SuperQuat N-acyl-5,5-dimethyloxazolidin-2-ones for the asymmetric synthesis of alpha-alkyl and beta-alkyl aldehydes

The proclivity of alpha-branched N-2'-benzyl-3'-phenylpropionyl derivatives of (S)-4-benzyl-5,5-dimethyl-, (S)-4-phenyl-5,5-dimethyl-, (S)-4-isopropyl-5,5-dimethyl-, (S)-4-benzyl- and (S)-4-benzyl-5,5-diphenyl-oxazolidin-2-ones to generate directly 2-benzyl-3-phenylpropionaldehyde upon hydride reduction with DIBAL is investigated. The (S)-4-benzyl-5,5-dimethyl-derivative proved optimal for inhibition of endocyclic nucleophilic attack, giving 2-benzyl-3-phenylpropionaldehyde in good yield upon reduction. Application of this methodology for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral aldehydes via diastereoselective enolate alkylation of a range of (S)-N-acyl-4-benzyl-5,5-dimethyloxazolidin-2-ones to afford and array of alpha-substituted-N-acyl-5,5-dimethyloxazolidin- 2-ones (85-94% de) and subsequent reduction with DIBAL afforded directly non-racemic alpha-substituted aldehydes without loss of stereochemical integrity (87-94% ee). The extension of this protocol for the asymmetric synthesis of beta-substituted aldehydes is demonstrated, via the diastereoselective conjugate addition of a range of organocuprates to (S)-N-acyl-4-phenyl-5,5-dimethyloxazolidin-2-ones which proceeds with high diastereoselectivity (generally > 95% de). Reduction of the conjugate addition products with DIBAL gives non-racemic beta-substituted aldehydes in high yields and in high ee (generally > 95% ee). This methodology is exemplified by the asymmetric synthesis of (R)-3-isopropenylhept-6-enal, which has previously been used in the synthesis of (3Z,6R)-3-methyl-6-isopropenyl-3,9-decadien-1-yl acetate, a component of the sex pheromones of the California red scale.

Photolysis of N-benzyl-N-phenylearbamoylazide (IVc) afforded 1-benzy 1-2-benzimidazolinone (Ic), 2-benzimidazolinone (IIe), 4-benzy 1-2-benzimidazolinone (IIe), and 5-benzy1-2-benzimidazo-linone (IIf)- The same reaction of N-benzyl-N-(4-chlorophenyl) carbamoyl azide (IVd) gave 3-benzyl-1-(phenylhydrazocarbonyl)-2-benzimidazolinone (VIb) besides the above four products. In the case of N-benzyl-4-(4-butoxyphenyl)carbamoyl azide (IVe), 1-benzy1-5-butoxy-2-benz-imidazolinone (1e), 5-butoxy-2-benzimidazolinone (IId), 5-benzy1-2-benzimidazolinone (IIf), and 4-benzy1-6-butoxy-2-benzimidazolinone (IIg).     

Asymmetric cycloaddition reactions of diazoesters with 2-alkenoic acid derivatives catalyzed by binaphthyldiimine-Ni(II) complexes

The catalytic activity of chiral binaphthyldiimine (BINIM)-Ni(II) complexes for asymmetric enantioselective diazoalkane cycloadditions of ethyl diazoacetate with 3-acryloyl-2-oxazolidinone and 2-(2-alkenoyl)-3-pyrazolidinone derivatives was evaluated. The cycloadditions of 3-acryloyl-2-oxazolidinone and its 5,5-dimethyl derivative, in the presence of the BINIM-Ni(II) complex (10 mol %; prepared from (R)-BINIM-4Ph-2QN (ligand C) and Ni(ClO(4))(2)·6H(2)O) afforded 2-pyrazolines having a methine carbon substituted with an oxazolidinonyl group in moderate ratios (70:30 to 72:28), along with high enantioselectivities (90-92% ee) via 1,3-proton migration. On the basis of the investigations on the counteranions of the Ni(II) complex, the N-substituent of pyrazolidinone, and reaction temperatures, the optimal enantioselectivity (97% ee) and ratio (85:15) of 2-pyrazoline were obtained for the reaction of 2-acryloyl-1-benzyl-5,5-dimethyl-3-pyrazolidinone in the presence of (R)-BINIM-4Ph-2QN-Ni(II) ((R)-C/Ni(II)) complex prepared using Ni(BF(4))(2)·6H(2)O. In the cases of 1-benzyl-2-crotonoyl-5,5-dimethyl-3-pyrazolidinone, 1-benzyl-2-(2-butenoyl)-5,5-dimethyl-3-pyrazolidinone, and 1-benzyl-5,5-dimethyl-2-(3-ethoxycarbonyl)propenoyl-3-pyrazolidinone, the use of the (R)-BINIM-2QN-Ni(II) ((R)-A/Ni(II)) complex gave good to high enantioselectivities (85-93% ee) with the sole formation of the 2-pyrazoline having a methine carbon substituted with a pyrazolidinonyl group. Relatively good enantioselectivity (77% ee) was observed for the reaction between 2-acryloyl-5,5-dimethyl-1-naphthylmethyl-3-pyrazolidinone and an α-substituted diazo ester, ethyl 2-diazo-3-phenylpropanoate, which has yet to be employed as a diazo substrate in asymmetric cycloaddition reactions catalyzed by a chiral Lewis acid.

