective synthesis of cyclic peptide yunnanin C and analogues via Ser/Thr ligation (STL)-mediated peptide cyclization

Cyclic peptide yunnanin C isolated from the root of Stellaria yunnanensis was efficiently synthesized in which the linear peptide was prepared by Boc-SPPS and the cyclization was realized by serine/threonine ligation (STL)-mediated cyclization. In addition, nine yunnanin C analogues, including mutations of Tyr7Gly, Tyr7Val, Tyr7Pro, Tyr7Phe, Ser1Thr, Pro2Val, Gly5Pro, Phe6Ala and Ile4Ala, were prepared in the same fashion. Here, we demonstrated that STL-mediated peptide cyclization could be an effective approach to construct cyclic peptides. Except that proline at the C-terminus could retard the cyclization process, cyclization of yunnanin C analogues with various C-terminal amino acids proceeded with fast cyclization rate (<4 h) and only trace amount of dimers (<5%) at a working concentration of 5 mM.     

Application of Rh-catalyzed cyclization to the formation of a chiral quaternary carbon

Rh-Catalyzed cyclization was applied to the formation of a chiral quaternary carbon. It has become clear that the Rh-complex can discriminate between isopropenyl and 2-isopentenyl (or isopentyl) substituents, and the cyclization afforded 3,3,4-trisubstituted cyclopentanones with a chiral quaternary carbon in a stereoselective manner. The cyclization of 4-pentenals 6a, b by an achiral neutral Rh(PPh3)3Cl afforded 3,3,4-cis-trisubstituted cyclopentanones (+/-)-7a,b in 86-96%, and the cyclization by a cationic Rh[(R)-BINAP]CIO4 afforded 3,3,4-trans-trisubstituted cyclopentanones (-)-8a, b of 82-86% ee in 88-98% yields. The mechanism of stereoselection by Rh-complexes is also discussed.     

Some fatty acids having an O-heterocycle in their terminal positions. II. ω-(3-Coumarinyl)alkanoic acids and ω-(2-chromonyl)alkanoic acids

Some ω-3-coumarinyl)alkanoic acids 1a , n = 3-6 were synthesized by cyclization of corresponding ethyl o-formylphenyl alkanedioate 3 with DBU followed by hydrolysis. By a similar cyclization, some ω-(2-chromonyl)alkanoic acids 2a , n = 3-6 were also obtained from the cyclization of corresponding o-acetylphenyl ethyl alkanedioate 4 .     

Generation of alpha-phosphonovinyl radicals and development of a new route to highly functionalized vinylphosphonates and vinylphosphonate-incorporated carbocyclic or heterocyclic compounds via a radical trapping sequence

The first direct generation of synthetically useful alpha-phosphonovinyl radicals was achieved by treatment of alpha-phosphonovinyl halides with a tributyltin radical. The alpha-phosphonovinyl radicals 2a-d were trapped with electron-rich olefins and an electron-deficient olefin to produce alpha-functionalized vinylphosphonates 3a-f in 16-55% yields. The alpha-phosphonovinyl radicals 7e-g containing the YCH2CH=CH2 (Y = O, CH2, S) substituent at the beta-position afforded mixtures of 5-exo and 6-endo cyclization products, 5e-g and 6e-g, in good yields. The 5-exo/6-endo product ratios increase in the following order of the beta-substituent: OCH2CH=CH2 > CH2CH2CH=CH2 > SCH2CH=CH2. The effects of the beta-substituents upon the cyclization reaction were discussed. Radical cyclization of alpha-phosphonovinyl radicals bearing functional groups such as geranyloxy, geranylthio, and (2-cyclohexen-1-yl)thio groups at the beta-position afforded 5-exo, 5-exo and 6-endo, and cis-fused-5,6-ring cyclization products incorporating an alpha,beta-unsaturated phosphonate unit within the ring, respectively, in good yields. The alpha-phosphonovinyl radical 20 underwent tandem radical cyclization-radical cyclization to produce a mixture of two isomeric bicyclo[4.3.0]nonenes including a vinylphosphonate moiety in high yield.     

Myers–Saito and Schmittel cyclizations of enyne-(hetero)-1,2,3-trienes: A DFT study on the structure–reactivity relationship

The Myers–Saito (C²–C⁷) cyclization and the alternative Schmittel (C²–C⁶) cyclization of enyne-1,2,3-triene 1R and its hetero analogues 2R–5R were investigated by using pure density functional theory method (BPW91) in connection with the 6-311G(d, p) basis set. It has been shown that heteroatom-containing reactants lower significantly reaction barriers for both cyclization modes and reduce the difference between the barrier of the C²–C⁷ cyclization mode and that of the C²–C⁶ one. The Myers–Saito cyclization of 4R is associated with the smallest reaction barrier and the highest exothermicity. Whereas the Schmittel cyclization of 4R is exothermic, all the others are predicted to be endothermic.     

