烯酰胺参与的不对称Povarov反应研究进展

烯酰胺因其氮活化的碳碳双键在各类含氮化合物的合成中具有潜在应用价值,其中有机催化的α,β-双官能化反应在有效骨架的构建中得到了广泛使用。烯酰胺参与的Povarov反应作为邻位双官能化反应的扩展应用,为4-氨基-1,2,3,4-四氢喹啉的构建提供一条简洁高效的途径。尽管该类反应如此重要,直到最近才开发出几种高效的不对称催化方案,本文将对这些研究进展进行总结。     

Asymmetric synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines with quaternary stereocenters through the Povarov reaction

The asymmetric Povarov reaction with α-alkyl styrenes as dienophiles was catalyzed by an N,N'-dioxide L4-Sc(OTf)(3) complex. Enantiopure tetrahydroquinoline derivatives with a quaternary stereocenter at the C4 position were synthesized for the first time. A wide variety of α-alkyl styrenes and N-aryl aldimines were tolerated in the reaction, to give excellent diastereo- (up to 99:1 d.r.) and enantioselectivities (92 to >99% ee). In addition, the reaction could be performed on the gram scale without any loss of yield, diastereoselectivity, or enantioselectivity. An intermolecular hydrogen-shift reaction was found to be a side reaction, which offered a method to synthesize the corresponding quinoline derivatives with chiral quaternary sterocenters.

Catalytic Enantioselective Reaction of α‐Phenylthioacetonitriles with Imines Using Chiral Bis(imidazoline)–Palladium Catalysts

The catalytic enantioselective reaction of α‐phenylthioacetonitriles with imines has been developed. The reaction of various imines proceeds in good yields and diastereo‐ and enantioselectivities in the presence of chiral bis(imidazoline)–palladium catalysts. The obtained products can be converted into β‐aminonitrile or β‐aminoamide compounds without loss of enantiopurity.     

钴的二苯甲酰甲烷配合物：晶体结构及其轴向置换反应

Cobalt(Ⅱ) can form complexes with Hdbm in different environments. Hdbm reacted with cobalt nitrate to give complex 1 [Co(dbm)₂·2H₂O]. When complex 1 reacted with pyridine， α-stilbazole or 4，4′-bipyridine respectively， complex 2 [Co(DBM)₂Py₂] (Py=pyridine)， 3 [Co(DBM)₂Sbz₂] (Sbz=α-stilbazole) or 4 [Co(DBM)₂BPy]_n was obtained in turn through metathetical reaction. The coordination modes are octahedral polyhedrons. In the crystal structures， the two dbms take the plane position and two other donor molecules take the axial position.

Enantioselective Synthesis and Application to the Allylic Imidate Rearrangement of Amine‐Coordinated Palladacycle Catalysts of Cobalt Sandwich Complexes

The reaction of (η⁵‐(N,N‐dimethylaminomethyl)cyclopentadien‐yl)(η⁴‐tetraphenylcyclobutadiene)cobalt with sodium tetrachloropalladate and (R)‐N‐acetylphenylalanine gave planar chiral palladacycle di‐μ‐chloridebis[(η⁵‐(S_p)‐2‐(N,N‐dimethylaminomethyl)cyclopentadienyl,1‐C,3′‐N)(η⁴‐tetraphenylcyclobutadiene)cobalt]dipalladium [(S_p)‐Me₂‐CAP‐Cl] in 92 % ee and 64 % yield. Enantiopurity (>98 % ee) was achieved by purification of the monomeric (R)‐proline adducts and conversion back to the chloride dimer. Treatment with AgOAc gave (S_p)‐Me₂‐CAP‐OAc which was applied to asymmetric transcyclopalladation (up to 78 % ee). The (R)‐N‐acetylphenylalanine mediated palladation methodology was applicable also to the corresponding N,N‐diethyl (82 % ee, 39 % yield) and pyrrolidinyl (>98 % ee, 43 % yield) cobalt sandwich complexes. A combination of 5 mol % of the latter [(S_p)‐Pyrr‐CAP‐Cl] and AgNO₃ (3.8 equiv) is a catalyst for the allylic imidate rearrangement of an (E)‐N‐aryltrifluoroacetimidate (up to 83 % ee), and this catalyst system is also applicable to the rearrangement of a range of (E)‐trichloroacetimidates (up to 99 % ee). This asymmetric efficiency combined with the simplicity of catalyst synthesis provides accessible solutions to the generation of non‐racemic allylic amine derivatives.     

