Propyne Iminium Salts and Phosphorus(III) Nucleophiles: Synthesis of (3-Morpholinoallenyl)phosphanes and -phosphane Oxides or 1-(Morpholinopropargyl)phosphanes and -phosphonates

Abstract Treatment of 4-(1,3-diphenyl-l-propynylidene)morpholinium triflate (1a) with the neutral phosphorus nucleophiles Me3Si,PPh2, Me3Si,P(Ph)C5H11, and Me3SiO,PPh2 affords (3-morpholinoallenyl)phosphanes 4 and 5 and (3-morpholinoallenyl)phosphane oxide 11, respectively. In contrast to these conjugate addition reactions at the ambident propyne iminium moiety of 1a, nucleophilic attack by Me3Si,PEt2 and Me3SiO,P(OEt)2 takes place at the iminium function and gives (1-morpholinopropargyl)phosphane 6 and (1-morpholinopropargyl)phosphonate 12, respectively. Propyne iminium salt 1b reacts with Me3Si,PPh2 to form (3-morpholino-1,3-butadienyl)phosphane oxide 8. The bis(donor)-substituted allene 4 is transformed by oxidation of the phosphorus substituent into the push-pull substituted allenylphosphane oxide 11. Treatment of allene 4 with elemental sulfur results in the formation of betaine 16, which undergoes [3+2] cycloaddition reactions with acetylenic esters to afford 5-benzylidene-4,5-dihydrothiophenes 17 and 18.

An Efficient Synthesis of Novel ,-Aminophosphonates Based on a Mannich-Type Reaction

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 2 2005
Nikolaus Risch
Abstract Phosphonate-substituted iminium salt 2 was used in Mannich reactions with various nucleophiles to obtain novel ,-aminophosphonates. This straightforward and efficient methodology has a broad scope and provides highly functionalized Mannich bases (4 and 8). Furthermore, vinylic, aromatic and homoallylic ,-aminophosphonates (5, 10 and 12) were synthesized in good yields. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005) [source]

A Straightforward Synthesis of N -Functionalized ,-Diimines

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 2 2003
Alexandrine Maraval
Abstract Reaction of Schwartz's reagent [Cp2ZrHCl]n (1) (one or two equivalents) with gem -dinitrile compounds of the type X(CN)2 [X = CMe2, CBenz2, P(NiPr2)2] gives the corresponding mono- and di- N -zirconated imino complexes selectively. Substitution reactions of the zirconocene metal fragment with electrophiles such as, for example, chlorophosphanes of the type R2PCl, acid chlorides RC(O)Cl or the iminium salt [CH2NMe2]Cl allowed the preparation of a large variety of stable N -functionalized mono- and ,-diimine derivatives. The nature of the X group is of particular importance for the success of the substitution reaction step. The X-ray crystal structures obtained for the N -functionalized gem -aldimino-nitrile compounds 9, 10b, the N -phosphorylated ,-diimine 32, and the gem -formyl nitrile derivative 12b are presented.

Abstract Reaction of 2-phenylacetaldehyde with the Me3Si ether of diphenyl-prolinol, with removal of H2O, gives a crystalline enamine (1). The HBF4 salts of the MePh2Si ether of diphenyl-prolinol and of 2-(tert -butyl)-3-methyl- and 5-benzyl-2,2,3-trimethyl-1,3-imidazolidin-4-one react with cinnamaldehyde to give crystalline iminium salts 2, 3, and 4. Single crystals of the enamine and of two iminium salts, 2 and 3, were subjected to X-ray structure analysis (Figs.,1, 2, and 6), and a 2D-NMR spectrum of the third iminium salt was recorded (Fig.,7). The crystal and NMR structures confirm the commonly accepted, general structures of the two types of reactive intermediates in organocatalysis with the five-membered heterocycles, i.e., D, E (Scheme,2). Fine details of the crystal structures are discussed in view of the observed stereoselectivities of the corresponding reactions with electrophiles and nucleophiles. The structures 1 and 2 are compared with those of other diphenyl-prolinol derivatives (from the Cambridge File CSD; Table,1) and discussed in connection with other reagents and ligands, containing geminal diaryl groups and being used in enantioselective synthesis (Fig.,4). The iminium ions 3 and 4 are compared with N -acylated imidazolidinones F and G (Figs.,9, 12, and 13, and Table,3), and common structural aspects such as minimalization of 1,5-repulsion (the ,A1,3 -effect'), are discussed. The crystal structures of the simple diphenyl-prolinol,HBF4 salt (Fig.,3) and of Boc- and benzoyl-(tert -butyl)methyl-imidazolidinone (Boc-BMI and Bz-BMI, resp.; Figs.,10 and 11) are also reported. Finally, the crystal structures are compared with previously published theoretical structures, which were obtained from high-level-of-theory DFT calculations (Figs.,5 and 8, and Table,2). Delicate details including pyramidalization of trigonal N-atoms, distortions around iminium CN bonds, shielding of diastereotopic faces, and the , -interaction between a benzene ring and a Me group match so well with, and were actually predicting the experimental results that the question may seem appropriate, whether one will soon start considering to carry out such calculations before going to the laboratory for experimental optimizations.

