Abstract
C - N axially chiral compounds have recently attracted significant interest among synthetic chemistry community due to their widespread application in pharmaceuticals, advanced materials and organic synthesis. Although the emerging asymmetric Catellani reaction offers great opportunity for their modular and efficient preparation, the only operative chiral NBE strategy to date requires using half stoichiometric amount of chiral NBE and 2,6-disubstituted bromoarenes as electrophiles. We herein report an efficient assembly of C-N axially chiral scaffolds through a distinct chiral ligand strategy. The crucial chiral source, a biimidazoline (BiIM) chiral dinitrogen ligand, is used in relatively low loading and permits the use of less bulky bromoarenes. The method also features the use of feedstock plain NBE, high reactivity, good enantioselectivity, ease of operation and scale-up. Applications in the preparation of chiral optoelectronic material candidates featuring two C-N chiral axes and a chiral ligand for asymmetric C-H activation have also been demonstrated.

Abstract
An efficient protocol for the asymmetric synthesis of fluorenols has been developed through an enantioconvergent process enabled by Pd(ii)/chiral norbornene cooperative catalysis. This approach allows facile access to diverse functionalized chiral fluorenols with constantly excellent enantioselectivities, applying readily available racemic secondary ortho-bromobenzyl alcohols and aryl iodides as the starting materials.

Chem Sci 2023; 14:10971-10978. [PMID: 37829027 PMCID: PMC10566469 DOI: 10.1039/d3sc03987k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023] Open
Abstract
3,4-Fused 2-quinolone frameworks are important structural motifs found in natural products and biologically active compounds. Intermolecular alkenyl C-H activation/annulation of 4-amino-2-quinolone substrates with alkynes is one of the most efficient methods for accessing such structural motifs. However, this is a formidable challenge because 4-amino-2-quinolones have two cleavable C-H bonds: an alkenyl C-H bond at the C3-position and an aromatic C-H bond at the C5-position. Herein, we report the Rh(iii)-catalyzed highly site-selective alkenyl C-H functionalization of 4-amino-2-quinolones to afford 3,4-fused 2-quinolones. This method has a wide substrate scope, including unsymmetrical internal alkynes, with complete regioselectivity. Several control experiments using an isolated key intermediate analog suggested that the annulation reaction proceeds via reversible alkyne insertion involving a binuclear Rh complex although alkyne insertion is generally recognized as an irreversible process due to the high activation barrier of the reverse process.

Abstract
ConspectusBenzo-fused skeletons are ubiquitous in agrochemicals, medicines, natural products, catalysts, and other organic function materials. The assembly of these skeletons in an efficient manner is an actively explored field in organic synthesis. Palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis is a powerful tool for the expeditious assembly of polysubstituted arenes through bis-functionalization of the ortho and ipso positions of aryl iodides in one operation. Owing to the efforts of Lautens, Catellani, and others, an array of Pd/NBE-promoted annulations for the syntheses of diversified benzo-fused rings have been developed. However, these methods have not been broadly applied in total synthesis yet.Our group is interested in efficient and practical total synthesis of biologically active molecules. In the past 7 years, we have been devoted to the development of new annulation strategies for the assembly of common benzo-fused skeletons through Pd/NBE-promoted reactions of aryl iodides with novel bifunctional reagents. In this Account, we summarize our laboratory's systematic efforts in this direction. First, readily available epoxides and aziridines were exploited as versatile bifunctional alkylating reagents, which enables quick assembly of a series of valuable benzo-fused heterocycles, including isochromans, dihydrobenzofurans, 1,3-cis-tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs), 1,3-trans-THIQs, etc. Second, a convergent access to 5-7-membered benzo-fused carbocycles (including indanes and tetrahydronaphthalenes) was developed by Pd/NBE-promoted annulation of aryl iodides with simple olefinic alcohol-containing alkylating reagents. Third, a Pd/NBE-promoted annulation between aryl iodides and cyclohexanone-containing amination reagents was developed for the construction of benzo-fused N-containing bridged scaffolds. Thus, we have established a practical and versatile toolbox for the quick assembly of diversified benzo-fused skeletons. These new annulation reactions are of high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities with good step and atom economy. Moreover, they are able to rapidly increase molecular complexity from simple building blocks. Finally, their synthetic value has been demonstrated by immediate adoption in several efficient total syntheses of medicines and complex natural products. Compared to conventional synthetic logics, the Pd/NBE-promoted annulation toolbox allows the development of highly convergent strategies, which significantly improves the overall synthetic efficiency.We believe the results presented in this Account will have significant implications beyond our research. It can be envisaged that new Pd/NBE-promoted annulations as well as new applications in complex total synthesis will be revealed in the near future.

Abstract
Nitrogen stereocenters are common chiral units in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and chiral catalysts. However, their research has lagged largely behind, compared with carbon stereocenters and other heteroatom stereocenters. Herein, we report an efficient method for the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of Tröger's base analogues with nitrogen stereocenters via palladium catalysis and home-developed GF-Phos. It allows rapid construction of a new rigid cleft-like structure with both a C- and a N-stereogenic center in high efficiency and selectivity. A variety of applications as a chiral organocatalyst and metallic catalyst precursors were demonstrated. Furthermore, DFT calculations suggest that the NH···O hydrogen bonding and weak interaction between the substrate and ligand are crucial for the excellent enantioselectivity control.
