Summary

The aim of this study is to apply the highly enantioselective alkyne isomerization

reactions that is developed in our group to construct complex and usefull molucules

towards natural product synthesis.

We have found that a Brønsted-base catalyzed tandem isomerization-aza-Michael

reaction can be used to form useful heterocycles under mild conditions. This efficient

method was applied to the synthesis of various functionalized heterocycles with

excellent yields. Tandem isomerization-aza-Michael reaction with alkynyl-amines,

alkynyl-amide led to interesting piperidines and lactams. Asymmetric version of

tandem isomerization-aza-Michael reaction using alkynyl-amide was tested to give

high ee using a chiral bicyclic guanidine as a catalyst. Effort to synthesize larger ring

sized lactams was carried out although failed.

We have also found that chiral bicyclic guanidine could catalyze a tandem

isomerisation intramolecular-Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction. Interesting and useful

hydroisoquinolines were obtained with moderate to high ees. The chirality was

generated at the stage of alkyne isomerisation and transferred efficiently at the [4+2]

cyclization step. We have also successfully finished the first catalytic enantioselective

synthesis of alpha-yohimbine starting from the IMDA products.

1.1 General introduction to allene

Allenes are three-carbon functional groups possessing a 1, 2-diene moiety and

they are potential precursors in the synthesis of highly complex and strained target

molecules of biological and industrial importance. Allenes were first synthesized

in 1887,1 However, the structures were confirmed only in 1954.2 Surprisingly,

van’t Hoff, in 1875, was able to predict that unsymmetrically substituted allenes

should be chiral and exist in two enantiomeric forms.3 The initial development of

allene chemistry was severely impeded by limited synthetic methods and also the

false notion that such a 1, 2-diene functional group would be highly unstable.

Since the development of modern analytical technologies, especially IR and

Raman spectroscopy, allene chemistry is drawing more and more attention from

organic chemists. A lot of natural products with interesting biological activities

have been found containing the allene moiety (Scheme 1.1.1).4

As a class of unique compounds, allenes have two π-orbitals perpendicular to

each other. They have been shown to demonstrate nice reactivities as well as

selectivities, which can usually be tuned by electronic or steric effects or the

nature of the catalysts involved. They are ready to undergo either electrophilic

addition or nucleophilic addition (Scheme 1.1.2). Electrophilic addition may

afford terminal attack and central attack products. The regio- and stereoselectivity

depends on the steric and electronic effects of the substituents on the allene, the

nature of the electrophile and solvent effects. However, nucleophilic addition

usually occurs at the central carbon atom with few exceptions.

Electrophilic addition

Nucleophilic addition

Scheme 1.1.2 Two addition models of allenes

Allenes have also been shown to be great precursors for cycloaddition reactions.5

They are able to afford many complex and interesting molecules via various

cycloaddition reactions, such as [2+2], [3+2] and [4+2].5 Furthermore,

intramolecular type cycloaddition usually affords more complex and interesting

structures which may be synthetically useful in natural product synthesis.

This chapter will review the progress on intramolecular conjugate addition and

intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition of allenes.

Introduction

In 1987, the first example of intramolecular addition of alcohols to 1, 2-allenyl

sulfoxides was reported by Parsons et al.6 This offered an efficient route for the

preparation of hydropyrans and spiroketals, which are widely distributed in nature

and are found in molecules possessing a diverse range of biological activity.7

Scheme 1.2.1 Intramolecular Michael addition of alcohol to allene sulphoxide

When alcohol 5 was treated with sodium hydride in dry THF, 5-methyl

-6-(phenylsulfinylmethyl)-3, 4-dihydro-2H-pyran (6) was obtained in 97% yield

(Scheme 1.2.1). Similarly, when alcohol 7 was treated with sodium hydride in dry

THF, nucleophilic Michael addition occurred. After removal of the silyl protecting

group with HF in MeOH, an electrophilic addition was promoted when treating 8

with catalytic amount of CSA in DCM, which afforded the (4, 5)-spiroketal 9

(Scheme 1.2.1). An interesting compound 12 of a bicyclic pyran structure was

also obtained (Scheme 1.2.1). When diol 10, the deprotection product of 7, was

treated with PTSA in benzene, an electrophilic addition took place to produce 11

Page 23: TANDEM ISOMERIZATION REACTION OF ALKYNES: TOTAL … · 2018. 1. 10. · Synthesis of the chiral bicyclic guanidine . 149 Scheme 2.2.5 . Synthesis of alkynyl amide . 150 Scheme 2.2.6

in 88% yield. After treatment of 11 with sodium hydride in THF, the bicyclic

pyran 12 was obtained in 50% yield. However, the diastereoisomers are

inseparable.

Another investigation on 1, 2-allenyl sulfoxide cyclization was reported in 2001

by Mukai et al (Scheme 1.2.2).8 When alcohol 13 was subjected to the basic

condition tBuOK/tBuOH, nucleophilic addition to allene followed by double bond

migration occurred. Cyclic vinyl sulfoxides of different sizes, five to seven, were

formed in good yields. However, eight member ring product cannot be obtained

from the corresponding allenic sulfoxide.

Scheme 1.2.2 Cyclic vinyl sulfoxide and sulfone formation via intramolecular Michael

addition of alcohol to allenic sulphoxide and allenic sulfone

Allenic sulfonyl derivatives 15 were also successfully transformed into oxacycle

16 of different sizes (Scheme 1.2.2). Five membered to eight membered cyclic

vinyl sulfones were all achieved in good yields. When a substituent group was

attached to the other side of allene, substrates 17 and 18 were also smoothly

cyclized to form the eight membered oxacycles 19 and 20 without double bond

migration.

Introduction

Several examples of cyclizations of allenic alcohols to prepare 2,

5-dihydrofurans9 and furans10 have also been reported. Application of this

approach to phosphorus-containing allenes can pave the way to phosphorylated

furans and dihydrofurans. However, relatively little work have been performed on

the synthesis and study of intramolecular cyclization of phosphorylated allenic

carbinols.

In 2001, Brel reported an intramolecular oxa-Michael reaction of allenyl

phosphonates (Scheme 1.2.3).11 The glycols 21a–i were easily prepared from

Scheme 1.2.3 Intramolecular oxa-Michael reaction of allenyl phosphonates

propargylic alcohols and obtained as a mixture of two diastereomers (31P NMR

spectral data, in 1:1–1.4 ratio) resulting from the chirality of the allenic group.

They are stable compounds and can be handled at ambient temperature. However,

under basic conditions, they were cyclized to 2, 3-dihydrofurans via nucleophilic

addition of the terminal alcohol to the central carbon atom of the allene system.

Dihydrofurans 22a-f were obtained in good yields and high diastereoselectivities.

Treated under acidic condition, compounds 22a-f were easily transformed into

alpha-substituted furans 23a-f, which is a system that occurs in a number of

Page 25: TANDEM ISOMERIZATION REACTION OF ALKYNES: TOTAL … · 2018. 1. 10. · Synthesis of the chiral bicyclic guanidine . 149 Scheme 2.2.5 . Synthesis of alkynyl amide . 150 Scheme 2.2.6

natural products.12

Besides allenyl sulfoxides, allenyl sulfones and allenyl phosphonates, allenoates

and 1, 2-allenic ketones are also good Michael acceptors. In 1994, Nagao found

that treatment of diethyl (acetylamino)ethynylmalonate 24 with 1M KOH

afforded trisubstituted oxazole 26 (Scheme 1.2.4) via a new mode of 5-endo

cyclization of the resultant acetylaminoallenic ester intermediate 25.13 The

intermediate was generated from hydrolysis of the ethyl ester followed by

decarboxylation. Then the amide was enolized under basic condition and attack of

the oxygen to the central carbon of the allenoate afforded the final oxazole 26.

Scheme 1.2.4 Intramolecular Michael addition to allenotes

In the same paper, an electrophilic Michael addition of carbon atom to allenyl

ketone was also reported (Scheme 1.2.5).13 Allenyl aryl ketones 28a-g were easily

prepared via the nucleophilic attack of propargylmagnesium bromide to amides

27a-g. Under the treatment of a Lewis acid BF3-OEt2, 1, 2-allenyl ketones 28

undergoes 5-endo mode cyclization to benzocycloketones 29 and 30. In this

reaction, the presence of electron donating group on the aromatic moiety seems to

be essential. The regioselectivity was controlled by the steric interaction between

the aromatic substituents and the allenic moiety.

