RESUMO

We herein successfully demonstrate the use of chiral isochalcogenoureas as Lewis Base catalysts for a variety of (4+2)-cycloaddition reactions of allenoates and different Michael acceptors. In all cases the same structural key-motive, a dihydropyran with a (Z)-configurated exocyclic double bond could be accessed as the major regio- and diastereoisomer in an enantioselective manner. Furthermore, these chiral dihydropyrans were successfully engaged in different follow-up transformations.

RESUMO

On May 1, 1965, Roald Hoffmann and R. B. Woodward published their second joint communication, Selection Rules for Concerted Cycloaddition Reactions, in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Herein is presented a historical analysis of Woodward and Hoffmann's determination of the mechanism of cycloadditions. This analysis is based on thorough analyses with Roald Hoffmann of his 1964 and 1965 laboratory notebooks and his archived documents and on numerous in-person, video, and email interviews. This historical research pinpoints several seminal moments in chemistry and in the professional career of Hoffmann. For example, now documented is the fact that Woodward and Hoffmann had no anticipation that their collaboration would continue after the publication of their first 1965 communication on electrocyclizations. Also pinpointed is the moment in Hoffmann's professional and intellectual trajectories that he became a full-fledged, equal collaborator with Woodward and Hoffmann's transition from a "calculator" to an "explainer."

RESUMO

Stefano Marcaccini was one of the pioneers in the use of isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions in organic synthesis. Throughout his career at the University of Florence he explored many different faces of isocyanide chemistry, especially those geared towards the synthesis of biologically relevant heterocycles. His work inspired many researchers who contributed to other important developments in the field of multicomponent reactions and created a school of synthetic chemists that continues today. In this manuscript we intend to review the articles on isocyanide multicomponent reactions published by Dr. Marcaccini and analyse their influence on the following works by other researchers. With this, we hope to highlight the immense contribution of Stefano Marcaccini to the development of isocyanide chemistry and modern organic synthesis as well as the influence of his research on future generations. We believe that this review will not only be a well-deserved tribute to the figure of Stefano Marcaccini, but will also serve as a useful inspiration for chemists working in this field.

RESUMO

The reaction mechanism of tthe formation of azomethine ylides from isatins and sarcosine is addressed in the literature in a general manner. This computational study aims to explore the mechanistic steps for this reaction in detail and to assess the reactivity of formed ylide in a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with 7-oxabenzonorbornadiene. For this purpose, density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the M06-2X(SMD,EtOH)/6-31G(d,p) level were employed. The results indicate that CO2 elimination is the rate-determining step, the activation barrier for 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is lower, and the formed ylide will readily react with dipolarophiles. The substitution of isatine with electron-withdrawal groups slightly decreases the activation barrier for ylide formation.

RESUMO

The present review contains a representative sampling of mechanistic studies, which have appeared in the literature in the last 5 years, on 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions, using DFT calculations. Attention is focused on the mechanistic insights into 1,3-dipoles of propargyl/allenyl type and allyl type such as aza-ylides, nitrile oxides and azomethyne ylides and nitrones, respectively. The important role played by various metal-chiral-ligand complexes and the use of chiral eductors in promoting the site-, regio-, diastereo- and enatioselectivity of the reaction are also outlined.

RESUMO

Access to complex three-dimensional molecular architectures via dearomatization of ubiquitous aryl rings is a powerful synthetic tool, which faces, however, an inherent challenge to overcome energetic costs due to the loss of aromatic stabilization energy. Photochemical methods that allow one to populate high-energy states can thus be an ideal strategy to accomplish otherwise prohibitive reaction pathways. We present an original dearomative rearrangement of heteroaryl acryloylallenamides that leads to complex fused tricycles. The visible-light-promoted method occurs under mild conditions and tolerates a variety of functional groups. According to DFT modeling used to rationalize the outcome of the cascade, the reaction involves a sequential [2+2] allene-alkene photocycloaddition, which is followed by a selective retro- [2+2] step that paves the way for the dearomatization of the heteroaryl partner. This scenario is original with respect to the reported photochemical reactivity of similar substrates and thus holds promise for ample future developments.

