Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202401355. [PMID: 38967087 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202401355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
Herein, we describe an innovative approach to the asymmetric electrochemical α-alkylation of aldehydes facilitated by a newly designed bifunctional chiral electrocatalyst. The highly efficient bifunctional chiral electrocatalyst combines a chiral aminocatalyst with a redox mediator. It plays a dual role as a redox mediator for electrooxidation, while simultaneously providing remarkable asymmetric induction for the stereoselective α-alkylation of aldehydes. Additionally, this novel catalyst exhibits enhanced catalytic activity and excellent stereoselective control comparable to conventional catalytic systems. As a result, this strategy provides a new avenue for versatile asymmetric electrochemistry. The electrooxidation of diverse phenols enables the C-H/C-H oxidative α-alkylation of aldehydes in a highly chemo- and stereoselective fashion. Detailed mechanistic studies by control experiments and cyclic voltammetry analysis demonstrate possible reaction pathways and the origin of enantio-induction.

Abstract
Herein we report a transition-metal free, base-mediated 1,6-conjugate addition of aryldiazenes to para-quinone methides (p-QMs). Arylhydrazines were used for the in situ generation of aryldiazenes using a base-mediated protocol in the presence of air as the oxidant. The 1,6-conjugate addition of aryldiazenes to para-quinone methides via a radical mechanism is followed by an oxidative rearrangement to furnish the desired product, arylhydrazones. Interestingly, our synthetic protocol results in the formation of an aryldiazene radical, which undergoes 1,6-conjugate addition with p-QMs to furnish the arylhydrazones.

Abstract
The direct 1,6-nucleophilic difluoromethylation, trifluoromethylation, and difluoroalkylation of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) with Me3SiRf (Rf = CF2H, CF3, CF2CF3, CF2COOEt, and CF2SPh) under mild conditions are described. Although Me3SiCF2H shows lower reactivity than Me3SiCF3, it can react with p-QMs promoted by CsF/18-Crown-6 to give structurally diverse difluoromethyl products in good yields. The products can then be further converted into fluoroalkylated para-quinone methides and α-fluoroalkylated diarylmethanes.

Abstract
Demonstrated here is an asymmetric nucleophilic addition via primary activation of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) based on a chiral phosphoric acid catalytic system. In sharp contrast to previous CPA-based bifunctional activation processes that all required the nucleophiles to have an effective hydrogen bond donor unit (e.g., OH, NH), here no such unit is required in the nucleophile. N-protected indole nucleophiles were successfully utilized for the synthesis of chiral tetraarylmethanes with high efficiency and enantioselectivity under mild conditions. Therefore, this protocol significantly expanded the scope of asymmetric transformations of p-QMs.

Abstract
A simple and efficient method for the ruthenium-catalyzed 1,6-hydroalkylation of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) with ketones via the in situ activation of C(sp3)-H bonds has been disclosed. Without the need for preactivation of the substrates and oxidant, a broad range of p-QMs and ketones are well tolerated, producing the expected 1,6-hydroalkylation products with moderate to good yields. Step-by-step control experiments and DFT calculation were conducted systematically to gain insights for the plausible reaction mechanism. This finding may have potential application in the selective diarylmethylation of ketones at the α-C position in organic synthesis.

Abstract
Organocatalytic methodologies for the derivatization of o-QM, p-QM and the analogous aza-QM have been recently developed and involve different catalytic systems such as phosphoric acids, thioureas, squaramides, NHC carbenes or chiral ammonium salts. Besides, phosphines, commonly used as ligands in metal-catalysed reactions, can be also used as organocatalysts. In this case, they are mainly involved as nucleophilic catalysts in reactions such as the Rauhut-Currier (RC) reaction. In this review, an analysis of the recent developments in racemic and enantioselective phosphine-catalysed transformations of o-QM, p-QM and aza-o-QM has been carried out.

Abstract
A first-of-its-kind enantioselective aromatic Finkelstein reaction is disclosed for the remote desymmetrization of diarylmethanes. The reaction operates through a copper-catalyzed C-I bond-forming event, and high levels of enantioselectivity are achieved through the deployment of a tailored guanidinylated peptide ligand. Strategic use of transition-metal-mediated reactions enables the chemoselective modification of the aryl iodide products; thus, the synthesis of a diverse set of otherwise difficult-to-access diarylmethanes with excellent levels of selectivity is realized from a common intermediate. A mixed experimental/computational analysis of steric parameters and substrate conformations identifies the importance of remote conformational effects as a key to achieving high enantioselectivity in this desymmetrization reaction.

