Stereoselective synthesis of optically active disilanes and selective functionalization by the cleavage of silicon-naphthyl bonds with bromine

Optically active disilanes with one chiral silicon center, (R)-1,2-dimethyl-1-(naphth-1-yl)-1,2,2-triphenyldisilane and (R)-1,2,2-trimethyl-2-(4-methoxynaphth-1-yl)-1-(naphth-1-yl)-1-phenyldisilane, were obtained by the reaction of (S)-methyl(naphth-1-yl)phenylchlorosilane (> 99% ee) with methyldiphenylsilyllithium or by the reaction of methyldiphenylchlorosilane with optically active (S)-methyl(naphth-1-yl)phenylsilyllithium and by the reaction of (S)-methyl(naphth-1-yl)phenylchlorosilane (> 99% ee) with dimethyl(4-methoxynaphth-1-yl)silyllithium. Under the optimized conditions, the reactions proceeded with almost complete inversion for the cholorosilanes and retention for the silyl anions. Optically active disilanes with two chiral centers, (1R,2R)-1,2-dimethyl-1,2-di(naphth-1-yl)-1,2-diphenyldisilane and (1S,2S)-1,2-di(4-methoxynaphth-1-yl)-1,2-dimethyl-1,2-diphenyldisilane, were obtained in high optical purity by the reactions of corresponding optically active halogenosilanes (Cl or F) with optically active silyllithiums. The silicon-silicon bond and the silicon-naphthyl bond of (R)-1,1,2-trimethyl-1,2-di(naphth-1-yl)-2-phenyldisilane and (1R,2R)-1,2-dimethyl-1,2-di(naphth-1-yl)-1,2-diphenyldisilane were cleaved without selectivity on bromination. The silicon-(4-methoxynaphth-1-yl) bond of (R)-1,2,2-trimethyl-2-(4-methoxynaphth-1-yl)-1-(naphth-1-yl)-1-phenyldisilane was regiospecifically cleaved, followed by the stereoselective cleavage of the remaining chiral silicon-naphthyl bond (94% inversion). Although the silicon-(4-methoxynaphth-1-yl) bonds of (1S,2S)-1,2-di(4-methoxynaphth-1-yl)-1,2-dimethyl-1,2-diphenyldisilane (> 99% ee) were regioselectively cleaved without silicon-silicon bond scission, remarkable racemization could not be avoided during the one-pot reaction.     

Synthesis and antiviral activities of N-mono- and/or N,N'-di-carbamoyl and acyl derivatives of symmetrical diamines

N-carbamoyl and N-acyl diamine derivatives were synthesized from symmetrical diamines by their addition to iso(thio)cyanates, cleavage reaction of acid anhydride, or N-acylation by acyl chloride. (1R,2R)-1,2-Diaminocyclohexane [(1R,2R)-1], meso-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (meso-1), (1R,2R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine [(1R,2R)-3], or meso-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine (meso-3) were used as the starting symmetrical diamines. The target compounds synthesized herein were evaluated for antiviral activity with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). A few derivatives of 1,2-diaminocyclohexane [(1R,2R)-7aa and cis-7b] with adamantyl group(s) showed significant antiviral activity (EC(50)=16.0, 27.0 microg/ml).     

The ethoxyethynyl carbinol—αβ-unsaturated ester conversion: Stereomutation accompanying a selenium dioxide oxidation

Benzsuberone reacts with ethoxyethynyl magnesium bromide to give 1-ethoxyethynyl-1-hydroxy-2,3-benzocycloheptene, which on rearrangement with mild acid (carbon dioxide) yields ethyl cis-1,2-benzo-3-cycloheptenylidene acetate (4, R′= CO₂Et, R¹ = H) and the corresponding trans -compound. With selenium dioxide, both esters yield the same γ-lactone,

Stable optically pure phosphino(silyl)carbenes: reagents for highly enantioselective cyclopropanation reactions

The stability of phosphino(trimethylsilyl)carbenes bearing cyclic diamino substituents on phosphorus is strongly dependent on the steric hindrance of the nitrogen substituents. Phosphinocarbenes 3 and 7, derived from the trans-N,N'-diisopropylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine and N,N'-diisopropyl-1,2-ethanediamine, are not observed; instead the 1,3-diphosphete 4 and a novel six-membered heterocycle 8, which results from the dimerization of 3 and the reaction of 7 with its diazo precursor 6, respectively, have been isolated. In contrast, the phosphino(silyl)carbene 14 derived from N,N'-di-tert-butyl-1,2-ethanediamine has been isolated in high yield. By using the enantiomerically pure (S,S)-, and (R,R)-N,N'-di-tert-butyl-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediamines, the first optically pure phosphino(sily)carbenes (S,S)-17 and (R,R)-17 have been prepared. They react with methyl acrylate to give the corresponding cyclopropanes (S,S,R,R)-19 and (R,R,S,S)-19 with a total syn diastereoselectivity and an excellent enantioselectivity (de>98 %).     