Scheme 1.2.5 Intramolecular Michael addition to allenic ketones, example 1

It was also found that allenyl aryl ketones are good substrates for the

construction of medium sized rings. Compounds 32, 33, 34, containing six, seven,

eight membered rings respectively, were all successfully achieved by tuning the

length of the tether connecting the aryl group and the carbonyl group.14 The

location of the C=C double bond in the products depended on the length of the

tether. This reaction proceeded through a cationic intermediate 35 which was

produced from the interaction of the Lewis acid with the carbonyl group. The

cationic intermediate 35 would attack the aromatic ring as an electrophile to

afford the 5-endo mode cyclization products.

In these reactions, the authors also found that the cyclization mode was

determined by the substitution pattern of the aryl ring.15 For example, if one or

both ortho-positions are occupied by a methoxy group like compound 36, the

spiro-endo mode cyclization product 37 was obtained (Scheme 1.2.6).

Scheme 1.2.6 Intramolecular Michael addition to allenic ketones, example 2

One limitation of the above reaction is that at least two methoxy groups are

required on the phenyl ring. In 1998, Hashimi et al found that when

4-methoxybenzyl-1,2-propadienyl ketone 38 was treated with 1 mol% of

Hg(ClO4)2 in MeCN and water, the spiro-endo cyclization product 39 was formed

in good yields (Scheme 1.2.7).16 They also found that the presence of water was

important. The reason for the high efficiency of Hg(II) was believed to be the high

coordination capability of Hg(II) ion to both the carbonyl oxygen and the terminal

double bond.

Introduction

10

For the intramolecular Michael reactions of allenes, both oxygen and carbon

atoms have been involved as nucleophiles. However, no examples of aza-Michael

reaction of allenes have been reported. This is probably due to the difficulty in

obtaining such a substrate. Instead, intramolecular conjugate additions of nitrogen

atom to allenes have been well developed. These reactions are usually

electrophilic additions and catalyzed by metals, especially silver ion. Products of

these reactions are usually pyrrolines,17 pyrroles,18 piperidines19 or pyridines,20

which are all biologically important heterocycles (Scheme 1.2.8).

When the amino allenes 42a and 42b were treated with a catalytic amount of

AgNO3 in acetone (25 °C, in the dark), 3-pyrrolines were obtained in good to

excellent yields.21 The reaction readily formed both simple and annulated

3-pyrrolines (43a and 43b). The procedure was very reliable and tolerant to a

wide range of substitution patterns. As expected, the reaction showed little

diastereoselectivity in the reaction of 42b.

Scheme 1.2.8 Intramolecular conjugate addition of nitrogen to allenes

The piperidine structure has also been achieved via intramolecular conjugate

addition of amine to allene.22 When the chiral allene 44 was treated with AgNO3,

the piperidine 45 was obtained in good yield and the natural product

(R)-(-)-Coniine was achieved in two more steps. The axial chirality of allene was

fully transferred to the central chirality of the product.

1.3 Intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions of allenes

Hydrogenation of one carbon-carbon double bond of allene will release an

enthalpy of 41 kcal/mol. This is 12 kcal/mol greater than the enthalpy of

hydrogenation of an ordinary alkene which is 29 kcal/mol. Accumulation of two

carbon-carbon double bonds imparts extra reactivity to the allene, which makes it

a remarkably active component participating in cycloaddition reactions.

Cycloaddition reactions are categorized according to assembly modes, such as

[m+n]-cycloaddition, where the variables m and n simply denote the number of

atoms that each component contributes to the ring construction. Among these

cycloaddition reactions, the [4+2] Diels-Alder reaction is the most important and

useful in natural product synthesis.23 Because it leads to increasing molecular

complexity, especially for intramolecular cyclization. As a result, the

intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of allene (either as dienophile or part of diene)

has been drawing greater attention from organic chemists.

Introduction

Allenes participate in the Diels-Alder type [4+2]-cycloaddition mostly as an

electron-deficient dienophile. The LUMO energy level of an allene is lowered by

the introduction of an electron-withdrawing unsaturated substituent. The largest

LUMO coefficient is located on the central carbon (C2) and the next largest is on

the substituted carbon (C1). Thus, Diels-Alder reaction of activated allenes takes

place at the internal carbon-carbon double bond of the allene (Figure 1.1).

Figure1.1 Allene models

When the allenic acid 46a and the allenic ester 46b were heated in refluxing

toluene, intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition between the diene and the internal

double bond of allene ouccurred to give two bicyclic compounds with exo-isomer

predominating (table 1.3.1).24 When a Lewis acid was used as a promoter, the

[4+2] cycloaddition can occur at 0 oC in DCM with an inverse in stereoselectivity

favouring the endo isomer.

Table 1.3.1 Intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition of allenic acid and ester

In the approach to synthesize Periplanone B developed by Cauwberghs and De

Clercq in 1988, an allene-furan substrate 49 was synthesized as intramolecular

Diels-Alder reaction substrate (Scheme 1.3.1).25 Upon treated in refluxing

benzene, compound 49 underwent an IMDA reaction to afford the expected exo

products 50 and 51 and an endo product (not identified). The transition states

leading to the IMDA products were proposed and it was found that compound 50

should be more thermally stable than compound 51 because of the equatorial

isopropyl group. Under thermal dynamic control in refluxing mesitylene, the less

stable compound 51 was found to cyclorevert to 50 and the ratio of 50:51 changed

from 5:4 to 2:1. The IMDA product 50 was converted to 52 via a series of

synthetic manipulations, which constituted a formal total synthesis of periplanone

53.

A benzene ring can act as the diene in intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition with

an activated allene. Aryl allene carboxylates 54 gave tricyclic lactons 55 in

moderate yields in xylene at reflux (Scheme 1.3.2).26 Allenyl amides were also

explored in the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction. Aromatic rings and furans

were used as the dienes and the allene acted as the dienophile.

In Harwood’s investigation towards the synthesis of a morphinan skeleton

(Scheme 1.3.3),27 the allenic amide 56 was designed as an intramolecular

Diels-Alder substrate and it was found that on standing at room temperature, 56

slowly underwent cycloaddition. However, the IMDA reaction was most

conveniently carried out in refluxing toluene, in which the reaction will be

finished in less than 2 h. Analysis of the crude material by NMR showed the

presence of single cycloadduct, the stereochemistry of which was initially

assigned to be the desired diastereoisomer 57 on the basis of coupling constants

and NOE difference studies.

Scheme 1.3.3 Intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of allenic amide, example 1

When compound 57 was treated with n-BuLi, the amino alcohol 58 was obtained

and its structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis, which further

confirmed the structure and stereochemistry of compound 57.

Scheme 1.3.4 Intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of allenic amide, example 2

In 1982, Himbert developed allenyl carboxanilides 59, of which the aromatic

rings acted as the diene to furnish the tricyclic lactams 60 in moderate to good

yields (Scheme 1.3.4).28 The tendency to form tricyclic lactams 60 was attributed

to the following factors: relatively easy formation of five-membered lactams,

partial activation of the benzene ring by the amino group, increased

energy-content of allene-systems relative to olefins, and comparatively high

rigidity in the allene and carboxamide moieties.

A furyl-substituted sulfonylallene readily undergoes a [4+2] cycloaddition to

give the IMDA adduct (Scheme 1.3.5). When the sulfonylallene 61 was heated in

refluxing benzene, the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction proceeded smoothly to

afford compound 62 in high yield.29 The rigid furyl diene was essential for the

Diels-Alder reaction to occur. When the furan ring was changed to an open diene,

under the same condition, compound 63 was transformed into 64 via a [2+2]

cycloaddition.

