  • C-Aryl Glycosylation: Palladium-Catalyzed Aryl–Allyl Coupling of Achmatowicz Rearrangement Products with Arylboronic Acids
    The Journal of organic chemistry, 2020
    Co-Authors: Ming Wai Liaw, Wai Fung Cheng, Rongbiao Tong
    Abstract:

    The first Pd-catalyzed arylation of Achmatowicz Rearrangement products with arylboronic acids under mild conditions (rt) to provide the synthetically versatile C-aryl dihydropyranones is reported. It is found that the 4-keto group of Achmatowicz products is essential to increase the reactivity of the Pd-π-allyl complex toward arylboronic acids and that phosphine as the palladium ligand would be destructive to the reaction. This new coupling method addresses the major limitations of previous Pd-catalyzed allyl-aryl couplings of 2,3-unsaturated glycosides with an aryl Grignard or aryl zinc reagent.

  • Synthesis of 2-Arylpiperidines via Pd-Catalyzed Arylation of Aza-Achmatowicz Rearrangement Products with Arylboronic Acids.
    Organic letters, 2019
    Co-Authors: Guodong Zhao, Daniel P. Canterbury, Alexandria P. Taylor, Xiayun Cheng, Peter Mikochik, Scott W. Bagley, Rongbiao Tong
    Abstract:

    The first Pd-catalyzed arylation of aza-Achmatowicz Rearrangement products with arylboronic acids is achieved, providing versatile 2-aryldihydropyridinones for facile synthesis of highly functionalized 2-arylpiperidines. Key to this arylation is the use of non-phosphine-ligand palladium precatalyst. The substrate scope is demonstrated with >26 examples, and the utility of 2-aryldihydropyridinones is illustrated by the synthesis of a small collection of 2-arylpiperidines with substituents or functional groups at any carbon (C2-C6) as well as two NK1 receptor antagonists (+)-CP-999,94 and (+)-L-733,060.

  • silica gel enables Achmatowicz Rearrangement with kbr oxone under anhydrous condition for one pot functionalization
    Tetrahedron, 2019
    Co-Authors: Guodong Zhao, Rongbiao Tong
    Abstract:

    Abstract Silica gel was found to effectively promote Achmatowicz Rearrangement (AchR) using KBr/oxone under near anhydrous condition. This new protocol allows direct functionalization of AchR products in a one-pot manner, effectively reducing the cost, time, and environmental impacts derived from the conventional stop-and-go approach using separate reaction vessels. These advantages were demonstrated in four types of sequential one-pot reactions: i) AchR-Kishi reduction (and AchR-Ferrier allylation); ii) AchR-acylation-O-glycosylation; iii) AchR-acylation-[5 + 2]-cycloaddition; and iv) AchR-TEMPO oxidation.

  • Asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-attenol B.
    Organic letters, 2015
    Co-Authors: Jingyun Ren, Jian Wang, Rongbiao Tong
    Abstract:

    The more cytotoxic, thermodynamically less stable (+)-attenol B was isolated as a minor isomer of the spiroketal attenol A and synthesized previously as a minor product. Herein, we report a new strategy that for the first time led to asymmetric synthesis of (+)-attenol B as an exclusive product, featuring sequential Achmatowicz Rearrangement/bicycloketalization to efficiently construct the 6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane core. In addition, (−)-attenol A was obtained with 91% yield by isomerization of (+)-attenol B in CDCl3.

  • Asymmetric Total Synthesis of (+)-Didemniserinolipid B via Achmatowicz Rearrangement/Bicycloketalization
    The Journal of organic chemistry, 2014
    Co-Authors: Jingyun Ren, Rongbiao Tong
    Abstract:

    A new synthetic strategy was developed for the asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-didemniserinolipid B in 19 linear steps, featuring a highly efficient and enantioselective construction of 6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane (6,8-DOBCO) framework via a rarely explored Achmatowicz Rearrangement/bicycloketalization strategy. In addition, the first total synthesis of the proposed (+)-didemniserinolipid C was accomplished with 41.6% yield in 4 steps from a common advanced intermediate 18, and a possible revised structure of (+)-didemniserinolipid C was proposed. The new convergent synthetic strategy greatly expedites the entry to the didemniserinolipids and their analogues for biological activity evaluation.

  • Scalable Asymmetric Total Syntheses of (+)-Psoracorylifol B and (+)-ent-Psoracorylifol C
    Organic letters, 2014
    Co-Authors: Jingyun Ren, Liyan Song, Yuan Liu, Rongbiao Tong
    Abstract:

    The first, asymmetric total syntheses of potent antimicrobial Psoracorylifol B (>1.3 g obtained, dr 10.5:1) with a 9.4% overall yield on a gram scale in 14 steps and ent-Psoracorylifol C with a 4.3% yield in 16 steps were achieved. The key features of our synthesis include (i) sequential, rarely explored Achmatowicz Rearrangement/bicycloketalization to construct the 6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane core, and (ii) Cu-mediated SN2′ methylation or Johnson–Claisen Rearrangement to stereoselectively install the all-carbon quaternary stereocenter. This concise, highly efficient, and scalable synthetic route may provide expedited and practical access to psoracorylifols and their analogues for further biological activity evaluation.
