A Computational Study of the Origin of Stereoinduction in NHC-Catalyzed Annulation Reactions of α,β-Unsaturated Acyl Azoliums.

چکیده
The origin of stereoselectivity of NHC-catalyzed annulation reactions of ynals and stable enols was studied with Density Functional Theory. The data suggest that the C-C bond formation is the stereo-determining step. Only the deprotonated pathway (containing an oxy anion and overall neutral species) was found to give rise to discrimination of the competing stereoisomers. This is due predominantly to electrostatic repulsion of the β-stabilizing enolate functionality with the π-cloud of the aryl group in the NHC-catalyst.

The N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-organocatalyzed enantioselective annulation reaction of pyrazolones with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes proceeding via the chiral α,β-unsaturated acyl azolium intermediates under oxidative conditions is presented. The reaction afforded dihydropyranone-fused pyrazoles in moderate to good yields and good er values under operationally simple and base-free conditions.

The NHC catalysed nucleophilic additions of enols to α,β-unsaturated acyl-azolium intermediates have been investigated using DFT methods at the MPWB1K/6-31G** computational level. In the direct and the conjugate additions, formation of a hydrogen bond (HB) with the carboxyl oxygen is not sufficient to favour the C-C bond formation as a consequence of the low nucleophilic character of enols. Int...

The first enantioselective NHC-catalyzed activation of α-aryl substituted α,β-disubstituted unsaturated aldehyde is successfully developed via a highly-active acyl azolium intermediate. The new C1-symmetric biaryl-saturated imidazolium exhibits a superior ability to enable previously unavailable transformation, and the corresponding fully functionalized dihydropyranones are efficiently synthesi...
