[PMID: 39301263 PMCID: PMC11411161 DOI: 10.34133/research.0474] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2024] [Revised: 08/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/26/2024] [Indexed: 09/22/2024]
Abstract
A series of new targets containing 3 chiral elements of central, orientational, and turbo chirality have been designed and synthesized asymmetrically. The absolute configurations and conformations of these types of chirality were concurrently controlled by using chiral sulfonimine auxiliary and unambiguously determined by x-ray diffraction analysis. These targets include alpha unnatural amino acid derivatives, which may play an important role for drug design, discovery, and development. Three propellers of turbo framework are covalently connected to a chiral C(sp3) center via C(sp2)-C(sp3) bonding along with a C-N axis, while one of them is orientated away from the same carbon chiral center. The turbo or propeller chirality is characterized by 2 types of molecular arrangements of propellers, clockwise (PPP) and counterclockwise (MMM), respectively. The turbo stereogenicity was found to depend on the center chirality of sulfonimine auxiliary instead of the chiral C(sp3) center, i.e., (S)- and (R)-sulfinyl centers led to the asymmetric formation of PPP- and MMM-configurations, respectively. Computational studies were conducted on relative energies for rotational barriers of a turbo target along the C-N anchor and the transition pathway between 2 enantiomers meeting our experimental observations. This work is anticipated to have a broad impact on chemical, biomedical, and materials sciences in the future.

Abstract
New chiral targets of orientational chirality have been designed and asymmetrically synthesized by taking advantage of N-sulfinyl imine-directed nucleophilic addition/oxidation, Suzuki-Miyaura, and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. Orientation of single isomers has been selectively controlled by using aryl/alkynyl levers [C(sp2)-C(sp) axis] and tBuSO2- protecting group on nitrogen as proven by X-ray diffraction analysis. The key structural characteristic of resulting orientational products is shown by remote through-space blocking manner. Seventeen examples of multi-step synthesis were obtained with modest to good chemical yields and complete orientational selectivity.

Abstract
A base-assisted dearomative [2 + 1] spiroannulation of p/o-bromophenols with activated olefins (methylenemalonates) to construct various cyclopropyl spirocyclohexadienone skeletons is reported. Furthermore, several other halophenols (X = Cl, I) were also tolerated in this process. Control experiments reveal a dearomative Michael addition of phenols at their halogenated positions to methylenemalonates, followed by intramolecular radical-based SRN1 dehalogenative cyclopropanation. However, according to the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, an SN2 dehalogenative cyclopropanation with the same low activation energy barrier should not be excluded. The utility of this method is showcased by gram-scale syntheses and transformations of the dearomatized products.

Abstract
In this study, the design and asymmetric synthesis of a series of chiral targets of orientational chirality were conducted by taking advantage of N-sulfinylimine-assisted nucleophilic addition and modified Sonogashira catalytic coupling systems. Orientational isomers were controlled completely using alkynyl/alkynyl levers [C(sp)-C(sp) axis] with absolute configuration assignment determined by X-ray structural analysis. The key structural element of the resulting orientational chirality is uniquely characterized by remote through-space blocking. Forty examples of multi-step synthesis were performed, with modest to good yields and excellent orientational selectivity. Several chiral orientational amino targets are attached with scaffolds of natural and medicinal products, showing potential pharmaceutical and medical applications in the future.

Abstract
The development of Pd(II)-catalyzed dearomatization transformation of dibenzoxaborins with alkynes triggered by transmetalation from boron to palladium has been achieved, leading to the synthesis of spirocyclohexadienones, an important skeleton demonstrating potential biomedical utility. The [3 + 2] spiroannulation exhibits remarkable regioselectivity and broad substrate scope under mild reaction conditions. This methodology employs dibenzoxaborin as a substrate to establish the formal dearomatization of 2-phenylphenol, which poses a formidable energy barrier to the destruction of aromaticity.

