  • Highly Stereoselective Synthesis of Cyclopentanes bearing Four Stereocenters by a Rhodium Carbene–Initiated Domino Sequence
    2016
    Co-Authors: Brendan T. Parr, Huw M L Davies
    Abstract:

    Stereoselective synthesis of a cyclopentane nucleus by convergent annulations constitutes a significant challenge for synthetic chemists. Though a number of biologically relevant cyclopentane natural products are known, more often than not, the cyclopentane core is assembled in a stepwise fashion due to lack of efficient annulation strategies. Herein, we report the rhodium-catalyzed reactions of vinyldiazoacetates with (E)-1,3-disubstituted 2-butenols generate cyclopentanes, containing four new stereogenic centers with very high levels of stereoselectivity (99 % ee,>97: 3 dr). The reaction proceeds by a carbene–initiated domino sequence consisting of five distinct steps: rhodium–bound Oxonium Ylide formation, [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement, oxy-Cope rearrangement, enol–keto tautomerization, and finally an intramolecular carbonyl ene reaction. A systematic study is presented detailing how to control chirality transfer in each of the four stereo-defining steps of the cascade, consummating in the development of a highly stereoselective process

  • Scope and Mechanistic Analysis of the Enantioselective Synthesis of Allenes by Rhodium-Catalyzed Tandem Ylide Formation/[2,3]-Sigmatropic Rearrangement between Donor/Acceptor Carbenoids and Propargylic Alcohols
    2016
    Co-Authors: Vyacheslav Boyarskikh, Jorn H Hansen, Jochen Autschbach, Djamaladdin G Musaev, Huw M L Davies
    Abstract:

    Rhodium-catalyzed reactions of tertiary propargylic alcohols with methyl aryl- and styryldiazoacetates result in tandem reactions, consisting of Oxonium Ylide formation followed by [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. This process competes favorably with the standard O–H insertion reaction of carbenoids. The resulting allenes are produced with high enantioselectivity (88–98% ee) when the reaction is catalyzed by the dirhodium tetraprolinate complex, Rh2(S-DOSP)4. Kinetic resolution is possible when racemic tertiary propargylic alcohols are used as substrates. Under the kinetic resolution conditions, the allenes are formed with good diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity (up to 6.1:1 dr, 88–93% ee), and the unreacted alcohols are enantioenriched to 65–95% ee. Computational studies reveal that the high asymmetric induction is obtained via an organized transition state involving a two-point attachment: Ylide formation between the alcohol oxygen and the carbenoid and hydrogen bonding of the alcohol to a carboxylate ligand. The 2,3-sigmatropic rearrangement proceeds through initial cleavage of the O–H bond to generate an intermediate with close-lying open-shell singlet, triplet, and closed-shell singlet electronic states. This intermediate would have significant diradical character, which is consistent with the observation that the 2,3-sigmatropic rearrangement is favored with donor/acceptor carbenoids and more highly functionalized propargylic alcohols

  • enantioselective c c bond formation by rhodium catalyzed tandem Ylide formation 2 3 sigmatropic rearrangement between donor acceptor carbenoids and allylic alcohols
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2010
    Co-Authors: Huw M L Davies
    Abstract:

    The rhodium-catalyzed reaction of racemic allyl alcohols with methyl phenyldiazoacetate or methyl styryldiazoacetate results in a two-step process, an initial Oxonium Ylide formation followed by a [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. This process competes favorably with the more conventional O−H insertion chemistry as long as donor/acceptor carbenoids and highly substituted allyl alcohols are used as substrates. When the reactions are catalyzed by Rh2(S-DOSP)4, tertiary α-hydroxycarboxylate derivatives with two adjacent quaternary centers are produced with high enantioselectivity (85−98% ee).