RESUMO

The investigation of cycloaddition reactions involving acridine-based dipolarophiles revealed distinct regioselectivity patterns influenced mainly by the electronic factor. Specifically, the reactions of methyl-(2E)-3-(acridin-4-yl)-prop-2-enoate and 4-[(1E)-2-phenylethenyl]acridine with unstable benzonitrile N-oxides were studied. For methyl-(2E)-3-(acridin-4-yl)-prop-2-enoate, the formation of two regioisomers favoured the 5-(acridin-4-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1,2-oxazole-4-carboxylates, with remarkable exclusivity in the case of 4-methoxybenzonitrile oxide. Conversely, 4-[(1E)-2-phenylethenyl]acridine displayed reversed regioselectivity, favouring products 4-[3-(substituted phenyl)-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1,2-oxazol-4-yl]acridine. Subsequent hydrolysis of isolated methyl 5-(acridin-4-yl)-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1,2-oxazole-4-carboxylates resulted in the production of carboxylic acids, with nearly complete conversion. During NMR measurements of carboxylic acids in CDCl3, decarboxylation was observed, indicating the formation of a new prochiral carbon centre C-4, further confirmed by a noticeable colour change. Overall, this investigation provides valuable insights into regioselectivity in cycloaddition reactions and subsequent transformations, suggesting potential applications across diverse scientific domains.

RESUMO

Leveraging the unique reactivity profile of donor-acceptor aminocyclopropanes and cyclobutanes allows the preparation of complex nitrogen-substituted molecules. While most reports focus on donor-acceptor strained rings with two geminal carbonyl groups as acceptors, mono carbonyl acceptor systems, despite their synthetic relevance, have been considerably less studied. Herein we describe catalytic annulation reactions ofaminocyclopropane and aminocyclobutane monoesters employing silylium catalysis to activate these less reactive donor-acceptor systems.

RESUMO

The first systematic exploration of the synthesis and reactivity of naphthoquinonynes is described. Routes to two regioisomeric Kobayashi-type naphthoquinonyne precursors have been developed, and the reactivity of the ensuing 6,7- and 5,6-aryne intermediates has been investigated. Remarkably, these studies have revealed that a broad range of cycloadditions, nucleophile additions and difunctionalizations can be achieved while maintaining the integrity of the highly sensitive quinone unit. The methodologies offer a powerful diversity oriented approach to C6 and C7 functionalized naphthoquinones, which are typically challenging to access. From a reactivity viewpoint, the study is significant because it demonstrates that aryne-based functionalizations can be utilized strategically in the presence of highly reactive and directly competing functionality.

RESUMO

Allenoates are versatile building blocks which are primarily activated and controlled using chiral tert. phosphine and tert. amine Lewis bases. We herein report the first example of allenoate activation by using chiral isochalcogenoureas (IChU) for formal (4+2) cycloaddition reactions. Compared to established phosphine and amine catalysis, the use of these easily available Lewis bases enables new stereoselective reaction pathways proceeding with high enantioselectivities, diastereoselectivities, and in good yields. In addition, the factors governing enantioselectivity and the origin of the observed differences compared to other commonly used Lewis bases are explained.

RESUMO

The cycloaddition reaction involving bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) offers a versatile and efficient synthetic platform for producing C(sp3)-rich rigid bridged ring scaffolds, which act as phenyl bioisosteres. However, there is a scarcity of catalytic asymmetric cycloadditions of BCBs to fulfill the need for enantioenriched saturated bicycles in drug design and development. In this study, an efficient synthesis of valuable azabicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes (aza-BCHs) by an enantioselective zinc-catalyzed (3+2) cycloadditions of BCBs with imines is reported. The reaction proceeds effectively with a novel type of BCB that incorporates a 2-acyl imidazole group and a diverse array of alkynyl- and aryl-substituted imines. The target aza-BCHs, which consist of α-chiral amine fragments and two quaternary carbon centers, are efficiently synthesized with up to 94 % and 96.5:3.5 er under mild conditions. Experimental and computational studies reveal that the reaction follows a concerted nucleophilic ring-opening mechanism of BCBs with imines. This mechanism is distinct from previous studies on Lewis acid-catalyzed cycloadditions of BCBs.

