Asymmetric Aza-Morita,Baylis,Hillman Reactions of Alkyl Vinyl Ketones with N -Protected Imines or In Situ Generated N -Protected Imines

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 21 2010
Xiao-Yang Guan
Abstract DABCO-catalyzed aza-MBH reactions of N -Boc imines with MVK and EVK have been thoroughly investigated in the paper. The asymmetric version of this aza-MBH reaction was also systematically investigated by using a chiral amine or a chiral phosphane catalyst. It was found that most of the N -protected imines are suitable substrates under the mild reaction conditions and are able to give the corresponding adducts in moderate yields with high ee values. The TQO- or LB1-catalyzed aza-MBH reactions of N -protected ,-amidoalkyl phenyl sulfones or ,-amidoalkyl p -tolyl sulfones with MVK could be well conducted, which provides a facile and direct route to obtain highly enantioselective aza-MBH adducts. The Boc protecting group of the aza-MBH product could be easily removed under acidic conditions to give the corresponding ,-methylene-,-amino ketone or ,-methylene-,-amino alcohol derivatives in good yields.

Reductive-Cyclization-Mediated Synthesis of Fused Polycyclic Quinolines from Baylis,Hillman Adducts of Acrylonitrile: Scope and Limitations,,

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 20 2009
Virender Singh
Abstract The synthesis of a variety of polycyclic quinolines is described. The target molecules were obtained in two steps by an initial reductive cyclization followed by another intramolecular cyclization in the allylamines afforded from either the acetates or allyl bromides of Baylis,Hillman adducts of 2-nitrobenzaldehydes and acrylonitrile. The two steps proceeded in one-pot for those substrates in which a formyl or hydroxy group reacted with the amino group of the 2-aminoquinoline in the second intramolecular cyclization. In contrast, a basic medium was necessary for the second intramolecular cyclization reaction in substrates in which an alkoxycarbonyl group and the amino group participated.

Mapping the Mechanism of Nickel-Ferrophite Catalysed Methylation of Baylis,Hillman-Derived SN2, Electrophiles

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 6 2009
Andrew Novak
Abstract Enantioselective Ni-catalysed methylation of Baylis,Hillman-derived allylic electrophiles in the presence of ferrophite ligands has been investigated computationally and experimentally. The sense and degree of enantioselectivity attained is independent of both the leaving group and the isomeric structure of the initial allylic halide. DFT studies support the selective formation of a limited number of energetically favoured anti and syn ,-allyl intermediates. The observed regio- and enantioselectivity can be rationalised based on the energetics of these structures. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009) [source]


Straightforward Strategy for the Stereoselective Synthesis of Spiro-Fused (C-5)Isoxazolino- or (C-3)Pyrazolino-(C-3)quinolin-2-ones from Baylis,Hillman Adducts by 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition and Reductive Cyclization,

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 32 2008
Virender Singh
Abstract A straightforward and general approach for the stereoselective synthesis of spiro-fused (C-5)isoxazolino- or (C-3)pyrazolino-(C-3)quinolin-2-ones from the adducts offorded from the Baylis,Hillman reaction of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde and ethyl acrylate by sequential 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and reductive cyclization is presented. It was found that the reductive cyclization of the isoxazoline derivatives proceeded efficiently in the presence of In/HCl, whereas similar reductions of pyrazolines gave better yields when carried out in the presence of an Fe/AcOH mixture. However, similar attempts employing the Baylis,Hillman adduct of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde and methyl vinyl ketone did not yield the desired compounds.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Synthesis of Substituted 1H - and 3H -1-Benzazepines and Rearrangement of Alkyl 1H -1-Benzazepine-2-carboxylates into Isoquinolines,

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 18 2007
Vijay Singh
Abstract The SnCl2 -mediated reduction of nitro groups in 2-nitro-4-(2-nitrobenzylidene)alkanoates and 4-nitro-2-(2-nitroalkylidene)alkanoates allows the facile synthesis of substituted 1H -1-benzazepines and 3H -1-benzazepines. This reaction proceeds via SN2, reaction of ethyl nitroacetate and nitroethane with the acetyl derivatives of Baylis,Hillman adducts deriving from 2-nitro-substituted benzaldehydes. During the study, an unprecedented rearrangement of an alkyl 1H -benzazepine-2-carboxylate to a substituted isoquinoline has been observed. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The First Enantioselective Halo Aldol Reaction of Ethyl Propiolate and Aldehydes

