Abstract The first highly atroposelective construction of N−N axially chiral indole scaffolds was established via a new strategy de novo ring formation. This makes use the organocatalytic asymmetric Paal–Knorr reaction well‐designed N ‐aminoindoles with 1,4‐diketones, thus affording ‐pyrrolylindoles in high yields and excellent atroposelectivities (up to 98 % yield, 96 ee). In addition, this is applicable for synthesis bispyrroles 97 More importantly, such heterocycles can be converted into organocatalysts applications catalysis, some molecules display potent anticancer activity. work not only provides but also offers members atropisomer family promising synthetic medicinal chemistry.

Carbene-catalyzed atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral styrenes

Nature Communications, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 13(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 10, 2022

Abstract Axially chiral styrenes bearing a axis between sterically non-congested acyclic alkene and an aryl ring are difficult to prepare due low rotational barrier of the axis. Disclosed here is N -heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalytic asymmetric solution this problem. Our reaction involves ynals, sulfinic acids, phenols as substrates with NHC catalyst. Key steps involve selective 1,4-addition anion acetylenic acylazolium intermediate sequential E -selective protonation set up affords axially product > 99:1 e.r ., 20:1 / Z selectivity, excellent yields. The sulfone carboxylic ester moieties in our styrene products common bioactive molecules catalysis.

Axially chiral alkenes: Atroposelective synthesis and applications

Tetrahedron Chem, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 1, С. 100009 - 100009

Опубликована: Март 1, 2022

Axial chirality is historically epitomized by biaryl compounds containing rotationally impeded aryl-aryl linkage. As the field of atroposelective catalysis advances, synthesis and application less common scaffolds such as alkenes have now come to fore. The manifestation axial in aryl was hypothesized 1928 first resolution achieved nearly a decade later. However, catalytic asymmetric construction axially chiral open-chain appeared only 2017 which ushered renewed focus on these structures. In principle, possess an alkene group tethered at one end stereogenic axis, greatly reduces overall rigidity. To date, atropisomers with C (vinyl)-C (aryl) (vinyl)-heteroatom bond been reported. Considering rapid growth synthetic utility alkenes, this review intends provide historical overview discusses new developments. It hope that timely discussion would motivate continued nascent field.

Photocatalytic Z/E isomerization unlocking the stereodivergent construction of axially chiral alkene frameworks

Nature Communications, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 15(1)

Опубликована: Апрель 16, 2024

Abstract The past century has witnessed a large number of reports on the Z / E isomerization alkenes. However, vast majority them are still limited to di- and tri-substituted stereospecific tetrasubstituted alkenes remains be an underdeveloped area, thus lacking in stereodivergent synthesis axially chiral Herein we report atroposelective alkene analogues by asymmetric allylic substitution-isomerization, followed their via triplet energy transfer photocatalysis. In this regard, N -vinylquinolinones is achieved efficiently. Mechanistic studies indicate that benzylic radical generation distribution two key factors for preserving enantioselectivities compounds.

Rhodium‐Catalyzed Atroposelective Access to Axially Chiral Olefins via C−H Bond Activation and Directing Group Migration

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 61(1)

Опубликована: Окт. 22, 2021

Axially chiral open-chain olefins represent an underexplored class of platform. In this report, two classes tetrasubstituted axially acyclic have been accessed in excellent enantioselectivity and regioselectivity via C-H activation (hetero)arenes assisted by a migratable directing group en route to coupling with sterically hindered alkynes. The indoles bearing N-aminocarbonyl afforded C-N acrylamides the assistance racemic zinc carboxylate additive. DFT studies suggest β-nitrogen elimination-reinsertion pathway for migration. Meanwhile, employment N-phenoxycarboxamide delivered C-C enamides migration oxidizing group. Experiments that both cases (hetero)arene substrate adopts well-defined orientation during activation, which turn determines disposition alkyne migratory insertion. Synthetic applications representative are demonstrated.
