On Ni Catalysts for Catalytic, Asymmetric Ni/Cr-Mediated Coupling Reactions
摘要:
The importance of the Ni catalyst in achieving catalytic asymmetric Ni/Cr-mediated coupling reactions effectively is demonstrated. Six phenanthroline-NiCl2 complexes 1a-c and 2a-c and five types of alkenyl iodides A-E were chosen for the study, thereby demonstrating that these Ni catalysts display a wide range of overall reactivity profiles in terms of the degree of asymmetric induction, geometrical isomerization, and coupling rate. For three types of alkenyl iodides A-C, a satisfactory Ni catalyst(s) was found within 1a-c and 2a-c. For disubstituted (Z)-alkenyl iodide D, 2c was identified as an acceptable Ni catalyst: in terms of the absence of Z --> E isomerization and the degree of asymmetric induction but not in terms of the coupling rate. Two phosphine-based Ni catalysts, [(Me)(3)P](2)center dot NiCl2 and [(cy)(3)P](2)center dot NiCl2, were found to meet all three criteria for D. The bond-forming reaction at the C16-C17 position of palytoxin was used to demonstrate the usefulness of the Ni catalysts thus identified.

The present invention provides unified synthesis of the CI -CI 9 building blocks of halichondrins and analogs theoreof using selective coupling of poly-halogenated nucleophiles in chromium-mediated coupling reactions. The present invention also provides a practical and efficient synthesis of C20-C38 building blocks of halichondrins and analogs thereof. Also provided herein are general methods of selective activation and coupling of poly-halogenated analogs with an aldehyde. The provided coupling reactions are selective for halo-enone and halo-acetylenic ketal over vinyl halide and halide attached to a sp hydridized carbon. The provided efficient selective coupling reactions can allow easy access to the CI -CI 9 building blocks and C20-C38 building blocks of halichondrins and analogs thereof with limited or no purification or separation of the intermediates.
