Ring Rearrangement Reactions of 4-Alkenylisocoumarins and Photophysical Evaluation of Multi-Substituted Anthracene Products. Chemistry 2024:e202401965. [PMID: 38865106 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202401965] [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: 05/21/2024] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
Herein we report that readily available 4-alkenylisocoumarins can be regarded as potent dienolate equivalents. For example, lactol silyl ethers derived from 4-alkenylisocoumarins were selectively converted to the corresponding benzo-homophthalates through a fluoride-induced ring opening step that was followed by a ring closure through a vinylogous intramolecular aldol condensation. Likewise, nucleophilic activation of 4-alkenylisocoumarins directly yields diversely poly-substituted naphthalenes and anthracenes without formation of any regioisomer. Photophysical evaluation of a set of thus obtained 1,3-di- and 1,3,4-trisubstituted anthracenes reveals their distinct intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) character during light absorption in polar solutions and excimer emission from the solid state when a face-to-face π-stacked molecular assembly is present in the crystal packing.

Abstract
We report herein the asymmetric total synthesis of periglaucines A-C, N,O-dimethyloxostephine and oxostephabenine. The key strategies used include: 1) a RhI -catalyzed regio- and diastereoselective Hayashi-Miyaura reaction to connect two necessary fragments; 2) an intramolecular photoenolization/Diels-Alder (PEDA) reaction to construct the highly functionalized tricyclic core skeleton bearing a quaternary center; 3) a bio-inspired intramolecular Michael addition and transannular acetalization to generate the aza[4.4.3]propellane and the tetrahydrofuran ring.

Abstract
We herein report the first light-driven selective monoderivatization (desymmetrization) of two chemically equivalent carbonyl groups in a single chromophore. By comparing of four symmetric regioisomers, featuring two equivalent ortho-methylbenzaldehyde units, we identify dimethyltherephtalaldehydes (DMTAs) which can be activated in a dual wavelength-selective fashion. Under visible light and UV-light irradiation, DMTAs undergo two consecutive Diels-Alder reactions exhibiting near-quantitative endo-selectivity (>99%) and provide excellent yields (96-98%). The influence of the regioisomerism of the dialdehydes on their photochemical behavior is profound, evidenced by an in-depth investigation of their photochemical performance. We exemplify the capability of the photosystems via the synthesis of complex Diels-Alder adducts with various dienophiles, including alkynes.

Abstract
The first broad spectrum investigation into the photoenolization/Diels-Alder (PEDA) sequence was carried out using M06-2X/6-31+G(d,p) in conjunction with SMD solvation and supported by experimental UV-vis spectroscopy. A test set of 20 prodienes was chosen to examine the role of the H atom acceptor group (substituted and unsubstituted carbonyl, thiocarbonyl, and imine), the H atom donor group, and bystander ring substituents. As reaction partners for the photogenerated dienes, a diverse test set of 20 dienophiles was examined, comprising electron rich, electron poor, neutral, strain activated, hydrocarbon, and heteroatom-containing molecules including CO2 and CO. A key finding of this work is the demonstration that the PEDA sequence of carbonyl based prodienes is tolerant of most substitution patterns. Another is that thiocarbonyl derivatives should behave analogously to the carbonyls but are likely to do so much more slowly, due to an inefficient intersystem crossing, an endothermic 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) step, and a [1,5] sigmatropic H shift to regenerate the starting material that outcompetes the [4 + 2]cycloaddition. In contrast, the T1 state of the ortho-alkyl imines displays the incorrect orbital symmetry for 1,5-HAT and is correspondingly accompanied by higher barriers, even in the excited state. However, provided these barriers can be overcome, the remaining steps in the PEDA sequence are predicted to be facile. The Diels-Alder reaction is predicted to be of much broader scope than reported synthetic literature: while electron poor dienophiles are expected to be the most reactive partners, ethylene and electron rich alkenes should react at a synthetically useful rate. CO is predicted to undergo a facile (4 + 1)cheletropic addition instead of the normal [4 + 2]cycloaddition pathway. This unique photoenolization/cheletropic addition (PECA) sequence could provide metal-free access to benzannelated cyclopentanones.

Abstract
A diastereo- and enantioselective photoenolization/Mannich (PEM) reaction of ortho-alkyl aromatic ketones with benzosulfonimides was established by utilizing a chiral N,N′-dioxide/Ni(OTf)2 complex as the Lewis acid catalyst. It afforded a series of benzosulfonamides and the corresponding ring-closure products, and a reversal of diastereoselectivity was observed through epimerization of the benzosulfonamide products under continuous irradiation. On the basis of the control experiments, the role of the additive LiNTf2 in achieving high stereoselectivity was elucidated. This PEM reaction was proposed to undergo a direct nucleophilic addition mechanism rather than a hetero-Diels–Alder/ring-opening sequence. A possible transition state model with a photoenolization process was proposed to explain the origin of the high level of stereoinduction. A diastereo- and enantioselective photoenolization/Mannich (PEM) reaction of (2-alkylphenyl) ketones with benzosulfonimides is realized by a chiral N,N′-dioxide/NiII complex catalyst.![]()

Abstract
An asymmetric photoenolization/Diels-Alder (PEDA) reaction between electron-rich 2-methylbenzaldehydes and unsaturated γ-lactones was developed to directly construct the basic tricyclic core of aryltetralin lactone lignans. This methodology enabled the first asymmetric total synthesis of aglacins A, B, and E and revision of the absolute configuration of these natural lignans. The strategy was also used to prepare the naturally occurring aryldihydronaphthalene-type lignans (-)-7,8-dihydroisojusticidin B and (+)-linoxepin in four and six steps, as well as 27 natural-product-like molecules containing a C8' quaternary center. We believe that the synthetic aglacins and small-molecule library provide new opportunities to carry out the SAR studies of the podophyllotoxin family of natural products.

Abstract
Perovskones and hydrangenones are a family of structurally complex triterpenoids that were mainly isolated from the genus Salvia medicinal plants. These isoprenoids exhibit a broad range of biological activities, such as antitumor and antiplasmodial activities. Here, we report the collective total synthesis of perovskone, perovskones C, D, F, hydrangenone, and hydrangenone B. The key strategies in this work include the following: (1) an asymmetric photoenolization/Diels-Alder reaction was developed to construct a tricyclic ring bearing three contiguous quaternary centers, which was used to build the core icetexane skeleton; (2) a bioinspired Diels-Alder reaction of perovskatone D with trans-α-ocimene was applied to stereospecifically generate perovskones; (3) late-stage oxidations and ring forming steps were developed to synthesize perovskones and hydrangenones. Our synthetic work suggests that (1) perovskatone D may serve as the precursor of the biosynthesis of perovskones and (2) the formation of hydrangenone and hydrangenone B, containing a five-membered D ring, may involve an oxidative ring cleavage and ring regeneration process.

Abstract
The asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-xestoquinone and (+)-adociaquinones A and B was achieved in 6–7 steps using an easily accessible meso-cyclohexadienone derivative. The [6,6]-bicyclic decalin B–C ring and the all-carbon quaternary stereocenter at C-6 were prepared via a desymmetric intramolecular Michael reaction with up to 97% ee. The naphthalene diol D–E ring was constructed through a sequence of Ti(Oi-Pr)4-promoted photoenolization/Diels–Alder, dehydration, and aromatization reactions. This asymmetric strategy provides a scalable route to prepare target molecules and their derivatives for further biological studies. The asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-xestoquinone and (+)-adociaquinones A and B was achieved in 6–7 steps using an easily accessible meso-cyclohexadienone derivative.![]()
