The Bucherer Reaction and the Preparative Use of its Intermediate Products

The study of purified intermediate products of the Bucherer reaction has shown that this reaction proceeds, not via bisulfite addition compounds of the keto form of the naphthols and the ketimine form of the naphthylamines, but via tetralonesulfonic acids and tetraloniminesulfonic acids. The intermediates lead to compounds that are otherwise difficult or impossible to obtain, and some of which are new. The mechanism of the Bucherer reaction is discussed in detail.     

Synthesis of 3-(Bromomethylene)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-ones through regioselective 5-exo-dig bromocyclization of 2-alkynylbenzoic acids

A direct synthesis of 3-(bromomethylene)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-ones from 2-alkynylbenzoic acids is developed through a regioselective 5-exo-dig bromocyclization. The reaction proceeds smoothly with a broad substrate scope. The products can be further elaborated via a palladium-catalyze cross-coupling reaction, or can convert to other heterocycles through simple operation. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that this transformation undergoes a radical process.     

Baylis-Hillman adducts in rhodium-catalyzed 1,4-additions: unusual reactivity

In the presence of a rhodium catalyst, unactivated Baylis-Hillman adducts reacted with arylboronic acids to afford trisubstituted alkenes with good yields. This highly efficient reaction (aerobic conditions, low temperature) is believed to proceeds via an unexpected mechanism involving 1,4-addition/beta-hydroxy elimination steps and not pi-allyl type rhodium intermediates.     

THE REACTION OF β-KETOACIDS WITH ALLYLBORONATES

Allylboronates react with β-ketoacids to yield tertiary homoallylic β-hydroxycarboxylic acids. The reaction presumably proceeds via a bicyclic transition state. The β-carboxylic substituent enhances the rate of the reaction.     

Reaction of sodium salts of dialkylphosphorous acids with carboxylic acid nitriles

Conclusions The reaction of the Na salts of dialkylphosphorous acids with nitriles leads to the dialkyl esters of N-(1-dialkylphosphonylalkyl) amidophosphoric acids, whose formation proceeds via the aminophosphonate-amidophosphate rearrangement of the sodium derivatives of bis(dialkylphosphonyl)alkylamines.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 499–500, February, 1978.     

A practical total synthesis of hapalosin, a 12-membered cyclic depsipeptide with multidrug resistance-reversing activity, by employing improved segment coupling and macrolactonization

A practical total synthesis of hapalosin, a compound with multidrug resistance-reversing activity, has been carried out using an unprecedented macrolactonization strategy. One of the features of the new approach is the straightforward and fully stereocontrolled access to the key gamma-amino beta-hydroxy carboxylic acid subunit via an efficient acetate aldol addition reaction with N-methyl alpha-aminoaldehydes, which relies on a camphor-derived chiral lithium acetate enolate reagent. The scope of this aldol reaction is investigated and its potential application to the synthesis of other structurally related, biologically relevant compounds illustrated. Remarkably, the chiral tether in the resulting gamma-amino aldol adducts sterically protect the carbonyl group, thus avoiding intramolecular cyclization during the amino group deprotection and the subsequent segment coupling event. After successful segment coupling and smooth, clean release of the chiral auxiliary, a new macrolactonization protocol, based on the principle of double activation of both reactive sites, is applied, which leads to the 12-membered macrolactone hapalosin in unprecedented chemical efficiency.     

Synthesis of novel α-acyloxycarboxamides containing vinylbis(silanes) through three-component Passerini reactions

A three-component efficient procedure is described for the synthesis of novel α-acyloxycarboxamides containing bis(trimethylsilyl)ethenyl group from 4-[2,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethenyl]benzaldehyde, aromatic carboxylic acids and isocyanides, via the Passerini reaction. This reaction proceeds smoothly and cleanly under mild conditions in H₂O and [bmim]BF₄ at room temperature and led to products in good yields. The silylated aldehyde was obtained via Peterson olefination reaction of terephthalaldehyde with tris(trimethylsilyl)methyllithium in THF at 0 °C.     

Total synthesis of (-)-callipeltoside A

A total synthesis of (-)-callipeltoside A (1) has been achieved. The core macrocycle was made via a dual macrolactonization/pyran hemiketal formation reaction, developed to circumvent issues related to the reversible nature of acylketene formation from β-keto lactone substrates. Initial approaches to the core of the natural product that revolved around ring-closing metathesis (RCM) and relay ring-closing metathesis (RRCM) reactions are also described.     

Catalytic asymmetric synthesis with rh-diene complexes: 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to unsaturated esters

A general route to enantioenriched tert-butyl 3,3-diarylpropanoates is presented. These useful building blocks are prepared via an asymmetric rhodium-catalyzed conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to unsaturated tert-butyl esters in the presence of chiral dienes as ligands. The addition of both electron-poor and electron-rich boronic acids proceeds smoothly with various enoates in 63-90% yield with high enantioselectivites (89-94% ee). [reaction: see text]     

Nickel‐Catalyzed Intermolecular Carbosulfonylation of Alkynes via Sulfonyl Radicals

β,β‐Disubstituted vinyl sulfones were obtained with complete regio‐ and stereocontrol in a multicomponent reaction involving alkynes, organoboronic acids, and sulfonyl chlorides in the presence of a nickel catalyst. The reaction proceeds via sulfonyl radicals generated in situ under mild reaction conditions.     

