Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024: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
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
An asymmetric conjugate addition of aldehydes with o-azaxylylene intermediates (indol-2-ones) from 3-bromooxindoles has been developed. The use of a novel spiro-pyrrolidine (SPD)-derived bifunctional N-sulfonylated amide catalyst is essential for a highly diastereo- and enantioselective transformation to provide a wide array of enantioenriched C3 quaternary oxindoles with structurally diverse β-aldehyde appendages. Further application of this synthetic methodology enables the construction of the tricyclic cores of akuammiline-type alkaloids.

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.

Abstract
We report herein a tandem reaction of para-quinone methides with TMSCF2Br to construct bromofluoroalkenes in a Z-selective manner. While TMSCF2Br has been documented as the precursor of difluoro carbene, it exhibits another possibility in this transformation, a formal bromofluoro carbene surrogate. The alkenyl bromide unit of the products could directly engage in a variety of transformations.

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
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
Although numerous chiral pyrazolones with a six-membered spirocyclic center at the C4 position have been developed, the asymmetric construction of six-membered oxa-spiropyrazolones is still a challenging task in organic synthesis. Herein, we describe the [4 + 2] annulation of cyclobutanones and pyrazoline-4,5-diones for the efficient synthesis of δ-lactone-fused spiropyrazolone derivatives with generally high yields and good enantioselectivities under mild conditions. The successful scale-up synthesis and further transformation of the final product highlight the practicality and reliability of this reaction.

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
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
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
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).

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
A simple and efficient method for the regioselective thiolation of p-quinone methides with sodium aryl/alkyl sulfinates has been established using an acid/phosphine-induced radical route under transition-metal-free conditions. A broad range of sodium aryl/alkyl sulfinates and p-quinone methides (p-QMs) are compatible for the reaction, giving the expected products with good to excellent yields. Control experiments were also performed to gain insights into the generation mechanism of thiyl radicals and hydrogen-atom transfer process. This protocol provides a safe and feasible way for the formation of carbon-sulfur bonds.

Abstract
The development of the uranyl cation as a powerful photocatalyst is seriously delayed in comparison with the advances in its fundamental and structural chemistry. However, its characteristic high oxidative capability in the excited state ([UO2 ]2+ * (+2.6 V vs. SHE; SHE=standard hydrogen electrode) combined with blue-light absorption (hv=380-500 nm) and a long-lived fluorescence lifetime up to microseconds have reveals that the uranyl cation approaches an ideal photocatalyst for visible-light-driven organic transformations. Described herein is the successful use of uranyl nitrate as a photocatalyst to enable C(sp3 )-H activation and C-C bond formation through hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) under blue-light irradiation. In particular, this operationally simple strategy provides an appropriate approach to the synthesis of diverse and valuable diarylmethane motifs. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations have provided insights into the detailed mechanism of the photoinduced HAT pathway. This research suggests a general platform that could popularize promising uranyl photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Ammonium chloride-mediated trifluoromethylthiolation of p-quinone methides is reported using inexpensive and bench stable AgSCF3 as a nucleophilic trifluoromethylthiolating (-SCF3) reagent. This method is an efficient strategy for the construction of the benzylic C(sp3)-SCF3 bond to synthesize trifluoromethylthio-diarylmethane derivatives by 1,6-conjugate addition/aromatization under mild reaction conditions without any metal catalyst, oxidants, or additives. This is the first report of trifluoromethylthiolation of p-quinone methides. In addition, di-trifluoromethylthiolation of δ-chloro-p-quinone methide and scalability are demonstrated.

Abstract
Chiral aldehyde catalysis is a burgeoning strategy for the catalytic asymmetric α-functionalization of aminomethyl compounds. However, the reaction types are limited and to date include no examples of stereodivergent catalysis. In this work, we disclose two chiral aldehyde-catalysed diastereodivergent reactions: a 1,6-conjugate addition of amino acids to para-quinone methides and a bio-inspired Mannich reaction of pyridinylmethanamines and imines. Both the syn- and anti-products of these two reactions can be obtained in moderate to high yields, diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Four potential reaction models produced by DFT calculations are proposed to explain the observed stereoselective control. Our work shows that chiral aldehyde catalysis based on a reversible imine formation principle is applicable for the α-functionalization of both amino acids and aryl methylamines, and holds potential to promote a range of asymmetric transformations diastereoselectively.

Abstract
The manuscript describes a straightforward functionalization of 2-alkyl-3-furfurals via simple aminocatalytic conjugate addition. The reaction proceeds through the formation of dearomatized dienamine-like intermediate that undergoes 1,6-addition to 4-alkylidene-2,6-dialkylcyclohexa-2,5-dienones. This process can be described as doubly rearomative as it proceeds with the re-formation of both furan and phenyl aromatic moieties. Target products have been obtained in a highly stereoselective manner, providing an interesting example of 2-alkyl-3-furfural functionalization via doubly vinylogous Michael addition. The mechanism of the reaction has been studied by means of computational methods.
