    Lewis Acid Mediated Aminobenzannulation Reactions of ,-Ketoalkynes: Synthesis of 1-Aminocarbazoles and 9-Aminopyrido[1,2- a]indoles

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 17 2009
    Diego Facoetti
    Abstract 2-Acyl- N -propargylindoles 1 and 2-acyl-3-propargylindoles 5 undergo aminobenzannulation reactions with pyrrolidine in the presence of an appropriate Lewis acid to give 9-aminopyrido[1,2- a]indoles 6 and 1-aminocarbazoles 7, respectively. The selection of the appropriate Lewis acid, TiCl4 or GaCl3 for 1 and InCl3 for 5, allows the domino process involving the initial formation of an enamine intermediate, followed by a regioselective 6- exo - dig intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the nucleophilic terminus of the unsaturated system (the ,-carbon of the enamino moiety) to the carbon,carbon triple bond. Moreover, several features concerning the reaction mechanism and the role of both catalysts, in connection with the electronic properties of the reacting alkynes, are reported.

    Lewis Acid Induced [2+2] Cycloadditions of Silyl Enol Ethers with ,,,-Unsaturated Esters: A DFT Analysis

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 18 2005
    Manuel Arnó
    Abstract The Lewis acid (LA) induced cycloaddition of trimethysilyl vinyl ether with methyl acrylate has been studied by DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. In the absence of an LA, a [4+2] cycloaddition between the silyl enol ether and methyl acrylate in the s-cis conformation takes place through an asynchronous, concerted bond-formation process. This cycloaddition presents a large activation enthalpy of 21.1 kcal,mol,1. Coordination of the LA AlCl3 to the carbonyl oxygen atom of methyl acrylate yields a change of molecular mechanism from a concerted to a two-step mechanism and produces a drastic reduction of the activation energy. This stepwise mechanism is initialized by the nucleophilic attack of the enol ether at the ,-position of methyl acrylate in a Michael-type addition. The very low activation energy (7.1 kcal,mol,1)associated with this nucleophilic attack can be related to the increase of the electrophilicity of the LA-coordinated ,,,-unsaturated ester, which favors the cycloaddition through a polar process. The subsequent ring-closure allows the formation of the corresponding [2+2] and [4+2] cycloadducts. While the [4+2] cycloadduct is formed by kinetic control, the [2+2] cycloadducts are formed by thermodynamic control. The energetic results provide an explanation for the conversion of [4+2] cycloadducts into the thermodynamically more stable [2+2] ones. The cis/trans ratio found for the catalytic [2+2] process is in agreement with the experimental outcome. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005) [source]


    The Formation of Silylated ,-Lactams from Silylketenes through Lewis Acid Promoted [2+2] Cycloaddition: A Combined Theoretical and Experimental Study

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 12 2005
    Béatrice Pelotier
    Abstract The stereoselective formation of silylated cis -,-lactams from (trimethylsilyl)ketene and an ,-imino ester by Lewis acid catalysis is described. Theoretical results suggest that the reaction between (trimethylsilyl)ketene and trans -(methoxycarbonyl)- N -methylformaldimine would proceed most favourably with the BF3 catalyst coordinated to the ketene. Moreover, the calculated energy barriers account for the cis:trans ratio found experimentally. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005) [source]


    A Lewis Acid Promoted Asymmetric Umpolung Reaction with ChiralN -Sulfinyl Imines as the Electrophiles

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 9 2005
    Xin Xu
    Abstract An new asymmetric umpolung reaction has been developed by reacting N -sulfinyl imines with 2-lithio-2-phenyl-1,3-dithiane. The reaction was conducted at between ,20 and,25 °C in THF in the presence of Et2AlCl as the Lewis acid promoter. Excellent diastereoselectivities (up to >95,% de) and chemical yields (64,95,%) have been achieved for nine substrates with all individual isomers separated and characterized. The absolute structure of the chiral products has been unambiguously determined by synthetic conversions to a known sample. 2-Lithio-2-phenyl-1,3-dithiane was found to be much less reactive than its 2-methyl counterpart, which was reported very recently. All individual isomers have been readily separated by column chromatography. The absolute structure of the chiral products has been unambiguously determined by conversion into a known compound. This method provides an easy access to enantiomerically pure ,-amino ketones. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005) [source]


    Aqueous Asymmetric Mukaiyama Aldol Reaction Catalyzed by Chiral Gallium Lewis Acid with Trost-Type Semi-Crown Ligands

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 9 2005
    Hui-Jing Li
    Abstract The combination of Ga(OTf)3 with chiral semi-crown ligands (1a,e) generates highly effective chiral gallium Lewis acid catalysts for aqueous asymmetric aldol reactions of aromatic silyl enol ethers with aldehydes. A ligand-acceleration effect was observed. Water is essential for obtaining high diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity. The p -phenyl substituent in aromatic silyl enol ether (2,h) plays an important role and increases the enantioselectivity up to 95% ee. Although aliphatic silyl enol ethers provided low enantioselectivities and silylketene acetal is easily hydrolyzed in aqueous alcohol, the aldol reactions of silylketene thioacetal (12) with aldehydes in the presence of gallium-Lewis acid catalysts give the ,-hydroxy thioester with reasonable yields and high diastereo- (up to 99,:,1) and enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee).
