Eight N-acetyl-N-aroyl-glycolurils were prepared and found to undergo efficient tert-butoxide-promoted Claisen-like condensation between the two acyl moieties. The kinetics for formation of each of the N-(aroylacetyl)gly coluril products were monitored by UV spectroscopy. The reaction exhibited pseudo-first-order kinetics in substrate in the presence of excess base. For the parent benzoyl compound the observed first-order rate constant (kobs) was linearly dependent on the concentration of the base, tert-butoxide. A Hammett plot of the resulting apparent second-order rate constants (kapp) vs. σ for each of the eight aroyl derivatives was linear and had a positive ρ value 1.04 ± 0.04), demonstrating that the substituent on the aromatic ring exerts a significant effect upon the condensation reaction. The corresponding plot for three [D3]acetyl analogues was also linear, but the slope was reduced by 20% relative to the protonated compounds. The isotope effect (kHapp/kDapp) thus increased from 1.4 (benzoyl) to 2.6 (p-nitrobenzoyl). The results are consistent with a three-step mechanism in which both deprotonation of the acetyl entity and the ensuing nucleophilic attack of the resulting enolate on the benzoyl group are partially rate-determining steps. The tetrahedral intermediate thus produced rapidly collapses to the product. For the [D3]acetyl benzoyl derivative, exchange of substrate deuterium with solvent hydrogen due to reprotonation of the enolate intermediate occurs at a rate that is similar to that of condensation, but the enolate partitions towards the product when electron withdrawing groups are present in the aroyl ring. Thus, despite the presence of a large excess of co-solvent tert-butanol, the efficiency with which the enolate undergoes condensation remains high. The clean kinetics observed allows further exploration of the details of this intramolecular Claisen-like condensation process.Key words: Claisen condensation, glycoluril, kinetics, Hammett, mechanism.
The natural product tetradec-2-enoic acid-4,5-epoxide (2), which is also a component of the antibiotic pramanicin (1), was prepared in racemic form by a glycoluril-template directed approach. Two sequential additions of acetate units to decanoic acid are effected by intramolecular condensations on the template, mimicking the proposed biosynthetic pathway to 1. Cleavage of the grown trans,trans-tetradeca-2,4-dienoyl chain from the template and epoxidation yields 2. The reaction sequence illustrates the applicability of this biomimetic approach to total synthesis of natural products. Keywords: pramanicin, biomimetic, glycoluril, template.
The Claisen-like condensation of a series of 1-arylacetyl-6-acetyl-3,4,7,8-tetramethylglycolurils (Ar = Ph, p-OMeC6H4, and p-ClC6H4) was studied in preparative experiments and by analysis of kinetic data. The reactions proceeded in virtually quantitative yield and were highly regioselective: the corresponding N-(2′-aryl-3′-ketobutanoyl)-3,4,7,8-tetramethylglycolurils were obtained in all cases, with none of the 4′-aryl regioisomers being detected. Clean bimolecular kinetics were observed for each conversion using UV spectroscopy. Reaction rates followed the order Ar = p-OMeC6H4 < Ph < p-ClC6H4. The results are explained by a mechanism in which the deprotonation of the substrates is rate-limiting; thus, deprotonation of the arylacetyl groups is favoured. The ensuing enolate reacts rapidly in the C–C bond-forming step.Key words: glycoluril, biomimetic, Claisen condensation, regioselectivity, kinetics, mechanism, substituent effects.
