Synthesis and Analysis of Natural-Product-Like Macrocycles by Tandem Oxidation/Oxa-Conjugate Addition Reactions

As traditional small-molecule drug discovery programs focus on a relatively narrow range of chemical space, most human proteins are viewed as unreachable targets. Consequently, there is a strong interest in expanding the chemical space in drug discovery beyond traditional small molecules. Here, a strategy for the preparation of a broad natural-product-like macrocyclic library by using the tandem allylic oxidation/oxa-conjugate addition and macrocyclization reactions is reported. Cheminformatic analyses demonstrate that this tetrahydropyran-containing macrocyclic library shows a significant overlap with natural products in the chemical space. This approach can be used for designing libraries that may probe more deeply into natural-product-like space.

The Oxidation of Organo-Boron Compounds Using Electrochemically Generated Peroxodicarbonate

Peroxodicarbonate represents a green and largely underexplored oxidizer generated electrochemically from aqueous carbonate solutions. Through state-of-the-art electrolyzer technology, highly concentrated solutions have now become accessible. These were successfully employed as green oxidizer in deborolative hydroxylations. A plethora of phenols and alcohols have thus been synthesized in up to 99 % from organoboron compounds using only green and non-toxic solvents. This transformation was successfully scaled-up to multi-gram batch sizes.     

Enantioselective Synthesis of Spiro Heterocyclic Compounds Using a Combination of Organocatalysis and Transition-Metal Catalysis

Over the last ten years, the combination of organocatalysis with transition metal (TM) catalysis has become one of the most important toolboxes used for synthesizing optically pure compounds containing chiral quaternary centers, including spiro heterocyclic molecules. The dominant method in the enantioselective synthesis of spiro heterocyclic compounds based on synergistic catalysis includes chiral aminocatalysis and NHC catalysis, as already established covalent organocatalytic strategies. Another area of organocatalysis widely combined with TM catalysis producing enantiomerically enriched spiro heterocyclic compounds is non-covalent catalysis, dominated by chiral phosphoric acids, thiourea, and squaramide derivatives. This review article aims to summarize enantioselective methods used for constructing spirocyclic heterocycles based on a combination of organocatalysis and transition metal catalysis.

Catalytic Aerobic Oxidation and Tandem Enantioselective Cycloaddition in Cascade Multicomponent Synthesis

An efficient multicomponent cascade transformation for the highly diastereo‐ and enantioselective synthesis of complex natural product inspired polycyclic products from simple starting materials is described. The cascade is initiated by copper‐catalyzed aerobic C?H oxidation of cyclopentadiene to cyclopentadienone followed by double catalytic asymmetric 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides. The cascade synthesis efficiently yields structurally complex 5,5,5‐tricyclic products with eight stereocenters with good yields and excellent diastereo‐ and enantiocontrol using one catalyst.
