Enantioselective synthesis of 2,3-dihydrofurans using a bifunctional quinine/squaramide organocatalyst

2021-11-01
Asymmetric organocatalytic domino type Michael-S(N)2 reactions give access to enantiomerically enriched dihydrofuran derivatives that can be used as valuable chiral building blocks. A variety of alpha-bromonitroalkenes and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds were allowed to react under optimized conditions, in the presence of a bifunctional quinine-derived sterically encumbered squaramide (H-bond donor) organocatalyst. The conditions developed in this article have great advantages over the methods known in the literature in terms of reaction duration (1-6 h vs. 24-96 h) and reaction temperature (room temperature vs. -20 degrees C to -50 degrees C) giving rise to quite diastereoselective products with good enantioselectivities up to 97% ee.

Asymmetric organocatalytic sulfa-Michael reactions give access to enantiomerically enriched sulfur containing adducts that can be used as valuable chiral building blocks. A variety of chalcone derivatives were allowed to react with methyl thioglycolate under optimized conditions, in the presence of a bifunctional quinine derived sterically encumbered squaramide organocatalyst, giving rise to excellent stereoselectivities, up to 99% ee. The designed catalyst system proved to be efficient even at gram scale a...
Nucleophilic and electrophilic cyclization reactions of n-alkyne substituted pyrrole derivatives
Yenice, Işıl; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2016)
Pyrrolopyrazinone, triazinone and oxazinone derivatives were synthesized via practical methodologies. In the study, N-alkyne substituted pyrrole esters were synthesized and isolated as key compounds via copper catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. Then, key compounds underwent nucleophilic cyclization reaction with hydrazine monohydrate to yield pyrrolopyrazinone and/or pyrrolotriazinone derivatives according to electronic properties of group attached to alkyne unit. Additional study was the synthesis of pyrro...
Multinucleon transfer in central collisions of U-238+U-238
Ayik, S.; YILMAZ, BÜLENT; YILMAZ TÜZÜN, ÖZGÜL; Umar, A. S.; Turan, Gürsevil (2017-08-14)
Quantal diffusion mechanism of nucleon exchange is studied in the central collisions of U-238 + U-238 in the framework of the stochastic mean-field (SMF) approach. For bombarding energies considered in this work, the dinuclear structure is maintained during the collision. Hence, it is possible to describe nucleon exchange as a diffusion process for mass and charge asymmetry. Quantal neutron and proton diffusion coefficients, including memory effects, are extracted from the SMF approach and the primary fragm...
Enantioselective synthesis of furyl-substituted pyrrolidines
Araz, Mihrimah; Doğan, Özdemir; Department of Chemistry (2019)
Asymmetric 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition (DC) reactions of azomethine ylides are important for the synthesis of pyrrolidines. These reactions may give enantiomerically pure compounds in the presence of a chiral catalyst in a single step. Therefore, many groups have studied this reaction to synthesize aryl-substituted pyrrolidines in enantiomerically rich form. Although the aryl-substituted pyrrolidine synthesis is very common, the studies involving the heteroaryl-substituted pyrrolidines are quite rare. In gene...
Enantioselective aza-Henry reaction of t-Boc protected imines and nitroalkanes with bifunctional squaramide organocatalysts
Susam, Zeynep Dilşad; Tanyeli, Cihangir (2017-05-07)
An organocatalytic asymmetric aza-Henry reaction of t-Boc protected imines with nitroalkanes has been established by chiral acid-base type bifunctional Cinchona alkaloid/squaramide organocatalysts. The cooperation of a quinine motif as a base and sterically encumbered squaramide (H-bond donor) enabled mostly complete conversion of a range of reactants into the corresponding aza-Henry products at room temperature with good selectivities (up to 91% ee with 10 mol% catalyst loading).