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 15 2004
Dianjun Chen
Abstract The first enantioselective halo aldol reaction of ethyl propiolate with aldehydes has been established by using Jacobsen's chiral cyclohexylsalen ligand. The reaction was conducted at ,20 °C in dichloromethane with Et2AlI as the source of halogen and Lewis acid promoter. Excellent geometric selectivity (only the Z isomer) has been achieved for all 14 examples examined. The reaction works well with aromatic aldehydes; it also works with aliphatic aldehydes and ,,,-unsaturated aldehydes, albeit with diminished yields and ee. This method provides the first enantioselective synthesis of ,-iodo Morita,Baylis,Hillman (MBH) esters. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004) [source]

Biswanath Das
Abstract Treatment of Baylis,Hillman adducts 1 with bromo(dimethyl)sulfonium bromide, Br(Me2)S+Br,, in MeCN was found to stereoselectively afford (Z)- and (E)-allyl bromides 2. The reaction is rapid at room temperature, high-yielding, and highly stereoselective. [source]


Synthesis of cis-Hedione® and Methyl Jasmonate via Cascade Baylis,Hillman Reaction and Claisen Ortho Ester Rearrangement

HELVETICA CHIMICA ACTA, Issue 12 2005
Christian Chapuis
The exocyclically unsaturated conjugated keto esters 10, obtained via a Claisen ortho ester rearrangement of the allylic hydroxy ketones 9, were either directly hydrogenated or partially isomerized into the endocyclically unsaturated tetrasubstituted didehydrojasmonoid intermediates 14, prior to a more selective hydrogenation with Pd/C in cyclohexane to the disubstituted oxocyclopentaneacetates 15 (Scheme,2). The key intermediates 9 were obtained either by a four-step sequence, including acetal protection/deprotection from enone 1, in the specific case of hydroxy ketone 9a (Scheme,1), or more directly and generally by a Baylis,Hillman reaction from cyclopent-2-en-1-one (16) and the appropriate aldehydes 17 (Scheme,2). The judicious choice of these aldehydes opens versatile modifications for the stereoselective introduction of the partially cis - or epimerized trans -C(2) jasmonoid side chain, while the Baylis,Hillman reaction, catalyzed by chiral [1,1,-binaphthalene]-2,2,-diols (BINOLs) 19 (Scheme,3), may be efficiently conducted in a one-pot cascade fashion including the ortho ester Claisen rearrangement.

A General Approach to the Synthesis of ,2 -Amino Acid Derivatives via Highly Efficient Catalytic Asymmetric Hydrogenation of ,-Aminomethylacrylates

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 9 2010
Yujuan Guo
Abstract A new strategy was developed for the synthesis of a valuable class of ,-aminomethylacrylates via the Baylis,Hillman reaction of different aldehydes with methyl acrylate followed by acetylation of the resulting allylic alcohols and SN2,-type amination of the allylic acetates. Asymmetric hydrogenation of these diverse olefinic precursors using rhodium(Et-Duphos) catalysts provided the corresponding ,2 -amino acid derivatives with excellent enantioselectivities and exceedingly high reactivities (up to >99.5% ee and S/C=10,000). The first hydrogenation of (Z)-configurated substrates was studied for the synthesis of ,2 -amino acid derivatives. The high influence of the substrate geometry and steric hindrance on the reactivity and enantioselectivity was also disclosed for this reaction. This protocol provides a highly practical, facile and scalable method for the preparation of optically pure ,2 -amino acids and their derivatives under mild reaction conditions. [source]

Nacim Abermil
Abstract The bifunctional catalyst 6,-deoxy-6,-acylamino-,-isocupreidine (1) served both as a base to trigger the in situ generation of N -sulfonylimine from readily available ,-amidosulfones and as a chiral nucleophile to initiate the enantioselective aza-Morita,Baylis,Hillman (aza-MBH) reaction. ,-Methylene-,-amino-,-alkyl carbonyl compounds, difficultly accessible previously, can now be synthesized in excellent yields and enantioselectivities.