Abstract
A novel [4 + 1] and [5 + 1] dearomative spiroannulation has been developed by the use of commercial naphthols and phenols with dielectrophiles. Various spirocycles, including spiro[4.5] and spiro[5.5] have been constructed successfully by employing four-atom or five-atom dielectrophilic synthons. This transformation was realized through a sequence of site-selective C-alkylation/dearomative spiroannulation. Moreover, the potential application of this method was exemplified by several further transformation.

Abstract
A dearomatization/spiroannulation process has been successfully achieved between simple halophenols and α,β-unsaturated olefins under mild reaction conditions. This transformation addresses the chemoselectivity issue in the dearomatizative transformation of phenol scaffolds (6π-electron) caused by the SEAr process, enabling the construction of versatile cyclohexadienone frameworks containing contiguous quaternary all-carbon centers in high yields. Further studies have provided valuable insights into the process, revealing that debromination/spiroannulation occurs through the SRN1 pathway.

Abstract
So far, there have been 4 methods to control chirality including the use of chiral auxiliaries, reagents, solvents, and catalysts documented in literature and textbooks. Among them, asymmetric catalysts are normally divided into homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. In this report, we present a new type of asymmetric control-asymmetric catalysis via chiral aggregates that would not belong to the above categories. This new strategy is represented by catalytic asymmetric dihydroxylation reaction of olefins in which chiral ligands are aggregated by taking advantage of typical aggregation-induced emission systems containing tetrahydrofuran and H2O cosolvents. It was proven that the chiral induction can be enhanced from er of 78:22 to 97:3 simply by changing the ratios of these 2 cosolvents. The formation of chiral aggregates of asymmetric dihydroxylation ligands, (DHQD)2PHAL and (DHQ)2PHAL, has been proven by aggregation-induced emission and a new analytical tool-aggregation-induced polarization established by our laboratory. In the meanwhile, chiral aggregates were found to be formed either by adding NaCl into tetrahydrofuran/H2O systems or by increasing concentrations of chiral ligands. The present strategy also showed promising reverse control of enantioselectivity in the Diels-Alder reaction. This work is anticipated to be extended broadly to general catalysis, especially to asymmetric catalysis in the future.

Abstract
Herein, we disclose a novel reorganization/cycloaddition between two imine units catalyzed by In(OTf)3 Lewis acid that differs from the well-known [4 + 2] cycloaddition version via the Povarov reaction. By means of this unprecedented imine chemistry, a collection of synthetically useful dihydroacridines has been synthesized. Notably, the obtained products give rise to a series of structurally novel and fine-tuneable acridinium photocatalysts, offering a heuristic paradigm for synthesis and efficiently facilitating several encouraging dihydrogen coupling reactions.

By utilizing Pd catalyst derived from Pd(OAc)2 and Trost ligand (R,R)-L1, the reaction proceeded smoothly in 1,4-dioxane at room temperature, affording substituted β-naphthalenones in good yields (up to 92%) and enantioselectivity (up to 90% ee). A range of substituted 1-nitro-2-naphthols and MBH adducts were found to be compatible under the optimized conditions. This reaction provides a convenient method for the synthesis of enantioenriched 1-nitro-β-naphthalenone derivatives.

Abstract
Spiroindolizidine oxindoles represent a kind of privileged scaffold in many biologically active natural alkaloids. 2,3-Dihydrobenzofuran derivatives exhibit significant bioactivities in a variety of pharmaceuticals. Herein, we assembled these two privileged fragments into a small molecule via double-dearomative [3 + 2] cycloadditions with pyridinium ylides and 2-nitrobenzofurans. This protocol features remarkable advantages including wide substrate scope, mild condition, high level of diastereoselectivities and yields. Thus, a collection of spiroindolizidine-fused dihydrobenzofurans/indolines were facilely produced efficiently.

