Unexpected Behavior

Herein, we report a versatile approach for the endocyclic ring-opening of bicyclic vinylcyclopropanes triggered by Heck arylations. Key step for this transformation is a [1,3]-migratory shift of Pd allowing the ring expansion of cyclopropanated pyrroles, piperidines, furans as well as cyclopentadienes to grant access to the corresponding 1,2-dihydropyridines, 2<i>H</i>-pyrans, 2,3-dihydro-1<i>H</i>-azepines and 1,4-cyclohexadienes, respectively. Additionally, <i>gem</i>-disubstituted cyclopropanated furans showed unexpected behavior by giving diastereoselectively asymmetrically substituted dienes. Mechanistic studies and theoretical calculations point towards a facile [1,3]-migratory shift of Pd along the cyclopropane moiety, which can successfully compete with the usual termination step of a Heck reaction via a <i>syn</i>-b-hydride elimination.<br>

Donor Substituent

<p>The torquoselectivity, the inward or outward ring opening of 3-substituted cyclobutenes, is conventionally guided by the donor and/or acceptor ability of the substituent (S). It is typically predicted by estimating the respective ring opening transition state (TS) barriers. While there is no known dissent in regard to the outward rotation of electron-rich substituents from the approaches of TS calculations, the inward rotation was predicted for some electron-accepting substituents and outward for others. To address this divergence in predicting the torquoselectivity, we have used reliable orbital descriptors through natural bond orbital theoretical calculations and demonstrated that (a) interactions <i>n</i><i><sub>S</sub></i>→s*<sub>C3C4</sub> for a lone pair containing substituent, s<sub>S</sub>→s*<sub>C3C4</sub> for a s-donor substituent, s<sub>C3C4</sub>→p*<sub>S</sub> for a resonance-accepting substituent and s<sub>C3C4</sub>→s*<sub>S</sub> for a s-acceptor substituent constitute the true electronic controls of torquoselectivity, and (b) reversibility of the ring opening event is an additional important contributor to the observed product distribution.</p>

Several phosphorus-substituted N-acylated cyanoaziridines 2 and N-carbamoylated cyanoziridines 5 were prepared in good to high yields. N-Acylated cyanoaziridines 2 were used, after ring expansion, in an efficient synthesis of oxazoline derivative 3a and in a completely regio-controlled reaction in the presence of NaI. Conversely, N-carbamoyl cyanoaziridines 5 reacted with NaI to obtain a regioisomeric mixture of 2-aminocyanooxazolines 7. Mild acidic conditions can be used for the isomerization of N-thiocarbamoyl cyanoaziridine 6a into a 2-aminocyanothiazoline derivative 8a by using BF3·OEt2 as a Lewis acid. Likewise, a one pot reaction of NH-cyanoaziridines 1 with isocyanates obtained 2-iminocyanooxazolidines 9 regioselectively. This synthetic methodology involves the addition of isocyanates to starting cyanoaziridines to obtain N-carbamoyl cyanoaziridines 5, which after the ring opening, reacts with a second equivalent of isocyanate to give the final 2-imino cyanooxazolidines 9. In addition, the cytotoxic effect on the cell lines derived from human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) was also screened. 2-Iminooxazolidines 9 exhibited moderate activity against the A549 cell line in vitro. Furthermore, a selectivity towards cancer cells (A549) over non-malignant cells (MCR-5) was detected.

Reaction Proceeds

Bicyclic aziridines undergo formal [3+3] ring expansion reactions when exposed to rhodium-bound vinyl carbenes to form complex dehydropiperidines in a highly stereocontrolled rearrangement. Mechanistic studies and DFT computations indicate the reaction proceeds through the formation of a vinyl aziridinium ylide; this reactive intermediate undergoes a concerted, asynchronous, pseudo-[1,4]- sigmatropic rearrangement to directly furnish the heterocyclic products with net retention at the new C-C bond. In combination with an asymmetric silver-catalyzed aziridination developed in our group, this method quickly delivers enantioenriched scaffolds with up to three contiguous stereocenters. The mild reaction conditions, functional group tolerance, and high stereochemical retention of this method are especially well-suited for appending piperidine motifs to natural product and complex molecules. Ultimately, our work establishes the value of underutilized aziridinium ylides as key intermediates in strategies to convert small, strained rings to larger N-heterocycles.