Abstract An unprecedented copper-catalyzed intramolecular amidation of substituted 4-iodopyrazoles generated either via Baylis,Hillman or Horner,Wadsworth,Emmons chemistry for the synthesis of pyrazolo[4,3- b]pyridine-5-ones is described. In addition, the effect of the stereochemistry of the acrylamide on the cross-coupling reaction has been investigated and it is demonstrated that only the Z-isomer is favoured to undergo the intramolecular cyclization.

Cyclic Enones as Substrates in the Morita,Baylis,Hillman Reaction: Surfactant Interactions, Scope and Scalability with an Emphasis on Formaldehyde

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 7-8 2009
Brett
Abstract Traditionally, cyclic enones and formalin are reactants notorious for displaying problematic behaviour (i.e., poor solubility and low yields) under Morita,Baylis,Hillman (MBH) reaction conditions. The body of research presented herein focuses on the use of surfactants in water as a solvent medium that offers a resolution to many of the issues associated with the MBH reaction. Reaction scope, scalability and small angle X-ray scattering have been studied to assist with the understanding of the reaction mechanism and industrial application. A comparison against known literature methods for reaction scale-up is also discussed. [source]


Enantioselective Trifunctional Organocatalysts for Rate- Enhanced Aza-Morita,Baylis,Hillman Reactions at Room Temperature

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 3 2009
Jean-Marc Garnier
Abstract A Brųnsted acid-activated trifunctional organocatalyst, based on the BINAP scaffold, was used for the first time to catalyze aza-Morita-Baylis,Hillman reactions between N -tosylimines and methyl vinyl ketone with fast reaction rates and good enantioselectivity at room temperature. This trifunctional catalyst, containing a Lewis base, a Brųnsted base, and a Brųnsted acid, required acid activation to confer its enantioselectivity and rate improvement for both electron-rich and electron-deficient imine substrates. The role of the amino Lewis base of 1a was investigated and found to be the activity switch in response to an acid additive. The counterion of the acid additive was found to influence not only the excess ratio but also the sense of asymmetric induction. [source]


Dendritic Chiral Phosphine Lewis Bases-Catalyzed Asymmetric Aza-Morita,Baylis,Hillman Reaction of N -Sulfonated Imines with Activated Olefins

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 1 2008
Ying-hao Liu
Abstract A series of polyether dendritic chiral phosphine Lewis bases was synthesized, and successfully applied to the asymmetric aza-Morita,Baylis,Hillman reaction of N -sulfonated imines (N -arylmethylidene-4-methylbenzenesulfonamides) with methyl vinyl ketone (MVK), ethyl vinyl ketone (EVK), and acrolein to give the adducts in good to excellent yields along with up to 97,% ee, which are more effective than our previously reported original chiral phosphine Lewis bases. In addition, the dendrimer-supported chiral phosphine Lewis bases can be easily recovered and reused. [source]


1,3,5-Triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA): A Practical and Versatile Nucleophilic Phosphine Organocatalyst

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 11-12 2007
Xiaofang Tang
Abstract In this paper, the air-stable and readily available 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadmantane (PTA) is reported as a practical and versatile nucleophilic phosphine organocatalyst. Under the mediation of 15,30 mol,% of PTA, various electrophiles like aldehydes and imines readily undergo the Morita,Baylis,Hillman reactions with a variety of activated olefins, giving the corresponding adducts in high yields. In the phosphine-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of 4-substituted 2,3-butadienoates with N -tosylimines, PTA is also proven to be a comparable catalyst as tributylphosphine (PBu3). By systematic comparison with other structurally similar N,P catalysts, it is concluded that the superiority of PTA in the above nucleophilic catalysis is attributable to its comparable nucleophilicity with that of trialkylphosphines. The feasibility to use PTA as an alternative catalyst in place of the air-sensitive trialkylphosphines is also discussed. [source]


Access to Stereodefined Trisubstituted Alkenes via Rhodium-Catalyzed 1,4-Addition of Potassium Trifluoro(organo)- borates to Baylis,Hillman Adducts

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 3 2006
Laure Navarre
Abstract In the presence of a rhodium catalyst, unactivated Baylis,Hillman adducts reacted regioselectively with potassium trifluoro(organo)borates to afford stereodefined trisubstituted alkenes with good yields. This highly efficient reaction (aerobic conditions, low temperature, absence of added phosphane ligand) is believed to proceed via a 1,4-addition/,-hydroxy elimination mechanism. [source]
