Dynamic Ligand Exchange of the Lanthanide Complex Leading to Structural and Functional Transformation: One-Pot Sequential Catalytic Asymmetric Epoxidation-Regioselective Epoxide-Opening Process
摘要:
The characteristic property of the lanthanide complex, which easily undergoes a dynamic ligand exchange and alters its structure and function in situ, is described. After the completion of the catalytic asymmetric epoxidation of various a,beta-unsaturated amides 2 in the presence of the Sm-(S)-BINOL-Ph3As=O (1:1:1) complex 1 (2-10 mol %), the addition of Me3SiN3 directly to the reaction mixture led to smooth epoxide-opening at room temperature, affording the corresponding anti-beta-azido-alpha-hydroxyamide 4 in excellent overall yield (up to 99%) with complete regioselectivity and excellent enantiomeric excess (up to >99%). The key to the success of the sequential process was the in situ generation of the highly reactive samarium azide complex through dynamic ligand exchange. In situ IR spectroscopy and other experiments provided strong evidence that the samariurn azide complex was generated. In addition, the relatively high Lewis basicity of the amide moiety had a key role in the high reactivity of both the epoxidation and the epoxide-opening reactions. Examinations of other nucleophiles such as sulfur or carbon nucleophiles as well as transformations of epoxide-opened products are also described.

The olefination of aldehydes to synthesize unsaturated ketones, esters, amides and phosphonates using diazo reagents and triphenylphosphine in the presence of copper(I) iodide as catalyst, is described. Good to excellent E:Z selectivities as well as yields were obtained for a large variety of aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes. The reaction showed also an excellent functional group compatibility
bearing cyanomethyl, acetamide, and N,N-dimethylacetamide groups were examined for Wittig type reactions. All three reacted to give the corresponding olefins. The reaction of the cyanomethyl reagent with aldehydes gave α,β-unsaturated cyanides with high Z-selectivity in the case of aliphatic aldehydes (Z:E=94:6 to 99:1). On the other hand, the reactions of the two amide reagents with aldehydes yielded
Highly enantioselective catalytic asymmetric epoxidation of α,β-unsaturatedcarboxylic acid imidazolides and simple amides was developed. In the presence of 5–10 mol% of lanthanide–BINOL complexes, the reaction proceeded smoothly with high substrate generality. In particular, in the cases of α,β-unsaturated amides, there was nearly perfect enantioselectivity (>99% ee). The corresponding epoxides were

protocol was developed for the dearomatization of substitutednaphthalenes, indoles, and related heteroaromatic compounds through a radical-polar crossover mechanism induced by single-electron transfer from photoexcited polysulfide anions in the presence of methanol. The catalytic turnover is maintained by hydrogen-atom transfer between polysulfide radical anions and formate.
With the purpose of developing a method of preparing Z-alpha,beta-unsaturated amides, the Peterson reaction of the (triphenylsilyl)acetamide Ph(3)SiGH(2)COX (1, X = NBn2; 3, X = NMe2) with various aldehydes was examined. The reaction of aromatic aldehydes gave selectivities up to > 97:3. It was found that the selectivity was a function of the electronic nature of the aromatic ring and higher Z selectivity was attained with electron-rich aldehydes. With aliphatic aldehydes selectivities up to 92:8 were achieved, and unlike with analogous phosphorus reagents, less sterically hindered aldehydes gave higher Z selectivity. Also, 3, which has a smaller amide group than 1, tended to give rise to higher selectivity. A comparison with the reaction of trimethylsilyl analogues revealed the significance of the phenyl substituents on the silyl group.
