Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of Functionalized Cyclopropanes from α-Substituted Allyl Sulfones with Donor-Acceptor or Diacceptor Diazo Reagents

The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of highly functionalized cyclopropanes from α-substituted allyl sulfones and silanes is reported. The reaction, using α-aryl diazoacetates or diacceptor diazo reagents, catalyzed by a chiral rhodium complex (Rh₂((S)-BTPCP)₄), furnished the corresponding cyclopropanes in moderate to high yields (27–97 %), high diastereoselectivities (68 : 32 to 20 : 1 d.r.) and moderate to excellent ee (40–99 %). This methodology offers a privileged access to an underexplored class of enantioenriched cyclopropanes with a high level of functionality, an asset for further post-functionalization and their incorporation into more complex structure.     

Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of Halocyclopropanes

A catalytic asymmetric synthesis of halocyclopropanes is described. The developed method is based on a carbenoid cyclopropanation of 2‐haloalkenes with tert‐butyl α‐cyano‐α‐diazoacetate using a chiral rhodium catalyst that permits access to a broad range of highly functionalized chiral halocyclopropanes (F, Cl, Br, and I) in good yields, moderate diastereoselectivity, and excellent enantiomeric ratios. The reported methodology represents the first general catalytic enantioselective approach to halocyclopropanes.     

Asymmetric Total Syntheses of Di‐ and Sesquiterpenoids by Catalytic C−C Activation of Cyclopentanones

To show the synthetic utility of the catalytic C?C activation of less strained substrates, described here are the collective and concise syntheses of the natural products (?)‐microthecaline A, (?)‐leubehanol, (+)‐pseudopteroxazole, (+)‐seco‐pseudopteroxazole, pseudopterosin A–F and G—J aglycones, and (+)‐heritonin. The key step in these syntheses involve a Rh‐catalyzed C?C/C?H activation cascade of 3‐arylcyclopentanones, which provides a rapid and enantioselective route to access the polysubstituted tetrahydronaphthalene cores presented in these natural products. Other important features include 1) the direct C?H amination of the tetralone substrate in the synthesis of (?)‐microthecaline A, 2) the use of phosphoric acid to enhance efficiency and regioselectivity for problematic cyclopentanone substrates in the C?C activation reactions, and 3) the direct conversion of serrulatane into amphilectane diterpenes by an allylic cyclodehydrogenation coupling.

Fluoroalkylation of Diazo Compounds with Diverse Rfn Reagents

Progress in the transition‐metal‐catalyzed or ‐free fluoroalkylation of diazo compounds with different types of fluoroalkyl (R_fn) transfer reagents is summarized in this review. Special attention is focused on the straightforward trifluoromethylation, gem‐difluoroolefination, trifluoromethoxylation, fluoroalkylthiolation, and trifluoromethylselenolation of diazo substrates. The mechanistic insights and the application of some of the products are also discussed in this article. We believe that this review will inspire both young and experienced chemists to further study the direct fluoroalkylation of diazo compounds as an efficient and convenient way to build complex fluorine‐containing molecules.

Asymmetric Cyclization Reactions of Allenoates with Imines or α,β‐Unsaturated Ketones Catalyzed by Organocatalysts Derived from Cinchona Alkaloids

Lewis base‐catalyzed cyclization reactions of allenoates with electron‐deficient olefins and imines have been demonstrated by the preparation of biologically active natural products and pharmaceutically interesting substances and have emerged as powerful synthetic tools in the rapid construction of cyclic molecular complexity. In contrast to phosphine‐containing Lewis bases, nitrogen‐containing Lewis base amines display markedly different reaction profiles; however, this area is not well‐developed. Herein we summarize the recent progress in this emerging field and outline the challenges ahead.     

Enantioselective Catalytic [4+1]-Cyclization of ortho-Hydroxy-para-Quinone Methides with Allenoates

The first highly asymmetric catalytic synthesis of densely functionalized dihydrobenzofurans is reported, which starts from ortho-hydroxy-containing para-quinone methides. The reaction relies on an unprecedented formal [4+1]-annulation of these quinone methides with allenoates in the presence of a commercially available chiral phosphine catalyst. The chiral dihydrobenzofurans were obtained as single diastereomers in yields up to 90 % and with enantiomeric ratios up to 95:5.     

Stabilization of a Chiral Dirhodium Carbene by Encapsulation and a Discussion of the Stereochemical Implications

For the first time, the stereochemical course of an asymmetric cyclopropanation can be discussed on the basis of experimental structural information on a pertinent chiral dirhodium carbene intermediate. Key to success was the formation of racemic single crystals of a heterochiral [Rh₂{(S*)‐PTTL}₄{=C(Ar)COOMe}][Rh₂{(R*)‐PTTL}₄] (Ar=MeOC₆H₄; PTTL=N‐phthaloyl‐tert‐leucinate) capsule, which has been characterized by X‐ray diffraction. NMR spectroscopic data confirm that the obtained structural portrait is also relevant in solution and provide additional information about the dynamics of this species. The chiral binding pocket is primarily defined by the conformational preferences of the N‐phthaloyl‐protected amino acid ligands and reinforced by a network of weak interligand interactions that get stronger when chlorinated phthalimide residues are used.     

Rhodium‐Catalyzed Arylation of Cyclopropenes Based on Asymmetric Direct Functionalization of Three‐Membered Carbocycles

A variety of highly diastereo‐ and enantiomerically enriched arylcyclopropanes is obtained through the asymmetric rhodium‐catalyzed arylation reaction of achiral nonfunctionalized cyclopropene derivatives with commercially available aryl boronic acids in the presence of (R,S)‐Josiphos.     

Catalytic and Asymmetric Aziridination using Sulfur Ylides.

Abstract:

This paper describes a new method for the preparation of aziridines from imines and diazocompounds which requires catalytic amounts of metal salts and sulfides and operates under neutral conditions. Using enantiomerically pure sulfides, high enantioselectivity has been achieved in the aziridination process.     

Direct Synthesis of Chiral Allenoates from the Asymmetric CH Insertion of α‐Diazoesters into Terminal Alkynes

The asymmetric C? H insertion of α‐diazoesters into 1‐alkynes was achieved using chiral cationic guanidinium salts and copper(I) complexes. Optically active 2,4‐disubstituted allenoates were generated under mild reaction conditions from various α‐diazoesters and 1‐alkynes in high yield (up to 99 %) and enantioselectivity (up to 97:3 e.r.). Control experiments excluded the possibility of an asymmetric isomerization of alkynoates.