Monohydride-Dichloro Rhodium(III) Complexes with Chiral Diphosphine Ligands as Catalysts for Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Olefinic Substrates

We report full details of the synthesis and characterization of monohydride-dichloro rhodium(III) complexes bearing chiral diphosphine ligands, such as (S)-BINAP, (S)-DM-SEGPHOS, and (S)-DTBM-SEGPHOS, producing cationic triply chloride bridged dinuclear rhodium(III) complexes ( 1 a : (S)-BINAP; 1 b : (S)-DM-SEGPHOS) and a neutral mononuclear monohydride-dichloro rhodium(III) complex ( 1 c : (S)-DTBM-SEGPHOS) in high yield and high purity. Their solid state structure and solution behavior were determined by crystallographic studies as well as full spectral data, including DOSY NMR spectroscopy. Among these three complexes, 1 c has a rigid pocket surrounded by two chloride atoms bound to the rhodium atom together with one tBu group of (S)-DTBM-SEGPHOS for fitting to simple olefins without any coordinating functional groups. Complex 1 c exhibited superior catalytic activity and enantioselectivity for asymmetric hydrogenation of exo-olefins and olefinic substrates. The catalytic activity of 1 c was compared with that of well-demonstrated dihydride species derived in situ from rhodium(I) precursors such as [Rh(cod)Cl]₂ and [Rh(cod)₂]⁺[BF₄]⁻ upon mixing with (S)-DTBM-SEGPHOS under dihydrogen.     

Sulfitoamine Complexes of Cobalt(III)

Abstract

Monosulfito and bis(hydrogensulfito) cobalt(III) complexes were prepared using sodium sulfite and sodium metabisulfite salts respectively. The two types of products showed different and characterizing patterns of IR and UV-visible spectra. They both contain Co-SO₃ linkages and the sulfite groups have similar or different site symmetries in the same compound.

Enantioselective Cyclopropanation Catalyzed by Gold(I)-Carbene Complexes

The formation of polysubstituted cyclopropane derivatives in the gold(I)-catalyzed reaction of olefins and propargylic esters is a potentially useful transformation to generate diversity, therefore any method in which its stereoselectivity could be controlled is of significant interest. We prepared and tested a series of chiral gold(I)-carbene complexes as a catalyst in this transformation. With a systematic optimization of the reaction conditions, we were able to achieve high enantioselectivity in the test reaction while the cis:trans selectivity of the transformation was independent of the catalyst. Using the optimized conditions, we reacted a series of various olefins and acetylene derivatives to find that, although the reactions proceeded smoothly and the products were usually isolated in good yield and with good to exclusive cis selectivity, the observed enantioselectivity varied greatly and was sometimes moderate at best. We were unable to establish any structure-property relationship, which suggests that for any given reagent combination, one has to identify individually the best catalyst.     

Copper–Boxmi Complexes as Highly Enantioselective Catalysts for Electrophilic Trifluoromethylthiolations

The enantioselective trifluoromethylthiolation of β‐ketoesters using chiral copper–boxmi complexes as catalysts is reported. A number of α‐SCF₃‐substituted β‐ketoesters have been obtained with up to >99 % enantiomeric excess (ee), and the trifluoromethylthiolated products were then transformed diastereoselectively to α‐SCF₃‐β‐hydroxyesters with two adjacent quaternary stereocenters.     

Nontoxic Cobalt(III) Schiff Base Complexes with Broad-Spectrum Antifungal Activity

Resistance to currently available antifungal drugs has quietly been on the rise but overshadowed by the alarming spread of antibacterial resistance. There is a striking lack of attention to the threat of drug-resistant fungal infections, with only a handful of new drugs currently in development. Given that metal complexes have proven to be useful new chemotypes in the fight against diseases such as cancer, malaria, and bacterial infections, it is reasonable to explore their possible utility in treating fungal infections. Herein we report a series of cobalt(III) Schiff base complexes with broad-spectrum antifungal activity. Some of these complexes show minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) in the low micro- to nanomolar range against a series of Candida and Cryptococcus yeasts. Additionally, we demonstrate that these compounds show no cytotoxicity against both bacterial and human cells. Finally, we report the first in vivo toxicity data on these compounds in Galleria mellonella, showing that doses as high as 266 mg kg⁻¹ are tolerated without adverse effects, paving the way for further in vivo studies of these complexes.     

Catalytic Enantioselective Reaction of α‐Aminoacetonitriles Using Chiral Bis(imidazoline) Palladium Catalysts

The catalytic enantioselective reaction of diphenylmethylidene‐protected α‐aminoacetonitriles with imines has been developed. Good yields and diastereo‐ and enantioselectivities were observed for the reaction of various imines using chiral bis(imidazoline)/Pd catalysts. The reaction of α‐aminonitriles with di‐tert‐butyl azodicarboxylate afforded chiral α,α‐diaminonitriles in high yields with high enantioselectivities.
