Theoretical investigation on mechanism of asymmetric Michael addition of trans-1-nitro-2-phenylethylene to 2-methylpropionaldehyde catalyzed by a Cinchona alkaloid-derived primary amine

Using cinchona alkaloid-derived primary amine as catalyst and benzoic acid as co-catalyst, Michael-type addition reactions between enolizable carbonyl compounds and nitroalkenes have been extensively studied; however, our understanding of the mechanism is far from complete. In this paper, a theoretical study is presented for the Michael addition reaction between trans-1-nitro-2-phenylethylene and 2-methylpropionaldehyde catalyzed by 9-epi-QDA and benzoic acid. By performing DFT and ab initio calculations, we have identified a detailed mechanism. The calculations indicated that four continuous steps are involved in the overall reaction: (1) the formation of an iminium intermediate, (2) an addition reaction between the iminium and trans-1-nitro-2-phenylethylene, (3) the proton transfer process, and (4) hydrolysis and regeneration of the catalyst. The rate-determining step is the second proton transfer from the amine group to β-carbon of trans-1-nitro-2-phenylethylene, and the enantioselectivity is also controlled by this step. The calculated results provide a general model that explains the mechanism and enantioselectivity of the title reaction.     

Organocatalytic conjugate addition of 1-bromonitroalkanes to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes: synthesis of nitrocyclopropanes

A variety of secondary amines were studied as the catalyst in the conjugate addition of 1-bromonitromethane to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. Proline was identified as the best catalyst for this reaction. MeOH/AcONa system was found to provide much better yields than CHCl₃/Et₃N system reported before. Good yields of nitrocyclopropane products were obtained with a variety of β-aryl acroleins. Several substituted 1-bromonitromethanes were also examined in the reaction. Both 1-bromonitroethane and 1-phenyl-1-bromonitromethane gave the corresponding nitrocyclopropanes in good yields. The diastereoselectivity of the reaction was strongly affected by the steric hindrance of 1-bromonitroalkanes.     

Organocatalytic asymmetric direct phosphonylation of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes: mechanism, scope, and application in synthesis

The first direct organocatalytic enantioselective phosphonylation of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes with phosphite, in combination with a Br?nsted acid and a nucleophile, is presented. Mechanistic investigations have revealed that the first step in the catalytic process, after the formation of the iminium intermediate, is the addition of phosphite to the beta-carbon atom, leading to the phosphonium ion-enamine intermediate. The rate-determining step for the reaction is the transformation of P(III) to P(V), which occurs via a nucleophilic SN2-type dealkylation, and a screening of various nucleophiles shows that soft nucleophiles in combination with a Br?nsted acid improve the reaction rate and enantioselectivity. The reaction conditions developed show that the use of 2-[bis(3,5-bistrifluoromethylphenyl)trimethylsilanoxymethyl]pyrrolidine as the catalyst and tri-iso-propyl phosphite as the phosphonylation reagent, in the presence of stoichiometric amount of benzoic acid and sodium iodide, gave the beta-phosphonylation of aromatic and aliphatic alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes in good yields and enantioselectivities. The products formed by this new reaction have been used for the synthesis of a number of biologically important compounds, such as optically active hydroxyl phosphonate esters, phosphonic acids, and especially glutamic acid and fosmidomycin precursors, of which the two latter are showing important properties for the treatment of central nervous system diseases and as anti-malarial compounds, respectively. DFT calculations have been applied to explain the approach of the phosphite to the reactive carbon atom in the iminium intermediate in order to account for the observed absolute enantioselectivity in the reaction.     

Theoretical study of the imidazolidinone catalyzed 1,4-addition of N,N-dimethyl-3-anisidine with α,β-unsaturated butyric aldehyde

Friedel–Crasfts alkylation reactions of α,β-unsaturated butyric aldehydes with N,N-dimethyl-3-anisidine catalyzed by a (2S,5S)-5-benzyl-2-tert-butyl-3-methylimidazolidin-4-one HCl salt have been carried out at the PCM(CH₂Cl₂)/B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. Three reaction processes have been characterized: (I) the formation of an iminium ion intermediate; (II) the 1,4-iminium addition of the iminium ion; and (III) the hydrolysis of the addition product. Moreover, Path 1-1 is the favorable channel in the formation of the iminium ion. From the point of view of energy, the enantioselectivity is controlled by the carbon–carbon bond formation step that is involved in both the intermediate M4 and the transition state TS4. The highest energy barrier of the reaction is the H2 proton transfer from the O10 atom of a water molecule to the N1 atom of the catalyst in the hydrolysis process, which is 23.4 kcal/mol. The presented calculated results may be helpful in understanding the experimental product distribution for the title reaction, and provide a general model to help explain the mechanisms of similar reactions.     

Enantioselective conjugate addition of 1-bromonitroalkanes to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes catalyzed by chiral secondary amines

Highly enantioselective conjugate addition of bromonitromethane to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes catalyzed by chiral secondary amines has been achieved. Diphenylprolinol triethylsilyl ether was found to be the best catalyst for the reaction under MeOH/AcONa system. Various β-aryl acroleins afforded nitrocyclopropanes with excellent enantioselectivities and in good yields; however, the reaction of β-alkyl acroleins did not provide the corresponding nitrocyclopropanes. Substituted 1-bromonitromethanes, such as 1-bromonitroethane and 1-phenyl-1-bromonitromethane, were also applied in the reaction with excellent enantioselectivities and improved diastereoselectivities. The new methodology is efficient for preparing highly substituted chiral nitrocyclopropanes.     

