Aldol Cyclization

A highly enantioselective asymmetric copper-catalyzed tandem conjugate addition/aldol cyclization of electron-deficient olefins with B2pin2 was developed, which provided a rapid access to indanes bearing three consecutive chiral stereogenic centers.

One of the more powerful routes to enantiomerically-pure carbocycles is the desymmetrization of a prochiral ring. Karl Anker Jørgensen of Aarhus University has found (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 441) that many cyclic β-ketoesters, including the vinylogous carbonate 1, can be homologated with 2 to the corresponding alkyne 3, in high ee. Sanzhong Luo of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, and Jin-Pei Cheng, of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Nankai University, have shown (J. Org. Chem. 2007, 72, 9350) that the catalyst 6 mediated the selective addition of 4-substituted cyclohexanones such as 4 to the nitroalkene 5, establishing three new stereogenic centers. Organocatalysts, alone or complexed with activating metals, have also been used to effect enantioselective ring construction. E. J. Corey of Harvard University has established (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 12686) that the proline-derived complex 10 will mediate the 2 + 2 addition of a cyclic enol ether with an acrylate to give the cyclobutane 11. Further elaboration led to the cyclohexenone 12. Armando Córdova of Stockholm University has described (Tetrahedron Lett. 2007, 48, 5835) a novel route to cyclopentanones such as 16, via tandem conjugate addition/intramolecular alkylation. Professor Jørgensen has reported (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed . 2007, 46 , 9202) the double addition of 18 to the unsaturated aldehyde 17 to give 20. Earlier last year, Yujiro Hayashi of the Tokyo University of Science had shown (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2007, 46, 4922) that the double addition of the inexpensive 21 to 5 could, depending on conditions, be directed selectively to 22, 23, or 24. As illustrated by the conversion of 8 to 13, organocatalysis can be used to effect the enantioselective construction of polycarbocyclic products. The initial ring prepared in enantiomerically-pure form by organocatalysis can also set the chirality of a polycyclic system. Professor Corey has reported (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 10346) that Itsuno-Corey reduction of the prochiral diketone 25 led to the ketone 27. Cyclization followed by oxidation and reduction then delivered estrone methyl ether 28.

Jaesook Yun of Sungkyunkwan University devised (J. Org. Chem. 2009, 74, 4232) a method, based on conjugate addition to a cyano alkyne, for the preparation of nitriles such as 1 with high geometric control. Enantioselective conjugate reduction then delivered the doubly arylated stereogenic center of 2 in high ee. Pher G. Andersson of Uppsala University described (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 8855) a similar approach to diarylated ternary stereogenic centers. Motomu Kanai and Masakatsu Shibasaki of the University of Tokyo developed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 3858) a complementary approach to dialkylated stereogenic centers based on enantioselective conjugate cyanation of α-methylene N-acylpyrroles such as 3. Cathleen M. Crudden of Queen’s University established (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 5024) that a benzylic organoborane, prepared by enantioselective hydroboration of styrene, coupled with an aryl iodide such as 6 in good yield and with > 90% retention of ee. Kwunmin Chen of National Taiwan Normal University devised ( Adv. Synth. Cat. 2009, 351, 1273) an organocatalyst for the enantioselective Michael addition of an α,α,-dialkyl aldehyde such as 9 to a nitroalkene. Wenhu Duan of the East China University of Science and Technology and Wei Wang of the University of New Mexico together developed (Organic Lett. 2009, 11, 2864) an organocatalyst for the enantioselective addition of nitromethane 12 to an unsaturated ketone such as 11. Xiaodong Shi of West Virginia University found (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2009, 48, 1279) that commercial diphenyl prolinol effectively promoted enantioselective conjugate addition of 15 to 14. Enantioselective methods for the construction of alkylated quaternary centers have also been put forward. Kin-ichi Tadano of Keio University devised (Tetrahedron Lett. 2009, 50, 1139) a glucose-derived chiral auxiliary that effectively directed the absolute sense of the alkylation of 17. Li Deng of Brandeis University reported (Tetrahedron 2009, 65, 3139) further details of his elegant Cinchona -mediated conjugate addition of 19 to 20. Francesca Marini of the Università degli Studi di Perugia extended (Adv. Synth. Cat. 2009, 351, 103) this approach to selenones, effecting, over two steps, enantioselective vinylation.

AbstractA diaminomethylenemalononitrile (DMM) organocatalyst was used to efficiently promote asymmetric conjugate addition of various α-cyanoketones to benzoyl acrylonitrile derivatives. The corresponding 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds containing vicinal tertiary and quaternary stereogenic centers are versatile synthetic intermediates and were obtained in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee). The present study describes the first successful examples of asymmetric conjugate addition reactions of α-cyanoketones with benzoyl acrylonitriles. In addition, the DMM organocatalyst can be recovered and reused up to five times without significant loss of either catalytic activity or enantioselectivity.