Stereodivergent Diversity Oriented Synthesis of Piperidine Alkaloids,,

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 22 2006
Louis V. Adriaenssens
Abstract Alkylidenetitanium reagents enable the reagent-controlled high throughput asymmetric synthesis of 2-substituted piperidines and rapid access to multiple cyclic imines using solid phase synthesis (SPS). The Schrock carbenes, generated by reduction of thioacetals, convert resin-bound esters into enol ethers. Treatment with acid releases amino ketones that are cyclized with TMSCl to give iminium salts. Reduction introduces a chiral centre at C-2, whose absolute stereochemistry is determined by a phenethylamine (PEA) chiral auxiliary. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Stereochemical Models for Discussing Additions to ,,, -Unsaturated Aldehydes Organocatalyzed by Diarylprolinol or Imidazolidinone Derivatives , Is There an ,(E)/(Z)-Dilemma'?

HELVETICA CHIMICA ACTA, Issue 4 2010
Dieter Seebach
Abstract The structures of iminium salts formed from diarylprolinol or imidazolidinone derivatives and ,,, -unsaturated aldehydes have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction (Fig.,1), single-crystal X-ray analyses (Table,1), NMR spectroscopy (Tables,2 and 3, Figs.,2,7), and DFT calculations (Helv. Chim. Acta2009, 92, 1, 1225, 2010, 93, 1; Angew. Chem., Int. Ed.2009, 48, 3065). Almost all iminium salts of this type exist in solution as diastereoisomeric mixtures with (E)- and (Z)-configured +NC bond geometries. In this study, (E)/(Z) ratios ranging from 88,:,12 up to 98,:,2 (Tables,2 and 3) and (E)/(Z) interconversions (Figs.,2,7) were observed. Furthermore, the relative rates, at which the (E)- and (Z)-isomers are formed from ammonium salts and ,,, -unsaturated aldehydes, were found to differ from the (E)/(Z) equilibrium ratio in at least two cases (Figs.,4 and 5,,a, and Fig.,6,,a); more (Z)-isomer is formed kinetically than corresponding to its equilibrium fraction. Given that the enantiomeric product ratios observed in reactions mediated by organocatalysts of this type are often ,99,:,1, the (E)-iminium-ion intermediates are proposed to react with nucleophiles faster than the (Z)-isomers (Scheme,5 and Fig.,8). Possible reasons for the higher reactivity of (E)-iminium ions (Figs.,8 and 9) and for the kinetic preference of (Z)-iminium-ion formation are discussed (Scheme,4). The results of related density functional theory (DFT) calculations are also reported (Figs.,10,13 and Table,4). [source]


Structures of the Reactive Intermediates in Organocatalysis with Diarylprolinol Ethers

HELVETICA CHIMICA ACTA, Issue 7 2009

Abstract Structures of the reactive intermediates (enamines and iminium ions) of organocatalysis with diarylprolinol derivatives have been determined. To this end, diarylprolinol methyl and silyl ethers, 1, and aldehydes, PhCH2CHO, tBuCH2CHO, PhCH=CHCHO, are condensed to the corresponding enamines, A and 3 (Scheme,2), and cinnamoylidene iminium salts, B and 4 (Scheme,3). These are isolated and fully characterized by melting/decomposition points, [,]D, elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS). Salts with BF4, PF6, SbF6, and the weakly coordinating Al[OC(CF3)3]4 anion were prepared. X-Ray crystal structures of an enamine and of six iminium salts have been obtained and are described herein (Figs.,2 and 4,8, and Tables,2 and 7) and in a previous preliminary communication (Helv. Chim. Acta2008, 91, 1999). According to the NMR spectra (in CDCl3, (D6)DMSO, (D6)acetone, or CD3OD; Table,1), the major isomers 4 of the iminium salts have (E)-configuration of the exocyclic NC(1,) bond, but there are up to 11% of the (Z)-isomer present in these solutions (Fig.,1). In all crystal structures, the iminium ions have (E)-configuration, and the conformation around the exocyclic N-CC-O bond is synclinal-exo (cf.C and L), with one of the phenyl groups over the pyrrolidine ring, and the RO group over the , -system. One of the meta -substituents (Me in 4b, CF3 in 4c and 4e) on a 3,5-disubstituted phenyl group is also located in the space above the , -system. DFT Calculations at various levels of theory (Tables,3,6) confirm that the experimentally determined structures (cf. Fig.,10) are by far (up to 8.3,kcal/mol) the most stable ones. Implications of the results with respect to the mechanism of organocatalysis by diarylprolinol derivatives are discussed. [source]

Highly Enantioselective Biphasic Iminium-Catalyzed Epoxidation of Alkenes.

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 4 2009
On the Importance of the Counterion, of N(sp2)C(sp3) Rotamers
Abstract Diastereomeric biaryliminium cations made of an (Ra)-5,5,,6,6,,7,7,,8,8,-octahydrobinaphthyl core and exocyclic appendages derived from (S)- or (R)-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-amine are effective asymmetric epoxidation catalysts for unfunctionalized alkenes. Herein, we report that the negative counterion of the iminium salts has to be chosen wisely. While the hexafluoroantimonate anion [SbF6,] is optimal for reliable results, one has to be careful about other anions and tetraphenylborate [BPh4,] in particular. We also detail that the so far unexplained "lack" of stereochemical control from the chiral exocyclic appendage in this type of catalysts is due to the existence of atropisomers around the N(sp2)C(sp3) bond that links the azepinium core to the exocyclic stereocenter. Finally, we develop a general model to predict with certainty the high selectivity in the formation of non-racemic epoxides of defined absolute configuration. [source]
