ABSTRACT

Efficient catalytic methods that allow the use of simple and abundant chemical feedstocks for the preparation of synthetically versatile compounds are central to modern synthetic chemistry. Acetylene is a basic feedstock with a remarkable production over one million tons per year, although it is underutilized in the stereoselective synthesis of fine chemicals. Here we report a facile catalytic multicomponent reaction that allows for the enantio- and diastereoselective allylboration of acetylene gas. This process is catalyzed by a chiral copper catalyst, operates without specialized equipment or pressurization, and provides chiral skipped dienes bearing stereodefined and orthogonally functionalized olefins with excellent levels of chemo-, regio-, enantio- and diastereoselectivity. The combined stereochemical features and orthogonal functionalization make the products privileged structural scaffolds to access the complete set of stereoisomers of the chiral skipped diene core through simple enantio- and diastereodivergent pathways. The utility of the method is demonstrated with the enantioselective synthesis of three bioactive natural skipped diene products, namely (+)-Nyasol, (+)-Hinokiresinol and Phorbasin C, and other related synthetically relevant chiral molecules.

ABSTRACT

Catalytic methodologies that enable the synthesis of complex organic molecules from simple and readily available starting materials represent a goal in modern synthetic chemistry. In particular, multicomponent carboboration reactions that provide stereoselective access to densely functionalized building blocks are particularly valuable to achieve molecular diversity. This Perspective covers the developments in the area of catalytic allylboration of alkynes and highlights the key features that have allowed for the control of the regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity in these transformations.

ABSTRACT

Allylic gem-dichlorides are shown to be efficient substrates for catalytic asymmetric allylboration of alkynes. The method employs a chiral NHC-Cu catalyst capable of generating in a single step chiral skipped dienes bearing a Z-alkenyl chloride, a trisubstituted E-alkenyl boronate and a bis-allylic stereocenter with excellent levels of chemo-, regio- enantio- and diastereoselectivity. This high degree of functionalization makes these products versatile building blocks as illustrated with the synthesis of several optically active compounds. DFT calculations support the key presence of a metal cation bridge ligand-substrate interaction and account for the stereoselectivity outcome.

ABSTRACT

A copper-catalyzed protoboration of borylated dendralenes is reported. The method employs an NHC-Cu catalyst and provides access to 1,4-addition products with excellent levels of chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity. The resulting diene bis(boronates) are oxidized to the corresponding diene diols which are synthetically versatile building blocks.