In several cases the regiochemistry, which is opposite to that predicted by FMO theory, is very high and leads essentially to a single pyrrolo[3,4-b]indole; e.g., 6+13→19 in 74% yield.

Reaction of Zinc Enolates of Alkyl Esters of Substituted 4-Bromo-3-Oxoalkanoic Acids with Aldehydes

Zinc enolates formed from ethyl 4-bromo-2,2,4-trimethyl-3-oxopentanoate react under the conditions of one- of two-stage synthesis with aliphatic, unsaturated, or aromatic aldehydes to form 6-R-2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydropyran-2,4-diones.

New thiourea organocatalysts and their application for the synthesis of 5-(1H-indol-3-yl)methyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones a source of chiral 3-indoylmethyl ketenes

The stereoselective properties of modified thiourea organocatalysts were tested in the Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indole with 5-arylidene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones, which produces chiral 5-((1H-indol-3-yl)(aryl)methyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones. Based on a tentative reaction mechanism for ((S)-N-benzyl-2-(3-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)thioureido)-N,3,3-trimethylbutanamide organocatalysts, modifications were applied in four selected regions. Systematic structure-stereoselectivity relationship study allowed designing the best efficient organocatalyst for the investigated Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indole with 5-arylidene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones.

Benzomorphan related compounds. XIII. Syntheses of 2,6-methanopyrrolo[1,2-d] [1,4]diazocines

Two alternative syntheses of 2,6-methanopyrrolo[1,2-d][1,4]diazocines (I) based in the acidic cyclization of 2-(1-pyrrolylmethyl)tetrahydropyridines are described. In the first synthetic route, lithium aluminum hydride reduction of 2-cyano-1,4-dimethyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (IIa) followed by reaction of the resulting primary amine with 2,5-diethoxytetrahydrofuran affords the requisite tetrahydropyridine IVa. An analogous sequence from 2-cyano-4,6-di-methylpyridine (V) leads to the corresponding 2-(1-pyrrolylmethyl)pyridine VII which by quaternization and borohydride reduction yields a mixture of isomeric tetrahydropyridines, precursors of the pyrrolodiazocine systems Ib and Ic. Structural and stereochemical assignment of the synthesized compounds are discussed.     

Substituted γ-Lactones. 35 . Reduction of 4-aroyl-3-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanones

The reduction of 4-aroyl-3-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanons 1a-c was investigated using different reducing agents. Sodium borohydride reacts with type 1 compounds by loss of water to yield 4-(arylmethylene)-2,3(4H,5H)-furandiones 2a-c . Platinum or charcoal supported by pallodium chloride transforms 1a to 4-benzyl-3-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone ( 3). Compounds 2a and 2b react with o-phenylenediamine to give 3-(E-(1′-hydroxymethyl-2′-aryl)ethenyl]-2-quinoxalinones 4a and 4b . The lactone 3 under the same conditions splits out formaldehyde and forms 3-(2′-phenylethyl)-2-quinoxalinone ( 6 ). The structure assignments of the novel compounds are based on elemental analysis and nmr as well as ir spectroscopic data.

A hypothetical mechanism about the formation of 1 and 2 is suggested.