RESUMO

Developing fluorogenic probes for simultaneous live cell labeling of multiple targets is crucial for understanding complex cellular events. The emerging [4+1] cycloaddition between tetrazine and isonitriles holds promise as a bioorthogonal tool, yet existing tetrazine probes lack reactivity and fluorogenicity. Here, we present the development of a series of tetrazine-functionalized bioorthogonal probes. By incorporating pyrazole adducts into the fluorophore scaffolds, the post-reacted probes displayed remarkable fluorescence turn-on ratios, up to 3184-fold. Moreover, these modifications are generalizable to various fluorophores, enabling a broad emission range from 473 to 659 nm. Quantum chemical calculations further elucidate the turn-on mechanisms. These probes enable the simultaneous labeling of multiple targets in live cells, without the need for a washing step. Consequently, our findings pave the way for advanced multiplex imaging and detection techniques for cellular studies.

RESUMO

Unexpectedly facile dearomative intramolecular (4+3) cycloadditions of thiophenes with epoxy enolsilanes, providing sulfur-bridged cycloadducts, are reported. A total of fifteen thiophene substrates have been found to undergo (4+3) cycloaddition smoothly to produce endo and exo (4+3) adducts in yields of up to 83 % with moderate to good diastereoselectivity. Complete conservation of enantiomeric purity was observed when the optically enriched epoxide was used. The desulfurizing transformations of the sulfur-bridged skeleton of the cycloadducts provide functionalized 6,7-fused bicyclic frameworks consisting of 1,3-cycloheptadiene subunits. Density functional theory calculations reveal the origins of the facile dearomatization of thiophenes in these (4+3) cycloadditions.

RESUMO

Trifluoromethyl cationic carbyne (CF3 C+ :) possessing dual carbene-carbocation behavior emulated as trifluoromethyl metal-carbynoid (CF3 C+ =M) has not been explored yet, and its reaction characteristics are unknown. Herein, a novel α-diazotrifluoroethyl sulfonium salt was prepared and used in Rh-catalyzed three-component [2+1+2] cycloadditions for the first time with commercially available N-fused heteroarenes and nitriles, yielding a series of imidazo[1,5-a] N-heterocycles that are of interest in medicinal chemistry, in which the insertion of trifluoromethyl Rh-carbynoid (CF3 C+ =Rh) into C=N bonds of N-fused heteroarenes was involved. This strategy demonstrates synthetic applications in late-stage modification of pharmaceuticals, construction of CD3 -containing N-heterocycles, gram-scale experiments, and synthesis of phosphodiesterase 10A inhibitor analog. These highly valuable and modifiable imidazo[1,5-a] N-heterocycles exhibit good antitumor activity in vitro, thus demonstrating their potential applications in medicinal chemistry.

RESUMO

The rapid assembly of valuable cyclic amine architectures in a single step from simple precursors has been recognized as an ideal platform in term of efficiency and sustainability. Although a vast number of studies regarding cyclic amine synthesis has been reported, new synthetic disconnection approaches are still high in demand. Herein, we report a catalytic radical-polar crossover cycloaddition to cyclic amine synthesis triggered from primary sulfonamide under photoredox condition. This newly developed disconnection, comparable to established synthetic approaches, will allow to construct ß, ß-disubstituted cyclic amine and ß-monosubstituted cyclic amine derivatives efficiently. This study highlights the unique utility of primary sulfonamide as a bifunctional reagent, which acts as a radical precursor and a nucleophile. The open-shell methodology demonstrates broad tolerance to various functional groups, drug derivatives and natural products in an economically and sustainable fashion.

