- Enantioselective Addition of Alkynyl Esters and Ethers to Aldehydes Catalyzed by a Cyclopropyl Amino Alcohol Based Zinc Catalyst
-
A novel and highly enantioselective synthesis of hydroxyalkynyl esters and ethers through the asymmetric addition of alkynyl esters or ethers to aldehydes promoted by a cyclopropyl amino alcohol based zinc catalyst has been developed. The method afforded a library of new enantioenriched hydroxyalkynol esters and ethers (up to 93percent yield; 95percent ee), and it was compatible with a broad range of functional groups. Moreover, it could be used in the synthesis of carbon-chain-elongated enantioenriched hydroxyalkynol esters and (2 R,5 R)-musclide-A1, a cardiotonic potentiating principle from musk.

- Synthesis of a Mechanically Planar Chiral Rotaxane Ligand for Enantioselective Catalysis
-
Rotaxanes are interlocked molecules in which a molecular ring is trapped on a dumbbell-shaped axle because of its inability to escape over the bulky end groups, resulting in a so-called mechanical bond. Interlocked molecules have mainly been studied as components of molecular machines, but the crowded, flexible environment created by threading one molecule through another has also been explored in catalysis and sensing. However, so far, the applications of one of the most intriguing properties of interlocked molecules, their ability to display stereogenic units that do not rely on the stereochemistry of their covalent subunits, termed “mechanical chirality,” have yet to be properly explored, and prototypical demonstration of the applications of mechanically chiral rotaxanes remain scarce. Here, we describe a mechanically planar chiral rotaxane-based Au complex that mediates a cyclopropanation reaction with stereoselectivities that are comparable with the best conventional covalent catalyst reported for this reaction. Molecules that exist in non-identical mirror image forms are referred to as chiral. Chirality can arise because of various molecular features in which atoms are held in fixed orientations that are themselves chiral, and typically such “stereogenic units” are maintained by direct bonds between atoms. Molecular chirality can also arise by threading a dumbbell-shaped molecule through a molecular ring to generate a rotaxane. However, these molecules have not been investigated significantly because until recently they were extremely hard to make in one mirror image form. Here, we report the first example of a catalyst based on such a “mechanically chiral” rotaxane. Catalysis with chiral molecules is extremely important in modern chemistry because it is one of the most efficient ways to make chiral molecules for applications in healthcare and other areas. Our results demonstrate that mechanically chiral molecules are a promising and underexplored platform for generating such catalysts. We report an enantioselective catalyst based on a “mechanically chiral” rotaxane. Catalysis with chiral molecules is extremely important in modern chemistry because it is one of the most efficient ways to make chiral molecules for applications in many areas. Our results demonstrate, for the first time, that mechanically chiral molecules are a promising and underexplored platform for generating such catalysts. We achieve enantioselectivities for the AuI-catalyzed Ohe-Uemura cyclopropanation of benzoate esters comparable to previously reported covalent catalysts.

- Fluoride-Catalyzed Esterification of Amides
-
In recent years, it has been demonstrated that amide carbon–nitrogen bonds can be activated and selectively cleaved using transition metal catalysts. However, these methodologies have been restricted to specific amides; a one-to-one relationship exists between the catalytic system and the amides and also uses large amounts of transition-metal catalysts and ligands. Hence, we now report a general strategy for esterification of common amides using fluoride as a catalyst. This method shows high functional group tolerance, and notably it requires only a slight excess of the alcohol nucleophile, which is a rare case in transition-metal-free amide transformations. Moreover, this approach may provide a new understanding for further studies on esterification of amides and is expected to stimulate the development of alternative methods for direct functionalization of amides.

- Palladium-Catalyzed [2+1] Cycloadditions Affording Vinylidenecyclopropanes as Precursors of 7-Membered Carbocycles
-
Palladium(II) acetate in association with secondary phosphine oxides provides an efficient catalytic system for [2+1] cycloadditions starting from oxanorbornene derivatives and tertiary propargyl esters giving rise to vinylidenecyclopropanes. This reaction is specific to bidentate phosphinito-phosphinous acid ligands generated from secondary phosphine oxides. The [2+1] cycloaddition was found broad in scope with a high tolerance to various functional groups. Moreover, vinylidenecyclopropanes were straightforwardly converted into oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-ene derivatives through a palladium-catalyzed ring-expansion. Finally, the oxa bridge cleavage of oxatricyclic compounds yields functionalized 7-membered carbocycles.

