Understanding the different reactivity of (Z)- and (E)-β-nitrostyrenes in [3+2] cycloaddition reactions. An MEDT study
2021
The experimental reactivity of isomeric (Z)- and (E)-b-nitrostyrenes participating in [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions has been analysed on the basis of molecular electron density theory (MEDT) at the HF/6-311G(d,p), B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) and uB97X-D/6-311G(d,p) computational levels. It was found that the polar zw-type 32CA reactions with 5,5-dimethylpyrroline-N-oxide proceed via a one-step mechanism, characterised by the attack of the nucleophilic oxygen centre of the nitrone on the electrophilically activated b-position of these nitrostyrenes. This behaviour is completely understood by means of the analysis of the conceptual DFT reactivity indices. These 32CA reactions present low activat…
Understanding the mechanism and regioselectivity of the copper(i) catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between azide and alkyne: a systematic DFT…
2017
The copper(I) catalyzed azide–alkyne [3 + 2] cycloaddition (32CA) reaction and its uncatalyzed version have been studied for systematic understanding of this relevant organic transformation, using DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) (LANL2DZ for Cu) computational levels. In the absence of a copper(I) catalyst, two regioisomeric reaction paths were studied, indicating that the 32CA reaction takes place through an asynchronous one-step mechanism with a very low polar character. The two reactive channels leading to 1,4- and 1,5-regisomer present similar high activation energies of 18.84 and 18.51 kcal mol−1, respectively. The coordination of copper(I) to alkyne produces relevant changes in …
Synthesis of l -[4-11 C]Asparagine by Ring-Opening Nucleophilic 11 C-Cyanation Reaction of a Chiral Cyclic Sulfamidate Precursor
2018
The development of a convenient and rapid method to synthesize radiolabeled, enantiomerically pure amino acids (AAs) as potential positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agents for mapping various biochemical transformations in living organisms remains a challenge. This is especially true for the synthesis of carbon-11-labeled AAs given the short half-life of carbon-11 (11 C, t1/2 =20.4 min). A facile synthetic pathway to prepare enantiomerically pure 11 C-labeled l-asparagine was developed using a partially protected serine as a starting material with a four-step transformation providing a chiral five-membered cyclic sulfamidate as the radiolabeling precursor. Its structure and absolute…
Rapid Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Sulforhodamines Through Nucleophilic Amination of a Monobrominated Sulfoxanthene Dye
2014
A transition-metal-free method for the synthesis of N-substituted unsymmetrical sulforhodamine fluorophores from an unusual monobrominated sulfoxanthene dye and primary or secondary amines by direct SNAr-type reactions is presented. The simplicity and effectiveness of this “postamination” procedure were demonstrated through the rapid preparation of a library of multifunctional red-emitting rhodamine analogues. Some of these analogues are equipped with a reactive handle and retain the two water-solubilizing sulfonic acid moieties of the starting halogenated derivative; this makes them ideal candidates for biolabeling applications. The potential utility of this expeditious strategy to finely …
Facile immobilization of copper(I) acetate on silica: A recyclable and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for azide–alkyne clickable cycloaddition react…
2019
Abstract The structurally well-defined copper(I) acetate was immobilized on silica gel via electrostatic interactions. The catalytic activity of the immobilized catalyst Cu(I)–SiO2 was examined in the click synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles in water/ethanol at room temperature. The catalyst showed high catalytic activity and regioselectivity for the Huisgen [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between terminal alkynes and azides. The catalyst was recovered by simple filtration and reused for up to five times. The analysis of the local electrophilicity/nucleophilicity has been performed on the dinuclear copper–acetylide complex intermediate. Conceptual DFT (CDFT) analysis enabled the explanation of the f…
A combined experimental and theoretical study of the polar [3+2] cycloaddition of electrophilically activated carbonyl ylides with aldehydes and imin…
2009
International audience; Numerous 2,5-diaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,4-dicarbonitriles and 2,4-diphenyl-1,3-oxazolidine-5,5- dicarbonitriles have been synthesized by [3+2] cycloaddition reactions between carbonyl ylides generated from epoxides, and aldehydes or imines. In contrast to the use of aldehydes (3,4,5- trimethoxybenzaldehyde, piperonal, 1-naphthaldehyde, indole-3-carboxaldehyde, furan-2- carboxaldehyde and thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde), the reactions performed with imines (N- (phenylmethylene)methanamine, N-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethylene)propylamine, N-(1,3-benzodioxol- 5-ylmethylene)butylamine and N-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethylene)benzylamine) proceed diastereoselectively. The effect of micr…
Addition von Phosphor‐Nucleophilen an Benzothiet
1991
Addition Reactions of Phosphorus Nucleophiles to Benzothiete Trialkyl phosphites 4 add to the o-quinoid form 2 of benzothiete (1) to yield the phosphonates 6. An intermolecular migration of an alkyl group from oxygen to sulfur is the most important feature of this transformation. The rearrangement – related to the Arbuzov reaction – can be avoided in a two-step process by the subsequent action of PCl3 and alcohol; thus the phosphonates 10 are generated. Analogous to 2 6, dimethyl phenylphosphinate (11) furnishes 13. In contrast, the cyclic esters 14a–d form 2:1 adducts, namely the 12- to 15-membered heterocyclic compounds 17a – d. An intramolecular rearrangement in a 1:1 adduct is only obse…
Synthetic Studies towards Pectenotoxin-2: Synthesis of the Nonanomeric 10-epi-ABCDE Ring Segment by Kinetic Spiroketalization
2011
The synthesis of the nonanomeric 10-epi-ABCDE ring system of pectenotoxin-2 has been achieved by using a kinetic spiroketalization reaction. The synthesis of the spiroketalization precursor was achieved through a cross-metathesis/hydro-genation sequence. The formation of the epi-C10 isomer resulted from an unexpected anti-Felkin selective addition of organometallic nucleophiles to the advanced CDE ring precursor. This addition reaction was investigated with differently protected α,β-dioxygenated model aldehydes, which displayed similar anti-Felkin selectivities with organometallic nucleophiles.
Asymmetric addition of a nitrogen nucleophile to an enoate in the presence of a chiral phase-transfer catalyst: A novel approach toward enantiomerica…
2012
A proof of concept for the asymmetric organocatalytic aza-Michael addition reaction of nitrogen nucleophiles with simple and readily available alkyl enoates as acceptor molecules in the presence of a chiral phase-transfer catalyst has been demonstrated. The desired enantiomerically enriched beta-amino acid derivatives were obtained in up to 86% yield and with enantioselectivities of up to 37% ee. (C) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of Highly Substituted Unsymmetrical 1,2-Diamines, 1,2-Diimines, Imidazolium Salts and Imidazolylidenes by Aldimine Cross-Coupling
2007
α-Aminonitriles derived from aromatic aldehydes and primary amines can be deprotonated quantitatively without the use of protecting groups. The 1,2-addition of the resulting stabilized α-aminocarbanions to imines yields α-aminoimines and the tautomeric enediamines. These unstable compounds can directly be oxidized to 1,2-diimines or reduced to 1,2-diamines in a one-pot reaction. 1,2-Diamines can be obtained in high diastereoselectivity by reduction of the 1,2-diimines. In this case, the relative configuration of the products can be chosen depending on the reduction conditions. Cyclization of the unsymmetrical diimines with halomethyl ethers or esters leads to 1,3,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidaz…
