Synthesis, reactions and structural features of monofluorinated cyclopropanecarboxylates
2002
Abstract Monofluorinated cyclopropanecarboxylates are available in racemic or optically active form by transition metal-catalyzed reactions of vinylfluorides with diazoacetates. From α-fluorostyrene and tert-butyl diazoacetate in the presence of 2 mol% of an enantiopure bis(oxazoline) copper complex, a 81:19 mixture of tert-butyl trans- and cis-2-fluoro-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylates was obtained with high enantiomeric excess (ee) of 93 or 89%, respectively. The corresponding racemic ethylesters were used as starting materials for the synthesis of carboxamides, of the cis- and trans-isomers of analogues of tranylcypromine, an anti-depressive drug and several of its homologous fluorinated …
Part II. Chiral dirhodium (II) catalysts with ortho-metalated arylphosphane ligands in the enantioselective intramolecular cyclopropanation of a race…
2006
Abstract In this report, chiral dirhodium (II) with ortho -metalated phosphane ligands, namely ( M )-Rh 2 (O 2 CR) 2 (PC) 2 [PC = ortho -metalated aryl phosphane, O 2 CR = carboxylate bridging ligands) ( 1a–g ), have been used for the intramolecular cyclopropanation of racemic1-diazo-6-methyl-3-(2-propenyl)-5-hepten-2-one ( 2 ), containing both a tri- and monosubstituted carbon–carbon double bond, in pentane. The highest level of regiocontrol has been obtained with chiral catalyst Rh 2 (O 2 CCH 3 ) 2 [( p -MeC 6 H 3 )P( p -MeC 6 H 4 ) 2 ] 2 ( M )- 1c , affording favorably trisubstituted cyclopropane 3 versus monosubstituted cyclopropane 4 in 74:26 ratio. An exceptional diastereoselectivity…
Stereoselective synthesis of polyoxygenated atisane-type diterpenoids
2001
Abstract A new stereoselective approach to polyoxygenated atisane-type diterpenes starting from (S)-(+)-carvone is described. The key steps involve an intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction, an unusual intramolecular diazo ketone cyclopropanation of an unsaturated ketone, and a regioselective endocyclic cleavage of a cyclopropyl carbinyl radical as key synthetic steps. The synthesis of the bioactive polyoxygenated atisanes atis-16(17)-en-3,14-dione ( 2 ) and 3R-hydroxy-atis-16(17)-en-2,14-dione ( 3 ) following this approach is presented.
Enantio- and Diastereocontrol in Intermolecular Cyclopropanation Reaction of Styrene Catalyzed by Dirhodium(II) Complexes with Bulky ortho-Metalated …
2006
Enantiomerically pure dirhodium(II) complexes with ortho-metalated para-substituted aryl phosphines have been shown to lead to an enantio- and diastereoselective cyclopropanation of styrene with ethyl diazoacetate. Enantioselectivities up to 91% and diastereoselectivities up to 90% are observed for ethyl cis-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate. High enantio- and diastereoselectivities are observed for the synthesis of ethyl cis-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate using water as solvent. Additionally, a (+)-nonlinear effect, (+)-NLE, has been observed and studied in the asymmetric catalytic reaction developed in n-pentane.
Bimetallic complexes with ruthenium and tantalocene moieties: Synthesis and use in a catalytic cyclopropanation reaction
2006
Abstract The reaction of the tantalocene dichloride monophosphines ( 1 – 2 ) with the binuclear complex [( p -cymene)RuCl 2 ] 2 gives the heterobimetallic compounds ( p -cymene)[(η 5 -C 5 H 5 )(μ-η 5 :η 1 -C 5 H 4 (CH 2 ) 2 PR 2 )TaCl 2 ]RuCl 2 ( 3 – 4 ). The air oxidation of these bimetallic species 3 – 4 , leads to the cationic hydroxo tantalum ruthenium derivatives 5 – 6 . The last ones are easily deprotonated by a base to afford the oxo analogues 7 – 8 . A preliminary assessment in catalytic cyclopropanation of styrene with tantalum ruthenium bimetallic complexes 3 – 8 as precatalysts revealed a cooperative effect with a subtle role of the early metal fragment.

