ABSTRACT: An NHC-catalyzed Hetero-Diels-Alder and isomerization process of chalcones with allenoates was discovered, which furnished highly functionalized multi-substituted pyranyl carboxylates successfully. This method features convergent assembly, mild reaction condition, moderate to good yields and high atom economy. Pyran has attracted wide synthetic interest due to its rich appearance an important skeleton in bioactive active molecules and natural products.1 Some molecules containing this privileged scaffold are associated with interesting biological and pharmacological activities, such as antiviral,1a-1c anticancer,1d and anticonvulsant activities.1e In 2015, the Das’s group2a reported a ZnI2-catalyzed highly diastereoselective reaction of β,γ-unsaturated α-ketothioesters and olefins to afford highly substituted 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrans. Very recently, List et al.2b put forward a general and highly enantioselective catalytic [4+2] cyclization of unactivated dienes with aldehydes enabled by chiral Brønsted acids to give enantiomerically enriched dihydropyrans. Therefore, the development of efficient and mild accesses to this skeleton is an active research area.2e The past decade has witnessed spectacular growth of allene chemistry.3 In particular, the Lewis base-catalyzed transformations of allenoates have received considerable interest due to their potential for the facile generation of structurally complex molecules.4 In 1995, Lu et al.5 pioneered a phosphine-catalyzed [3+2] cyclization of allenoates with electron-deficient olefins for the syntheses of cyclopentenes. In this context, phosphine-triggered allenes-involved reactions, such as [3+2],6 [4+1],7 [4+2]8 cyclization have now been firmly established as the effective synthetic strategies to construct a wide variety of five- or six-membered cyclic scaffolds and found broad applications in the preparation of biologically active natural compounds (Scheme 1).9 In addition to phosphines, amines have also been

N-Heterocyclic Carbenes (NHCs) have been demonstrated as a kind of powerful organocatalysts for various carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions.12 An attractive catalytic feature of NHCs is to reverse the polarity of aldehyde (umpolung) to provide a new fashion for organic synthesis (Scheme S1, see Supporting Information). For instance, a1-d1 umpolung of aldehydes (The carbonyl carbon of aldehyde features an inverted, nucleophilic reactivity) to participate the benzoin condensation and Stetter addition, and a3-d3 polarity reversal of enals (Enals means α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The homoenolates generated from the reactions of NHCs and enals could be considered as d3-nucleophiles, and thus constitute an a3-d3 umpolung) could be accomplished by NHC readily.13 Now NHCs have been fully proved as the robust catalysts for reactions involving esters14 and other carboxylic acid derivatives.15-16 Nevertheless, catalytic reactions triggered by the addition of NHCs to unsaturated C-C bonds are far less explored due to the stability of the NHC-substrate adducts17, and there were only a handful of examples concerning the reactions of NHCs and C=C bonds.18 Allenoates are important synthons that can undergo synthetically useful transformations to a wealth of valuable heterocycles. Compared with the well-established phosphine- or

amine-catalyzed cycloadditions of allenoates, in sharp contrast, the potential of the NHC-catalyzed reaction of allenoates remains largely underexplored. Thus, we envisaged that a formal [3+2] annulation may be realized through NHC catalysis by employing allenoates and highly activated olefins as C3 and C2 synthon, respectively. Then allenoate 1 and chalcone 2 were deployed as standard substrates in the presence of NHCs to search for suitable condition for the creation of cyclopentenes 3 (Scheme 2a). To our surprise, this reaction did not proceed in the manner of the desired [3+2] annulation to afford the anticipated products 3. On the contrary, a formal [4+2] reaction occurred, which produced a class of unforeseen products 4 with modest yields (Scheme 2b). Herein, we shall report our preliminary results of this unexpected reaction mode of allenoates catalyzed by NHC. Scheme 2. Our investigation on employing allenoates as C3 synthon

Our investigation commenced with the screening of NHC catalysts for the model reaction of 1a and 2a (Table 1). After several attempts, we found that catalyst 5a was able to deliver product 4aa in 31% yield at 25 oC in THF presented by K2CO3 (Table 1, entry 1). The replacement of the bulky tert-butyl group of 5a with a phenyl group or an isopropyl substituent respectively, neither 5b nor 5c could push this reaction forward (Table 1, entries 2-3). Triazolium salt 6a and triazolium salt 6b were found to be poor catalysts (Table 1, entries 4-5). Further efforts to improve the yield of cycloadduct 4aa by decreasing the base loading from 0.5 equiv. to 0.25 equiv., gave a better result with the yield modestly up to 39% (Table 1, entry 6). The following studies unraveled that inorganic bases were more competent than their organic counterparts and the use of stronger base Cs2CO3 furnished a better yield of the product 4aa (Table 1, entry 7). The solvent effect was also examined by screening DCM, toluene, DME and ACN, and ACN was identified as the best choice (Table 1, entry 8). When the reaction was performed in ACN at 30 oC in the presence of 5a, 4aa was obtained in 67% yield (Table 1, entry 9), which should be the optimal reaction condition.

