Abstract
The de novo construction of enantioenriched 3-hydroxyindolenines and 3-oxindoles from easily available starting materials has been highly desired. Herein, an enantioselectively intermolecular direct [3 + 2] annulation of aryl amine with 2,3-diketoesters to construct 3-hydroxyindolenines with a chiral tertiary alcohol has been disclosed. The results of control experiments and DFT calculation revealed that π - π interaction plays a pivotal role in the enantioselectivity-determining process of [3 + 2] annulation. The following unusual concerted [1,2]-ester migration provides a family of chiral 3-oxindoles in good to excellent yields with excellent enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Brønsted-base-catalyzed diversified annulations between ethylidene 1,3-indenediones and vinyl 1,2-diketones have been achieved, delivering three types of products containing oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane, spiro[4.5]decane, and branched triquinane skeletons, respectively, which widely exist in natural products and bioactive substances. Two unprecedented reaction modes have been disclosed, and the reactions could be readily scaled up. The protocol shows the potential of 1,2-diketone-mediated reactions in the rapid construction of complicated polycyclic scaffolds.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2402532. [PMID: 38655846 PMCID: PMC11220653 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202402532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
The efficient synthesis of chiral 2,2-disubstituted indolin-3-ones is of great importance due to its significant synthetic and biological applications. However, catalytic enantioselective methods for de novo synthesis of such heterocycles remain scarce. Herein, a novel cyclizative rearrangement of readily available anilines and vicinal diketones for the one-step construction of enantioenriched 2,2-disubstituted indolin-3-ones is presented. The reaction proceeds through a self-sorted [3+2] heteroannulation/regioselective dehydration/1,2-ester shift process. Only chiral phosphoric acid is employed to promote the entire sequence and simplify the manipulation of this protocol. Various common aniline derivatives are successfully applied to asymmetric synthesis as 1,3-binuclephiles for the first time. Remarkably, the observed stereoselectivity is proposed to originate from an amine-directed regio- and enantioselective ortho-Csp2-H addition of the anilines to the ketones. A range of synthetic transformations of the resulting products are demonstrated as well.

[PMID: 38150406 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202317182] [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: 11/12/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023]
Abstract
The 1,2-rearrangement reaction is one of the most important approaches to construct carbon-carbon bonds in organic synthesis. However, the development of catalytic asymmetric 1,2-rearrangements is still far from mature and often suffers from problems such as complex substrates, single product structure, and lack of synthetic application. Multicomponent reaction has been recognized as a robust tool for the synthesis of diverse and tunable products from readily available starting material. Conceptionally and practically, the development of multicomponent asymmetric 1,2-rearrangements is highly desirable. In this regard, we report herein a three-component benzilic acid-type rearrangement of 2,3-diketoesters, aromatic amines and aldehydes for the asymmetric construction of synthetically challenging pyrrolinones bearing aza-quaternary stereocenters. To the best of our knowledge, this reaction represents the first example of organocatalyzed multicomponent asymmetric 1,2-rearrangements.