(P) and (M) dirhodium(II) complexes with ortho-metalated aryl phosphines are assessed as chiral catalysts in the enantioselective cyclopropanation of styrenes by ethyl diazoacetate; enantioselectivities up to 91% and up to 87%, respectively, for cis- and trans-2-arylcyclopropanecarboxylates are observed.
Insight into the mechanism of diazocompounds transformation catalyzed by hetero cuboidal clusters [Mo3CuQ4(MeBPE)3X4]+, (Q=S, Se; X=Cl, Br): The cata…
2008
Abstract Two enantiomerically pure trinuclear compounds of formula (P)-[Mo3S4{(R,R)-Me–BPE}3Br3]Br and (P)-[Mo3Se4{(R,R)-Me–BPE}3Cl3]Cl, (P)-1b.Br and (P)-1c.Cl, respectively, have been synthesized in a good yield and a stereospecific manner by excision of polymeric [Mo3Q7X4]n (Q = S or Se, X = Cl or Br) phases with (R,R)-Me–BPE{1,2-bis[(2R,5R)-2,5-(dimethylphospholan-1-yl)]ethane}. They have been transformed into chiral hetereo cuboidal compounds [Mo3S4{(R,R)-Me–BPE}3Br3]PF6, (P)-2b.PF6, and [Mo3Se4{(R,R)-Me–BPE}3Cl3]PF6, (P)-2c.PF6, by reaction with copper salts. All these compounds have been characterized by 31P NMR, IR, UV–Vis, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and chiral dichroism…
Immobilized Chiral ortho-Metalated Dirhodium(II) Compounds as Catalysts in the Asymmetric Cyclopropanation of Styrene with Ethyl Diazoacetate
2007
Immobilization of ortho-metalated dirhodium(II) compounds has been achieved by a carboxylate interchange reaction between (M)-Rh2(l-protos)2[(p-XC6H3)P(p-XC6H4)2]2 diastereoisomers and carboxyethylpolystyrene polymer (PS-C6H4(CH2)2CO2H). The immobilized chiral catalysts have been tested in the standard reaction of asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrene with ethyl diazoacetate, giving higher yields than homogeneous chiral trifluoroacetate derivatives, but their diastereo- and enantioselectivities were lower. Some of the immobilized catalysts have proved to be very robust. The catalytic behavior of (M)-Rh2(O2C(CH2)2C6H5)2[(p-XC6H3)P(p-XC6H5)2]2 compounds has been studied as a model for the im…
Homogeneous and supported copper complexes of cyclic and open-chain polynitrogenated ligands as catalysts of cyclopropanation reactions
1999
CuI and CuII complexes of cyclic and open-chain polyaza compounds have been tested as catalysts in the benchmark cyclopropanation reaction of styrene with ethyl diazoacetate. In general, only small amounts of copper are needed to promote the reaction. The catalytic activity depends on the structure of the ligand, e.g. amine–amides are more efficient than polyamines, and on the oxidation state of copper, CuII being more active than CuI. Given that CuI is the active species, these changes of behavior must be related to the stabilities of the complexes. The nature of the counterion also has a noticeable influence on the catalytic activity, the role of which is discussed. XAS measurements sugge…
High Enantiocontrol in the Intramolecular Cyclopropanation of Diazo Ketones Catalyzed by Dirhodium(II) Complexes with Ortho-Metalated Aryl Phosphine …
2001
[reaction: see text]. Chiral dirhodium(II) complexes, Rh2(O2CCF3)2(PC)2, [PCH = (p-CH3C6H4)3P, (m-CH3C6H4)3P], provide an excellent yield and a high enantiocontrol in the cyclopropanation of alpha-diazo ketones with gamma and delta double bonds. The ee values are significantly dependent on the solvent used; the best results are obtained using pentane.
