Gold catalyzed stereoselective tandem hydroamination–formal aza-Diels–Alder reaction of propargylic amino esters

A gold-catalyzed tandem intramolecular hydroamination-formal aza-Diels-Alder reaction of propargylic amino esters is described. The overall process leads to the formation of a tetracyclic framework as a single diastereoisomer, with the creation of four bonds and five stereocenters.

Gold-Catalyzed Intramolecular Hydroamination of o-Alkynylbenzyl Carbamates: A Route to Chiral Fluorinated Isoindoline and Isoquinoline Derivatives

Enantiomerically pure fluorinated isoindoline and dihydroisoquinoline scaffolds have been prepared through a diastereoselective addition of fluorinated nucleophiles to Ellman’s N-(tert-butanesulfinyl)imines followed by a sequence of Sonogashira cross-coupling/gold(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of the corresponding carbamate. A more favored 5-exo-dig mechanism was observed mainly due to an electronic effect of the fluorinated group.

Structure, magnetic properties and nuclease activity of pyridine-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazonecopper(II) complexes.

New complexes of formulae [Cu(HL 2 )(H 2 O)(NO 3 )](NO 3 ) ( 1 ), [{Cu(L 1 )(tfa)} 2 ] ( 2 ), [{Cu(L 1 )} 2 (pz)](ClO 4 ) 2 ( 3 ) and {[{Cu(L 1 )} 2 (dca)](ClO 4 )} n ( 4 ), where HL 1  = pyridine-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone, HL 2  = pyridine-2-carbaldehyde 4 N -methylthiosemicarbazone, Htfa = trifluoroacetic acid (CF 3 COOH), pz = pyrazine (C 4 H 4 N 2 ) and dca = dicyanamide [N(CN) 2 ] − , have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures of these compounds are built up of monomers ( 1 ), dinuclear entities with the metal centers bridged through the non-thiosemicarbazone coligand ( 2 and 3 ) and 1D chains of dimers ( 4 ). In all the cases, square–pyramidal copper(II) io…

Base-Dependent Stereodivergent Intramolecular Aza-Michael Reaction: Asymmetric Synthesis of 1,3-Disubstituted Isoindolines

The nucleophilic addition (A(N)) / intramolecular aza-Michael reaction (IMAMR) process on Ellman's tert-butylsulfinyl imines, bearing a Michael acceptor in the ortho position, is studied. This reaction affords 1,3-disubstituted isoindolines with a wide range of substituents in good yields and diastereoselectivities. Interestingly, careful choice of the base for the aza-Michael step allows either the cis or the trans diastereoisomers to be exclusively obtained. This stereodivergent cyclization has enabled the synthesis of C2-symmetric bisacetate-substituted isoindolines. In addition, bisacetate isoindolines bearing two well-differentiated ester moieties are also noteworthy because they may a…

(1,3,4‐Oxadiazole)copper(II) Compounds: Dimensionality, Magnetism and Nuclease Activity

The work presented here describes the synthesis of new copper(II) complexes derived from 2-amino-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (L1) and 2-methylamino-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (L2) which also incorporate azido (N3 -), thiocyanato (NCS-), cyanato (NCO-), dicyanamido [N(CN)2 -, dca] and malonato (C3H2O4 2-, mal) coligands. Structures of the [Cu(L2)(mal)(H2O)]·2H 2O(1), [{Cu(L2)(mal)}2] (2), [Cu(L 2)2-(NCS)2] (3), [Cu(L1)(NCS) 2]n (4) and [{Cu(L2)}2(dca) 2](ClO4)2·2H2O (5) compounds show the dependence of the dimensionality on parameters such as the type of oxadiazole and coligand utilised, solvents or reaction times. In this sense, 1 and 3 are mononuclear complexes, 2 contains cen…

ChemInform Abstract: Base-Dependent Stereodivergent Intramolecular Aza-Michael Reaction: Asymmetric Synthesis of 1,3-Disubstituted Isoindolines.

For the reaction of the compounds (I) the careful choice of the base allows the exclusive formation of either cis or trans diastereoisomer with the exception of the trihalogenates (Ie) and (If), which afford the cis-products regardless of the base used.

An Approach to 2,4-Substituted Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines and Pyrazolo[1,5-a]azepines by Ring-Closing Metathesis

The ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reactions of dienylpyrazoles have been employed in the synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine and pyrazolo[1,5-a]azepine derivatives. Based on this approach, the diastereoselective synthesis of potential peptidomimetics containing four amino acid residues with the second (i+1) and third (i+2) fragments having been substituted by bicyclic frameworks is described.
