An analysis of the regioselectivity of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of benzonitrile n-oxides based on global and local electrophilicity and nu…
2009
The regioselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (13DC) reactions of benzonitrile N-oxides (BNOs) with electrophilic and nucleophilic alkenes has been analyzed by using global and local nucleophilicity and electrophilicity reactivity indices defined within the conceptual DFT. The BNOs react with electron-deficient and electron-rich ethylenes, but the regioselectivities of these polar reactions are different. Whereas the reactions with electron-rich ethylenes are completely regioselective, yielding 5-isoxazolines, a change in the regioselectivity is observed in the reactions with electron-deficient ethylenes, which yield a mixture of 4- and 5-isoxazolines. Analysis of the energies, geom…
Asymmetric Tandem Reactions: New Strategies and Applications
2013
Abstract The application of allylic sulphoxides and, particularly, the chiral amine reagent tert-butanesulphinamide has been extended to three different tandem processes. The condensation of (R)-(+)-allyl p-tolyl sulphoxide, fluorinated nitriles and alkyl propiolates led to a new family of enantiomerically pure fluorine-containing 1,4- dihydropyridines. A diastereoselective nucleophilic addition of fluorinated nucleophiles onto (R)-(tert-butanesulphinyl) imines, followed by an intramolecular aza-Michael reaction gave rise to either fluorinated isoindolines or 3-substituted indanones in a stereoselective manner.
HYCRON, an Allylic Anchor for High-Efficiency Solid Phase Synthesis of Protected Peptides and Glycopeptides
1997
The recently developed allylic HYCRON anchor1 exhibits excellent properties for the solid phase synthesis of protected peptides and glycopeptides. Model reactions with analogous low molecular weight compounds assessed the acid- and base-stability of the polar and flexible HYCRON linkage. The new anchor is available in a two-step synthesis and allows the use of both the Boc- and the Fmoc-strategy, which can even be combined within one synthesis. Protected glycopeptides are released under almost neutral conditions, taking advantage of the Pd(0)-catalyzed allyl transfer to a weakly basic nucleophile such as N-methylaniline. The highly efficient synthesis of O-αGalNAc(TN)-peptides of the MUC-1 …
A DFT study of the mechanism of NHC catalysed annulation reactions involving α,β-unsaturated acyl azoliums and β-naphthol.
2016
The mechanism of NHC catalysed annulation reactions involving an α,β-unsaturated acyl azolium and β-naphthol has been studied using DFT methods at the MPWB1K/6-311G(d,p) level in toluene. For the C-C bond formation step, which corresponds to the rate- and stereo-determining step of this NHC catalysed reaction, the two competitive addition modes, i.e. the 1,2- and the 1,4-additions, have been studied. In toluene, acyl azolium forms an ion pair (IP) with the counterion chloride anion. Interestingly, β-naphthol forms a hydrogen bond with the chloride anion of IP, increasing the nucleophilic character of β-naphthol and the electrophilic character of the acyl azolium moiety. For the first time, …
Deprotonation of Fluoro Aromatics Using Lithium Magnesates.
2004
Abstract 3-Fluoropyridine was deprotonated on treatment with 1/3 equiv of Bu 3 MgLi in THF at −10 °C. The lithium arylmagnesate formed was either trapped with electrophiles or involved in a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with 2-bromopyridine. The use of a less nucleophilic lithium-magnesium-dialkylamide, (TMP) 3 MgLi, allowed the reaction of 3-fluoroquinoline, giving the 2,2′-dimeric derivative. 2-Fluoropyridine and 2,6-difluoropyridine were deprotonated using 1/3 equiv of the highly coordinated magnesate Bu 4 MgLi 2 in THF at −10 °C in the presence of a substoichiometric amount of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine. 1,3-Difluorobenzene reacted similarly when treated with Bu 3 MgLi;…
An AM1 theoretical study on the effect of Zn2+ Lewis acid catalysis on the mechanism of the cycloaddition between 3-phenyl-1-(2-pyridyl)-2-propen-1-o…
2002
Abstract The mechanism of the Diels–Alder reaction between 3-phenyl-1-(2-pyridyl)-2-propen-1-one and cyclopentadiene has been investigated with the AM1 semiempirical method. Stationary points for two reactive channels, endo - cis and exo - cis , have been characterized. The role of the Lewis acid catalyst has been modeled taking into account the formation of a complex between Zn 2+ and the carbonyl oxygen atom and the pyridyl nitrogen atom of the 3-phenyl-1-(2-pyridyl)-2-propen-1-one system with and without the presence of two molecules of water around the cation. The mechanism of the uncatalyzed reaction corresponds to a concerted process, but in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst the mec…
Understanding the formation of [3+2] and [2+4] cycloadducts in the Lewis acid catalysed reaction between methyl glyoxylate oxime and cyclopentadiene:…
2013
The formation of the formal [3+2] and [2+4] cycloadducts in the Lewis acid (LA) catalysed reaction of cyclopentadiene (Cp, 1) with methyl glyoxylate oxime (MGO, 2a) has been theoretically studied using DFT methods. Coordination of BF3 LA to the oxygen atom of MGO 2a not only increases the electrophilicity of the oxime, but also makes the corresponding tautomeric BF3:nitrone complex 8b the reactive species. The reaction is characterised by the nucleophilic attack of Cp 1 on the carbon atom of the corresponding BF3:nitrone complex 8b. The subsequent ring closure at the end of the reaction allows the formation of the [3+2] or [2+4] cycloadducts. ELF bonding analysis of selected points on the i…
Nucleophilic benzoylation using lithiated methyl mandelate as a synthetic equivalent of the benzoyl carbanion. Oxidative decarboxylation of α-hydroxy…
2001
Abstract The synthesis of alkyl aryl ketones using lithiated methyl mandelate as a synthetic equivalent of the benzoyl carbanion is reported (Umpolung). The methodology involves alkylation of methyl mandelate, hydrolysis of the ester group and oxidative decarboxylation of the resulting α-hydroxyacids. The last step is carried out in a catalytic aerobic way using a Co(III) complex in the presence of pivalaldehyde under very mild and advantageous conditions. The procedure is also applied to methyl mandelates substituted on the aromatic ring.

Understanding the high reactivity of carbonyl compounds towards nucleophilic carbenoid intermediates generated from carbene isocyanides
2015
The high reactivity of carbonyl compounds towards the carbenoid intermediate cis-IN, generated in situ by the addition of methyl isocyanide to dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD), has been investigated at the MPWB1K/6-311G(d,p) computational level by using Molecular Electron-Density Theory (MEDT). This multicomponent (MC) reaction is a domino process that comprises two sequential reactions: (i) the formation of a nucleophilic carbenoid intermediate trans-IN; and (ii) the nucleophilic attack of cis-IN on the carbonyl compound, resulting in the formation of the final 2-iminofuran derivative. The present MEDT study establishes that the high nucleophilic character and the electronic structur…
