Vaghi F, Facchetti G, Rimoldi I, Bottiglieri M, Contini A, Gelmi ML, Bucci R. Highly efficient morpholine-based organocatalysts for the 1,4-addition reaction between aldehydes and nitroolefins: an unexploited class of catalysts. Front Chem 2023; 11:1233097. [PMID: 37638101 PMCID: PMC10451084 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2023.1233097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Many studies have demonstrated how the pyrrolidine nucleus is more efficient than the corresponding piperidine or morpholine as organocatalysts in the condensation of aldehydes with electrophiles via enamine. Focussing on morpholine-enamines, their low reactivity is ascribed to the presence of oxygen on the ring and to the pronounced pyramidalisation of nitrogen, decreasing the nucleophilicity of the enamine. Thus, the selection of efficient morpholine organocatalysts appears to be a difficult challenge. Herein, we reported on the synthesis of new organocatalysts belonging to the class of ß-morpholine amino acids that were tested in a model reaction, i.e., the 1,4-addition reaction of aldehydes to nitroolefins. Starting from commercially available amino acids and epichlorohydrin, we designed an efficient synthesis for the aforementioned catalysts, controlling the configuration and the substitution pattern. Computational studies indeed disclosed the transition state of the reaction, explaining why, despite all the limitations of the morpholine ring for enamine catalysis, our best catalyst works efficiently, affording condensation products with excellent yields, diastereoselection and good-to-exquisite enantioselectivity.

Abstract
A highly convenient and sustainable one-pot approach for the diversely-oriented synthesis of a variety of medicinally privileged amino-substituted 4,8-dihydropyrano[3,2-b]pyran-3-carbonitriles, and spiro[indoline-3,4'-pyrano[3,2-b]pyran]-3-carbonitrile/carboxylate derivatives on the basis of a domino three-component reaction of readily available carbonyl compounds including aryl aldehydes or isatins, active methylene compounds, and kojic acid as a Michael donor using secondary amine catalyst l-proline under ultrasound irradiation in aqueous ethanolic solution at ambient temperature has been developed. This methodology can involve the assembly of C-C, C[double bond, length as m-dash]C, C-O, C-N bonds via a one-pot operation, and following this protocol, a series of novel amino-substituted spiro[indeno[1,2-b]quinoxaline-11,4-pyrano[3,2-b]pyran]-3-carbonitrile/carboxylates have been synthesized. The practical utility of this method was found to be very efficient for scale-up reaction and other useful transformations. The methodology provides significant advantages including mild reaction conditions, energy-efficiency, short reaction time, fast reaction, simple work-up procedure, broad functional group tolerances, utilization of reusable catalyst, green solvent system, being metal-free, ligand-free, waste-free, inexpensive, etc. Excellent chemical yields have been achieved without using column chromatography. To address the issues of green and more sustainable chemistry, several metrics including Atom Economy (AE), Reaction Mass Efficiency (RME), Atom efficiency, E-factor, Process Mass Intensity (PMI), and Carbon Efficiency (CE) have been quantified for the present methodology that indicates the greenness of the present protocol.

Abstract
A three component catalyst system entailing an amino acid (O(t)Bu-L-threonine), a hydrogen bond donor (sulfamide), and an amine base (DMAP) allows α-branched aldehyde addition to nitroalkenes in good to high yield and excellent ee. Importantly, the lowest reported catalyst loading (5.0 mol%) and aldehyde stoichiometry (1.2-2.0 equiv) is demonstrated and in most instances the best current product profile is observed.
