Stereodivergent Synthesis of 1,4-Dicarbonyl Compounds through Sulfonium Rearrangement: Mechanistic Investigation, Stereocontrolled Access to γ-Lactones and γ-Lactams, and Total Synthesis of Paraconic Acids. J Am Chem Soc 2024; 146:13914-13923. [PMID: 38741029 PMCID: PMC11117187 DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c01755] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Although simple γ-lactones and γ-lactams have received considerable attention from the synthetic community, particularly due to their relevance in biological and medicinal contexts, stereoselective synthetic approaches to more densely substituted derivatives remain scarce. The in-depth study presented herein, showcasing a straightforward method for the stereocontrolled synthesis of γ-lactones and γ-lactams, builds on and considerably expands the stereodivergent synthesis of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds by a ynamide/vinyl sulfoxide coupling. A full mechanistic and computational study of the rearrangement was conducted, uncovering the role of all of the reaction components and providing a rationale for stereoselection. The broad applicability of the developed tools to streamlining synthesis is demonstrated by concise enantioselective total syntheses of (+)-nephrosteranic acid, (+)-rocellaric acid, and (+)-nephromopsinic acid.

Abstract
Polycyclic aryl naphthalene and tetralin dihydro arylnaphthalene lactone lignans possess anticancer and antibiotic activity. Related furo[3,4-c]pyranones, typified by the sequester-terpenoid isobolivianine, show similar antiproliferative bioactivity. Efficient syntheses of compounds featuring these polycyclic cores have proven challenging due to low yields and poor stereoselectivity. We report the synthesis of chiral cinnamyl but-2-enanoates and 3,3-diphenylallyl-but-2-enoates 1 as new Diels-Alder substrates. These compounds undergo [4 + 2]-cycloadditions to give furo[3,4-c]pyranones 2 in good yield (70%) and diastereoselectivity (7:1), together with naphthyl 3 and dihydronaphthyl tetralins 4 as minor products. Molecular structures and stereochemistries of the major products were verified using X-ray diffraction. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the cycloaddition process involves a bispericyclic/ambimodal process where there is a single transition state that leads to both intramolecular styryl Diels-Alder (ISDA) 3, 4 and intramolecular hetero Diels-Alder (IHDA) cycloadducts 2. With the elevated temperature conditions after cycloaddition, the resulting ISDA cycloadduct either undergoes [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement to the more stable major IHDA product or aromatization leading to the phenyltetralin.

Abstract
Bifunctional ligand-enabled cooperative gold catalysis accelerates nucleophilic attacks and offers a versatile strategy to achieve asymmetric gold catalysis. Distinct from the prior studies employing alkyne/allene as the electrophilic site, this work engages an in situ-generated alkenyl/acyl gold carbene in a ligand-facilitated attack by an alcoholic nucleophile. With an amide-functionalized chiral binaphthylphosphine ligand, γ-alkoxy-α,β-unsaturated imides are formed with excellent enantiomeric excesses. The intermediacy of a carbene species is supported by its alternative access via dediazotization. The reaction tolerates a broad range of alcohols and can accommodate dienynamide substrates, in addition to arylenynamides. This work avails a versatile strategy to enrich gold chemistry and achieve challenging enantioselective gold catalysis via ligand-facilitated enantioselective trapping of reactive intermediates.