Scheme 1.3.5 Intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of sulfonyl allene

Nitrogen containing heterocycles are common and important constituents of a lot

of natural products. Considering the efficiency of IMDA reactions of allene in

constructing complex molecules, allenic amides and allenic carbonates have great

potential in natural product synthesis. In 1986, Kanematsu and co-workers

prepared alkynyl diene carbonate 65 and subjected it to Crabbe’ homologative

allenylation. The allenic diene carbonate 66 was thus formed, and it underwent

intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction spontaneously to afford the tetrahydroindole

67. Upon dehydrogenation with DDQ, 67 was oxidized to indole 68. Differently

substituted indoles can be synthesized via this sequence.30 The natural product

hippadine 69 was successfully synthesized (Scheme 1.3.6).31

Alkoxyallene is another type of allene that has been extensively studied. They

are usually generated from base-catalyzed isomerisation of propargyl ether to

allenyl ether. This kind of substrates usually generates furan rings after

cycloaddition. Treatment of the propargyl ether 70 with tBuOK in refluxing

tBuOH caused an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of the resulted intermediate

allenyl ether 71 to afford the tricyclic compounds 72, which isomerized to 73

spontaneously (Eq 1, Scheme 1.3.7).32 An asymmetric synthesis of benzofuran

lactone 74 was achieved by an analogous procedure (Eq 2,Scheme 1.3.7).33

Scheme 1.3.7 Intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of allenyl ether

An example of natural product synthesis involving allenyl ethers was reported by

Kanematsu and Soejims in 1991(Scheme 1.3.8).34 They managed to synthesize

euryfuran 80, which is a natural product possessing a synthetically challenging

structure of 3,4-disubstituted furan ring, via a furan ring transfer reaction with the

intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of allenyl ether as the key step. Compound 75,

when heated with potassium tert-butoxide, afforded the isomerisation product 76.

This allene underwent a spontaneous intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction in

tert-butanol at reflux to give compound 77. Deprotonation of α position of the

furan oxygen initiated a ring opening of the oxybridge in 77 to give the furan

transfer product 78. Repeating this process via the intermediate 79 led to the final

target euryfuran 80.

Scheme 1.3.8 Euryfuran synthesis via IMDA reaction of alkoxyallene

An asymmetric synthesis of the intermediate 84 of forskolin by Nagashima in

1990 also employed intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of allenyl ether (Scheme

1.3.9).35 Treatment of propargyl ether 81 with potassium tert-butoxide in refluxing

tert-butanol affords 83 as a single stereoisomer via the allenyl ether intermediate

82. Further transformation of compound 83 led to the intermediate 84, which was

readily transformed to forskolin.

Scheme 1.3.9 Total synthesis of Forskoin via intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of allenyl

ether

As a dienophile, an allene is able to cyclise not only with carbon dienes but also

heterodienes. Both intermolecular36 and intramolecular hetero-Diels-Alder

reactions of allenes have been developed.

An example of intramolecular hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of allene was reported

by Boger in 1991during their work toward the total synthesis of trikentrin 87

(Scheme 1.3.10).37 Treatment of 85 with acetic anhydride at 160 oC provided

indole derivatives via a cascade reaction, N-acylation followed by [4+2]

cycloaddition cascade followed by release of N2. Finally, deacetylation of 86 led

to the natural products, cis and trans (±) trikentrins 87.

1.3.2 Intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction with allenes as dienes

Vinylallenes are commonly used as the diene component in Diels-Alder

reactions, and thus they are ubiquitously used in natural product synthesis,

especially their intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction. The natural compound 90

Esperamicin A has been found to show great DNA binding and damaging

properties which are traced to the bicyclic core structure equipped with an

enediyne bridge. Vinylallene 88 was proposed by Schreiber and Kiessling to be a

biogenetic intermediate for the synthesis of the skeleton of esperamicin A

(Scheme 1.3.11).38 Although the proposed transformation (88–>89) was not really

tested, the synthetic approach to esperamicin A was modeled in which an

intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction was employed to synthesize the highly

unsaturated bicyclic core of 90.

Scheme 1.3.11 Proposal of the intramolecular-Diels-Alder reaction of vinylallene toward the

total synthesis of esperamicin A

Siloxyvinylallenes, which have been prepared by Reich et al in two ways, have

proved to be good candidates for Diels-Alder reaction in which the

siloxyvinylallenes act as the diene components.39 They are readily prepared by

addition of vinyllithium to α-chloroacylsilane followed by a Brook rearrangement.

The vinylallene 91 was reported to be unstable and was subjected to a Lewis acid

directly after preparation. It underwent intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to

afford the adduct 92 in 51% yield (Scheme 1.3.12). Both Lewis acid catalysis and

thermal conditions proved to be successful for the Diels-Alder reaction. The

cycloadduct 92 was subsequently converted to the natural product 93.

Scheme 1.3.12 Intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of vinylallene toward the total synthesis

of cis-Dehydrofukinone

(+)-Compactin 97 was synthesized by Keck and Kachensky via an

intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction which used a vinylallene as the diene

(Scheme 1.3.13).40 This work was done at a time when there was little literature

precedent on the use of vinylallenes as dienes. Model study figured that the

transition state for the Diels-Alder reaction of 94 would adopt a conformation to

give only the exo cycloaddition product. Thus, the intramolecular Diels-Alder

reaction perfectly constructed the bottom bicyclic structure. When compound 94

was heated at 140 oC for one hour in toluene in the presence of BHT, it afforded

the intermediate 95, which was immediately subjected to L-selectride to reduce

the ketone to alcohol to avoid the formation of a conjugated enone. The resulting

alcohol 96 was obtained as a 1:1 mixture of diastereomers in 84% yield. Although

the two diastereomers could be separated, their stereochemistry was unknown at

this point and both diastereomers were not separated until the end of the total

1.4 Summary

As an efficient and powerful tool for the construction of complex structures,

especially regarding natural product synthesis, intramolecular cyclization

reactions have been attracting more and more attention. As a class of reactive and

interesting compounds, allenes have been well employed in different kinds of

cyclizations. Excellent reactivity and selectivity have been achieved in these

reactions. Most of the enantioselective examples are based on chiral auxiliaries or

chiral starting materials. Some are developed under transition metal catalysis

using a chiral ligand. However, there are few examples of organocatalyst

catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular cyclization of allenes until now. The use

of chiral allenes in intramolecular cyclizations is rarely reported as well. Thus

catalytic enantioselective formation of allene towards natural product synthesis is

quite attractive. The following chapters will describe our recent work on chiral

allene formation followed by intramolecular Michael reaction and intramolecular

Diels-Alder reaction. The first catalytic enantioselective total synthesis of

α–yohimbine based on the intramolecualr Diels-Alder reaction will also be

decribed.

2.1 Different approaches for the preparation of piperidines and

lactams

2.1.1 Piperidines and Lactams in natural products

Azacycles are important heterocyclic systems which are commonly found in

natural products and valuable fine chemicals.1 In particular, functionalized

piperidines and pyridines are present in a variety of pharmacologically active

natural products including most of the alkaloids (Figure 2.1).2 The naturally

occurring cinchonine alkaloids, which are known for their highly enantioselective

catalytic activity in organic synthesis, have attracted increasing interest. These

piperidine containing natural products are synthetically challenging, because they

usually have several asymmetric centers present. Meanwhile, the most important

step in the synthesis of these natural products is usually the ring-closing step to

obtain the piperidine rings. A lot of attentions have been paid to the development

of piperidine formation methods resulting in great advancements being made in

this field.

(Scheme 2.1.1).2 Compound 102, the open chain form of compound 103, was

prepared from 101 via enzymatic transamination. Asymmetric hydrogenation of

compound 103 led to the natural alkaloid (+)-coniine 98. Hydroxylation of

compound 103 led to hydroxyl imine 104, which was hydrogenated to afford the

natural alkaloid 105 conhydrine.

Scheme 2.1.1 Piperidine formation via amine-ketone condensation

Another method to prepare piperidine was developed in 2000 by Kunio

Ogasawara (Scheme 2.1.2).3 This method employed ring closing metathesis (RCM)

to form the heterocycle. When the N-protected secondary amine 106 was

subjected to ring closing metathesis condition and then hydrogenation, the

N-protected piperidine 107 was achieved in 89% yield over two steps, which is

part of the natural product 100 (+)-febrifugine.

Scheme 2.1.2 Piperidine formation via ring closing metathesis

Intramolecular electrophilic addition of an amine to allene is another way to

construct piperidine rings. Cha and co-workers reported one example in 1999

(Scheme 2.1.3).4 When the diastereomerically pure aminoallene 108 was

subjected to a silver salt, silver nitrate, heterocyclization occurred via two

transition states 109 and 110. The desired products quinolizidine 111 and 112,

both possessing the desired E double bond geometry, were achieved in a ratio of

7:1. From the proposed transition states, we can see that 109 is more favored than

110 due to the steric repulsion between the silyl ether group and the allene tail.