With the optimized reaction conditions established (Table 1 entry 9), we turned our attention to test the substrate scope of the [4+2] annulation between 1 and 2. The results were tabulated in Table 2. In general, various chalcones 2 with a broad range of electron-properties of phenyl groups (e.g., electron-rich, or -deficient of phenyl ring) were subjected to the NHC-catalyzed annulation, and the corresponding products 4ab-4an were obtained in good yields in most cases. The electronic nature of the phenyl group in substrates 2 affected the reaction performance strongly in terms of isolated yields. The reaction of electron-deficient chalcones

2b-2f with 1a occurred smoothly. However, the reactions involving substrates 2 with methyl and methoxyl substituents gave products 4ag and 4ah in somewhat lower yields. 1-Naphthyl and 2-thiophenyl-containing substrates 2k-2n could also be employed for the syntheses of 4ak-2an along with good yields. Next, the substrate scope with regard to the allenic ester structures was also evaluated. Different linear/branched alkyl- or aryl- substituted allenic esters 1 were well-tolerated well and the expected [4+2] coupling compounds 4ba-4da were acquired in good yields. These results highlighted the broad substrate scope of this NHC-catalyzed annulation protocol.19 Thus this protocol provided a nonmetal-catalyzed alternative for the construction of pyran unit comparing the previous study.2f-2g Moreover, it also demonstrated a new reactive mode of annulation of allenoates with chalcones, which was catalyzed by phosphine and tertiary amine previously.6c,11a

On the basis of the related NHC-catalyzed reactions of allenoate,18d-18e we proposed two possible pathways of this annulation of 1 and 2 (Scheme 3): (a) NHC may attack the center carbon atom of allenaoate 1 and intermediate A was formed. Then it could undergo an



1,4-addition with chalcone 2, affording an enolate anion intermediate B. Then the double bond in B would be isomerized into the conjugated position with the ester. The subsequent cyclic conjugate addition gave the final product 4 with the release of the NHC catalyst. (b) Intermediate B underwent a proton transfer process to afford intermediate E, and then the elimination of NHC gave rise to intermediate F. The regenerated NHC could act as a base to deprotonate F to give intermediate G. Enolic intermediate G would undergo an intramolecular 6-exo-dig cyclization to give intermediate H, which would be protonated by NHC precursor to yield product 4 ultimately. Scheme 3. Plausible reaction mechanism

In conclusion, a formal [4+2] annulation between α,β-unsaturated ketone and allenoates took place readily to provide a wide range of pyranyl carboxylates in the presence of imidazolium catalyst 5a. The moderate to good yields, mild reaction condition and high atom economy make it attractive for the construction of oxygenous six-membered heterocycles.

accomplished by flash chromatography using silica gel (200-300 mesh). Melting points were determined in open capillaries and were uncorrected. IR spectra were taken on a FT-IR spectrometer in KBr pellets and reported in cm-1. 1H NMR spectra were measured on a 400 MHz spectrometer in CDCl3 (100 MHz, 13C NMR) or DMSO-d6 with chemical shift (δ) given in ppm relative to TMS as internal standard. Data were reported as follows: chemical shift, multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, m = multiplet), coupling constants (Hz), integration. High-resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were obtained on a HRMS/MS instrument with the technique of electrospray ionization. General Procedure for Syntheses of Pyranyl Carboxylates 4. An oven-dried 10 mL Schlenk tube equipped with a magnetic stir bar was charged with 1 (0.3 mmol), 2 (0.1 mmol), imidazolium salt 5a (0.02 mmol, 4.3 mg), Cs2CO3 (0.025 mmol, 8.1 mg). The tube was closed with a septum, evacuated, and refilled with nitrogen. Freshly distilled ACN (1.0 mL) was added into the mixture with a syringe. Then the mixture was stirred at 30 oC until completion (monitored by TLC). After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the resulting crude residue was purified by column chromatography (silicagel, mixtures of petroleum ether/ethyl acetate, 80:1-40:1, v/v) to afford the desired product 4.

(19) It should be noted that no reaction of 1a with 2a was observed without imidazolium catalyst 5a. Besides, the produced pyran carboxylates are unstable when they exposure to the opened air long time, which may account for the low isolated yields. (20) Rout, L.; Harned, A. M. Chem. Eur.
