An Enantioselective Aminocatalytic Cascade Reaction Affording Bioactive Hexahydroazulene Scaffolds. Chemistry 2024:e202401156. [PMID: 38564298 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202401156] [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: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
A novel cascade reaction initiated by an enantioselective aminocatalysed 1,3-dipolar [6+4] cycloaddition between catalytically generated trienamines and 3-oxidopyridinium betaines is presented. The [6+4] cycloadduct spontaneously undergoes an intramolecular enamine-mediated aldol, hydrolysis, and E1cb sequence, which ultimately affords a chiral hexahydroazulene framework. In this process, three new C-C bonds and three new stereocenters are formed, enabled by a formal unfolding of the pyridine moiety from the dipolar reagent. The hexahydroazulenes are formed with excellent diastereo-, regio- and periselectivity (>20 : 1), up to 96 % ee, and yields up to 52 %. Synthetic elaborations of this scaffold were performed, providing access to a variety of functionalised hydroazulene compounds, of which some were found to display biological activity in U-2OS osteosarcoma cells in cell painting assays.

Abstract
Herein, we report a photochemical organocatalytic method for the asymmetric introduction of perfluoroalkyl fragments (including the valuable trifluoromethyl moiety) at the remote γ-position of α-branched enals. The chemistry exploits the ability of extended enamines (dienamines) to form photoactive electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes with perfluoroalkyl iodides, which under blue light irradiation generate radicals through an electron transfer mechanism. The use of a chiral organocatalyst, derived from cis-4-hydroxy-l-proline, secures a consistently high stereocontrol while inferring complete site selectivity for the more distal γ position of the dienamines.

Abstract
The first asymmetric total synthesis of the Lycopodium alkaloid senepodine F, which contains a decahydroquinoline ring (AB-ring) and a quinolizidine ring (CD-ring) connected by a methylene tether, has been achieved. The key steps of this synthesis include an organocatalytic asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction, a diastereoselective intramolecular aza-Michael reaction, and an intramolecular SN2 cyclization to construct multisubstituted nitrogen-containing heterocycles. In addition, our total synthesis led to the stereochemical reassignment on the decahydroquinoline ring of senepodine F.

Abstract
Herein, we employ unsaturated pyrazolones in the Rauhut-Currier reaction for the first time. A domino Rauhut-Currier cyclization reaction has been developed between unsaturated pyrazolones and nitro-olefins. The trisubstituted tetrahydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles were obtained in moderate to high yields with excellent diastereoselectivities. A few applications including a synthesis of disubstituted tetrahydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole have been demonstrated. A preliminary catalytic asymmetric version of this process was also studied with chiral DMAP catalysts.

Abstract
2,3-Dihydro-4-pyridone skeleton is an important building block in organic synthesis because it features several reaction sites with nucleophilic or electrophilic properties. Herein, we disclose a method for its formation by intramolecular cyclization of ester-tethered enaminones, which can easily be synthesized from readily available materials, such as amines, activated alkynes, and activated alkenes. 2,3-Dihydro-4-pyridones have been isolated in 41-90% yields. We also demonstrate the transformation of these heterocycles into another important class of compounds, 4-pyridones, by utilizing 2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone (chloranil) as an oxidizing agent. The latter products were isolated in 65-94% yields.