Compound 111 was successfully converted to the target natural products

clavepictine A (113) and B (114).

Scheme 2.1.3 Piperidine formation via intramolecular electrophilic addition of amine to

allene

Trost B. M. and co-workers developed another route to synthesize piperidine in

2000 (Scheme 2.1.4).5 A ruthenium catalyst (10%) and a co-catalyst CH3AlCl2

were used. When allenyl amine 115 was subjected to a methyl vinyl ketone in the

presence of ruthenium and aluminum catalyst, compound 117 was achieved in

Page 49: TANDEM ISOMERIZATION REACTION OF ALKYNES: TOTAL … · 2018. 1. 10. · Synthesis of the chiral bicyclic guanidine . 149 Scheme 2.2.5 . Synthesis of alkynyl amide . 150 Scheme 2.2.6

67% yield. It was found that both the Ru catalyst and the CH3AlCl2 co-catalyst are

essential for the formation of the product. To achieve better yield, quenching with

pyrrolidine was required, which is believed to dissociate the coordination between

the product and the Ru catalyst. Both piperidines and pyrrolidines have been

achieved using this method.

Scheme 2.1.4 Piperidine formation via ruthenium catalysis

In the same year, Lee E. and co-workers developed a radical process to

synthesize such cyclic amines (Scheme 2.1.5).6 A protected secondary amine 118

was chosen as the substrate for the radical cyclization. The radical precursor can

be alkyl bromide or alkyl selenium. When compound 118 was subjected to the

radical initiator AIBN and the hydride reductant, a mixture of diastereoisomers

119 and 120 was achieved. The reaction tolerates both alkyl and aryl R

substituents. Pyrrolidines can be formed as well. Compound 121 (-)-indolizidine

223AB was synthesized employing two consecutive radical cyclization reactions

of aminoacrylate substrates.

Conversely, the cyclization of allenyl amides can occur under oxidative

condition as developed in 2000 by Jonasson and co-workers (Scheme 2.1.6).7

When the allenyl amide 122 was subjected to palladium catalyst and LiBr, an

intermediate of π-allyl palladium complex 124 was formed. After an

intramolecular nucleophilic addition of the nitrogen to the π-allyl palladium

system, the pyrrolidine product 123 was formed and Pd(II) was reduced to Pd(0),

which was reoxidized by copper acetate.

Scheme 2.1.5 Piperidine formation via radical cyclization

Scheme 2.1.6 Pyrrolidine formation via oxidative cyclization

In fact, this transformation can be achieved via cobalt mediated

acylation-cyclization of allenes as well (Scheme 2.1.7).8 When compound 125 was

subjected to the acetyltetracarbonylcobalt and the base diisopropylethylamine, the

five membered ring product 126 can be achieved via the intermediate 127.

Scheme 2.1.7 Pyrrolidine formation via cobalt mediated cyclization

Although first synthesized in 1907 by Staudinger, β- lactams were recognized in

organic chemistry only until Fleming’s discovery of penicillin in 1929.9 The

resulting recognition of the β- lactam moiety as the key pharmacophoric

component of the penam antibiotics initiated a flurry of synthetic activity.10 Today,

β-lactam rings are found in thousands of chiral compounds. Due to their high

efficacy and safe toxicological profiles, penicillin and its derivatives are still the

most commonly used antibiotics. The asymmetric synthesis of β- lactams usually

employs a [2+2] cycloaddition10 and one example is shown below (Scheme 2.1.8).

Scheme 2.1.8 β–lactam synthesis via [2+2]-cycloaddition

When an acid chloride 128 and an imine 129 were treated with the combination

of a cinchona alkaloid derivative such as benzoylquinine (BQ) and a

non-nucleophilic amine base, β- lactam products 130 were achieved in very high

ee and dr. Varieties of acid chlorides were tolerated in this process.

[2+2]-cyclization can lead to β–lactam only, 5-membered and 6-membered

lactams are formed via different methods.

In 2007, Che reported an intramolecular addition of β-ketoamide to unactivated

alkenes under gold catalysis, which led to the formation of 5-membered lactams

(Scheme 2.1.9).11 The reaction proceeded in toluene under mild condition. When

the β-ketoamide 131 was treated with the combination of a gold salt and a silver

salt, the alkene was activated by the gold and attacked by the enolate leading to

the formation of a 5-membered lactam 132.

Wei Ying and co-workers developed a convenient method for the synthesis of

6-membered lactams in 2010 (Scheme 2.1.10).12 Deprotonation of the starting

material 134 with a strong base NaH results in an aza-Michael reaction followed

by an electrophilic ring opening of the cyclopropane. After a double bond shift,

carbon anion 138 forms and condenses with an aldehyde to give the final product

135.

In summary, a lot of natural products and synthetic compounds with medical

potential are found containing heterocycles like piperidines and lactams. A great

number of methods have been developed towards the formation of such systems.

For the piperidine formation, either metal or harsh conditions were required. A

mild organo-catalytic method will thus be much more attractive. Furthermore, the

organo-catalytic enantioselective synthesis of six membered lactams is not

available. We are pleased to report our work on piperidine and axial chiral lactam

formation via organo-catalysis.

Alkynyl amines 141a-141c were synthesized as outlined in scheme 2.2.1.

Standard amide formation protocol between different anilines and pent-4-ynoic

acid afforded different alkynyl amides 139 in around 70% yield, which were then

between the alkyne moiety and diazo compounds,13 the desired compounds

141a-141c were obtained.

Treatment of alkynyl amines 141a-c with a brønsted base TBD formed the

products 142a-c in good yields (Scheme 2.2.2). Slightly long reaction time (24

hours) was required to ensure that the reaction proceeded to completion as the

products 142a-c were non-separable from their corresponding alkynyl-amines

141a-c.

Scheme 2.2.2 Brønsted-base catalyzed tandem isomerization-aza-Michael reaction of

alkynyl-amines 141. a Isolated yield

Since the reaction is base catalyzed and the starting material itself is a base, we

doubt whether self-catalyzed reaction is possible. For better understanding of

Scheme 2.2.3 Proposed mechanism for tandem isomerization-aza-Michael reaction of 141

the reaction, we subjected alkynyl-amine 141 to the same reaction conditions for

Page 55: TANDEM ISOMERIZATION REACTION OF ALKYNES: TOTAL … · 2018. 1. 10. · Synthesis of the chiral bicyclic guanidine . 149 Scheme 2.2.5 . Synthesis of alkynyl amide . 150 Scheme 2.2.6

one day without the presence of the base, TBD. The starting material was fully

recovered and no other product was obtained. Hence, the self-catalyzed reaction

mechanism was excluded. Therefore, we believe that the tandem isomerization-

aza-Michael reaction goes through the proposed pathway in Scheme 2.2.3.

Since we have been interested in the brønsted base, bicyclic chiral guanidine 149,

catalyzed asymmetric transformations, we expected that alkynyl amine 141c may

afford 142c with axial chirality when the reaction was catalyzed by our chiral

guanidine. The chirality was generated from the restricted rotation of the C-N

bond connecting the piperidine ring and the phenyl ring.

The chiral bicyclic guanidine was prepared by the well-established procedure

published by our lab.14 N-Tosyl aziridine 146 was readily prepared from its

corresponding commercially available α-amino alcohol 145 via a two-step process.

Triamine unit 147 was easily obtained by treating N-tosyl aziridine 146 in MeOH

saturated with NH3 gas in a sealed vessel. After removing the solvent, the residue

was dissolved in MeCN and refluxed for 3 days. The subsequent removal of tosyl

groups was conducted in liquid ammonia in the presence of sodium. After the

final cyclization step, the triamine intermediate was cyclized to give the chiral

bicyclic guanidine149 and basified with 5 M KOH aqueous solution or solid

K2CO3 (Scheme 2.2.4).

The alkynyl amine 141c was treated with bicyclic guanidine 149 in different

solvents and the results are summarized in Table 2.1. The reaction proceeded

fastest in DCM and reached completion in 24 hous, however, no enantioselectivity

was observed (Entry 1). Toluene gave 0% ee as well and a non-complete reaction

(Entry 2). Pleasingly, hexane gave 7 % ee and the best ee achieved was 27% in

THF. However, the starting material cannot be completely consumed in hexane

and THF even after 3 days. Since the starting material and the product cannot be

separated and the reaction cannot proceed to completion, no further study was

conducted.