RESUMO

Chemical reactions conducted in the solid phase (specifically, crystalline) are much less numerous than solution reactions, primarily due to reduced motion, flexibility, and reactivity. The main advantage of crystalline-state transformations is that reactant molecules can be designed to self-assemble into specific spatial arrangements, often leading to high control over product regiochemistry and/or stereochemistry. In crystalline-phase transformations, typically only one type of reaction occurs, and a sacrificial template molecule is frequently used to facilitate self-assembly, similar to a catalyst or enzyme. Here, we demonstrate the first system designed to undergo two chemically unique and orthogonal cycloaddition reactions simultaneously within a single crystalline solid. Well-controlled supramolecular self-assembly of two molecules containing different reactive moieties affords orthogonal reactivity without use of a sacrificial template. Using only UV light, the simultaneous [2+2] and [4+4] cycloadditions are achieved regiospecifically, stereospecifically, and products are obtained in high yield, whereas a simultaneous solution-state reaction affords a mixture of isomers in low yield. Application of dually-reactive systems toward (supra)molecular solar thermal storage materials is also discussed. This work demonstrates fundamental chemical approaches for orthogonal reactivity in the crystalline state and highlights the complexity and reversibility that can be achieved with supramolecular design.

RESUMO

While azides do not react with simple alkenes except under harsh conditions, a diboron alkene analogue, the doubly cyclic alkyl(amino)carbene (CAAC)-stabilized dicyanodiborene 1, reacts spontaneously with organic azides (7-10 equiv.) at room temperature to yield two equivalents of stable CAAC-imino(cyano)boranes (2-R). NMR-spectroscopic monitoring of the reaction mixtures shows the initial formation of a 1 : 1 mixture of 2-R and a relatively long-lived intermediate (Int), which in the presence of excess azide is converted into a second equivalent of 2-R. In the absence of excess azide, however, Int decomposes to 3, the product of an intramolecular C-H activation by a putative dicoordinate borylene intermediate "(CAAC)B(CN)". Mechanistic insights from trapping experiments, NMR-spectroscopic and high-resolution mass spectrometry data, as well as DFT computations reveal that Int is the terminal borylene end-on-dinitrogen adduct [(CAAC)B(CN)(η1-N2)]. The formation of the iminoboranes 2-R from diborene 1 and RN3 proceeds via an azide-diborene Huisgen-type [3+2] cycloaddition reaction, followed by a retro-[3+2] cycloaddition, yielding 2-R and [(CAAC)B(CN)(η1-N2)]. The latter then undergoes either N2 extrusion and intramolecular C-H activation to generate 3, or a Staudinger-type reaction with a second equivalent of azide to generate a second equivalent of the iminoborane 2-R.

RESUMO

Developing novel catalysts with potent activity is of great importance in organocatalysis. In this study, we designed and prepared a new class of benzotetramisole Lewis base catalysts (AxBTM) that have both central and axial chirality. This unique feature of these catalysts results in a three-dimensional microenvironment with multi-layers of chirality. The performance of the developed catalysts was tested in a series of cycloaddition reactions. These included the AxBTM-catalyzed (2+2) cycloaddition between α-fluoro-α-aryl anhydride with imines or oxindoles, and the sequential gold/AxBTM-catalyzed (4+2) cycloaddition of enynamides with pentafluorophenyl esters. The interplay between axial and central chirality had a collaborative effect in regulating the stereochemistry in these cycloadditions, leading to high levels of stereoselectivity that would otherwise be challenging to achieve using conventional BTM catalysts. However, the (2+2) and (4+2) cycloadditions have different predilections for axial and central chirality combinations.

RESUMO

The regioselective functionalization of fullerenes holds significant promise for applications in the fields of medicinal chemistry, materials science, and photovoltaics. In this study, we investigate the regioselectivity of the rhodium(I)-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions between diynes and C70 as a novel procedure for generating C70 bis(fulleroid) derivatives. The aim is to shed light on the regioselectivity of the process through both experimental and computational approaches. In addition, the photooxidation of one of the C-C double bonds in the synthesized bis(fulleroids) affords open-cage C70 derivatives having a 12-membered ring opening.