Abstract
Quinone methides are well-established intermediates in asymmetric synthesis. In contrast, their extended analogues with the carbonyl and methide units distributed across two different rings have not been exploited in asymmetric synthesis. Herein, we achieved the first asymmetric process involving such intermediates. Specifically, the use of suitable chiral phosphoric acids enabled in situ generation of 2-naphthoquinone 8-methides and the corresponding aza counterparts for mild one-pot asymmetric nucleophilic addition. These processes provided rapid access to a wide range of previously less accessible remotely chiral naphthols and naphthylamines with both high efficiency and excellent enantioselectivity. Control experiment and DFT calculations provided important insights into the reaction mechanism, which likely involves two phosphoric acid molecules in the enantiodetermining transition states. This work serves as a proof of concept for the exploitation of new types of extended quinone methides as versatile intermediates for asymmetric synthesis, thus providing a new platform for the efficient construction of remote benzylic stereogenic centers of aromatic compounds.

A Pd-catalyzed cascade annulation process comprising C-C bond formation followed by 1,6-conjugate addition for π-extended benzofulvenes is reported. This process is compatible with a wide range of functionalities for both the p-quinone methides and internal alkynes, leading to diverse π-extended benzofulvenes. Additionally, this strategy is also applicable for aryne annulation with p-quinone methides.

KOtBu mediated addition of sulfonylphthalides to p-quinone methides led to the selective synthesis of isochroman-1,4-diones and addition products. Interestingly, isochroman-1,4-diones were obtained via an unprecedented oxidative annulation pathway. The present work highlights a wide variety of substrates, good yields, shorter reaction time and ambient reaction conditions. Furthermore, a few addition products were transformed into functionalized heterocyclic molecules. Additionally, the scale-up experiment suggests the practical feasibility of preparing isochroman-1,4-diones in higher-scale reactions.

Abstract
Selectfluor-promoted vicinal fluorohydroxylation and hydration reaction of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) were described, affording vicinal fluorohydrins and ketone/ether products in high yields. The hydration products were highly controlled by the electronic properties of substituents in the aromatic ring, and simultaneously, the amount of Selectfluor was completely different during the synthesis of ketone/ether products. This reaction also represents the first fluorohydroxylation of p-QMs, and the wide range of p-QMs makes the vicinal fluorohydroxylation of great significance.

Abstract
The synthesis of aniline derivatives, common building blocks in many pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes or polymers, has been limited to reactions based on benzene-toluene-xylene derivatives (BTX) due to their ample availability. Despite the large number of existing methodologies, the synthesis of chiral 4-(sec-alkyl)anilines has not been accomplished so far. In this work, a tandem strategy based on the generation of a reactive aza-p-quinone methide (aza-p-QM) intermediate followed by Cu(I)-catalyzed addition of Grignard reagents has been developed.

Abstract
The unique reactivity of indolyl-substituted p-QMs as a new type of two-carbon synthon has been explored for the first time in a novel iron(III)-catalyzed tandem annulation. This (2+2) annulation/retro-4π electrocyclization/imino-Nazarov cyclization cascade reaction is characterized by an unusual structural reconstruction of indolyl-substituted p-QMs, leading to an expeditious assembly of synthetically important functionalized cyclopenta[b]indoles.

Abstract
Reported herein is a streamlined protocol to produce pyridylated diarylmethanes through pyridine-boryl radical induced reductive coupling between para-quinone methides (p-QMs) and 4-cyanopyridines using bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2 pin2 ) as a templated reagent. The metal-free process is characterized by an operationally simple approach, excellent chemoselectivity (1,2- vs. 1,6-selectivity), and a broad substrate scope with good functional group compatibility. The mechanistic studies provided important insights into the reductive cross-coupling process between diarylmethyl radical and pyridine-boryl radical. Moreover, part of the obtained pyridylated diarylmethane products were screened against a panel of cancer cell lines, and 3 v was confirmed to significantly inhibit the proliferation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells. This method offers a platform for the preparation of new lead compounds with antitumor activity.

Abstract
The addition of α-ketoamide to p-quinone methide initiated by dialkylphosphite in the presence of organic base 1,8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene (DBU) is explored. Coupling of dialkylphosphites to α-ketoamides in the presence of a base follows [1,2]-phospha-Brook rearrangement, generating corresponding α-phosphonyloxy enolates that are subsequently seized by p-quinone methides (p-QMs). The two-step one-pot 1,6-conjugate addition provides effective access to a series of isatin-incorporated phosphate-bearing 1,6-adducts having two vicinal tertiary carbons with up to 90% yield and >20:1 dr.