- A flexible approach to Pd-catalyzed carbonylations via aroyl dimethylaminopyridinium salts
-
4-Dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) is shown to undergo Pd/PtBu3 catalyzed coupling with aryl halides and carbon monoxide to form electrophilic aroyl-DMAP salts. The reaction is easily scalable to prepare multigram quantities with low catalyst loadings, while the precipitation of these salts as they form leads to products with low impurities. These reagents rapidly react with a variety of nucleophiles, including those that contain potentially incompatible functional groups under standard carbonylative conditions.

- Gold-catalyzed formal [3 + 3] and [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions of nitrosobenzenes with alkenylgold carbenoids
-
We report two new formal cycloaddition reactions between nitrosobenzenes and alkenylgold carbenoids. We obtained quinoline oxides 3 in satisfactory yields from the gold-catalyzed [3 + 3]-cycloadditions between nitrosobenzenes and alkenyldiazo esters 1. For propargyl esters 5, its resulting gold carbenes react with nitrosobenzene to give alkenylimine 8, followed by a [4 + 2]-cycloaddition with nitrosobenzene.

- DBU-CH3I, a potential substitute for CH2N2 in the preparation of methyl esters and methyl aryl ethers: Studies with assorted acids
-
DBU-CH3I has been poised to be a substitute for diazomethane in the preparation of methyl esters from carboxylic acids. The reactions can be carried out in commercial untreated acetone and acetonitrile, which have been exemplified with several methyl esters, otherwise it is difficult to prepare. Bis-esterification using diiodomethane can also be achieved in a similar fashion. Sufficiently acidic phenols are also conveniently O-methylated by the method. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

- A convenient, general synthesis of 1,1-dimethylallyl esters as protecting groups for carboxylic acids
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Carboxylic acids were converted in high yield to their 1,1-dimethylallyl (DMA) esters in two steps. Palladium-catalyzed deprotection of DMA esters was shown to be compatible with tert-butyl, benzyl, and Fmoc protecting groups, and Fmoc deprotection could be carried out selectively in the presence of DMA esters. DMA esters were also shown to be resistant to nucleophilic attack, suggesting that they will serve as alternatives to tert-butyl esters when acidic deprotection conditions need to be avoided.

- A [3.3]Sigmatropic rearrangement of α,β-unsaturated Fischer chromium carbenes: Synthesis of alkynol and dienol esters
-
A novel [3.3]sigmatropic rearrangement of in situ formed α,β- unsaturated Fischer acyloxy carbenes forming alkynol esters is described. For example, reaction of tetramethylammonium pentacarbonyl(1-oxo-2- butenyl)chromate(1-) (4) with 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride gave 2-methyl-3- butyn-2-yl 4-methoxybenzoate (8) in 32% yield. In addition to the rearrangement products, dienol esters formed by a formal β-hydride elimination-reductive elimination sequence were usually isolated. In the above example, 3-methylbuta-1,3-dien-1-yl 4-methoxybenzoate (9) was obtained (16%) as the side product. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

3-Butine-2-methyl-2-ol reacts with isothiocyanates in the presence of sodium hydride in dimethylformamide to give various products depending on structure of the isothiocyanate residue.Isothiocyanates with the NCS group bound to sp2 carbon atom (phenyl, 4-bromophenyl, and styryl isothiocyanates ) give the respective 1,3-oxazolidine derivatives.If the NCS group is bound to an sp3-hybridized carbon atom (ethyl and benzyl isothiocyanates), derivatives of 1,3-oxathiolane are formed.Acyl isothiocyanates (benzoyl and 3-phenylpropenoyl isothiocyanates) give products of substitution of the NCS group, viz. 1-butine-3-methyl-3-yl benzoate and 3-phenylpropenoic anhydride.