Based on our discovery of the tandem isomerization-aza-Michael reaction,

especially the asymmetric reaction performed on alkynyl amine141C, We were

keen to achieve a high enantioselectivity by tuning the substrates. We have

demonstrated that 3-Alkynoates bearing a tButyl ester will afford highly

enantioselective allenes when treated with bicyclic guanidine. It is believed that

the axial chirality of the piperidine 142c was transferred from the chiral allene

which was generated in situ. The poor ee of 142c is probably due to the low

energy level that is required for the rotation of the C-N bond. We expected that the

energy level could be increased by adding hindering substituents. Thus we

synthesized the alkynyl amide 150 from 139b by alkyne and diazo compound

coupling (Scheme 2.2.5). We expected that the extra carbonyl group would help to

restrict the rotation.

Scheme 2.2.5 Synthesis of alkynyl amide 150

The alkynyl amide 150 was then treated with bicyclic guanidine 149 in different

solvents. Two cyclized products were detected, which were assigned as 151 and

152 by 1H NMR. The ratio between 151 and 152 on TLC was about 4:1.

Subsequently, by passing the reaction mixture through a silica gel column slowly,

cyclic compound 151 can be fully converted to lactam 152.

Optimization results are summarized in Table 2.2. Similarly, the fastest reaction

was observed in DCM, full conversion was observed after stirring at rt for 4 days

as indicated by TLC analysis. However, only moderate yield was obtained after

separated by column chromatography with 60% ee (Entry 1). The best

enantioselectivity was obtained in ether type solvents (Entry 3 and 5). Different

ethers were tested as well but THF still gave the best result (Entry 5, 8 and 9).

With THF as solvent, different concentrations were tested and it was found that

dilution led to very slow reaction time (Entry 6) while concentrated reaction

afforded much lower ee (Entry 7).

Having achieved the axial chiral lactam 152 with high enantiomeric purity, we

encountered some difficulty with the establishment of its absolute configuration.

Difficulty in obtaining single crystals for 152, together with the lack of heavy

atoms in 152 impeded absolute configuration determination via single crystal

X-ray diffraction.15 As a result, we had to derive the absolute configuration via

theoretical approaches. Reliable specific optical rotation can be calculated from

density functional theory (DFT) by considering thermally accessible

conformations and with judicious choice of basis set and functional coupled with

solvation model to account for solvent effects.16 The specific optical rotation for

152-Sa configuration calculated is -57.8, which agrees well with the -64.1

obtained experimentally.

In addition, we have investigated the mechanism via DFT calculation. The

enantioselective step is postulated to be the intramolecular Michael reaction. The

activation barriers for the relevant pathways are given in figure 2.2. Based on this

mechanism, the formation of Sa product is predicted to be more favourable than

the Ra product. The Gibbs free energy of activation difference (∆G‡) of the

pathways leading to the Sa lactam is 3.4 kcal/mol lower in Gibb free energy than

the pathway leading to the Ra lactam, which is consistent with the high ee

observed experimentally.

As an interesting axial chiral lactam, compound 152 is also a potentially useful

intermediate in organic synthesis. It will be extremely interesting if different ring

sized lactams, especially larger rings, can be achieved with similar axial chirality.

Different alkynyl amides and carbonates that might lead to larger rings were

synthesized as outlined in Scheme 2.2.6.

However, efforts to prepare atropisomeric lactams with different ring sizes were

not too successful. Upon exposure to bicyclic guanidine 149, alkynes 153-157

were unable to complete the intramolecular Michael reactions and provided the

corresponding enantio-enriched allenes, whose absolute configurations were

determined by the Lowe-Brewster rule (Scheme 2.2.7) .17

The observation of allenes when 153, 154, 155, 156 and 157 were used as

reactants suggests that the formation of 152 from 150 proceeds via an allene

intermediate.

2.3 Summary

In conclusion, we have found that a Brønsted-base catalyzed tandem

isomerization-aza-Michael reaction can be used to form useful heterocycles under

mild conditions. This efficient method was applied to the synthesis of

functionalized piperidine with good yields. Enantioselective tandem

isomerization-aza-Michael reaction of alkynyl-amide led to an axially chiral

lactam of high enantioselectivity when a chiral guanidine was used as the catalyst.

3.1 Introduction to the Synthesis of alpha-Yohimbine

Alpha-Yohimbine, also known as isoyohimbine, rauwolscine, and orynanthidine,

is an alkaloid found in various species within the genera Rauwolfia and

Pausinystalia (formerly known as Corynanthe).1 It is a stereoisomer of yohimbine.

Alpha-Yohimbine is a central nervous system stimulant, a local anesthetic and a

vague aphrodisiac.1 It acts predominantly as a α2-adrenergic receptor antagonist.2 It

has also been shown to function as a 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist and 5-HT2A,

5-HT2B receptor antagonist.3 Due to its important pharmacological effect and

synthetically challenging structure, chemists have paid considerable attention to the

synthesis of alpha-yohimbine. However, only limited numbers of successful

synthetic routes have been developed until now. There is no enantioselective total

synthesis available before this report.

During nineteen seventies, Tökel and co-workers did a lot of study on the

synthesis of yohimbines.4 During their work toward the total synthesis of

alloyohimbines, they found that alpha-yohimbine 170 was formed via

epimerization at C3 (Scheme 3.1.1).4c The synthesis started with the cyclization of

N-formyl tryptamine 160 using POCl3 under thermal condition, which delivered

compound 161 containing the A, B, C rings of the pentacyclic structure in

yohimbine bases. A Mannich reaction followed by an aza-Michael reaction

between 161 and 162 in refluxing EtOH formed the D ring with the necessary

substituents for further manipulation, affording the compound 163. Upon

condensation with diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate 164, a cyano group was

introduced to form the nitrile ester 165. Pd/C catalyzed hydrogenation afforded

two products 166a and 166b. The major product 166a is a trans isomer which was

transformed into yohimbine. The minor product 166b is a cis isomer which is a

potential candidate for allo-type yohimbines. Treatment of 166b with a strong

base, potassium tert-butyloxide in DMSO, afforded the pentacyclic compound

167 which contained nitrile and ketone moieties. Reduction of the ketone using

sodium boron hydride afforded two alcohols 168a and 168b in a ratio of 2:3.

As a final step in the synthesis, the nitrile group was converted to methyl ester by

first converting the nitrile in 168b to acid amide using hydrogen peroxide in

alkaline methanol. Subsequent refluxing with aqueous HCl afforded the free acid,

which was converted to methyl ester using diazomethane to afford the

3-epi-alpha-yohimbine 169 and certain amount of alpha-yohimbine 170. The

alpha-yohimbine was believed to have formed via the epimerization at C3 during

hydrolysis with aqueous HCl. Since the alpha-yohimbine was formed from a

minor isomer of the hydrogenation step, the yield was extremely low.

Following the work above, the same group developed a new route that gave

better yield for the synthesis of alloyohimbines (Scheme 3.1.2).4d The readily

available compound 163 was condensed with methyl cyanoacetate 171 in

triethylammonium acetate in the presence of phosphrous pentaoxide to form

compound 172. It was found that an epimerization at C20 occurred. Reduction

with sodium boron hydride in MeOH at 0 oC afforded the compound 173, which

was then converted to diacid 174 by hydrolysis and acidification. Decarboxylation

via boiling in DMF and esterification with methanolic HCl afforded the diester

175. The condensation between the two ester groups required highly dry condition

and as expected yielded 176 (36%) and 177 (30%) in similar yields. Reduction of

the ketone 177 with sodium boron hydride afforded a mixture of alloyohimbines,

but alpha-yohimbine 170 was obtained in only 6% yield.

Although route 2 is optimized and obtained much better yield as compared to

Chapter 3

51

Scheme 3.1.2 Total synthesis of alpha-yohimbine, route 2

route 1, alpha-yohimbine is still produced as a minor product and poor selectivity

is still obtained in several steps. These reasons result in the extremely low overall

yield for alpha-yohimbine.