Unusual reactions of 5,5-dimethyl-2-(indenyl-2)-3-pyrazolidinone with acetylenedicarboxylates

[reaction: see text] Reaction of 5,5-dimethyl-3-pyrazolidinone (1) with 2-indanone (2) gave 5,5-dimethyl-2-(1H-indenyl-2)-3-pyrazolidinone (3) instead of the expected azomethine imine 4. Although reaction of 2-substituted 3-pyrazolidinones with acetylenedicarboxylates usually gives ring expansion products, such as 1,2-diazepines, treatment of 3 with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates (5, R = Me; 6 R = Et) resulted in the formation of rel-(7aR,12aS)-6,7-bis(alkoxycarbonyl)-3,4-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl-7aH-indano[1,2-b]pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-ones (7, R = Me; 9, R = Et) as major products and 3,4-bis(alkoxycarbonyl)-7,7-dimethyl-2-(indenyl-2)-6,7-dihydro-2H,6H-1,2-diazepin-5-ones (8, R = Me: 10, R = Et) as minor products.

Pyrimidine acyclo-C-nucleosides by ring transformations of 2-formyl-L-arabinal

The protected 2-formyl-L-arabinal 2 reacted with thiourea and cyanamide in the presence of sodium hydride to afford via ring transformations the 5-[1R,2S-1,2- bis(benzyloxy)-3-hydroxypropyl]-1,2-dihydropyrimidines 3 and 4, respectively. Similarly, treatment of 2 with 3-amino-2H-1,2,4-triazole yielded 6-[1R,2S-1,2- bis(benzyloxy)-3-hydroxypropyl][1,2,4]-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (5).     

Highly selective R,S-coordination of non racemic (1R,2R)-(1,2-dialkyl)-1,2-diamine cyclohexane derivatives to palladium dichloride

In non-racemic (1R,2R)-(1,2-dialkyl)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane palladium dichloride complexes the C2 symmetry of the diamine ligand is broken, resulting in selective R,S-coordination.     

Pi-pi stacking versus steric effects in stereoselectivity control: highly diastereoselective synthesis of syn-1,2-diarylpropylamines

N-Arylarylideneamines react with sulfinylbenzyl carbanions derived from 2-(p-tolylsulfinyl)toluenes (S)-1 and (S)-2, affording epimeric mixtures at C1 of 1,2-diarylethyl- and 1,2-diarylpropylamine derivatives. The sulfinyl group completely controls the configuration at C2 in the reactions of (S)-2. The configuration at C1 depends on the electron density of the ring adjacent to the iminic carbon atom which is modulated by pi-pi stacking interactions with the ring joined to the carbanionic centre. The stereoselectivity was controlled by modifying the acceptor character of the arylideneamine ring with appropriate substituents, the formation of the highly selective (R) configuration at C1 being made possible by electron-donating groups. N-(2,4,6-Trimethoxyphenyl)arylideneamines have been shown to be suitable starting materials for the preparation of (R)-1,2-diarylethyl- and (1R,2S)-1,2-diarylpropylamines (syn epimers) in a highly stereoselective manner.     

Diastereoselective hydroxylation of 6-substituted piperidin-2-ones. An efficient synthesis of (2S,5R)-5-hydroxylysine and related alpha-amino acids

The synthesis of (2S,5R)-5-hydroxy-6-oxo-1,2-piperidinedicarboxylates (5) and related (3S,6R)-3-hydroxy-6-alkyl-2-oxo-1-piperidinecarboxylates has been developed. The approach is based on the asymmetric hydroxylation of enolates generated from the corresponding N-protected-6-substituted piperidin-2-ones. The utility of 5a as a precursor in the synthesis of (2S,5R)-5-hydroxylysine (1), an amino acid unique to collagen and collagen-like proteins, has also been demonstrated. (2S)-6-oxo-1,2-piperidinedicarboxylates (6) required for hydroxylation studies were prepared in 38-74% yield, starting from conveniently protected aspartic acid as inexpensive chiral adduct. Hydroxylation of 6 to 5 proceeds in high yield and excellent diastereoselectivity by treatment of their Li-enolate with (+)-camphorsulfonyloxaziridine at -78 degrees C. Ring opening of di-tert-butyl (2S,5R)-6-oxo-1,2-piperidinedicarboxylate ((5R)-5a) under reductive conditions afforded the corresponding 1,2-diol (17) in 91%, which was further transformed to (2S,5R)-5-hydroxylysine in four steps (84%). 17 is also a versatile intermediate in the preparation of tert-butyl (2S,5R)-2-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-5-hydroxy-6-iodohexanoate (3) and tert-butyl (2S)-2-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-4-[(2R)-oxiranyl]butanoate (4), two amino acid derivatives used in the total synthesis of the bone collagen cross-link (+)-pyridinoline (2a).     

