RESUMO
The enantioselective construction of a quaternary stereocenter in 2,3-dihydrofuran frameworks has been realized via the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloaddition of tertiary propargylic carbonates with ß-ketoesters enabled by a chiral ferrocene/benzimidazole-based bidentate P,N-ligand. The reaction was significantly promoted by loss of CO2 to irreversibly form π-propargylpalladium or allenylpalladium intermediates. This protocol features a good tolerance of functional groups in both tertiary propargylic carbonates and ß-ketoesters, thereby delivering a variety of highly functionalized chiral 2,3-dihydrofurans bearing a quaternary stereocenter at the 2-position and an exocyclic double bond at the 3-position in good chemical yields and high enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee).
RESUMO
A copper-catalyzed propargylic [3+2] cycloaddition of simple alkynes with ß-ketoesters through the propargylic C(sp3)-H functionalization has been realized. Under catalysis by CuI in combination with 1,10-phenanthroline hydrate as the ligand and Ag2CO3 as a bifunctional reagent (oxidant and base), the reaction proceeds smoothly with a broad substrate scope, thus providing a variety of highly functionalized furans in moderate to high yields. This represents the first successful example of the catalytic propargylic cycloaddition of simple alkynes with bisnucleophiles based on the propargylic C(sp3)-H functionalization strategy.
RESUMO
A copper-catalyzed asymmetric propargylic [3+3] cycloaddition with 1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-ones as C,O-bisnucleophiles through the desilylation-activated strategy has been developed. With the catalysis of Cu(OAc)2·H2O in combination with a chiral tridentate P,N,N-ligand, the reaction displayed a broad substrate scope, and thus provided a variety of chiral dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee).
RESUMO
The first copper-catalyzed asymmetric formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition of o-aminophenol derivatives with propargylic esters as the bis-electrophilic C2 synthons for the stereoselective construction of chiral 2,3,4-trisubstituted 2H-1,4-benzoxazines bearing an exocyclic double bond has been developed. By using a structurally modified chiral ketimine P,N,N-ligand, a wide range of optically active 2H-1,4-benzoxazines were prepared in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee).
RESUMO
A highly enantioselective palladium-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of propargylic esters with ß-ketoesters has been realized by employing a newly developed chiral ferrocene/benzimidazole-based P,N-ligand. This protocol features a good tolerance of functional groups in both propargylic esters and ß-ketoesters, thereby delivering a variety of highly functionalized chiral 2,3-dihydrofurans bearing an exocyclic double bond at the 3-position in good yields and with high enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee).
RESUMO
Two new isoaurones derivatives were obtained from Callistephus chinensis flower. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses. Both of the new compounds were evaluated cytotoxic activity. Phytochemical investigation of Callistephus chinensis flower led to the isolation of two new isoaurones derivatives (Z)-4',4,10-trihydroxy-siamaurone (1) and (E)-4',4,10-trihydroxy-siamaurone (2). The structures of these new compounds were identified by the interpretation of spectroscopic data (mainly 1D and 2D NMR) and by comparison with data reported in the literature. Both of the new compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity.
