Synthesis of Tyrosine-Derived Tetrahydroisoquinolines by Lewis Acid Catalyzed Cyclization of N -(Phenylsulfonyl)alkyloxazolidinones,

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 33 2007
Stefan Tussetschläger
Abstract N -Boc-protected tyrosine esters 5a,b were converted into tetrahydroisoquinolines 13 and 14 in four steps by reduction and ring closure to oxazolidinones 9 and 10, addition of benzenesulfinic acid and aldehydes to sulfones 11 and 12 and subsequent Lewis acid catalyzed cyclization. In the case of m -tyrosine derivative 5a, selective protection with bromine prevented the formation of undesired regioisomers. Debromination of target compounds 13 was readily achieved under radical reduction conditions by using Bu3SnH/AIBN. Tetrahydroisoquinolines 13 and 14 were isolated as single diastereomers whose trans configuration was confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Partial epimerization of trans - 13i and trans - 21 to the corresponding cis diastereomers was achieved under basic conditions. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Ruthenium(II)-Catalyzed Cyclization of Oxabenzonorbornenes with Propargylic Alcohols: Formation of Isochromenes

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 24 2006
Karine Villeneuve
Abstract The ruthenium-catalyzed cyclization of a propargylic alcohol with an oxabenzonorbornene in methanol leads to an unanticipated isochromene framework. The catalytic cycle to form this product is believed to go through an oxidative cyclization of the two unsaturated partners with the ruthenium catalyst, followed by ,-hydride elimination, tautomerization andhydroruthenation. The ruthenacyclobutane thus obtained further undergoes [2+2] cycloreversion to form a ruthenium,carbene intermediate that atypically rearranges via a [1,3]-alkoxide shift and finally reductively eliminates to produce the desired compound.

Abstract A sulfur-assisted and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU)-catalyzed cyclization of 2-alkynylanilines for the metal-free synthesis of indole derivatives is reported. As a result of the metal-free process, the ready availability of the starting materials and the simple and convenient operation, the type of reaction presented here has potential utility in organic synthesis. A 10-gram scale preparation may demonstrate the possibility of its application in the environmentally friendly synthesis of indole derivatives. [source]


Synthesis of (E)-3-Alkylidene-1-pyrrolines by the Rhodium- Catalyzed Cyclization of Terminal Alkynes with Homopropargylic Amines

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 14-15 2009
Yoshiya Fukumoto
Abstract The cyclization of terminal alkynes with homopropargylic amines in the presence of a rhodium complex as catalyst leads to the formation of (E)-3-alkylidene-1-pyrrolines. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups on the terminal alkynes. The formation of a vinylidene-rhodium complex, followed by the intermolecular nucleophilic attack of a homopropargylic amine nitrogen on the ,-carbon atom of the vinylidene-rhodium complex, is proposed as a key step in the catalytic reaction.

Synthesis of Trisubstituted Pyrroles from Rhodium-Catalyzed Alkyne Head-to-Tail Dimerization and Subsequent Gold- Catalyzed Cyclization

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 9 2009
Hong Mei Peng
Abstract Dimerization of N -protected propargylic amines in a rather rare head-to-tail mode has been achieved under mild conditions with high selectivity using rhodium catalysts. The N -protecting group could be a sulfonyl, carbamate, or carbonyl functionality and (cyclooctadiene)rhodium chloride dimer/1,1,-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene {[Rh(COD)Cl]2/dppf} as well as tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium chloride [Rh(PPh3)3Cl] proved to be active catalysts. In addition, these functionalized gem -enynes subsequently undergo selective gold(III)-catalyzed intramolecular hydroamination to give trisubstituted pyrroles under mild conditions. [source]

Abstract Acetal-protected (2,4-dioxocyclohex-1-yl)acetic acids were prepared by allylation of dilithiated 1,3-cyclohexane-1,3-diones, protection of the carbonyl groups and oxidation of the alkene moiety. Their reaction with amines afforded the corresponding amides which were transformed, by acid-catalyzed cyclization, into various 2,6-dioxo-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydroindoles. The reaction of the latter with triflic acid resulted in the formation of novel 5,8,9,10-tetrahydro-6H -indolo[2,1- a]isoquinolin-9-ones. [source]

Studies on Pd0 -Catalyzed Cyclization of N -3,4-Alkadienyl Toluenesulfonamides with Organic Halides: Selective Synthesis of 2,3-Dihydropyrroles, 1,2,3,6-Tetrahydropyrridines, and Azetidines

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 1 2007
Shengming Ma Prof.
Abstract The palladium-catalyzed coupling,cyclization of ,-amino allenes with organic halides ranging from aryl halide to 1-alkenyl halide was studied. 2,3-Dihydro-1H -pyrroles were obtained by reaction of 3-substituted-5-unsubstituted-3,4-allenyl amides under conditions A, while the reaction of 5-substituted-3,4-allenyl amides afforded 1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridines and/or azetidines with high de under conditions B or C. The skeleton and relative configuration of the six-membered products were established by the X-ray diffraction studies of 10,ka. Allenyl amide 4,q reacted with 1,4-diiodobenzene 6,r to afford double cyclization product 15. The structure of its major stereoisomer was also determined by the X-ray diffraction study. [source]