Abstract
A new type of chirality, orientational chirality, consisting of a tetrahedron center and a remotely anchored blocker, has been discovered. The key structural element of this chirality is characterized by multiple orientations directed by a through-space functional group. The multi-step synthesis of orientational chiral targets was conducted by taking advantage of asymmetric nucleophilic addition, Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and Sonogashira coupling. An unprecedented catalytic species showing a five-membered ring consisting of C (sp2)-Br-Pd-C (sp2) bonds was isolated during performing Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the species structure and absolute configuration of chiral orientation products. Based on X-ray structures, a model was proposed for the new chirality phenomenon to differentiate the present molecular framework from previous others. DFT computational study presented the relative stability of individual orientatiomers. This discovery would be anticipated to result in a new stereochemistry branch and to have a broad impact on chemical, biomedical, and material sciences in the future.

Abstract
Orientational chirality was discovered and characterized by a C(sp)-C(sp3) axis-anchored chiral center and a remotely anchored blocker. X-ray structural analysis proved that orientatiomers are stabilized by through-space functional groups, making it possible for 1 R- or S-chiral center to exhibit 3 orientational isomers simply by rotating operations. A new model system was proposed, fundamentally different from the traditional Felkin-Ahn-type or Cram-type models. In these traditional models, chiral C(sp3) center and blocking C(sp2) carbons are connected adjacently, and there exist 6 energy barriers during rotating along the C(sp2)-C(sp3) axis. In comparison, the present orientational chirality model shows that a chiral C(sp)-C(sp3) carbon is remotely located from a blocking group. Thus, it is focused on the steric dialog between a chiral C(sp3) center and a remotely anchored functional group. There exist 3 energy barriers for either (R)- or (S)-C(sp)-C(sp3) stereogenicity in the new model. Chiral amide auxiliary was proven to be an excellent chiral auxiliary in controlling rotations of orientatiomers to give complete stereoselectivity. The asymmetric synthesis of individual orientatiomers was conducted via multistep synthesis by taking advantage of the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and Sonogashira coupling reactions. Density functional theory computational study presented optimized conformers and relative energies for individual orientatiomers. This discovery would be anticipated to result in a new stereochemistry topic and have a broad impact on chemical, biomedical, and material sciences in the future.

Abstract
Pd-catalyzed intermolecular asymmetric allylic dearomatization of substituted β-naphthol derivatives with Boc-protected Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adducts was developed. The reaction occurs smoothly in 1,4-dioxane at room temperature in the presence of [Pd(C3H5)Cl]2 (2.5 mol %), (S, Sp)-PHOX ligand (5.5 mol %), and Li2CO3 (1.0 equiv). A series of dearomatized products were afforded in moderate to excellent yields and enantioselectivity (up to 99% yield, 97% ee). Furthermore, the compatibility with gram-scale reaction and mild conditions make the current method synthetically useful.

Abstract
Dearomatic silylation of arene derivatives is an intriguing synthetic target, which represents an elegant extension of Birch reduction and produces silylated cyclohexene derivatives with great potential of further transformation. Herein, we report a systematic study on dearomatic silylation of aryl carbonyl compounds with Mg and the TMSCl/NMP adduct. The protocol displays a wide range of substrate scope, including alkyl aryl ketones, aromatic amides, benzonitriles, tert-butyl benzoates, and even 2,2'-bipyridines. Synthetic utility is demonstrated using the products as versatile substrate in various transformations. The detailed mechanism is presented with both control experimental analyses and theoretical calculations. An unusual five-coordinated silicon dianion intermediate is first proposed and described here. The selectivity is influenced by the relative rates of single electron reductions (the TMSCl/NMP adduct versus the substrate) and the steric effects.

