RESUMO
Linearly fused polycyclic piperidines represent common substructures in natural products and biologically active small molecules. We have devised a Pd-catalyzed annulation strategy to these compounds that converts readily available 2-tetralones and indanones into these scaffolds with the potential for control of both enantio- and diastereoselectivity. Importantly, these compounds can be chemoselectively functionalized, providing an efficient and robust methodology to these important nitrogen-containing molecules.
RESUMO
A manganese-catalyzed electrochemical deconstructive chlorination of cycloalkanols has been developed. This electrochemical method provides access to alkoxy radicals from alcohols and exhibits a broad substrate scope, with various cyclopropanols and cyclobutanols converted into synthetically useful ß- and γ-chlorinated ketones (40 examples). Furthermore, the combination of recirculating flow electrochemistry and continuous inline purification was employed to access products on a gram scale.
RESUMO
Pd catalysis provides a convenient method for the generation of zwitterionic intermediates that offer significant opportunities for the synthesis of functionalized heterocycles. The combination of electrophilic π-allyl Pd fragments and C-, N- and O-centered nucleophiles allows these intermediates to react with readily available substrates to furnish a range of high value products with control of chemo-, regio- and stereo-selectivity.
RESUMO
A readily available cyclic carbamate 1 functions as a general precursor to a range of functionalized piperidine products via a new Pd-catalyzed annulation strategy. An asymmetric catalytic variant provides a rapid and efficient means to access these heterocycles with high to excellent levels of enantiocontrol. Finally, these richly functionalized compounds are amenable to further chemoselective elaboration.
