Lam CC, Goodman JM. Reaction dynamics as the missing puzzle piece: the origin of selectivity in oxazaborolidinium ion-catalysed reactions. Chem Sci 2023; 14:12355-12365. [PMID: 37969604 PMCID: PMC10631253 DOI: 10.1039/d3sc03009a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023] Open
Abstract
The selectivity in a group of oxazaborolidinium ion-catalysed reactions between aldehyde and diazo compounds cannot be explained using transition state theory. VRAI-selectivity, developed to predict the outcome of dynamically controlled reactions, can account for both the chemo- and the stereo-selectivity in these reactions, which are controlled by reaction dynamics. Subtle modifications to the substrate or catalyst substituents alter the potential energy surface, leading to changes in predominant reaction pathways and altering the barriers to the major product when reaction dynamics are considered. In addition, this study suggests an explanation for the mysterious inversion of enantioselectivity resulting from the inclusion of an orthoiPrO group in the catalyst.

Abstract
The formal C-C bond insertion into aldehydes is an attractive methodology for the assembly of homologated carbonyl compounds. However, the homologation of aldehydes has been limited to diazo approach and the enantioselective reaction was rarely developed. Herein, we report an asymmetric formal C-C bond insertion into aldehydes through diyne cyclization strategy. In the presence of Cu(I)/SaBOX catalyst, this method leads to the efficient construction of versatile axially chiral naphthylpyrroles in moderate to excellent yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities. This protocol represents a rare example of asymmetric formal C-C bond insertion into aldehydes using non-diazo approach. The combined experimental and computational mechanistic studies reveal the reaction mechanism, origin of regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. Notably, the chiral phosphine ligand derived from synthesized axially chiral skeleton was proven to be applicable to asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
By conducting density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the detailed reaction mechanisms of aldimines with tributyltin cyanide under the catalytic influence of chiral oxazaborolidinium ion (COBI) have been uncovered. Three potential reaction pathways were examined, and two stereoselective routes were determined for the most energetically favorable mechanism. In the primary route, a proton is transferred from the COBI catalyst to the aldimine substrate, which is then followed by the C-C bond formation to produce the final product. Subsequently, NBO analyses of the stereoselectivity-determining transition states were conducted to identify the crucial role of hydrogen bond interactions in controlling stereoselectivity. These computed findings should prove invaluable in comprehending the detailed mechanisms and underlying origins of stereoselectivity for COBI-mediated reactions of this type.

Abstract
Boron Lewis acid catalysis has a long history and has become one of the most powerful methods for organic synthesis. In addition to achiral boron catalysts such as BX3 (X = F, Cl, Br) and B(C6F5)3, chiral boron catalysts are also significant synthetic tools used by organic chemists in academic laboratories and industry. Since first reported by Corey et al. in 2002 ( Corey et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002 , 124 , 3808 ), the chiral oxazaborolidinium ion (COBI), an activated form of proline-derived oxazaborolidine, has been used as a strong Lewis acid catalyst. Although the early examples of asymmetric synthesis through COBI-catalyzed nucleophilic 1,2- or 1,4-carbonyl additions were reported in 2004-2006, Diels-Alder and cycloaddition reactions of various carbonyl compounds were mostly developed over the next several years to afford enantioenriched cyclized products. The power of COBI in catalyzing carbonyl 1,2- or 1,4-addition reactions triggered our interest in developing asymmetric synthetic methodologies to generate versatile enantiomerically enriched compounds. In this Account, we summarize our recent studies on COBI-catalyzed asymmetric nucleophilic carbonyl addition and tandem reactions. Logical mechanistic explanations of asymmetric COBI catalysis are also discussed. The proton-activated COBI catalyst, which can activate various carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, acroleins, and enones through Lewis acid-base interactions and synergistic hydrogen bonds, facilitates asymmetric 1,2- or 1,4-carbonyl additions of nucleophiles. Nucleophiles bearing trialkylsilyl groups successfully reacted with aromatic, aliphatic, and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes through 1,2-addition reactions resulting in chiral β-hydroxy esters. In addition, efficient asymmetric hydrosilylation of ketones was achieved with a TfOH-activated COBI catalyst. Optically active β-keto esters and all-carbon quaternary aldehydes were synthesized successfully through asymmetric 1,2-addition of diazo compounds and tandem H- or C-migration, respectively. In some cases, epoxide products were obtained as side products via the Darzens reaction pathway. Solvent and π-π interactions played important roles in favoring C-migration over H-migration. Nucleophilic 1,4-addition of diazo compounds and chemoselective ring-closure afforded an efficient approach to cyclopropanes, and their tandem rearrangements provided four- and seven-membered cyclic compounds with excellent stereoselectivity. After a Michael addition of diazo compounds, the selective β-hydride shift pathway afforded the β-substituted cyclic enones with high diastereo- and enantioselectivity. The presence of π-bond(s) in the substituents at the α-position of the diazo compound hindered the β-hydride shift pathway and, as a result, favored the cyclopropanation pathway. While there still remain challenges to be overcome, these results further understanding of COBI catalysis and open a window for future development of new asymmetric synthetic methods using carbonyl addition and tandem reactions.

Abstract
The possible mechanisms of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU)-catalyzed chemoselective insertion of N-methyl isatin into aryl difluoronitromethyl ketone to synthesize 3,3-disubstituted and 2,2-disubstituted oxindoles have been studied in this work. As revealed by calculated results, the reaction occurs via two competing paths, including α and β carbonyl paths, and each path contains five steps, that is, nucleophilic addition of DBU to ketone, C-C bond cleavage affording difluoromethylnitrate anion and phenylcarbonyl-DBU cation, nucleophilic addition of difluoromethylnitrate anion to carbonyl carbon of N-methyl isatin, acyl transfer process, and dissociation of DBU and product. The computational results suggest that nucleophilic additions on different carbonyl carbons of N-methyl isatin via α and β carbonyl paths would lead to different products in the third step, and β carbonyl path associated with the main product 3,3-disubstituted oxindole is more energetically favorable, which is consistent with the experimental observations. Noteworthy, electrophilic Parr function can be successfully applied for exactly predicting the activity of reaction site and reasonably explaining the chemoselectivity. In addition, the distortion/interaction and noncovalent interaction analyses show that much more hydrogen bond interactions should be responsible for the lower energy of the transition state associated with β carbonyl path. The obtained insights would be valuable for the rational design of efficient organocatalysts for this kind of reactions with high selectivities.
