Synthesis, structure, and reactivity of palladacycles that contain a chiral rhenium fragment in the backbone: New cyclometalation and catalyst design strategies

The bromocyclopentadienyl complex [(eta5-C5H4Br)Re(CO)3] is converted to racemic [(eta5-C5H4Br)Re(NO)(PPh3)(CH2PPh2)] (1 b) similarly to a published sequence for cyclopentadienyl analogues. Treatment of enantiopure (S)-[(eta5-C5H5)Re(NO)(PPh3)(CH3)] with nBuLi and I2 gives (S)-[(eta5-C5H4I)Re(NO)(PPh3)(CH3)] ((S)-6 c; 84 %), which is converted (Ph3C+ PF6 -, PPh2H, tBuOK) to (S)-[(eta5-C5H4I)Re(NO)(PPh3)(CH2PPh2)] ((S)-1 c). Reactions of 1 b and (S)-1 c with Pd[P(tBu)3]2 yield [{(eta5-C5H4)Re(NO)(PPh3)(mu-CH2PPh2)Pd(mu-X)}2] (10; X = b, Br, rac/meso, 88 %; c, I, S,S, 22 %). Addition of PPh3 to 10 b gives [(eta5-C5H4)Re(NO)(PPh3)(mu-CH2PPh2)Pd(PPh3)(Br)] (11 b; 92 %). Reaction of (S)-[(eta5-C5H5)Re(NO)(PPh3)(CH2PPh2)] ((S)-2) and Pd(OAc)(2) (1.5 equiv; toluene, RT) affords the novel Pd3(OAc)4-based palladacycle (S,S)-[(eta5-C5H4)Re(NO)(PPh3)(mu-CH2PPh2)Pd(mu-OAc)2Pd(mu-OAc)2Pd(mu-PPh2CH2)(Ph3P)(ON)Re(eta5-C5H4)] ((S,S)-13; 71-90 %). Addition of LiCl and LiBr yields (S,S)-10 a,b (73 %), and Na(acac-F6) gives (S)-[(eta5-C5H4)Re(NO)(PPh3)(mu-CH2PPh2)Pd(acac-F6)] ((S)-16, 72 %). Reaction of (S,S)-10 b and pyridine affords (S)-[(eta5-C5H4)Re(NO)(PPh3)(mu-CH2PPh2)Pd(NC5H5)(Br)] ((S)-17 b, 72 %); other Lewis bases yield similar adducts. Reaction of (S)-2 and Pd(OAc)2 (0.5 equiv; benzene, 80 degrees C) gives the spiropalladacycle trans-(S,S)-[{(eta5-C5H4)Re(NO)(PPh3)(mu-CH2PPh2)}2Pd] (39 %). The crystal structures of (S)-6 c, 11 b, (S,S)- and (R,R)-132 C7H8, (S,S)-10 b, and (S)-17 b aid the preceding assignments. Both 10 b (racemic or S,S) and (S)-16 are excellent catalyst precursors for Suzuki and Heck couplings.     

Endo entry to the nortricyclyl-norbornenyl cation system: stereochemistry in the fragmentation of endo-5-norbornenyl-2-oxychlorocarbene

Fragmentation of (S)-endo-5-norbornenyl-2-oxychlorocarbene [(S)-8] in cyclohexane-d12 gives approximately 20% (S)-endo-2-chloro-5-norbornene [(S)-7] with approximately 50% ee, 65-70% (R)-exo-2-chloro-5-norbornene [(R)-4] with >95% ee, and approximately 12% (R)-3-nortricyclyl chloride [(R)-5] with approximately 22% ee. (Analogous stereochemical results were also obtained starting with the enantiomeric carbene (R)-8.) The (S)-8 to (S)-7 and (S)-8 to (R)-4 conversions are ascribed mainly to retention and inversion S(N)i transition states, respectively. These have been located by computational methods and are nearly isoenergetic. In more polar solvents (CDCl3 and CD3CN), the fragmentation of (S)-8 increasingly occurs via competitive ion pair pathways in which steroselectivity is diminished, and escape to the norbornenyl-nortricyclyl cation directs the products away from endo-2-chloro-5-norbornene toward exo-chloride 4 and nortricyclyl chloride 5.     

Indium-mediated diastereoselective allylation of D- and L-glyceraldimines with 4-bromo-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-butene: highly stereoselective synthesis of 4,4,4-trifluoroisoleucines and 4,4,4-trifluorovaline

A practical and efficient route for the stereoselective synthesis of (2R,3S)- and (2S,3R)-4,4,4-trifluoroisoleucines and (2R,3S)-4,4,4-trifluorovaline was developed. Indium-mediated allylation of (R)-N-benzyl-2,3-O-isopropylideneglyceraldimine 7 with 4-bromo-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-butene 4 gave the desired homoallylic amine 8 in high diastereoselectivity (>95% de) with moderate yield. The Cbz-protected (2R,3S)-4,4,4-trifluoroisoleucine 14 and Boc-protected (2R,3S)-4,4,4-trifluorovaline 21 were then readily prepared from 8. In addition, following the same procedure, Cbz-protected (2S,3R)-4,4,4-trifluoroisoleucine 28, the enantiomer of 14, was prepared starting from (S)-N-benzyl-2,3-O-isopropylideneglyceraldimine 24.     