Another contribution was made by Wenkert E. et al in 1979 (Scheme 3.1.3).5

They constructed a structure of indoloquinolizidine with necessary functional

groups in a quite efficient way. Condensation between nicotinaldehyde and

malonic acid under piperidine catalysis afforded an unsaturated acid which was

transformed into ester 180 with acidic MeOH. Alkylation of the ester with

tryptophyl bromide yielded the desired pyridinium salt 181, which was attacked

by dimethyl sodiomalonate at the γ-position to afford the tetracycle 182. Since

only two ester groups were required, iodide- induced demethylation was

performed on 182, and the diester 183 was obtained in good yield. Reduction of

the diene moiety was done with sodium boron hydride which afforded a mixture

of 184, 185 and 186. Hydrogenation converted 184 to 185 and 186 in almost the

same yields. Direct hydrogenation of 183 would similarly lead to formation of

185 and 186, however, the yield for 186 is considerably low. Then compound 186

was epimerized via mercury acetate oxidation and NaBH4 reduction to 175, which

had been transformed to alpha-yohimbine in Scheme 3.1.2.

Until date, Martin S. F. and coworkers developed the most efficient method

toward the synthesis of alpha-yohimbine.6 They employed an intramolecular-

Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction as the key step to construct the D, E rings and ring

Page 71: TANDEM ISOMERIZATION REACTION OF ALKYNES: TOTAL … · 2018. 1. 10. · Synthesis of the chiral bicyclic guanidine . 149 Scheme 2.2.5 . Synthesis of alkynyl amide . 150 Scheme 2.2.6

C was formed via mercury catalyzed oxidative cyclization.

Scheme 3.1.4 Total synthesis of alpha-yohimbine, route 4

As shown in Scheme 3.1.4, the amide 192 required for intramolecular-Diels-

Alder reaction was conveniently prepared in six direct steps. Subsequent

thermolysis of 192 in xylene at reflux proceeded smoothly to afford the

cycloadduct 193. The next stage is to set the functionality on the ring E.

Regioselective epoxidation and subsequent epoxide opening installed the required

alcohol that was present in the final product (193-195). The MOM protected

alcohol was then deprotected and oxidized. The following esterification afforded

the methyl ester group that was present in alpha-yohimbine (196-197). Under H2

in the presence of Pd(OH)2, the benzyl protecting was removed together with the

side chain of ester which was used as a nucleophile to open the epoxide. With the

free amine, the indole moiety was installed by alkylation to afford compound 200.

Finally, an oxidative cyclization and reduction sequence led to the final product

alpha-yohimbine 170.

In conclusion, as a pharmacologically and synthetically important natural

compound, alpha-yohimbine has attracted considerable attention of chemists.

Most of the present synthetic routes are developed during the synthesis of other

yohimbines and the overall yields are quite low. The route by Martin S. F. was the

most direct completing the synthesis in 19 steps, which is considerably reasonable.

There has been no reports on enantioselective synthesis of alpha-yohimbine. We

would like to introduce our work on bicyclic guanidine catalyzed

intramolecular-Diels-Alder reaction of alkynoates: the first enantioselective

synthesis of alpha-yohimbine, which was achieved via a shorter and more

efficient route.

3.2 Tandem isomerisation intromolecular-Diels-Alder (IMDA)

reaction of alkynoates: total synthesis of (+)-alpha-yohimbine

Our initial plan was based on the work of tandem isomerisation

Page 73: TANDEM ISOMERIZATION REACTION OF ALKYNES: TOTAL … · 2018. 1. 10. · Synthesis of the chiral bicyclic guanidine . 149 Scheme 2.2.5 . Synthesis of alkynyl amide . 150 Scheme 2.2.6

intramolecular-aza-Michael reaction of alkynoates (Eq 1, Scheme 3.2.1). We were

interested to develop an intramolecular-Diels-Alder reaction using the in-situ

generated chiral allenes, which will produce hydroisoquinoline derivatives (Eq 2,

Scheme 3.2.1).

Scheme 3.2.1 Initial plan for the construction of hydroisoquinoline derivative - core

structure of yohimbines

3.2.1 Synthesis of intramolecular-Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction substrates

First, some Diels-Alder substrates were synthesized with open dienes (Scheme

3.2.2). Alkynyl amide 201 was then synthesized via amide coupling between (2E,

4E)-hexa-2, 4-dienoic acid and propargyl amine followed by coupling between

terminal alkyne and diazo compound. Alkynyl amide 202 was synthesized in

similar way as previously mentioned. The two compounds were both obtained

together with small amount of allenes. Since the amide and allene are inseperable,

they were not characterized and were treated with TBD in DCM together.

However, no cyclization occurred and only allene was obtained. Further thermal

treatment of the allene in toluene under reflux did not result in any reaction.

Scheme 3.2.2 Synthesis of IMDA substrates containing opening diene

As such, we begin to focus on alkynyl amides with cyclic diene moiety.

Substrates with a furan ring and an alkyne can be easily obtained by the protocol

as outlined in Scheme 3.2.3.

Scheme 3.2.3 Synthesis of IMDA substrates containing cyclic diene

The synthesis begins with an SN2 substitution between furfuryl amine and

propargyl bromide in the presence of 1 eq lithium hydroxide. To minimize the

production of disubstituted product 205, 3 eq of furfuryl amine was used.

Page 75: TANDEM ISOMERIZATION REACTION OF ALKYNES: TOTAL … · 2018. 1. 10. · Synthesis of the chiral bicyclic guanidine . 149 Scheme 2.2.5 . Synthesis of alkynyl amide . 150 Scheme 2.2.6

Chapter 3

57

However, compound 205 was still formed in 10% yield. The desired product 206

was obtained in 80% yield. Then the secondary amine 206 was protected with an

amine protecting group (Table 3.1), such as Pivaloyl. Majority of this protecting

step uses the condition as described in Scheme 3.2.3. However, there are a few

substrates, which employ conditions that are different and can be found in chapter

4. Amides 207 are obtained in considerably good yields. Finally coupling between

terminal alkyne and diazo compounds afforded the desired IMDA subsrates 208.

In our previous cases,7 the coupling step always produced some allene as

inseperable by-products. However, we did not observe any allene and isolated

only the intramolecular-Diels-Alder cycladdition products.

3.2.2 Optimization study of the intramolecular-Diels-Alder reaction

These new substrates were subjected to our catalyst, bicyclic guanidine.

Pleasingly, guanidine was found to promote the intramolecular-Diels-Alder

(IMDA) reaction and the IMDA products were obtained in good yields, moderate

dr, and moderate to good ee.

During our initial study, we screened different solvents for this IMDA reaction

using 208a as a model substrate (Table 3.1). The reaction is generally a bit slow.

Chlorinated solvent (DCM) led to very low enantioselectivity (Entry 3) although

the reaction was a bit faster. Toluene, hexane and ether type solvents (THF and

diethyl ether) resulted in ees of same level. However, all of the ees were only

moderate. From prior experience, we postulated that the size of the ester group

Page 76: TANDEM ISOMERIZATION REACTION OF ALKYNES: TOTAL … · 2018. 1. 10. · Synthesis of the chiral bicyclic guanidine . 149 Scheme 2.2.5 . Synthesis of alkynyl amide . 150 Scheme 2.2.6

could affect the enantioselectivity thus we changed the ethyl ester to a tert-Butyl

The ee was increased by about 20% in Hexane (Entry 5, Table 3.1 vs Entry 6,

best ee so far. Other ether-type solvents were screened as well, and TBME gave

similar enantioselectivity (Entry 10). Preliminary screening with various

concentrations indicated that a change in concentration would lead to a drop in ee

(Entry 10-12). We also attempted to lower the temperature but the reaction

became extremely slow and the ee was not increased. Different catalyst loadings

were also screened but the enantioselectivitives were not improved as well.

Finally, we decided to choose hexane as reaction solvent because it is cheap and

not as volatile as diethyl ether. Substrates bearing different protecting groups were

Different N protecting groups led to slightly different reaction rates and ees

(Entry 2-8). The best result was achieved with the Boc protecting group, when a

triethyl methyl type ester was employed (Entry 9). When the nitrogen atom was

protected using tosyl group, the reaction rate increases probably due to the strong

electron withdrawing ability of sulfonyl group, but the ee obtained was bad.

Majority of the two diastereoisomers can be separated via chromatography on

silica gel. The IMDA products of 208e and 208g can be obtained only as

diastereoisomer mixtures. We confirmed the IMDA products 208ba and 208ca by

X-ray analysis (Scheme 3.2.3) and 1H NMR and 13C NMR analysis. We failed to

obtain any X-ray structure of the cis IMDA product, instead we obtained the X-ray

structure of the hydrogenation product of compound 208bb, which can also help

to determine the structure of the cis compound.