Abstract
Asymmetric synthesis of new atropisomerically multilayered chiral targets has been achieved by taking advantage of the strategy of center-to-multilayer chirality and double Suzuki-Miyaura couplings. Diastereomers were readily separated via flash column chromatography and well characterized. Absolute configuration assignment was determined by X-ray structural analysis. Five enantiomerically pure isomers possessing multilayer chirality were assembled utilizing anchors involving electron-rich aromatic connections. An overall yield of 0.69% of the final target with hydroxyl attachment was achieved over 11 steps from commercially available starting materials.

Abstract
Despite indisputable progress in the development of electrochemical transformations, electrocatalytic annulations for the synthesis of biologically relevant three-dimensional spirocyclic compounds has as of yet not been accomplished. In sharp contrast, herein, we describe the palladaelectro-catalyzed C-H activation/[3 + 2] spiroannulation of alkynes by 1-aryl-2-naphthols. Likewise, a cationic rhodium(iii) catalyst was shown to enable electrooxidative [3 + 2] spiroannulations via formal C(sp3)-H activations. The versatile spiroannulations featured a broad substrate scope, employing electricity as a green oxidant in lieu of stoichiometric chemical oxidants under mild conditions. An array of spirocyclic enones and diverse spiropyrazolones, bearing all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centers were thereby accessed in a user-friendly undivided cell setup, with molecular hydrogen as the sole byproduct.

Abstract
A dearomatization/deiodination/rearomatization strategy for the [3 + 2] cyclization of o-iodophenolic substrates with α,β-unsaturated imines to construct various dihydrobenzofuran-related skeletons has been established. Tolerance to different functional groups has been tested. Mechanistic studies revealed that this domino reaction was possibly realized by the deiodination and tautomerization of the key dearomatized intermediate to generate a free phenolic O radical. Moreover, an anticancer agent 4 and an α-glucosidase inhibitor 5 with high bioactivities were successfully synthesized using this novel protocol.

Abstract
An unprecedented enantioselective synthesis of spiro-γ-lactams via a sequential C-H olefination/asymmetric [4+1] spirocyclization under a simple CoII /chiral spiro phosphoric acid (SPA) binary system is reported. A range of biologically important spiro-γ-lactams are obtained with high levels of enantioselectivity (up to 98 % ee). The concise, asymmetric synthesis of an aldose reductase inhibitor was successfully achieved. Notably, contrast to previous reports that relied on the use of cyclopentadienyl or its derivatives (achiral Cp*, CptBu , or chiral Cpx ) ligated CoIII complexes requiring tedious steps to prepare, cheap and commercially available cobalt(II) acetate tetrahydrate was used as an efficient precatalyst.

Abstract
Herein we report a catalytic asymmetric dearomatization reaction of electron-deficient heteroarenes with α-substituted isocyanoacetates through an interrupted Barton-Zard reaction. A range of optically active pyrrolo[3,4-b]indole derivatives was obtained in good yields (up to 97 %) with high stereoselectivities (up to >20:1 dr and 97 % ee), using a catalytic system consisting of a cinchona-derived amino-phosphine and silver oxide. This reaction features wide substrate scope and mild conditions, and provides a new strategy for developing asymmetric dearomatization reactions.

Abstract
The first asymmetric catalytic approach to multilayer 3D chirality has been achieved by using Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings. New chiral catalysts were designed and screened under various catalytic systems that proved chiral amide-phosphines to be more efficient ligands than other candidates. The multilayer 3D framework was unambiguously determined by X-ray structural analysis showing a parallel pattern of three layers consisting of top, middle and bottom aromatic rings. The X-ray structure of a catalyst complex, dichloride complex of Pd-phosphine amide, was obtained revealing an interesting asymmetric environment nearby the Pd metal center. Three rings of multilayer 3D products can be readily changed by varying aromatic ring-anchored starting materials. The resulting multilayer products displayed strong luminescence under UV irradiation and strong aggregation-induced emission (AIE). In the future, this work would benefit not only the field of asymmetric synthesis but also materials science, in particular polarized organic electronics, optoelectronics and photovoltaics.
