Article Abstract

A trans-diastereoselective Pd-catalyzed dearomative [3 + 2] cycloaddition between vinylcyclopropane dicarboxylates and 3-nitroindoles has been developed. The reaction provides densely functionalized cyclopenta[b]indolines with versatile vinyl and nitro-groups. The addition of a halide additive was found to be critical for the diastereoselectivity of the reaction, which is proposed to be a result of a rapid π-σ-π interconversion between the intermediates allowing for Curtin-Hammett control. A switch in diastereoselectivity to afford products with the vinyl and nitro groups cis to each other is observed with a 4-substituted 3-nitroindole.

We herein report the development of a novel Pd-catalyzed dearomative functionalization of pyrroles with -difluorinated cyclopropanes (-FCPs). This dearomative/ring-opening strategy streamlines the diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) of α-quaternary 2-fluoroallylic 2-pyrroles with a broad scope and excellent functional group tolerance, which enables the efficient late-stage transformation of complex bioactive molecule-derived -FCPs. Derivation of the resulting fluoroallylic 2-pyrroles to different synthetically useful fluoroallylic 2-pyrrole motifs demonstrated the synthetic value of this methodology.

Pd-Catalyzed Asymmetric Intramolecular Dearomatizing Reductive Heck Reaction of Indoles.

An enantioselective Pd-catalyzed intramolecular dearomative reductive Heck reaction of -(-bromoaryl) indole-3-carboxamide is developed. By employing Pd(dba)/SPINOL-based phosphoramidite as the chiral catalyst and HCONa as the hydride source, a series of enantioenriched spiro indolines bearing vicinal stereocenters were afforded in moderate to good yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The reductive Heck reaction of formal tetrasubstituted alkene bearing β-hydrogens is therefore realized by inhibiting β-H elimination.

ConspectusPalladium catalysis, as one of the most important strategies in asymmetric synthesis, has continuously attracted the attention of organic chemists. With the development of chiral ligands, increasingly challenging reactions and substantial progress in asymmetric catalysis are being realized.Since 2014, we have focused on exploiting a series of sulfinamide phosphine ligands called "Sadphos," including Ming-Phos, Xu-Phos, Xiao-Phos, Xiang-Phos, TY-Phos, PC-Phos, GF-Phos, and WJ-Phos.

Pd-Catalyzed Intramolecular Dearomative [4 + 2] Cycloaddition of Naphthalenes with Arylalkynes.

A Pd-catalyzed intramolecular dearomative [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of naphthalenes with arylalkynes is developed. The protocol provides a straightforward method to access a range of polycyclic dihydronaphthalenes containing two vicinal all-carbon stereocenters in moderate yields under mild conditions in an air atmosphere. The deuterium labeling experiment suggests a pathway involving electrophilic dearomatization followed by Friedel-Crafts cyclization.