Total synthesis of (+)-hatomarubigin B.

The first total synthesis of (+)-hatomarubigin 3 is described. The tetra-O-acetyl diborate promoted Diels-Alder reaction of 5-hydroxy-8-(2',3',4',6'-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-1,4-naphthoquinone 8 and (E, 1R*,5R*)-3-(2'-methoxyvinyl)cyclohex-2-enol (+/-)-7 gave a mixture of four cycloadducts from which (1S,3S,6S,6aR,12aR,12bS)-1,8-dihydroxy-6-dimethoxy-1-hydroxy-3-methyl-11-(2',3',4',6'-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-1,2,3,4,6,6a,12a,12b-octahydrobenz[a]anthracene-7,12-dione 12 was isolated in 51% yield. Selective methylation and acetylation of 12 gave (1S,3S,6S,6aR,12aR,12bS)-1-acetoxy-6,8-dimethoxy-3-methyl-11-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-1,2,3,4,6,6a,12a,12b-octahydrobenz[a]anthracene-7,12-dione 10a. Sequential aromatization, photooxidation and hydrolysis of the glucosyl unit gave (+)-3 (98% ee) in an 8% overall yield from 8.     

A convenient synthesis of optically active 5,5-disubstituted 4-amino- and 4-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanones from (S)-ketone cyanohydrins

(S)-Ketone cyanohydrins (S)-2 are accessible by enantioselective HCN addition to ketones 1 by using hydroxynitrile lyase from Manihot esculenta ((S)-MeHNL) as a biocatalyst. Acylation of (S)-2 gave the corresponding (S)-acyloxynitriles (S)-3, which can be cyclized by LHMDS to give 5,5-disubstituted (S)-4-amino-2(5H)-furanones (S)-4 and (S)-5. Different substituents (H. Me, OBn, OH) in the 3-position of the furanones were introduced by selecting the appropriate acylating agent, which in the case of benzyloxyacetyl chloride led to the novel structure type of 4-amino-3-hydroxyfuranones (S)-5. For the synthesis of 5,5-disubstituted (S)-tetronic acids (S)-8, ketone cyanohydrins (S)-2 were first transformed into the corresponding 2-hydroxy esters (S)-6. Acylation of (S)-6 gave 2-acyloxy esters (S)-7, which, by treatment with LHMDS or LDA, afforded tetronic acids (S)-8 in high yields and enantiomeric excesses. By debenzylation of benzyloxy acetoxy derivatives (S)-8e,f, the new vitamin C analogues (S)-9a,b were generated. All the described tetronic acid and aminofuranone derivatives were obtained in good chemical yields and without racemization with respect to the starting cyanohydrins (S)-2. In many cases the enantiomeric purity could be enriched by simple recrystallization (e.g. (S)-4a from 69% ee to > 99% ee).     

Influence of chirality of the preceding acyl moiety on the cis/trans ratio of the proline peptide bond

We report that the cis/trans ratio of the proline peptide bond can be strongly influenced by the chirality of the acyl residue preceding proline. Acyl moieties derived from (2S)-2,6-dimethyl-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine-2-carboxylic acid (8) and (2R)-3-methoxy-2-methyl-2-(4-methyl-2-nitrophenoxy)-3-oxopropanoic acid (5) in acyl-Pro molecules influence isomerization of the proline peptide bond constraining the omega dihedral angle to the trans orientation. Structures of benzyl (2S)-1-([(2S)-2,6-dimethyl-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-2-yl]carbonyl)-2-pyrrolidinecarboxylate (3) derived from 2D (1)H NMR conformational analysis and crystallographic data exhibit only the trans conformation of proline peptide bond. On the other hand the diastereomer 4, which contains an (R) acyl moiety, exhibits two sets of signals in (1)H NMR spectra. The signals were assigned to trans (72%) and cis (28%) conformers. Crystallographic analysis of 4 showed that only the cis conformation is present in the crystalline state. The (1)H NMR chemical shift pattern of three sets of signals observed in 2 was observed also in benzyl (2S)-1-[(2R/S)-3-methoxy-2-methyl-2-(4-methyl-2-nitrophenoxy)-3-oxopropanoyl]-2-pyrrolidinecarboxylate. (R)-Carboxylic acid 5, after coupling with (S)-ProOBn, yielded benzyl (2S)-1-[(2R)-3-methoxy-2-methyl-2-(4-methyl-2-nitrophenoxy)-3-oxopropanoyl]-2-pyrrolidinecarboxylate (6), which in DMSO-d(6) exhibited only the trans conformation of the proline peptide bond. These results suggest that in these particular cases acyl-Pro peptide bond isomerization is strongly influenced by the stereochemistry of the acyl residue preceding proline. (2S)-2,6-Dimethyl-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine-2-carboxylic acid (8) and (2R)-3-methoxy-2-methyl-2-(4-methyl-2-nitrophenoxy)-3-oxopropanoic acid (5) are promising chiral peptidomimetic building blocks that can be used as acyl moieties to force the proline peptide bond into the trans conformation in a variety of acyl-Pro molecules.     