Synthesis of pyrazinyl compounds from glycerol and 1,2-propanediamine over Cu-TiO2 catalysts supported on γ-Al2O3

Cu-TiO₂ catalysts supported onγ-Al₂O₃ are prepared and used in glycerol cyclization with 1,2-propanediamine to produce pyrazinyl compounds including 6-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrazine,5-hydroxymethyl -2-methyIpyrazine,2,6-dimethylpyrazine and 2,5-dimethylpyrazine in a fixed-bed system.It is found that glycerol cylclization with 1,2-propanediamine gave a high total yield of pyrazinyl compounds（>80%） over Cu-Ti02/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst,and cyclization was through the reactions between activated 1,2-propanediamine and the intermediates from glycerol dehydration and oxidation.In addition,the regioselectivity of the pyrazinyl compounds was mainly controlled by the steric hindrance of the substrates during the cyclization process.     

Rh(I)-catalyzed formal [6 + 2] cycloaddition of 4-allenals with alkynes or alkenes in a tether

Rh(I)-catalyzed formal [6 + 2] cycloaddition of allenal 6 having an alkyne or alkene in a tether proceeded smoothly, giving 5-8- and 6-8-fused bicyclic ketone derivatives 7 in good to excellent yields. It was also found that cyclization of enantiomerically enriched (S)-6a (94% ee) gave cyclic ketone derivative (S)-7a in high yield with reasonable chirality transfer (86% ee). This result indicates that this cyclization proceeds through stereoselective formation of rhodacycle H' followed by insertion of a multiple bond.     

Quantitating the effect of an ortho substituent on cyclization and intramolecular hydrogen-transfer reactions of aryl radicals

Reduction of allyl 2-iodobenzyl malonates with triphenyltin hydrides generates aryl radicals that partition between 6-exo cyclization, 7-endo cyclization, and 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer. Rate constants for all of these processes are high (>10(8) M(-)(1) s(-)(1)), and the rates are only marginally reduced (<33%) by the introduction of methyl group ortho to the reacting radical.     

Platinum-catalyzed intramolecular alkylation of indoles with unactivated olefins

Reaction of 1-methy-2-(4-pentenyl)indole (1) with a catalytic amount of PtCl2 (2 mol %) in dioxane that contained a trace of HCl (5 mol %) at 60 degrees C for 24 h led to the isolation of 4,9-dimethyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole (2) in 92% yield. Platinum-catalyzed cyclization of 2-(4-pentenyl)indoles tolerated substitution at each position of the 4-pentenyl chain. Furthermore, the protocol was applicable to the synthesis of tetrahydro-beta-carbolinones and was effective for cyclization of unprotected indoles. 2-(3-Butenyl)indoles underwent platinum-catalyzed cyclization with exclusive 6-endo-trig regioselectivity. Mechanistic studies established a mechanism for the platinum-catalyzed cyclization of 2-alkenyl indoles involving nucleophilic attack of the indole on a platinum-complexed olefin.     

Photochemistry of N‐(2‐Acylphenyl)‐2‐methylprop‐2‐enamides: Competition between Photocyclization and Long‐Range Hydrogen Abstraction

The photochemical reactions of various ‘N‐methacryloyl acylanilides’ (=N‐(acylphenyl)‐2‐methylprop‐2‐enamides) have been investigated. Under irradiation, the acyl‐substituted anilides 1a – 1c and 1o afforded exclusively the corresponding quinoline‐based cyclization products of type 2 (Table 1). In contrast, irradiation of the benzoyl (Bz)‐substituted anilides 1e – 1h afforded a mixture of the open‐chain amides 4e – 4h and the cyclization products 2e – 2h . Irradiation of the para‐acyl‐substituted anilides 6a – 6e and 6h afforded the corresponding quinoline‐based cyclization products of type 5 as the sole products (Table 2). The formation of the cyclization products 2a – 2c and 2o can be rationalized in terms of 6π‐electron cyclization, followed by thermal [1,5] acyl migration, and that of compounds 3p, 5a – 5e , and 5h can be explained by a 6π‐electron cyclization only. The formation of the open‐chain amides 4e – 4h probably follows a mechanism involving a 1,7‐diradical, C and a spirolactam of type D (Scheme). Long‐range ζ‐H abstraction by the excited carbonyl O‐atom of the benzoyl group on the aniline ring is expected to proceed via a nine‐membered cyclic transition state, as proposed on the basis of X‐ray crystallographic analyses (Fig. 2).     