Abstract
A novel photocatalytic method for the preparation of diarylmethyl silanes was reported through silyl radicals addition strategy to p-QMs (p-quinone methides). This protocol could tolerate a variety of functional groups affording the corresponding silylation products with moderate to excellent yields. The resulting silylation products could be easily converted into a series of bioactive GPR40 agonists and useful p-QMs precursors for the synthesis of compounds possessing both quaternary carbon centers and silicon substituents through simple operation. A plausible mechanism of silyl radicals to p-QMs was proposed on the basis of experimental results and previous literature.

Abstract
Dearomatization of indole is a useful strategy to access indolimines: a motif widely exists in biologically active molecules and natural products. Herein, an efficient method for the dearomatization of 2,3-disubstituted indoles to generate diverse indolimines with tetrasubstituted allenes is described. This work accomplishes dearomatization of 2,3-disubstituted indoles through 1,8-addition of (aza)-para-quinone methides, which are generated in situ from propargylic alcohols. A series of synthetically useful indolimines containing quaternary carbon centers and tetrasubstituted allenes can be accessed in good yields (up to 99%). Additionally, the separability of product isomers, diversified product transformations, and easy scale-up of the reaction demonstrate the potential application of this method.

Abstract
Reactions of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) with α-diazo-β-ketosulfones and their corresponding esters as well as simple β-dicarbonyl compounds and β-ketosulfones have been carried out under basic conditions. While the reaction of diazosulfone with p-QMs afforded trisubstituted olefins via deacylative 1,6-addition and elimination, α-diazo-β-ketoesters and various active methylene compounds such as 1,3-dicarbonyls and β-ketosulfones afforded tetrasubstituted olefins via 1,6-addition and aerial oxidation. These simple, environmentally benign, and mechanistically diverse protocols provided the products in moderate to excellent yields and selectivities.

Abstract
A novel strategy based on Cu-catalyzed (4+1) cascade annulation of terminal alkynes as one-carbon synthons with 2-(tosylmethyl)anilines has been developed for the expeditious synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted indoles, in which in situ generations of aza-o-quinone methides and alkynyl-copper(I) species are involved. This annulation provides an effective method for the assembly of synthetically and structurally interesting 2,3-disubstituted indoles.

Abstract
As a privileged structural motif, tetrahydroquinoline skeletons widely exist in biologically active natural products and pharmaceuticals. In this protocol, a highly diastereoselective [4 + 2] annulation of ortho-tosylaminophenyl-substituted p-QMs and cyanoalkenes to construct tetrahydroquinoline derivatives has been successfully achieved. This strategy proceeds efficiently under mild condition, offering straightforward route to a variety of 4-aryl-substituted tetrahydroquinolines with high yields, excellent diastereoselectivities, broad functional group tolerance as well as gram-scale capacity. Moreover, a one-pot reaction sequence utilizing in situ generated p-QMs under the similar condition to build tetrahydroquinoline framework is smoothly conducted with good reaction performance as well as step and atom economy.

Abstract
A chemical investigation on Sporormiella sp. led to the isolation and structural elucidation of tripodalsporormielones A–C (1–3), a new class of polyketide possessing unprecedented cage-like skeletons with polyvdent bridged and fused ring systems. These polyketides with cage-like skeletons were characterized as a high non-protonated carbon-containing system, which resulted in few HMBC correlations observed and made the accurate structures hard to be obtained by NMR. Especially, some signals of non-protonated sp2 carbons are weak and even unobservable in compound 1. In order to establish the structure of 1, the calculated NMR with DP4 evaluation was applied to determine the structure from the plausible structure candidates obtained from the detailed NMR analysis. Based on NMR experiments and calculated NMR, the structures of isolated compounds were established and confirmed by X-ray technology. Through chiral isolation, the optically pure enantiomers of 1 and 3 were obtained, and their absolute configurations were determined based on ECD quantum chemical calculation. Based on the isolated compounds and our previous work, 1–3 would be derived from 3-methylorcinaldehyde, and their plausible biosynthetic mechanism was proposed. Furthermore, 1 exhibited obvious short-term memory improvement activity on an Alzheimer's disease fly model.

Abstract
The isothiourea-catalyzed enantioselective 1,6-conjugate addition of para-nitrophenyl esters to 2,6-disubstituted para-quinone methides is reported. para-Nitrophenoxide, generated in situ from initial N-acylation of the isothiourea by the para-nitrophenyl ester, is proposed to facilitate catalyst turnover in this transformation. A range of para-nitrophenyl ester products can be isolated, or derivatized in situ by addition of benzylamine to give amides at up to 99% yield. Although low diastereocontrol is observed, the diastereoisomeric ester products are separable and formed with high enantiocontrol (up to 94:6 er).

