The late-stage introduction of diverse heterocycles onto complex small molecules enables efficient access to new medicinally relevant compounds. An attractive approach to such a transformation would utilize the ubiquitous aliphatic C–H bonds of a complex substrate. Herein, we report a system that enables direct C–H heteroarylation using a stable, commercially available O-alkenylhydroxamate with heterocyclic sulfone partners. The C–H heteroarylation proceeds efficiently with a range of aliphatic substrates and common heterocycles, and is a rare example of heteroarylation of strong C–H bonds. Importantly, the present approach is amenable to late-stage functionalization as the substrate is the limiting reagent in all cases.The late-stage introduction of diverse heterocycles onto complex small molecules enables efficient access to new medicinally relevant compounds. 相似文献

The development of useful synthetic tools to label amino acids within a peptide framework for the ultimate modification of proteins in a late-stage fashion is a challenging task of utmost importance within chemical biology. Herein, we report the first Pd-catalyzed C–H acylation of a collection of Tyr-containing peptides with aldehydes. This water-compatible tagging technique is distinguished by its site-specificity, scalability and full tolerance of sensitive functional groups. Remarkably, it provides straightforward access to a high number of oligopeptides with altered side-chain topology including mimetics of endomorphin-2 and neuromedin N, thus illustrating its promising perspectives toward the diversification of structurally complex peptides and chemical ligation.A novel Pd-catalyzed C–H acylation reaction with readily available aldehydes under an aqueous environment towards the assembly of non-protegenic acylated Tyr-containing oligopeptides is presented. 相似文献

We report here a sequential enantioselective reduction/C–H functionalization to install contiguous stereogenic carbon centers of benzocyclobutenols and cyclobutanols. This strategy features a practical enantioselective reduction of a ketone and a diastereospecific iridium-catalyzed C–H silylation. Further transformations have been explored, including controllable regioselective ring-opening reactions. In addition, this strategy has been utilized for the synthesis of three natural products, phyllostoxin (proposed structure), grandisol and fragranol.We report here a sequential enantioselective reduction/C–H functionalization to install contiguous stereogenic carbon centers of benzocyclobutenols and cyclobutanols.Molecules with inherent ring strain have gained considerable interest in the synthetic community.1 Among them, four-membered ring molecules have been recognized as powerful building blocks in organic synthesis.2 Driven by ring strain releasing, the reactions of carbon–carbon bond cleavage have been extensively studied in recent years.3 Meanwhile, cyclobutane motifs represent important structural units in natural product and bioactive molecules as well (Scheme 1).4 Therefore, a general and robust method to constitute four-membered ring derivatives is of great value, especially in an enantiomerically pure form.5Open in a separate windowScheme 1Representative cyclobutane-containing bioactive molecules.[2 + 2]-Cycloaddition6 and the skeleton rearrangement reaction7 are two primary methods to prepare chiral cyclobutane derivatives. Recently, the precision modification of four-membered ring skeletons to access enantioenriched cyclobutane derivatives has attracted emerging attention. Several strategies have been developed, including allylic alkylation,8 α-functionalization,9 conjugate addition10 and C–H functionalization11 of prochiral or racemic cyclobutane derivatives (Scheme 2a).12 However, the enantioselective synthesis of chiral benzocyclobutene derivatives is still underdeveloped.13 Although two efficient palladium-catalyzed C–H activation strategies have been developed by Baudoin14 and Martin15 groups via similar intermediate five-membered palladacycles, no enantioenriched benzocyclobutene derivative has been prepared by employing the above two methods. In 2017, Kawabata reported an elegant example of asymmetric intermolecular α-arylation of enantioenriched amino acid derivatives to afford benzocyclobutenones with tetrasubstituted carbon via memory of chirality (Scheme 2b).16 In 2018, Zhang reported an iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α-alkylidene benzocyclobutenones in good enantioselectivities (3 examples, 83–88% ee).12c To the best of our knowledge, there is no report on enantioselective synthesis of benzocyclobutene derivatives with all-carbon quaternary centers.Open in a separate windowScheme 2Asymmetric synthesis of cyclobutanes and their derivatives.