3.2.3 Enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-alpha-yohimbine

To achieve the synthesis of the natural product alpha-yohimbine 170, we

designed the substrate 208g. The indole moiety was installed as a protecting group

to facilitate the IMDA reaction. The IMDA products contain all the elements that

are required in alpha-yohimbine. The natural product synthesis can be completed

in a few steps with first cyclization to form the ring C, followed by amide

reduction, olefin hydrogenation and transesterification. We proceeded to attempt

the total synthesis with 208ga according to the route as discussed (Scheme 3.2.5).

Scheme 3.2.5 Intramolecular-Diels-Alder reaction of substrate 208g and manipulation on the

IMDA product 208ga

We first attempted to cyclise the IMDA product 208ga via oxidative cyclization

which has been used to form the ring C by the oxidation of tertiary amine to

iminium.6 However, the amide oxidation did not work. As such, we decided to

reduce the amide instead. IMDA products are generally not stable probably due to

the double bonds. Hydrogenation of 208ga gave 210 in good yield. The amide

210 was subjected to kinds of conditions for tertiary amide reduction, like borane,

sodium boron hydride in the presence of Lewis acid, Hantzsch ester in the

presence of Tf2O, Silane in the presence of zinc acetate. But all of these

conditions did not work. Compound 210 was either recovered or decomposed.

The strong reducing reagents LiAlH4 did reduce the amide to amine, however, the

ester was reduced together, which results in a very polar compound. The change

Page 81: TANDEM ISOMERIZATION REACTION OF ALKYNES: TOTAL … · 2018. 1. 10. · Synthesis of the chiral bicyclic guanidine . 149 Scheme 2.2.5 . Synthesis of alkynyl amide . 150 Scheme 2.2.6

Chapter 3

63

in oxidation state of the compound made the route not appealing.

Manipulation on other IMDA products was then planed. Deprotection of the

nitrogen atom followed by alkylation or reductive amination should install the

indole moiety without an oxidation state change. Compound 208ca was selected

to be the desired starting point due to the easy removal of Boc group as well as its

high ee (Scheme 3.2.6).

Scheme 3.2.6 Attempt on the total synthesis starting with compound 208ca

IMDA product 208ca was hydrogenated to afford two compounds 211 and 212

in a ratio of 1:4 in quantitative yield. Then the main product 212 was treated with

TFA in DCM to remove the Boc protecting group. Temperature and amount of

TFA have been screened. It was found that the reaction in a mixture of TFA and

DCM (volume ratio of 1:4) at 0 oC for 10 minutes, gave the free amine 213 in the

best yield (80%). Less TFA resulted in a longer reaction time. Longer reaction

Page 82: TANDEM ISOMERIZATION REACTION OF ALKYNES: TOTAL … · 2018. 1. 10. · Synthesis of the chiral bicyclic guanidine . 149 Scheme 2.2.5 . Synthesis of alkynyl amide . 150 Scheme 2.2.6

64

time and high temperature resulted in the reaction of tert-butyl ester with TFA.

The tert-butyl ester was changed to carboxylic acid resulting in a lower yield of

the amine.

Secondary amine 213 was not purified and used directly after quenching and

extraction. Alkylation of the amine with tryptophyl bromide in DMF or MeCN in

the presence of K2CO3, afforded compound 214 in quite low yield (around 20%).

The reason is probably the oxa-bridge reduced the nucleophilicity of the nitrogen

atom. Then reductive amination using 2-(1-H-indol-3-yl)-acetaldehyde was

carried out. The condition was reported by Eric. N. Jacobsen during their

synthesis of yohimbine.9 Compound 214 was obtained in 60% yield. The

transesterification proceeded smoothly in the presence of 1 eq of CSA in refluxing

MeOH and the methyl ester 215 was achieved in 80% yield. Then the oxidative

cyclization using mercury acetate followed by NaBH4 reduction was employed to

form the ring C. Two products 216 and 217 were achieved in same yield (30%).

Compound 217 was the desired product.

In order to attain the hydroxyl group at C-18, the oxa-bridge has to be opened.

Initially Lewis acid, such as ZrCl4, and BF3 were attempted, but these were not

strong enough, only the starting material 217 was recovered. Stronger Lewis acid

BCl3 led to a messy reaction at -20 oC, and no product could be isolated. The

temperature was lowered to -78 oC but there was no reaction. Brønsted acids such

as HCl and HBr were used in EA and in toluene respectively but these did not

Page 83: TANDEM ISOMERIZATION REACTION OF ALKYNES: TOTAL … · 2018. 1. 10. · Synthesis of the chiral bicyclic guanidine . 149 Scheme 2.2.5 . Synthesis of alkynyl amide . 150 Scheme 2.2.6

65

work as well and no reaction was observed. Finally, it was found that

trifluoromethanesulfonic acid could promote the ring opening with DCM as

solvent. On closer analysis of the structure with NMR (1H, 13C, COSY, HMQC,

NOESY), we confirmed that the compound is 218. However, the hydroxyl group

was formed at C20 instead of C17. This result can be explained by the

neighboring carbonyl stabilization of the carbon cation intermediate 219 (scheme

3.2.7).

Scheme 3.2.7 Ring opening of compound 217 with triflic acid

So far, we observed that in acid catalysis, the carbon cation prefers to form at

C-17 rather than C-20 and alpha-yohimbine was not possible to achieve via this

route. As such, we decided to take a different approach and open the oxabicyclic

ring with a nucleophile before the double bonds were reduced.

Different conditions have been screened, however, in most results either no

reaction was observed or the starting material was decomposed and no isolation of

product was possible (Entry 1-8, Table 3.4). The palladium-catalyzed

hydrostannation of olefin led to 50% yield of 220, which would afford a tertiary

alcohol instead of the desired secondary alcohol after destannation (Entry 9).

Finally, the desired product 221 was obtained via nickel catalyzed reductive

oxabicyclic ring opening with DIBAL-H as hydride source (Entry 10). Due to the

Page 84: TANDEM ISOMERIZATION REACTION OF ALKYNES: TOTAL … · 2018. 1. 10. · Synthesis of the chiral bicyclic guanidine . 149 Scheme 2.2.5 . Synthesis of alkynyl amide . 150 Scheme 2.2.6

The reaction using Ni(COD)2 and DIBAL-H system was very fast. Catalytic

amount of Ni(COD)2 led to quite low yield (Entry 1-2, Table 3.5). Increase in the

catalyst loading gave better yield (Entry 4). Excess of DIBAL-H would decrease

the yield because of the side reaction of ester reduction (Entry 3). Actually, side

product from olefin hydroalumination was also detected via LCMS. The best yield

Compound 221 is found to be unstable as after standing at rt or even -30 oC for

overnight, new spots were observed on TLC. Direct hydrogenation of compound

221 led to messy reaction. Thus, the alcohol was protected with acetyl group

using 1.5 eq of acetic anhydride with DMAP as catalyst in the presence of 1.5 eq

of Et3N (Scheme 3.2.8). The O-protected product 222 was obtained in 80% yield

with no ee change.

Scheme 3.2.8 Protection of alcohol group in compound 221

Having achieved compound 222, we aimed to reduce the two double bonds. It

was speculated that the bulky tert-butyl ester group would help to form the

desired product 223 during heterogeneous hydrogenation. Unfortunately, only a

mixture of two diastereoisomers that could not be separated was obtained and the

By ESI mass analysis, it was found that there was always a monohydrogenated

product 225, which could not be isolated and its double bond could not be located.

By crude 1H NMR analysis, its ratio could be determined. The stereochemistry of

compounds 223 and 224 cannot be determined at this stage but the

stereochemistry of the major product 223 was later determined. A brief catalyst

screening indicated that Pt/C is better than Pd/C and Pd(OH)2/C in the perspective

of reaction rate and diastereoselectivity (Entry 2-4). More catalyst loading and

higher temperature increased the reaction rate significantly (Entry1-2, 6-7). When

using more Pt/C, a decrease of dr was observed (Entry 5). Finally, the condition of

50 wt% Pt/C at 70 oC was used for the hydrogenation, which afforded the

products with 10% of compound 225 and a dr (223:224) of 8:1.