Ruthenium-catalyzed cyclization of epoxide with a tethered alkyne: formation of ketene intermediates via oxygen transfer from epoxides to terminal alkynes

Treatment of (o-ethynyl)phenyl epoxides with TpRuPPh(3)(CH(3)CN)(2)PF(6) (10 mol %) in hot toluene (100 degrees C, 3-6 h) gave 2-naphthols or 1-alkylidene-2-indanones very selectively with isolated yields exceeding 72%, depending on the nature of the epoxide substituents. Surprisingly, the reaction intermediate proved to be a ruthenium-pi-ketene species that can be trapped efficiently by alcohol to give an ester compound. This phenomenon indicates a novel oxygen transfer from epoxide to its terminal alkyne catalyzed by a ruthenium complex. A plausible mechanism is proposed on the basis of reaction products and the deuterium-labeling experiment. The 2-naphthol products are thought to derive from 6-endo-dig cyclization of (o-alkenyl)phenyl ketene intermediates, whereas 1-alkylidene-2-indanones are given from the 5-endo-dig cyclization pathway.     

Regiospecific synthesis of 1-acetamide-5-methoxy-2-oxindoles in two steps: (Ugi-SN2)/xanthate mediated free radical cyclization

A series of twelve novel 1-acetamide-5-methoxy-2-oxindoles were prepared in moderate to good yields (30–88%) by an Ugi-S_N2 one pot process with a xanthate mediated free radical cyclization. Additionally, Density Functional Theory (DFT) based calculations were performed at UB3LYP/6-311G(d) level in order to rationalize the energy profile of the xanthate mediated free radical cyclization because the benzo-fused γ-lactams (ortho products) were obtained as sole regioisomers over the spiro β-lactams (ipso products).     

Synthesis of new methylated thieno[2,3‐a] and [3,2‐b]carbazoles by reductive cyclization of 6‐(2′‐Nitrophenyl)benzo[b]thiophenes obtained by palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling isabel

The synthesis of new methylated thieno[2,3‐a] and [3,2‐b]carbazoles (5) (R=H) was achieved by a palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling, intramolecular reductive cyclization sequence of reactions. The cyclization precursors 6‐(2′‐nitrophenyl)benzo[b]thiophenes (3) were obtained by Suzuki cross‐coupling of 6‐boronated methylbenzo[b]thiophenes intermediates (2) with 2‐bromo or iodonitrobenzene. The boronated intermediates (2) were prepared via bromine‐lithium exchange followed by boron transmetalation and coupled in situ using Pd(OAc)₂ giving thus a “one‐pot” three steps reaction from the 6‐bromobenzo[b]thio‐phenes (1) to the cyclization precursors (3) . In the reductive cyclization step, N‐ethylthienocarbazoles (5) (R=Et) were also obtained. Several experiments have been made varying the amount of triethylphosphite and the time of reaction, to avoid their formation.     

A synthesis of hydrothiopyran-3-ones. The intramolecular cyclization of allylthiopropionyl and propargylthioacetyl chlorides

Intramolecular cyclization of 2-(allylthio)propionyl chloride ( 3a ) effected by aluminum chloride gave two dihydrothiopyran-3-ones ( 5a,6a ) and 5-chloro-2-methyltetrahydrothiopyran-3-one ( 7a ). Treatment of propargylthioacetyl chloride ( 4a ) with aluminum chloride afforded 5-chloro-3,6-dihydro-2H-thiopyran-3-one ( 10a ). The cyclization reactions of related compounds were also studied.     

Facile ring-closure cyclization of arenes by nucleophilic C-alkylation reaction in ionic liquid

A novel synthetic method using an ionic liquid (IL) for a six-membered ring-closure cyclization is described. The ring-closure cyclization by nucleophilic C-alkylation was achieved with various halo- and alkanesulfonyloxyalkyl aromatic compounds in high yields with minimal byproducts using ILs as the reaction media in the absence of any catalyst. For example, the cyclization of 2-(3-methanesulfonyloxy-propoxy)naphthalene (1a) to 2,3-dihydro-1H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran (2) in IL [bmim][PF₆] proceeded selectively at 150 °C for 24 h in 85% yield.     

A short synthetic route to (+)-austamide, (+)-deoxyisoaustamide,and (+)-hydratoaustamide from a common precursor by a novel palladium-mediated indole --> dihydroindoloazocine cyclization

The first synthesis of (+)-austamide (1), (+)-deoxyisoaustamide (2), and (+)-hydratoaustamide (10) by a very direct route is described (Scheme 1). Starting from tryptophan methyl ester (3) intermediate 5 is generated in two steps in >98% overall yield. The key step in the synthesis is a novel cyclization of 5 involving organopalladium intermediates which gives the dihydroazocine 6. From this key intermediate the target structures are accessible in just a few steps as shown in Scheme 1. The remarkable conversion of 5 --> 6 can be rationalized by the mechanistic pathway shown in Scheme 2 that involves a multistep sequence which includes palladation, cyclization, and rearrangement.