N-monocarbamoyl derivatives of symmetrical diamines with antiviral activity

Some new N-monocarbamoyl symmetrical diamines have been prepared by the addition of symmetrical amines to isocyanates or isothiocyanates. 2,6-Diaminopyridine (1), (1R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane [(1R,2R)-2], meso-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (meso-2), or (1R,2R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine (3) were used as the starting symmetrical diamine frameworks. All of the newly synthesized compounds were subjected to an evaluation of antiviral activity with herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1. N-Monocarbamoyl 2,6-diaminopyridines (5a, b) showed significant antiviral activity (EC(50)=17.0, 6.2 microg/ml) comparable to that of N-monododecanoyl 2,6-diaminopyridine (A2). As a result, compound 5a showed a better selectivity index (CC(50)/EC(50) = ca. 10.0) than that of A2.     

Single route to chiral syn- and anti-2-amino-1,2-diphenylethanols via a new stereodivergent opening of trans-1,2-diphenyloxirane

Oxiranyl ring opening of trans-stilbene oxide gave rise to anti- or syn-2-bromo-1,2-diphenylethanols, using either MgBr(2).Et(2)O or MgBr(2).Et(2)O, NaBr, and KBr with Amberlyst 15, respectively. Starting from optically pure (R,R)-trans-stilbene oxide, (1R,2R)- and (1R,2S)-2-amino-1,2-diphenylethanols were obtained in high yield and ee.     

Synthesis and Characterization of New Chiral Schiff Base Complexes with Diiminobinaphthyl or Diiminocyclohexyl Moieties as Potential Enantioselective Epoxidation Catalysts

New chiral Schiff base complexes have been obtained by condensation of 2,2'-diamino-1,1'-binaphthalene or 1,2-diaminocyclohexane and various salicylaldehydes and by subsequent metalation with manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, or zinc. The complete (1)H and (13)C NMR characterization of the ligands is reported, as are the X-ray crystal structures of (1R,2R)-(-)-N,N'-bis[3-(N,N-dimethylamino)salicylidene]-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediimine and [(1R,2R)-(-)-N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediiminato]copper(II). The new chiral manganese complexes have been evaluated in the oxygenation of prochiral olefins and sulfides using sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, or N-methylmorpholine N-oxide/m-chloroperbenzoic acid as oxidant.     

Effect of the structure of the diamine backbone of P-N-N-P ligands in iron(II) complexes on catalytic activity in the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone

The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones can be efficiently accomplished using catalysts that are based on platinum group metals which are more toxic and less abundant than iron. For that reason the discovery of iron based catalysts for the use in this transformation is important. To address this issue, we synthesized a new series of iron(II)-based precatalysts trans-[Fe(Br)(CO)(PPh(2)CH(2)CH═NCHRCHRN═CHCH(2)PPh(2))]BPh(4) (5a-5d) containing P-N-N-P ligands with the diamines (R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (a), (R,R)-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-diaminoethane (b), (R,R)-1,2-di(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2-diaminoethane (c), and ethylenediamine (d) incorporated in the backbone using a convenient one-pot synthesis using readily available starting materials. All of the complexes, when activated with a base, show a very high activity in the transfer hydrogenation catalysis of acetophenone, using 2-propanol as a reducing agent under mild conditions. A comparison of the TOF of complexes 5a-5d show that the catalytic activity of complexes increase as the size of the substituents in the backbone of ligands increases (d < a < b = c).     