Asymmetric synthesis of four diastereomers of 3-hydroxy-2,4,6-trimethylheptanoic acid: proof of configurational assignment

Four unique diastereomers of 3-hydroxy-2,4,6-trimethylheptanoic acid--(2R,3R,4R), (2S,3R,4R), (2S,3R,4S), and (2R,3R,4S)--the fatty acid component of callipeltin A and D, have been synthesized from commercially available (+)- and (-)-pseudoephedrine propionamide in 6 steps and 59% average overall yield. Comparison of the 1H and 13C NMR and optical rotation data of the resulting isomers with the natural fragment unambiguously verifies the configurational assignment of the natural isomer as (2R,3R,4R).     

Enzymatic synthesis of (-)- and (+)-acetoxyhexamides and (-)- and (+)-hydroxyhexamides.

The enantioselective hydrolysis of (+/-)-4-(1-acetoxyethyl)-N-(cyclohexylcarbamoyl)-benzenesulfona mides 3 with lipase Amano P from Pseudomonas sp. in a water-saturated solvent gave (R)-4-(1-hydroxyethyl)-N-(cyclohexylcarbamoyl)benzenesulfonamide 2 (39%, > 99% ee) and unchanged (S)-3 (50%, 62% ee). On the other hand, enantioselective esterification of (+/-)-2 with lipase Amano P in the presence of vinyl acetate provided (R)-3 (41%, > 99% ee) and unchanged (S)-2 (46%, 78% ee).     

Stabilization of reduced molybdenum-iron-sulfur single- and double-cubane clusters by cyanide ligation

Recent work has shown that cyanide ligation increases the redox potentials of Fe(4)S(4) clusters, enabling the isolation of [Fe(4)S(4)(CN)4]4-, the first synthetic Fe(4)S(4) cluster obtained in the all-ferrous oxidation state (Scott, T. A.; Berlinguette, C. P.; Holm, R. H.; Zhou, H.-C. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2005, 102, 9741). The generality of reduced cluster stabilization has been examined with MoFe(3)S(4) clusters. Reaction of single-cubane [(Tp)MoFe(3)S(4)(PEt(3))3]1+ and edge-bridged double-cubane [(Tp)2Mo(2)Fe(6)S(8)(PEt(3))4] with cyanide in acetonitrile affords [(Tp)MoFe(3)S(4)(CN)3]2- (2) and [(Tp)2Mo(2)Fe(6)S(8)(CN)4]4- (5), respectively. Reduction of 2 with KC(14)H(10) yields [(Tp)MoFe(3)S(4)(CN)3]3- (3). Clusters were isolated in approximately 70-90% yields as Et(4)N+ or Bu(4)N+ salts; clusters 3 and 5 contain all-ferrous cores, and 3 is the first [MoFe(3)S(4)]1+ cluster isolated in substance. The structures of 2 and 3 are very similar; the volume of the reduced cluster core is slightly larger (2.5%), a usual effect upon reduction of cubane-type Fe(4)S(4) and MFe(3)S(4) clusters. Redox potentials and 57Fe isomer shifts of [(Tp)MoFe(3)S(4)L3]2-,3- and [(Tp)2Mo(2)Fe(6)S(8)L(4)]4-,3- clusters with L = CN-, PhS-, halide, and PEt3 are compared. Clusters with pi-donor ligands (L = halide, PhS) exhibit larger isomer shifts and lower (more negative) redox potentials, while pi-acceptor ligands (L = CN, PEt3) induce smaller isomer shifts and higher (less-negative) redox potentials. When the potentials of 3/2 and [(Tp)MoFe(3)S(4)(SPh)3]3-/2- are compared, cyanide stabilizes 3 by 270 mV versus the reduced thiolate cluster, commensurate with the 310 mV stabilization of [Fe(4)S(4)(CN)4]4- versus [Fe(4)S(4)(SPh)4]4- where four ligands differ. These results demonstrate the efficacy of cyanide stabilization of lower cluster oxidation states. (Tp = hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate(1-)).