Mechanistic rationalization of organocatalyzed conjugate addition of linear aldehydes to nitro-olefins

Kinetic studies of the conjugate addition of propanal to nitrostyrene catalyzed by diarylprolinol ethers reveal that formation of the product iminium species is rate-determining and is promoted by both the reaction product and acid additives. The beneficial role of a dominant cyclobutane intermediate in maintaining high stereoselectivity is highlighted. This mechanistic understanding led to the design of highly productive reaction protocols.     

Synthesis of 9-alkylidene-9H-fluorenes by a novel, palladium-catalyzed cascade reaction of aryl halides and 1-aryl-1-alkynes.

In the presence of a palladium catalyst and NaOAc, aryl iodides react with 1-aryl-1-alkynes to afford 9-alkylidene-9H-fluorenes in good yields. The products from this reaction are highly dependent on the base employed. This process appears to involve (1) oxidative addition of the aryl iodide to Pd(0), (2) alkyne insertion, (3) rearrangement of the resulting vinylic palladium intermediate to an arylpalladium species, and (4) aryl-aryl coupling with simultaneous regeneration of the Pd(0) catalyst. Consistent with this mechanism is the fact that 9-alkylidene-9H-fluorenes can also be prepared by the Pd-catalyzed rearrangement of 1,1-diaryl-2-iodo-1-alkenes.     

RuO4-mediated oxidation of N-benzylated tertiary amines. 3. Behavior of 1,4-dibenzylpiperazine and its oxygenated derivatives

1,4-Dibenzylpiperazine (1),-2-piperazinone (7),-2,6-piperazinedione (9), and 1-benzoyl-4-benzylpiperazine (30) were oxidized by RuO₄ (generated in situ) by attack at their endocyclic and exocyclic (i.e., benzylic) aminic N-α-C-H bonds to afford various oxygenated derivatives, including acyclic diformamides, benzaldehyde, and benzoic acid. The reaction outcome was complicated by (i) the hydrolysis of diformamides, occurred during the work-up, and (ii) the reaction of benzaldehyde with the hydrolysis-derived amines giving imidazolidines and/or Schiff bases. Benzoic acid resulted from benzaldehyde only. Compounds 7, 30, and 1-benzylpiperazine, but not 9, were transiently formed during the oxidation of 1. In the same reaction conditions, 1,4-dibenzyl-2,3-(or 2,5)-piperazinedione, 1,4-dibenzyl-2,3,6-piperazinetrione, 4-benzyol-1-benzyl-2-piperazinone, and 1,4-dibenzoylpiperazine were inert. The proposed oxidation mechanism involves the formation of endocyclic and exocyclic iminium cations, as well as of cyclic enamines. The latter intermediates probably result by base-induced deprotonation of the iminium cations, provided an N ⁺−β-proton is available. In the case of 1, the cations were trapped with NaCN as the corresponding α-aminonitriles. The statistically corrected regioselectivity (endocyclic/exocyclic) of the RuO₄-induced oxidation reaction of 1, 7, and 30 was 1.2–1.3.     

The role of benzoic acid in proline‐catalyzed asymmetric michael addition: A density functional theory study

In asymmetric Michael addition between ketones and nitroolefins catalyzed by L ‐proline, we observed that it was benzoic acid or its derivatives rather than other proton acid that could accelerate the reaction greatly, and different benzoic acid derivatives brought different yields. To explain the experimental phenomena, a density functional theory study was performed to elucidate the mechanism of proline‐catalyzed asymmetric Michael addition with benzoic acid. The results of the theoretical calculation at the level of B3LYP/6‐311+G(2df,p)//B3LYP/6‐31G(d) demonstrated that benzoic acid played two major roles in the formation of nitroalkane: assisting proton transfer and activating the nitro group. In the stage of enamine formation from imine, the energy profiles of benzoic acid derivatives were also calculated to investigate the reasons why different benzoic acid derivatives caused different yields. The results demonstrated that the pK_a value was the major factor for p‐substituted benzoic acid derivatives to improve the yields, whereas for m/o‐substituted benzoic acid derivatives, both pK_a value and electronic and steric effects could significantly increase the yields. The calculated results would be very helpful for understanding the reaction mechanism of Michael addition and provide some insights into the selection of efficient additives for similar experiments. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of benzoic acid hydrazide by bromate catalyzed by octamolybdomanganate(II)

Oxidation of benzoic acid hydrazide by bromate in the presence of octamolybdomanganate(II), [Mn^IIMo₈O₂₇]⁴⁻, was studied in hydrochloric acid medium. The mechanism of the reaction involves oxidation of the catalyst to [Mn^IVMo₈O₂₇]²⁻ by bromate which then forms a complex with the unoxidized catalyst. Both the complex and [Mn^IVMo₈O₂₇]²⁻ react with the substrate in rate-determining steps to generate an intermediate acyl diimide, RCONNH. The reaction of water with the diimide then leads to the formation of benzoic acid and nitrogen as products through an NH–NH intermediate. There was no formation of free radical, indicating the involvement of only two-electron transfer steps in the mechanism. The order of more than unity in catalyst concentration is due to the formation of complex between the catalyst and the oxidized form of the catalyst. A rate law explaining all the kinetic results has been derived and verified. The effects of ionic strength and solvent polarity have also been studied, and the thermodynamic parameters were determined. A less solvated transition state as a result of interaction between the complex and oxidized form of the catalyst satisfactorily explains all the effects observed.