Uncommon coordination behaviour of P(S) and P(Se) units when bonded to carboranyl clusters: experimental and computational studies on the oxidation of carboranyl phosphine ligands

Oxidation of closo-carboranyl diphosphines 1,2-(PR(2))(2)-1,2-closo-C(2)B(10)H(10) (R=Ph, iPr) and closo-carboranyl monophosphines 1-PR(2)-2-R'-1,2-closo-C(2)B(10)H(10) (R=Ph, iPr, Cy; R'=Me, Ph) with hydrogen peroxide, sulfur and elemental black selenium evidences the unique capacity of the closo-carborane cluster to produce uncommon or unprecedented P/P(E) (E=S, Se) and P=O/P=S chelating ligands. When H(2)O(2) reacts with 1,2-(PR(2))(2)-1,2-closo-C(2)B(10)H(10) (R=Ph, iPr), they are oxidized to 1,2-(OPR(2))(2)-1,2-closo-C(2)B(10)H(10) (R=Ph, iPr). However, when S and Se are used, different reactivity is found for 1,2-(PPh(2))(2)-1,2-closo-C(2)B(10)H(10) and 1,2-(PiPr(2))(2)-1,2-closo-C(2)B(10)H(10). The reaction with sulfur produces mono- and dioxidation products for R=Ph, whereas Se produces the mono-oxidation product only. For R=iPr, only monooxidation takes place with S, and the second C(c)-PiPr(2) bond breaks to yield 1-SPiPr(2)-1,2-closo-C(2)B(10)H(11). When Se is used, only 1-SePiPr(2)-1,2-closo-C(2)B(10)H(11) is formed. The potential of the mono-chalcogenide carboranyl diphosphines 1-EPPh(2)-2-PPh(2)-1,2-closo-C(2)B(10)H(10) (E=S, 9; Se, 15) to behave as unsymmetric chelating bidentate ligands was studied for different metal complexes, different solvents and in the solid state. Dechalcogenation takes place in each case. Computational studies provided information on the P=E (E=S, Se) bonds. Steric effects block the bonding ability of the P=E group due to interactions between the chalcogen and the neighbouring hydrogen atoms (three from the phenyl rings and one from the carborane cluster). The electronic effects originate from the strongly electron-withdrawing character of the closo carborane cluster, which polarizes the P=E (E=S, Se) bond towards the phosphorus atom. As a consequence, the E atom is the electron-poor site and the P atom the electron-rich site in the P=E bond.     

Synthesis of asymmetric cyclopropyl acids and amines

(+) (S)- and (?) (R)-trans-1,2-cyclopropanedicarboxylic acids (C3A), (+) (S)- and (?) (R)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclopropanes (C3B), (+) (S)- and (?)

(R)-trans-(2-phenylcyclopropyl)-methylamines (øC3MB) were prepared.     

Mononucleotide recognition by cyclic trinuclear palladium(II) complexes containing 4,7-phenanthroline N,N bridges

Reaction of [(dach)Pd(NO3)2] entities (dach = (R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, (S,S)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane) and 4,7-phenanthroline (phen) providing, respectively, 90 and 120 degrees bond angles, leads to the formation of two novel positively charged homochiral cyclic trinuclear metallacalix[3]arene species [((R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane)Pd(phen)]3(NO3)6 (2a) and [((S,S)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane)Pd(phen)]3(NO3)6 (2b). These species have been characterised by 1)H NMR and X-ray diffraction methods (2b), showing that they possess accessible cavities suited for supramolecular recognition processes. We prove, indeed, from 1H NMR studies the inclusion of mononucleotides inside the cavity of the trinuclear species [(ethylenediamino)Pd(phen)]3(6+) (1), [((R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane)Pd(phen)]3(6+) (2a) and [((S,S)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane)Pd(phen)]3(6+) (2b) in aqueous solution. Association constants (K(ass)) range from 85 +/- 6 M(-1) for the interaction between [(ethylenediamine)Pd(phen)]3(6+) and adenosine monophosphate to 37 +/- 4 M(-1) for the interaction between [(1,2-diaminocyclohexane)Pd(phen)]3(6+) and thymidine monophosphate. We invoke the synergy of electrostatic, anion-pi and pi-pi interactions to explain the recognition of mononucleotides inside the cavity of the metallacalix[3]arenes.     

Synthesis of novel cyclohexanediol-derived chiral phosphite ligands and their application in the Cu-catalyzed conjugate addition of organozinc to cyclic enones

A series of novel chiral diphosphite ligands have been synthesized from (1R,2R)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol, (1S,2S)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol, racemic trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol and chlorophosphoric acid diary ester, and were successfully employed in the Cu-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-conjugate addition of diethylzinc to cyclohexenone with up to 99% ee. It was found that ligand 1,2-bis[(R)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diyl]phosphitecyclohexanediol 6a derived from racemic diol skeleton can show similar catalytic performance compared with ligand (1R,2R)-bis[(R)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diyl]phosphitecyclohexanediol 6a' derived from enantiopure startingmaterial. A significant dependence of stereoselectivity on the type of enone and the ring size of the cyclic enone was observed. Moreover, the configuration of the products was mainly determined by the configuration of the binaphthyl moieties of diphosphite ligands in the 1,4-addition of cyclic enones.