(c) This work: sequential enantioselective reduction/C–H functionalization.In line with our continued interest in precision modification of four-membered ring skeletons,9d,10c,12a we initiated our studies on the synthesis of chiral benzocyclobutenes via enantioselective functionalization of highly strained benzocyclobutenones. It is well known that benzocyclobutene derivatives are labile to undergo a ring-opening reaction to release their inherent ring strains.17 Therefore, it is a challenging task to modify the benzocyclobutenone and preserve the four-membered ring skeleton at the same time. We envisioned that a carbonyl group directed C–H functionalization18 of the gem-dimethyl group could furnish enantioenriched α-quaternary benzocyclobutenones (Scheme 2c). This could be viewed as an alternative approach to achieve the alkylation of benzocyclobutenone, which was otherwise directly inaccessible using enolate chemistry through the unstable anti-aromatic intermediate.19 In addition, a highly regioselective C–H activation would be required to functionalize the methyl group instead of the aryl ring. Here we report our work on sequential enantioselective reduction and intramolecular C–H silylation to provide enantioenriched benzocyclobutenols and cyclobutanols with all-carbon quaternary centers. The excellent diastereoselectivity and regioselectivity of silylation were attributed to rigid structural organization of the 4/5 fused ring. Furthermore, this strategy has been utilized to accomplish the total synthesis of natural products phyllostoxin (proposed structure), grandisol and fragranol.We commenced our studies with enantioselective reduction of readily prepared dimethylbenzocyclobutenone 1a (Scheme 3).15,20 Surprisingly, enantioselective reduction of the carbonyl group of cyclobutanone derivatives received little attention. The first reduction of parent benzocyclobutenone was studied in 1996 by Kündig using chlorodiisopinocamphenylborane21 or chiral oxazaborolidines (CBS reduction),22 and only moderate enantioselectivity (44–68% ee) was obtained.23 Although copper-catalyzed asymmetric hydrosilylation of benzocyclobutenone 1a using CuCl/(R)-BINAP gave the benzocyclobutenol ent-2a in 88% ee, optimization of ligands gave no further improvement (Scheme 3a, see Tables S1–S4† for details).24 Gladly, excellent enantioselective reduction could be achieved in 94% yield and 97% ee under Noyori''s asymmetric transfer hydrogenation conditions (Scheme 3b, conditions A, RuCl[(S,S)-Tsdpen](p-cymene)).25 The product 2a showed remarkable stability and no ring-opening byproduct 2a′ was observed. The reduction of parent benzocyclobutenone was examined under conditions A, and benzocyclobutenol was obtained in 90% yield and 81% ee. Apparently, the steric influence imposed by the α-dimethyl group enhanced the enantioselectivity of the reduction. Similarly, the CBS reduction ((S)-B–Me) of benzocyclobutenone 1a gave better results compared with parent benzocyclobutenone, affording the product 2a in 86% yield and 92% ee (Scheme 3c).Open in a separate windowScheme 3Enantioselective reduction of benzocyclobutenone 1a.

The challenges here are the control of regioselectivity in the cyclization step and inhibition of the ring-opening pathway. Benzocyclobutenol 2a was chosen as a model substrate to study this intramolecular C–H silylation. The transition-metal catalyst system and alkene acceptors were screened (Scheme 4, see Tables S5–S9† for details). Acceptor norbornene (nbe) derivative A gave the optimal yield in the cyclization step (63% NMR yield), and other phenanthroline ligands gave inferior results. The reaction showed remarkable regio- and diastereoselectivity; no silylation of the arene was detected.With optimal intramolecular silylation conditions in hand, sequential hydroxysilylation/C–H silylation/phenyllithium addition reaction of 2a provided desired product 5a in 56% overall yield without any obvious erosion of enantiomeric purity (
