Abstract

Iridium-catalyzed asymmetric ring-opening of oxabenzonorbornadienes with N-substituted piperazines was described. The reaction afforded the corresponding ring-opening products in high yields and moderate enantioselectivities in the presence of 2.5 mol % [Ir(COD)Cl]2 and 5.0 mol % (S)-p-Tol-BINAP. The effects of various chiral bidentate ligands, catalyst loading, solvent, and temperature on the yield and enantioselectivity were also investigated. A plausible mechanism was proposed to account for the formation of the corresponding trans-ring opened products based on the X-ray structure of product 2i.

Highlights

  • The use of oxabicyclic templates to introduce trans-1,2-bifunctional groups to the carbocyclic molecule skeleton is an effective strategy for the synthesis of complex molecules

  • Pioneering work in this field was first described by Lautens and co-workers [1–17] who reported rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric ring-opening (ARO) of oxabicyclic alkenes to produce the corresponding products in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities

  • Cheng et al [56–59] recently described asymmetric ring-opening of oxabenzonorbornadiene with alkyl- or alkenyl- or allylzirconium reagents and zinc powder under mild conditions catalyzed by Ni(dppe)Br2 or Pd((R)-binap)Cl2, which yielded the corresponding 1,2-dihydronaphth-1-ols in good to excellent yields with high enantioselcetivities

Summary

Introduction

The use of oxabicyclic templates to introduce trans-1,2-bifunctional groups to the carbocyclic molecule skeleton is an effective strategy for the synthesis of complex molecules Pioneering work in this field was first described by Lautens and co-workers [1–17] who reported rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric ring-opening (ARO) of oxabicyclic alkenes to produce the corresponding products in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). Cheng et al [56–59] recently described asymmetric ring-opening of oxabenzonorbornadiene with alkyl- or alkenyl- or allylzirconium reagents and zinc powder under mild conditions catalyzed by Ni(dppe)Br2 or Pd((R)-binap)Cl2, which yielded the corresponding 1,2-dihydronaphth-1-ols in good to excellent yields with high enantioselcetivities (up to 90% ee). Our group demonstrated that iridium-catalyzed asymmetric ring-opening of oxaand azabicyclic alkenes with nitrogen- or oxygen-based nucleophiles, such as amines, alcohols, phenols.