Macrolactonization via Ti(IV)-mediated epoxy-acid coupling: a total synthesis of (-)-dactylolide [and zampanolide

A total synthesis of dactylolide (1) is described. The key feature involves the Ti(IV)-mediated coupling of structurally complex "Sharpless epoxides" and carboxylic acids in either an intramolecular (macrolactonization) or an intermolecular mode. Other notable aspects include a proton-catalyzed, cis-selective construction of the 4-methylenetetrahydropyran ring; a selective oxidation of an allylic alcohol in the presence of a 1,2-diol by an oxoammonium ion; an efficient ring-closing metathesis reaction of an in situ (bis-TMS) protected alpha,omega-diene-vic-diol; and an aluminum-mediated aza-aldol reaction of a primary amide to 1 to construct the acyclic carbinolamide in zampanolide.

Conclusions The reaction of 2-trimethylsiloxy-3-phenyl(methyl)-1,3,2-oxazaphospholanes with phenol or ethanol proceeds in two directions, with rupture of the endocyclic P-N bond and via desilylation of the starting phospholane. The end reaction products are alkylarylphosphorous acids.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya. No. 5, pp. 1133–1134, May, 1981.     

Microwave‐Promoted Pd‐Catalyzed Synthesis of Dibenzofurans from Ortho‐Arylphenols

ortho‐Aryl phenols, synthesized via protecting group free Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of ortho‐halophenols and arene boronic acids, undergo a cyclization to dibenzofurans via oxidative C–H activation. The reaction proceeds under microwave irradiation in short reaction times using catalytic amounts of Pd(OAc)₂ without additional ligands.     

Pd-catalyzed intermolecular C-H amination with alkylamines

C-H amination of N-aryl benzamides with O-benzoyl hydroxylamines has been achieved with either Pd(II) or Pd(0) catalysts. Furthermore, we demonstrate that secondary amines can be directly used with benzoyl peroxide in a one-pot procedure that proceeds via the in situ generation of the appropriate O-benzoyl hydroxylamines. This catalytic reaction provides a new disconnection for the convergent synthesis of tertiary and secondary arylalkyl amines starting from benzoic acids.     

Silver‐Catalyzed Decarboxylative Allylation of Difluoroarylacetic Acids with Allyl Sulfones in Water

A practical silver‐catalyzed decarboxylative allylation of α,α‐difluoroarylacetic acids with allyl sulfones is described, which provides a variety of β,β‐difluorinated alkenes in good yields. Notably, the reaction proceeds smoothly in water with good functional group tolerance. The practicality and synthetic value of this process was demonstrated by scaled‐up experiment and elaboration of the products via reduction or Heck reaction. Primary mechanism investigations suggest that a radical process might be involved.     

Enantioselective Rhodium‐Catalyzed Atom‐Economical Macrolactonization

A highly attractive route toward macrolactones, which form the cyclic scaffold of a multitude of diverse natural compounds, is described. Although many chemical approaches to this structural motif have been explored, an asymmetric variant of the cyclization is unprecedented. Herein we present an enantioselective macrolactonization through an intramolecular atom‐economical rhodium‐catalyzed coupling of ω‐allenyl‐substituted carboxylic acids. The use of a modified diop ligand, chiral DTBM‐diop, led to high enantioselectivity (up to 93 % ee). The reaction tolerated a large variety of functionalities, including α,β‐unsaturated carboxylic acids and depsipeptides, and provided the desired macrocycles with very high enantio‐ and diastereoselectivity.     

Efficient and Selective Formation of Unsaturated Carboxylic and Phenylacetic Acids from Diketene

A nickel catalyst promotes the multicomponent coupling reaction of diketene, an alkyne, and Me₂Zn to provide 3‐methylene‐4‐hexenoic acids in excellent yields. Under similar conditions, the combination of the nickel catalyst and Et₂Al(OEt) promotes a cycloaddition reaction involving dimerization of an alkyne to furnish phenylacetic acids. In the presence of PPh₃, a formal [2+2+1+1] cycloaddition reaction proceeds to afford regioisomeric phenylacetic acids via cleavage of the C?C bond.     

Rhodium- and palladium-catalyzed 1,5-substitution reactions of 2-en-4-yne acetates and carbonates with organoboronic acids

Two methods involving the rhodium-catalyzed reaction of 2-en-4-yne acetates and the palladium-catalyzed reaction of 2-en-4-yne carbonates with organoboronic acids were investigated; both afforded exclusively the (E)-configured vinylallenes. The coordinative interaction of the rhodium with the acetate group promoted the δ-elimination of Rh(I)-OAc from the alkenylrhodium intermediate II in both syn and anti modes, with the syn-elimination being the major path. DFT calculations revealed that a conformer of this intermediate (II), which can lead to the (E)-configured vinylallene product via the syn-elimination mode, is energetically the most favorable conformer. The rhodium-catalyzed procedure is not applicable to reactions involving (E)-configured enyne acetates, because the geometry of the alkenylrhodium intermediate that is derived from the corresponding (E)-enyne acetate would not allow such coordinative interaction to occur. The palladium-catalyzed method, which proceeds through formation of the σ-vinylallenylpalladium intermediate, B, is suitable for both the (E)- and (Z)-configured enyne carbonates and appears to have a wider scope for both organoboronic acids and enyne substrates. The palladium-catalyzed reaction of an enantiomerically enriched enyne carbonate proceeded with racemization.     

Total synthesis of the formamicin aglycon,formamicinone

[structure: see text] The total synthesis of formamicinone (2), the aglycone of formamicin (1), has been accomplished via the late-stage Suzuki cross-coupling of fragments 5 and 6, the macrolactonization of seco ester 14, and the Mukaiyama aldol reaction of aldehyde 3 and methyl ketone 4. An efficient and highly stereoselective second generation synthesis of vinyl iodide 6 is also described.
