Asymmetric synthesis of cyclic alpha-amino phosphonates using masked oxo sulfinimines (N-sulfinyl imines).

Five-, six-, and seven-membered cyclic alpha-amino phosphonates, amino acid surrogates, are prepared in enantiomerically pure form via the highly diastereomeric addition of metal phosphonates to masked oxo sulfinimines. Hydrolysis of the resulting masked oxo alpha-amino phosphonates followed by reduction of the intermediate cyclic imino phosphonates affords the title compounds in good yield.

Practical asymmetric synthesis of alpha-branched 2-piperazinylbenzylamines by 1,2-additions of organometallic reagents to N-tert-butanesulfinyl imines.

[reaction: see text] 2-[4-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)piperazinyl]benzylidene-tert-butanesulfinamides underwent nucleophilic 1,2-addition with different organometallic reagents to give highly diastereomerically enriched adducts. X-ray crystallography of the resulting alpha-branched N-Boc-2-piperazinylbenzyl-tert-butanesulfinamides confirms different mechanisms depending on the organometallic reagent used. Differential deprotection of the N-Boc and the tert-butanesulfinamides was investigated, and the dehydration byproducts have been identified and characterized. To avoid the formation of byproducts in the acidic deprotection step, the N-tert-butanesulfinamide group was converted to the corresponding N-tert-butanesulfonamide (Bus), which allowed for clean orthogonal deprotection. The efficient synthesis and deprotection of the N-Boc-2-piperazinylbenzyl-tert-butanesulfinamides herein described constitutes an attractive method for extensive structure-activity studies in the search for novel ligands of the human melanocortin 4 receptor.

ortho-Metalation of enantiopure aromatic sulfoxides and stereocontrolled addition to imines.

Enantiopure aromatic (phenyl, naphthyl) and heteroaromatic (pyridyl, quinolyl, diazinyl) sulfoxides have been synthesized by reaction of (S)-tert-butyl tert-butanethiosulfinate with aryl- or heteroaryllithium derivatives. The ortho-directed metalation of the sulfoxides was performed with lithium bases. Subsequent addition of the lithiated intermediates to N-tosylimines afforded tosylaminoalkyl tert-butylsulfinyl arenes. In most cases a complete asymmetric induction was highlighted in favor of (S,S) isomers. Heating the aminosulfoxides provided an original cyclization to form novel cyclic sulfenamides. A novel enantiopure synthesis of a benzylamine was described. An application of an enantiopure aminosulfoxide as N,S ligand for the asymmetric catalysis of allylic nucleophilic substitution has been successfully tested.

Diastereoselective arylithium addition to an alpha-trifluoromethyl imine. Practical synthesis of a potent cathepsin K inhibitor.

A practical, chromatography-free synthesis of potent cathepsin K inhibitor 1 is described. The addition of 4-bromophenyllithium to an alpha-trifluoromethylimine derived from commercially available (S)-leucinol was accomplished in a highly diastereoselective manner (97.6% de, 91% yield). Subsequent Suzuki cross-coupling afforded biaryl 7. Oxidation of the alcohol and sulfide functionalities led to the formation of carboxylic acid 8. Crystallization of 7 and acid 8 as its dicyclohexylamine salt gave excellent impurity rejection. The final amide coupling with commercially available aminoacetonitrile hydrochloride afforded 1 in excellent purity (99.6A% by HPLC, 100% de, <3 ppm Pd, W, Cr).

Reactive ketimino radical acceptors: intermolecular alkyl radical addition to imines with a phenolic hydroxyl group.

Intermolecular carbon radical addition to the carbon-nitrogen double bond of ketimines was studied. In the study on the reactivity of various aldimines, we found that the aldimine 7 having a phenolic hydroxyl group shows an excellent reactivity toward nucleophilic carbon radicals. A remarkable effect of phenolic hydroxyl group is assumed to be the stabilization of intermediate aminyl radical provided by a hydroxyl group. The screening of reactive ketimino acceptors showed that ketimines 15, 17, and 19 having a phenolic hydroxyl group exhibit excellent reactivities. The radical addition to ketimines 15, 17, and 19 took place regioselectively at the imino carbon to give the C-alkylated products without the formation of N-alkylated products. Enantioselective ethyl radical addition to ketimine 15 using chiral box ligand and Zn(OTf)2 gave the diethylated product 30 in 80% ee.

Mechanism and diastereoselectivity of aziridine formation from sulfur ylides and imines: a computational study.

A computational investigation of the title reaction involving semistabilized (R = Ph) and stabilized (R = CO2Me) sulfur ylides has been performed using DFT methods including a continuum model of solvent. Our results provide support for the generally accepted mechanism and are in very good agreement with observed cis/trans selectivities. This study shows that betaine formation is nonreversible, and that selectivity is thereby determined at the initial addition step, in the case of semistabilized ylides. Our analysis indicates moreover that addition TS structures are governed by the steric strain induced by the N-sulfonyl group, which favors the transoid approach in the case of syn betaine formation and the cisoid mode of addition in anti TSs. The observed low trans selectivity is accounted for by the favorable Coulombic interactions and stabilization by C-H...O hydrogen bonding allowed in the cisoid anti addition TS. In the case of stabilized ylides, the endothermicity of betaine formation combined with the high barrier to ring closure render the elimination step rate- and selectivity-determining. Accordingly, the low cis selectivity observed in stabilized ylide reactions is explained by the lower steric strain in the elimination step generated by the formation of the cis aziridine (as compared to the trans case).

