  • stereoselective synthesis of saturated heterocycles via palladium catalyzed alkene carboetherification and carboamination reactions
    Synlett, 2008
    Co-Authors: John P Wolfe
    Abstract:

    The development of palladium-catalyzed carboetherification andcarboamination reactions between aryl or alkenyl halides and alkenesbearing pendant heteroatoms is described. These transformationseffect the stereoselective construction of useful heterocycles,such as Tetrahydrofurans, pyrrolidines, imidazolidin-2-ones, isoxazolidines,and piperazines. The scope, limitations, and applications of thesereactions are presented, and current stereochemical models are described.The mechanism of the product formation, which involves an unusualintramolecular SYN-insertion of an alkene intoa palladium-heteroatom bond, is also discussed in detail. 1 Introduction 2 Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of Tetrahydrofurans from γ-Hydroxyalkenesand Aryl or Alkenyl Halides 2.1 Mechanism of the Tetrahydrofuran Formation 3 Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of Pyrrolidines from γ-Aminoalkenesand Aryl or Alkenyl Halides 3.1 Tandem Palladium-Catalyzed N-Arylation-CarboaminationReactions of Primary Amines 3.2 Palladium-Catalyzed Carboamination Reactions of N-Protected γ-Aminoalkenes 3.3 Mechanism of the Palladium-Catalyzed Carboamination Reactions:Surprises and Utility 3.4 Application of the Palladium-Catalyzed Carboamination of N-Protected γ-Aminoalkenesto the Stereoselective Synthesis of (+)-Preussin and ItsAnalogues 4 Synthesis of Imidazolidin-2-ones via Palladium-Catalyzed CarboaminationReactions 5 Synthesis of Isoxazolidines via Palladium-Catalyzed CarboetherificationReactions 6 Synthesis of Piperazines via Palladium-Catalyzed CarboaminationReactions 7 Summary and Future Outlook

  • Recent Advances in the Stereoselective Synthesis of Tetrahydrofurans.
    Tetrahedron, 2007
    Co-Authors: John P Wolfe
    Abstract:

    Substituted Tetrahydrofurans are commonly occurring substructures found in a broad array of natural products and other biologically active molecules. For example, the annonaceous acetogenins are a large family of natural products bearing tetrahydrofuran cores.1 Tetrahydrofuran moieties are also found in many other classes of natural products including lignans,2 polyether ionophores3 and macrodiolides.4 These substances exhibit a diverse range of biological activities including antitumor, antihelmic, antimalarial, antimicrobial, and antiprotozoal. Due to the importance of these molecules, considerable effort has been devoted towards the development of methods for the stereoselective construction of substituted Tetrahydrofurans.5 This review covers the important transformations that have been used in the stereoselective synthesis of Tetrahydrofurans, with emphasis placed on literature published between 1993–2005. A broad array of new methods developed over the past twelve years are described, as well as recent advances in older reactions that are widely used. The coverage of this review is limited to the synthesis of Tetrahydrofurans; methods that generate furans, dihydrofurans, and benzofurans are not discussed.

  • palladium catalyzed synthesis of 2 1 disubstituted Tetrahydrofurans from γ hydroxy internal alkenes evidence for alkene insertion into a pd o bond and stereochemical scrambling via β hydride elimination
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2005
    Co-Authors: Michael B Hay, John P Wolfe
    Abstract:

    Palladium-catalyzed reactions of γ-hydroxy internal acyclic alkenes with aryl bromides afford 2,1‘-disubstituted Tetrahydrofurans in good yields with diastereoselectivities of 3−5:1. The analogous transformations of substrates bearing internal cyclic alkenes afford fused bicyclic and spirocyclic tetrahydrofuran derivatives in good yields with excellent diastereoselectivities (>20:1). A series of deuterium labeling experiments indicate that the origin of the modest diastereoselectivity in reactions of acyclic internal alkene substrates likely derives from a series of reversible β-hydride elimination and σ-bond rotation processes that occur following a rare intramolecular alkene syn-insertion into an intermediate Pd(Ar)(OR) complex. In addition, these studies shed light on the chemoselectivity of insertion, suggesting that the alkene inserts into the Pd−O bond in preference to the Pd−C bond.

  • palladium catalyzed synthesis of Tetrahydrofurans from γ hydroxy terminal alkenes scope limitations and stereoselectivity
    Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2005
    Co-Authors: Michael B Hay, And Alison R Hardin, John P Wolfe
    Abstract:

    A new, stereoselective synthesis of substituted Tetrahydrofurans via Pd-catalyzed reactions of aryl and vinyl bromides with γ-hydroxy terminal alkenes is described. This transformation affords trans-2,5- and trans-2,3-disubstituted Tetrahydrofurans with up to >20:1 dr. This methodology also provides access to bicyclic and spirocyclic tetrahydrofuran derivatives in good yield with 10−20:1 dr. The scope and limitations of these transformations are discussed in detail, as are the effect of substrate sterics and electronics on yield and stereoselectivity. A proposed mechanism of these transformations is presented along with a model that rationalizes the stereochemical outcome of the reactions.