Abstract
An asymmetric 1,6-conjugate addition to presynthesized δ-aryl-δ-cyano-disubstituted para-quinone methides through bifunctional phosphonium-amide-promoted ion-pair catalysis for acyclic all-carbon quaternary stereocenter construction has been described. Both acyclic and cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyls participate in the asymmetric alkylation reaction, furnishing a wide array of diarylmethanes bearing a single acyclic quaternary carbon stereocenter or vicinal cyclic and acyclic quaternary carbon stereocenters with high efficiency and excellent stereoselectivity. Computational studies elucidate the origin of the enantioselectivity.

Abstract
In the last few years, there has been an explosive growth in the area of para-quinone methide (p-QM) chemistry. This boom is actually due to the unique reactivity pattern of p-QMs, and also their remarkable synthetic applications. In fact, p-QMs serve as synthons for unsymmetrical diaryl- and triarylmethanes, and also for the construction of diverse range of carbocycles and heterocycles. In the last few years, a wide range of structurally complex heterocyclic frameworks could be accessed through the synthetic transformations of structurally modified stable p-QMs. Therefore, the main focus of this review article is to cover the recent advancements in the transition-metal, Lewis acid and base-catalyzed/mediated synthetic transformations of the stable p-quinone methides (p-QMs) to oxygen- and nitrogen-containing heterocycles.

Currently, conventional reductive catalytic methodologies do not guarantee general access to enantioenriched β-branched β-trifluoromethyl α-amino acid derivatives. Herein, a one-pot approach to these important α-amino acids, grounded on the reduction - ring opening of Erlenmeyer-Plöchl azlactones, is presented. The configurations of the two chirality centers of the products are established during each of the two catalytic steps, enabling a stereodivergent process.

Abstract
A new tandem annulation of p-quinone methides (p-QMs) with ynamides is described. This cascade reaction features a unique combination of (2 + 2) annulation, retro-4π electrocyclization, and imino-Nazarov cyclization, wherein vinyl p-quinone methides (p-VQMs) as one of the key intermediates have been identified chemically. Significantly, an unusual structural reconstruction of p-QMs involving the cleavage of the C5-C6 bond and the late-stage formation of the C4-C6 bond is involved, leading to a methodology development for the construction of functionalized aminoindenes.

Abstract
We have reported an efficient and metal-free method for the construction of α-diarylmethine imino sulfanone using acid-catalyzed 1,6-conjugate addition of sulfoximines on para-quinine methides (p-QMs). This method showed broad functional group tolerance and a wide range of substrate scope with good to excellent yield. The excellent protocol exhibits mild reaction conditions with high atom economy. The practicability of the present method was supported by a Gram-scale reaction.

Abstract
An interesting remote δ-C 1,6-addition and an isomerization cascade reaction for phosphine-catalyzed activated alkynes have been disclosed. The products featuring a functional diene and a 1,1-diaryl methyl motif have been obtained in moderate to good yields (30-86%) by applying para-quinone methides (p-QMs) and δ-substituted alkynoate with tributylphosphine (PnBu3) catalysis, along with high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity (dr > 20:1). The wide scope of compatible substrates (35 examples), such as indolyl, oxindolyl, ester, and cinnamyl, expand the utility of this methodology. A plausible mechanism and some applications of it have also been presented.

Abstract
The development of a stereoselective method for the rapid assembly of structurally complex molecules remains fascinating and challenging in synthetic organic chemistry. Here, we report an enantioselective domino reaction between 3-vinylindole and p-quinone methide for the preparation of 3-indolyl cyclopenta[b]indoles containing multiple chiral centers. Chiral imidodiphosphoric acids enable this cascade asymmetric process, delivering a series of products with excellent yields (≤99%), enantioselectivities (≤99%), and diastereoselectivities (≤20:1 dr).

Abstract
A novel Brønsted acid catalyzed 1,8-addition mediated (3 + 4)-annulation of in situ generated propargylic p-quinone methides with 2-indolylmethanols is described. This method provides a convenient and mild approach to structurally interesting and synthetically important polysubstituted indole-fused oxepines in high yields. Moreover, 2-indolylmethanols as four-atom synthons in the (3 + 4)-annulations under Brønsted acid conditions have been explored for the first time.

Abstract
The first asymmetric synthetic approach to biologically relevant 3,3-diphenyloloxindoles was developed using para-quinone methides derived from isatins and phenols. Chiral phosphoric acid efficiently catalyzed the reaction and delivered 3,3-diphenyloloxindoles under mild conditions with up to an equivalent yield and excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee). The chirality was maintained in further synthesis.
