Aromatic l-prolinamide-catalyzed asymmetric Michael addition of aldehydes to nitroalkenes

Two chiral aromatic l-prolinamides were synthesized in high overall yield (95%) from N-Boc-l-proline and served as organocatalysts in asymmetric Michael reactions of aldehydes to nitroalkenes. Under the optimized reaction conditions, (S)-N-tritylpyrrolidine-2-carboxamide 4 was found to be a highly efficient organocatalyst for the Michael addition, and the corresponding Michael adducts were obtained in good yields (up to 94%), with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) and diastereoselectivities (up to 99:1 dr).

Catalytic asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions using alpha,beta-unsaturated N-acylpyrroles as highly reactive monodentate alpha,beta-unsaturated ester surrogates

Synthesis and application of alpha,beta-unsaturated N-acylpyrroles as highly reactive, monodentate ester surrogates in the catalytic asymmetric epoxidation and Michael reactions are described. alpha,beta-Unsaturated N-acylpyrroles with various functional groups were synthesized by the Wittig reaction using ylide 2. A Sm(O-i-Pr)(3)/H(8)-BINOL complex was the most effective catalyst for the epoxidation to afford pyrrolyl epoxides in up to 100% yield and >99% ee. Catalyst loading was successfully reduced to as little as 0.02 mol % (substrate/catalyst = 5000). The high turnover frequency and high volumetric productivity of the present reaction are also noteworthy. In addition, a sequential Wittig olefination-catalytic asymmetric epoxidation reaction was developed, providing efficient one-pot access to optically active epoxides from various aldehydes in high yield and ee (96-->99%). In a direct catalytic asymmetric Michael reaction of hydroxyketone promoted by the Et(2)Zn/linked-BINOL complex, Michael adducts were obtained in good yield (74-97%), dr (69/31-95/5), and ee (73-95%). This represents the first direct catalytic asymmetric Michael reaction of unmodified ketone to an alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative. The properties of alpha,beta-unsaturated N-acylpyrrole are also discussed. Finally, the utility of the N-acylpyrrole unit for further transformations is demonstrated.

Chiral pyrrolidine quaternary derivatives as organocatalysts for asymmetric Michael additions

Furthermore, catalyst 7a could be recycled without remarkable loss of catalytic activity and stereoselectivity.     

Highly efficient asymmetric Michael addition of aldehyde to nitroolefin using perhydroindolic acid as a chiral organocatalyst

Perhydroindolic acids, the by-products obtained in the industrial production of a trandolapril intermediate, were used as chiral organocatalysts in asymmetric Michael addition reactions of aldehydes to nitroolefins. These proline-like catalysts are unique for their rigid bicyclic structure with two H atoms attached to the bridgehead C atoms lying on the opposite side of the ring. They therefore showed high efficiency in asymmetric Michael additions of aldehydes to nitroolefins. Under the optimal conditions, excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 99/1 dr and 98% ee) were obtained with high chemical yields for a series of aldehydes and nitroolefins using only 5 mol% catalyst loading. The methodology features easily available catalysts, high catalytic efficiency and environmentally green procedures.     

Acid-base catalysis of chiral Pd complexes: development of novel catalytic asymmetric reactions and their application to synthesis of drug candidates

Using the unique character of the chiral Pd complexes 1 and 2, highly efficient catalytic asymmetric reactions have been developed. In contrast to conventional Pd(0)-catalyzed reactions, these complexes function as an acid-base catalyst. Thus active methine and methylene compounds were activated to form chiral palladium enolates, which underwent enantioselective carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions such as Michael reaction and Mannich-type reaction with up to 99% ee. Interestingly, these palladium enolates acted cooperatively with a strong protic acid, formed concomitantly during the formation of the enolates to activate electrophiles, thereby promoting the C-C bond-forming reaction. This palladium enolate chemistry was also applicable to electrophilic enantioselective fluorination reactions, and various carbonyl compounds including beta-ketoesters, beta-ketophosphonates, tert-butoxycarbonyl lactone/lactams, cyanoesters, and oxindole derivatives could be fluorinated in a highly enantioselective manner (up to 99% ee). Using this method, the catalytic enantioselective synthesis of BMS-204352, a promising anti-stroke agent, was achieved. In addition, the direct enantioselective conjugate addition of aromatic and aliphatic amines to alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compound was successfully demonstrated. In this reaction, combined use of the Pd complex 2 having basic character and the amine salt was the key to success, allowing controlled generation of the nucleophilic free amine. This aza-Michael reaction was successfully applied to asymmetric synthesis of the CETP inhibitor torcetrapib.     

Highly enantioselective Michael addition of cyclic ketones to chalcones catalyzed by pyrrolidine-based imides

4-Trifluoromethanesulfonamidyl prolinol tert-butyldiphenylsilyl ether as a highly efficient bifunctional organocatalyst for Michael addition of ketones and aldehydes to nitroolefins

4-Trifluoromethanesulfonamidyl prolinol tert-butyldiphenylsilyl ether bifunctional organocatalyst 3a is a highly efficient catalyst for the asymmetric Michael addition reactions of ketones and aldehydes to nitrostyrenes, leading to syn-selective adducts with excellent yields (>99%), high diastereoselectivities (up to 99:1 dr) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). Control experiments suggested that the trans-configuration relationship between the bulky group (-CH₂OTBDPS) and the sulfonamido group at the 4-position of the pyrrolidine ring was important to achieve high yield and stereoselectivity.     

Organocatalytic highly enantioselective Michael addition of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones to nitroalkenes

Good yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) could be achieved. This organocatalytic asymmetric Michael addition provides an efficient route toward the synthesis of optically active functionalized naphthoquinones.
