NHC–Cu-Catalyzed Addition of Propargylboron Reagents to Phosphinoylimines. Enantioselective Synthesis of Trimethylsilyl-Substituted Homoallenylamides and Application to the Synthesis of S-(−)-Cyclooroidin
摘要:
A catalytic method for the efficient and enantioselective addition of a 1-trimethylsilyl-substituted allene moiety to phosphinoylimines is presented. Transformations are promoted by 5.0 mol % of a copper complex of an N-heterocyclic carbene in the presence of a propargylboron reagent that can be readily prepared in multigram quantities. Within 10 min of reaction, products are obtained in up to 91% yield, 98% allene (vs propargyl) selectivity, and 98:2 enantiomeric ratio. An assortment of aldimines serve as suitable substrates. The phosphinoyl and silyl groups can be removed efficiently and orthogonally. The silylallene moiety may be transformed to versatile derivatives that are difficult to access via nonsilylated allenes. The special features and utility of the approach are highlighted through a succinct enantioselective synthesis of marine alkaloid S-(-)-cyclooroidin.
The present invention is directed to novel fused aryl and heteroaryl bridged indenopyrrolocarbazoles which are useful, inter alia, as therapeutic agents. The invention is also directed to methods for making and using the bridged indenopyrrolocarbazoles.

Cultivation of actinomycete strain CNQ-418, retrieved from a deep ocean sediment sample off the coast of La Jolla, CA, has provided marinopyrroles A F. Sharing just 98% 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with S. sannurensis, the strain likely represents a new Streptomyces species. The metabolites contain an unusual 1,3'-bipyrrole core decorated with several chlorine and bromine substituents and possess marked antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The congested N,C-biaryl bond establishes an axis of chirality that, for marinopyrroles A-E, is configurationally stable at room temperature. Moreover, the natural products are fashioned strictly in the M-configuration. The Paal-Knorr condensation was adapted for the synthesis of the 1,3'-bipyrrole core. Halogenation of this material with N-bromosuccinimide cleanly furnished the 4,4',5,5'-tetrahalogenated core that characterizes this class of marine-derived metabolites.