Synthesis of 2-chloro-2-imidoylaziridines via aza-Darzens-type reaction of 3,3-dichloro-1-azaallylic anions and N-(arylsulfonyl)imines.

3,3-Dichloro-1-azaallylic anions, generated by deprotonation of alpha,alpha-dichloroketimines 10 with lithium diisopropylamide, reacted with N-sulfonylaldimines 7 to produce the Mannich-type products N-[2,2-dichloro-3-(N-alkylimino)-1,3-diarylpropyl]benzenesulfonamides 11. The latter stable compounds were hydrolyzed at the imino functionality to afford N-[2,2-dichloro-3-oxo-1,3-diarylpropyl]benzenesulfonamides 12 in excellent yields. N-[2,2-Dichloro-3-(N-alkylimino)-1,3-diarylpropyl]benzenesulfonamides 11 were cyclized to cis-3-aryl-2-chloro-2-imidoylaziridines 19 in 81-99% yield with high diastereoselectivity, representing a novel and readily available class of stable 2-chloroaziridines. Finally, a highly stereoselective entry to 2-(aminomethyl)-2-chloroaziridines 27 (70-98% yield; de > 95-99) was worked out from the reaction of cis-3-aryl-2-chloro-2-imidoylaziridines 19 and sodium cyanoborohydride in the presence of acetic acid. The latter 2-(aminomethyl)aziridines 27 represent stereochemically defined small azaheterocyclic rings which were scarcely reported in the literature.

Masked oxo sulfinimines (N-sulfinyl imines) in the asymmetric synthesis of proline and pipecolic acid derivatives.

[structure: see text]. On addition of Et2AlCN/i-PrOH, masked oxo sulfinimines give alpha-amino nitriles that afford oxo alpha-amino acids on hydrolysis. These amino acids cyclize and are reduced to cis proline and cis pipecolic acids derivatives in high ee and good yield. This new procedure avoids many of the limitations related to the preparation of oxo amino acids from proteinogenic amino acids.

Thiazolidin-4-one formation. Mechanistic and synthetic aspects of the reaction of imines and mercaptoacetic acid under microwave and conventional heating.

Microwave irradiation of a mixture of benzylidene-anilines and mercaptoacetic acid in benzene gives 1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones in very high yield (65-90%), whereas the same reaction performed through using the conventional method, at reflux temperature, requires a much longer time and gives a much lower yield (25-69%). This difference seems to be due to some intermediates and by-products formed during the conventional reaction. On the basis of 1H NMR studies, two different mechanisms, acting in benzene and in DMF, respectively, have been hypothesized for the thiazolidin-4-one system formation.

Radicals masquerading as electrophiles: a computational study of the intramolecular addition reactions of acyl radicals to imines.

Ab initio calculations using 6-311G**, cc-pVDZ, and aug-cc-pVDZ, with (MP2, QCISD, CCSD(T)) and without (UHF) electron correlation, and density functional methods (BHandHLYP and B3LYP) predict that cyclization of the 5-aza-5-hexenoyl and (E)-6-aza-5-hexenoyl radicals proceed to afford the 5-exo products. At the CCSD(T)/cc-pVDZ//BHandHLYP/cc-pVDZ level of theory, energy barriers (deltaE(double dagger)) of 36.1 and 47.0 kJ mol(-1) were calculated for the 5-exo and 6-endo pathways for the cyclization of the 5-aza-5-hexenoyl radical. On the other hand, at the same level of theory, deltaE(double dagger) of 38.9 and 45.4 kJ mol(-1) were obtained for the 5-exo and 6-endo cyclization modes of (E)-6-aza-5-hexenoyl radical, with exothermicities of about 27 and 110 kJ mol(-1) calculated for the exo and endo modes, respectively. Under suitable experimental conditions, the 6-endo cyclization product is likely to dominate. Analysis of the molecular orbitals involved in these ring-closure reactions indicate that both reactions at nitrogen are assisted by dual orbital interactions involving simultaneous SOMO-pi* and LP-pi* overlap in the transitions states. Interestingly, the (Z)-6-aza-5-hexenoyl radical, that cannot benefit from these dual orbital effects is predicted to ring-close exclusively in the 5-exo fashion.

Methyltrifluoropyruvate imines possessing N-oxalyl and N-phosphonoformyl groups--precursors to a variety of alpha-CF3-alpha-amino acid derivatives.

Convenient routes to methyl 2-oxalylimino- and 2-(phosphonoformimido)-3,3,3-trifluoropropanoates have been elaborated, based on the reaction of methyl trifluoropyruvate with ethyl oxamate or diethyl carbamoylphosphonate, respectively, followed by dehydration. The compounds obtained are useful synthetic intermediates toward a variety of novel 3,3,3-trifluoroalanine derivatives that are potential drug candidates.
