Spirooxindoles have emerged as promising architectures for engineering biologically active compounds. The diastereodivergent construction of unique scaffolds this type with full control continuous chiral centers including an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center is yet to be developed. Here, we report unprecedented desymmetric [3 + 3] annulation oxabicyclic alkenes enals enabled by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)/Rh cooperative catalysis, leading a series enantiomerically enriched spirooxindole lactones excellent enantioselectivities (up >99% ee) and diastereoselectivities >95:5 dr). combined catalyst system comprises rhodium complex that controls the configuration at electrophilic carbon NHC nucleophilic oxindole-containing carbon; thus, four stereoisomers products can readily obtained simply switching configurations two catalysts. Transformations spirooxindoles delivered synthetically useful Importantly, those arrested mammalian cells in mitosis exhibited potent antiproliferative activities against HeLa cells. Significantly, both absolute relative exert prominent effects on bioactivities, underscoring great importance catalytic asymmetric synthesis beyond creating tools exploration structure–activity relationships.

The stereodivergent synthesis of allene compounds bearing α,β-adjacent central chiralities has been realized via the Pd/Cu-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric alkylation racemic allenylic esters. matched reactivity bimetallic catalytic system enables challenging reaction aryl-substituted acetates with sterically crowded aldimine esters smoothly under mild conditions. Various chiral non-natural amino acids a terminal allenyl group are easily synthesized in high yields and excellent diastereo- enantioselectivities (up to >20 : 1 dr, >99 % ee). Importantly, all four stereoisomers product can be readily accessed by switching configurations two metal catalysts. Furthermore, easy interconversion between uncommon η3 -butadienyl palladium intermediate featuring weak C=C/Pd coordination bond stable Csp2 -Pd is beneficial for transformation process (DyKAT).

Chiral skeletons with multiple stereogenic centers widely reside in nature and drugs, their relative absolute configuration often determine physiological or pharmacological properties. Stereodivergent synthesis of chiral molecules is not only great significance, but also highly challenging since the formation one diastereomers inherently preferred most asymmetric reactions. dual catalysis, introduced 2013 by Carreira group, perfectly catered to all requirements for full stereoselectivity control given reactions two catalysts are utilized a synergistic way act independently, has now been arguably efficient strategy realize stereodivergent synthesis. This comprehensive review presents an overview development enabled catalysis past ten years, providing readers fundamental attributes as well ability, scope, mechanism, limitations this strategy.

Synergistic Pd/Cu-Catalyzed 1,5-Double Chiral Inductions

Journal of the American Chemical Society, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 146(13), С. 9241 - 9251

Опубликована: Март 19, 2024

Much attention has been focused on the catalytic asymmetric creation of single chiral centers or two adjacent stereocenters. However, construction nonadjacent stereocenters is significant importance but challenging because lack remote induction models. Herein, based a C═C bond relay strategy, we report synergistic Pd/Cu-catalyzed 1,5-double model. All four stereoisomers target products bearing 1,5-nonadjacent involving both allenyl axial and central chirality could be obtained divergently by simply changing combination catalysts with different configurations. Control experiments DFT calculations reveal novel mechanism 1,5-oxidative addition, contra-thermodynamic η3-allyl palladium shift, conjugate nucleophilic substitution, which play crucial roles in control reactivity, regio-, enantio-, diastereoselectivity. It expected that this strategy may provide general protocol for synthesis structural motifs distant
