Enantioselective Cascade Cyclization/Protodemetalation of Polyenes with N3Pt2+ Catalysts
نویسندگان
چکیده
The combination of the N-based pincer ligand PyBOX with Pt2+ leads to new catalysts for the enantioselective cycloisomerization of dienyl- and trienyl-ols. The mechanistic combination of electrophilic cyclization followed by rapid protodemetalation is surprising and leads to a powerful construct for developing new reactions.

Asymmetric oxidative cation/olefin cyclization of polyenes: evidence for reversible cascade cyclization.
The biosynthesis of cyclic terpenes from polyene precursors by cyclase enzymes is one of nature’s most elegant chemical transformations.[1] The ease with which nature creates complex molecular architectures from achiral precursors has motivated efforts to develop similarly powerful synthetic methodologies.[2] Alimited number of asymmetric methods have been developed,[3] including the notable Br...
متن کاملGold and BINOL-Phosphoric Acid Catalyzed Enantioselective Hydroamination/N-Sulfonyliminium Cyclization Cascade
A highly enantioselective hydroamination/N-sulfonyliminium cyclization cascade is reported using a combination of gold(I) and chiral phosphoric acid catalysts. An initial 5-exo-dig hydroamination and a subsequent phosphoric acid catalyzed cyclization process provide access to complex sulfonamide scaffolds in excellent yield and high enantiocontrol. The method can be extended to lactam derivativ...

The first organocatalytic enantioselective radical polycyclization has been accomplished using singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) catalysis. The presented strategy relies on a selective single-electron oxidation of chiral enamines formed by condensation of polyenals with an imidazolidinone catalyst employing a suitable copper(II) oxidant. The reaction proceeds under mildly acidic conditio...
متن کاملEnantioselective organocatalytic construction of pyrroloindolines by a cascade addition-cyclization strategy: synthesis of (-)-flustramine B.
Pyrroloindoline and bispyrroloindoline are a subclass of alkaloid structural motifs that commonly exhibit biological activity. An enantioselective organocatalytic approach to the synthesis of pyrroloindoline architecture is described. The addition-cyclization of tryptamines with alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes in the presence of imidazolidinone catalysts 1 and 8 provides pyrroloindoline adduct...
متن کاملTerminating platinum-initiated cation-olefin reactions with simple alkenes.
The en masse cyclization of polyolefins into polycyclic terpenoids by cyclase enzymes (e.g. squalene to hopene), is a biosynthetic reaction of particular fascination to chemists. Noteworthy recent additions to synthetic mimics of the cyclase enzymes are asymmetric methods that include Brønsted–Lewis acids (BLA), masked equivalents of Br and I, organocatalysts, and electrophilic metal catalysts....
