Article Abstract

Chiral imidodiphosphoric acids were employed as efficient catalysts in the enantioselective addition reaction of pyrrole and indoles to 3-vinylindoles. A series of optically active 1,1,1-triarylethmanes bearing quaternary stereocenters were synthesized in excellent yields (up to 99% yield) and enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). Gram-scale reactions of and as well as and demonstrated the synthetic utility of this methodology. Control experiments showed that the formation of a double H-bond between the catalyst and substrates is necessary for an excellent outcome.

Conformational Control of Organocatalyst in Strongly Brønsted-Acidic Metal-Organic Frameworks for Enantioselective Catalysis.

Chiral imidodiphosphates (IDPs) have emerged as strong Brønsted acid catalysts for many enantioselective processes. However, the dynamic transformation between O,O-syn and O,O-anti conformers typically results in low enantioselectivity. Here we demonstrate that topologies of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be exploited to control IDP conformations and local chiral microenvironments for enantioselective catalysis.

An efficacious method in which BINOL-type chiral imidodiphosphoric acid catalyzed the asymmetric [5 + 1] annulation reaction of 2-pyrrolylphenol with 1-methylindoline-2,3-dione was established. The strategy tolerated a broad substrate scope, and 30 examples were obtained. A range of enantioenriched spiro[3,2'-morpholine-oxindole] derivatives which incorporate a tertiary stereocenter, with moderate to excellent yields (up to 96%) and enantioselectivities (up to 99%) under mild conditions, was delivered.

The unique structure of oxyallyls represents a significant challenge for their catalytic asymmetric applications. Herein, an unprecedented chiral imidodiphosphoric acid-catalytic enantioselective (3 + 3) cycloaddition between oxyallyl zwitterions generated from α-haloketones and α-diazomethylphosphonates was developed. Pharmaceutically interesting chiral pyridazine-4()-ones were obtained in up to 98% yields with excellent stereoselectivities (up to 99% ee, > 99:1 dr).

The development of a stereoselective method for the rapid assembly of structurally complex molecules remains fascinating and challenging in synthetic organic chemistry. Here, we report an enantioselective domino reaction between 3-vinylindole and -quinone methide for the preparation of 3-indolyl cyclopenta[]indoles containing multiple chiral centers. Chiral imidodiphosphoric acids enable this cascade asymmetric process, delivering a series of products with excellent yields (≤99%), enantioselectivities (≤99%), and diastereoselectivities (≤20:1 dr).

A radical-based asymmetric olefin difunctionalization strategy for rapidly forging all-carbon quaternary stereocenters α to diverse azaarenes is reported. Under cooperative photoredox and chiral Brønsted acid catalysis, cyclopropylamines with α-branched 2-vinylazaarenes can undergo a sequential two-step radical process, furnishing various valuable chiral azaarene-substituted cyclopentanes. The use of the rigid and confined -symmetric imidodiphosphoric acid catalysts achieves high enantio- and diastereo-selectivities for these asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloadditions.