The products of this step are not separable and they were used together in the

following synthesis. With this result and our previous experience in hand, we

carried out the rest synthesis without much problem (Scheme 3.2.9).

Scheme 3.2.9 Total synthesis of (+)-alpha-yohimbine starting from 208ca

The inseparable mixture of 223 and 224 was treated with TFA in DCM at 0 oC,

which afforded an inseparable diisomer mixture of free amine 226 (dr 8:1). The

amine was confirmed via crude 1H NMR analysis and ESI mass analysis. Without

purification, the mixture 226 was used in the reductive amination step directly.

Unfortunately, the product 227 was inseparable again from the by-product

2-(1H-indol-3-yl) ethanol that was generated from the reduction of

2-(1H-indol-3-yl) acetaldehyde. The mixture of 227 and 2-(1-H-indol-3-yl)

ethanol was isolated via flushing silica gel chromatography and used together in

the transesterification step. When the mixture was treated with CSA in refluxing

MeOH in a sealed tube, the acetyl group was cleaved and the tert-butyl ester was

converted to methyl ester together, which afforded 228 in 31% yield over four

steps. An increase in ee was observed during the analysis of compound 228 with

chiral HPLC, the ee increased from 79% of IMDA product 209ca to 85% of

compound 228. The compound 228 was fully characterized and the

stereochemistry was established by NOESY analysis and also confirmed by

comparing the 1H, 13C NMR with the reported data.6 The oxidative cyclization

followed by NaBH4 reduction was subsequently carried out to finish the total

synthesis of (+)-alpha-yohimbine. The final product was also fully characterized

and confirmed by comparing the NMR data with the reported one.6

Since the ee of the starting IMDA product 208ca is 79% only, the total synthesis

was carried out starting from IMDA products 208ha and 208hb (Scheme 3.2.10).

which are inseparable. When the mixture of 208ha and 208hb was treated with

Ni(COD)2 and DIBAL-H, two products 229 and 230 were obtained. By

comparing the NMR data with that of compound 221, the trans isomer can be

identified. The synthesis was completed in the same sequence as above. However,

the ee for compound 228 was not increased and almost same as in scheme 3.2.9.

The yield dropped to 20% over the four-step sequence. This is probably due to the

low distereoselectivity (3.5:1) at the hydrogenation step.

3.3 Summary

In conclusion, we have found that a Brønsted-base catalyzed tandem

isomerisation intramolecular-Diels-Alder reaction can be used to form useful

hydroisoquinoline derivatives under mild conditions. The IMDA products have

been obtained in moderate to high enantiomeric purity. This efficient method was

successfully applied to the catalytic enantioselective total synthesis of

(+)-alpha-yohimbine.

aniline (3.4 mmol) in THF (5 ml) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred

at rt for 18 hrs. The reaction mixture was filtered and the solvent was removed

under reduced pressure. The residue was purified via flash chromatography.

Amide 139a was obtained in 70% yield.

Then in a 50 ml dry rbf equipped with a condenser, amide 139a (2 mmol) was

dissolved in 10 ml dry THF under N2, cooled to 0 oC, LiAlH4 (5 mmol) was

added. The mixture was refluxed at 70 oC overnight, and was then cooled to 0 oC,

quenched with 1ml water, stirred untill a white solid was formed. Then the solid

was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated to afford the crude 140a.

Compound 140a was mixed together with 2 mmol of ethyl diazoacetate in 4 ml

MeCN under N2. Then 0.2 mmol of copper iodide was added. The mixture was

stirred overnight and the reaction was monitored with TLC until starting material

was consumed. After concentrated under reduced pressure, the mixture was

purified via chromatography on silco gel. Compound 141a was obtained in 60%

4.3 Preparation and characterization of compounds for the IMDA

reaction

5.3.1 Synthesis and Characterizations of IMDA substrates

To a flame-dried 50 ml rbf, (2E,4E)-hexa-2,4-dienoic acid (2.9 mmol) and 5 ml

THF was added under N2. This is followed by DCC (3.2 mmol) and HOBT (3.2

mmol). Finally, propargyl amine (3.4 mmol) in THF (5 ml) was added and the

reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 18 hrs. The reaction mixture was filtered and

the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified via

flash chromatography. The resulting (2E,4E)-N-(prop-2-ynyl)hexa-2,4-

dienamide was obtained in 70% yield. The amide was then subjected to tButyl

diazoacetate catalyzed by CuI to afford comound 201 together with certain

amount of inseparable allene in 60% yield.

Representative procedure for the synthesis of IMDA substrates:

Step 1: To a 200 ml rbf was added a stirring bar, 10 mmol LiOH.H2O and 10 ml

DMF (AR grade), followed by the addition of 30 mmol Furfurylamine 6. The

mixture was stirred vigorously. Then 10 mmol propargyl bromide 7 in 30 ml

DMF was added slowly during 1 hour. After stirred for another 3 hours, the

mixture was filtered through clite via sucktion and was washed thoroughly with

Diethyl Ether. The filtrate was washed four times with water. The combined

aqueous layer was extracted again with Diethyl Ether and the combined organic

layers were washed with brine and dried over sodium sulphate, concentrated via

rotary evaporation and purified by flushing silica gel chromatography

(Hexane:EA=6:1). The product 8 was obtained as pale yellow oil in 80% yield.

(Due to the low boiling point, 8 cannot be dried under vacumn and it was dried

only under rotary evaporation)

Step 2: To a solution of 8 (8 mmol) in dry DCM (50 mL) under nitrogen

atmosphere was added Et3N (8.8 mmol, 1.1 eq). After the mixture was cooled to 0

oC, pivaloyl chloride was added dropwisely. Then the reaction mixture was

warmed to rt and stirred till full conversion indicated by TLC (usually around 1

hour). The product was obtained as colorless oil in 95% yield by flushing silica

gel chromatography purification. (Other substrates were prepared in the same way

but with different acid chlorides or anhydrides)

Step 3: (take 10a for example) Compound 9 (6 mmol) was dissolved in MeCN

(AR grade) under N2, and 0.6 mmol CuI was added to the solution. The mixture

was stirred for 10 minutes. Then ethyl diazoacetate(9 mmol) was added and the

mixture was stirred under N2 for 10 hours. Check TLC to ensure full conversion

of starting material 9 (if not, add a bit more diazo compound and stirred till

completion). Rotary evaporate to remove solvent and load the mixture to silica gel

column. After chromatography purification, the product 10a was obtained as

colorless oil in 75% yield. The IMDA products (10aa and 10ab) were obtained

together in around 10% yields. (Other IMDA substrates were prepared in the same

way but with appropriate alkynes and dizao-compounds.)

4.3.2 Representative Procedure for Bicyclic guanidine catalyzed IMDA

reactions and Characterizations of IMDA products

Substrate 208 (2 mmol) was dissolved in 100ml distilled hexane. Then bicyclic

guanidine catalyst was added and the mixture was stirred at rt for appropriate days

when TLC showed the starting material was almost completely consumed. The

solvent was removed via rotary evaporation; further purification was completed

by flushing silica gel chromatography. The products were obtained in 72-88%

yields. The two diisomers can be separated by flushing silica gel chromatography

for most of the substrates. For 208e, 208h, 208i, the IMDA product diisomers

cannot be separated by silica gel chromatography, and the products were

characterized by checking the crude 1H NMR. The IMDA products of 208h were

characterized after reductive ring opening.

In glovebox, to a100ml rbf was add 208ca (2 mmol), then 8 mmol of PPh3 and 2

mmol of Ni(COD)2 was added. The mixture was dissolved in 20 ml dry toluene.

After stirring in glovebox for 1 hour at rt, the rbf was sealed with a rubber septum

and taken out of the glovebox. Under protection of N2 balloon, the mixture was

cooded to 0oC. 2.5 mmol DIBAL-H (1 M in toluene) was diluted with 20 ml dry

toluene and was added to the mixture slowly during 1 hour using a syringe pump.

After addition, the reaction was monitored with TLC, if there is still a lot of

starting material (due to the inaccurate concentration) remained. A bit more

DIBAL-H should be added to ensure full conversion. After full conversion, the

reaction mixture was quenched with saturated NH4Cl solution, and was extracted

with DCM (4x50 ml), the combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4,

concentrated and purified by flushing silica gel chromatography. 221 was

obtained as colorless oil in 50% yield.
