Abstract: Under the catalysis of chiral palladium(0)/ligand complex, the [4+2] cycloaddition between vinyl benzoxazinanones and barbiturate-based olefins proceeded readily and provided barbiturate-fused spirotetrahydroquinolines in up to 96% chemical yield with up to >99:1 dr and 97% ee. The absolute configuration of barbiturate-fused spirotetrahydroquinolines was clearly identified by X-ray single crystal structure analysis. The reaction mechanism was proposed to shed light on the enantioselective formation of barbiturate-fused spirotetrahydroquinolines.

INTRODUCTION Chiral barbiturate-fused spirotetrahydroquinolines constitute a class of structurally diverse and complex nitrogen-containing spiroheterocyclic scaffolds, and possess biologically and medicinally important properties such as antibacterial and anticancer activities as illustrated in Figure 1.1 Especially, ETX09142 and PUN-2866073 have been determined as clinic antibacterial candidates.

Figure 1. Representative bioactive chiral barbiturate-fused spirotetrahydroquinolines Over the past years, intrigued by the biological significances with these chemical entities, many efforts have been invested on their racemic4 and enantiomeric3b,5 synthesis. The previous enantioselective synthetic methodologies for chiral barbiturate-fused spirotetrahydroquinolines mainly involve using chiral substrates and chiral resolutions. However, in this content, the asymmetric catalytic protocols have fully been unexplored to date. So, developing asymmetric catalytic synthetic methodology is highly urgent to synthesize chiral barbiturate-fused spirotetrahydroquinolines enantioselectively. Being robust and versatile building blocks, vinyl benzoxazinanones participate in the catalytic enantioselective construction

Surely, these previously disclosed enantioselective catalytic cycloadditions of vinyl benzoxazinanones have functioned as the alternative and important tools for the synthesis of optically active nitrogenous heterocycles. Despite the significant advances in the catalytic enantioselective cycloaddition of vinyl benzoxazinanones, the design and development of novel enantioselective catalytic cycloadditions of vinyl benzoxazinanones remains highly needed for the construction of potentially bioactive chiral barbiturate-fused spirotetrahydroquinolines.

Motivated by the previous works, we designed the novel chiral palladium(0)/ligand complex catalyzed [4+2] cycloaddition of vinyl benzoxazinanones with synthetically valuable and versatile barbiturate-based olefins11 for the easily and efficiently enantioselective synthesis of chiral barbiturate-fused spirotetrahydroquinolines. Pleasantly, under the catalysis of chiral palladium(0)/ligand complex, the [4+2] cycloaddition between vinyl benzoxazinanones and barbiturate-based olefins proceeded smoothly and furnished the novel chiral barbiturate-fused spirotetrahydroquinolines in the reasonable chemical yields with high diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities. To the best of our knowledge, such a work has not been reported in the literature to date.

Unless otherwise noted, reactions were carried out with 1a (0.1 mmol), 2a (0.1 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (2.5

mol%) and chiral ligands L1–L5 (10 mol%) in CH2Cl2 (1.0 mL) at room temperature. b Isolated chemical yield. c Determined by chiral HPLC analysis. Initially, in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4, we checked the reactivity and stereoselectivity of axially chiral BINOL-based ligands L1–L3, BINAP-based L4 and biphenyl bisphosphine L5 (Figure 2) in the [4+2] cycloaddition of vinyl benzoxazinanone 1a and barbiturate-based olefin 2a as shown in Table 1. Generally, most of chiral ligands delivered >99:1 dr in the cycloaddition. By comparison, the chemical yield and enantioselectivity of the cycloaddition significantly changed with the tested chiral ligands (entries 2–4 & 6). Without a chiral ligand, the [4+2] cycloaddition furnished product 3aa in 66% chemical yield as a racemate (entry 1). BINOL-based phosphoramidite ligand L1 delivered 3aa in 56% chemical yield with 88% ee (entry 2). Use of ligand L2 bearing the combined axial and central chiralities did not greatly improved the chemical yield and enantioselectivity of 3aa as we expected (entries 2 vs 3). In the case of ligand L3, it contained the opposite axial chirality to that of ligand L2, and delivered 3aa in the comparable chemical yield and enantioselectivity to those obtained with ligand L2 (entries 3 vs 4). Badly, using BINAP-based L4 gave product 3aa only in a trace amount after 3 h (entry 5). Delightfully, biphenyl bisphosphine L5 could furnish 3aa in a higher enantioselectivity though the chemical yield of 3aa

remained lower (entry 6). In view of the chemical yield and enantioselectivity obtained with these tested axially chiral ligands, L1 proved to be the most suitable for the cycloaddition (entry 2). Table 2. Screening of ratio of Pd(PPh3)4/L1a

L1 in CH2Cl2 (1.0 mL) at room temperature. b Isolated chemical yield. c Determined by chiral HPLC analysis. Then, we explored the effect of the molar ratio of Pd(PPh3)4/L1 on the [4+2] cycloaddition of vinyl benzoxazinanone 1a and barbiturate-based olefin 2a as depicted in Table 2. Basically, the different ratios tended to give 3aa in >99% dr (entries 1–6). By comparison, the chemical yield and enantioselectivity highly depended on the used molar ratios. Using 0.0025: 0.01 ratio gave 3aa in 56% chemical yield and 88% ee (entry 1). Meanwhile, the choice of 0.005:0.01 ratio increased the chemical yield, but decreased the enantioselctivity (entries 1 vs 2). Delightfully, the 0.005:0.02 ratio delivered 3aa in excellent enantioselectivity even with the moderate chemical yield (entry 3). In case of the 0.01:0.02 ratio, it 6

decreased both chemical yield and enantioselectivity as compared with the former case (entries 3 vs 4). In addition, by using the ratio of 0.005:0.02, we prolonged the reaction time for 17 h, and the chemical yield lowered and enantioselectivity improved a little (entries 3 vs 5). In addition, in the absence of L1, loading Pd(PPh3)4 in 0.005 mmol afforded 3aa in 66% chemical yield (entry 6). Obviously, among all the tested ratios, as shown in entry 5, the ratio of 0.005:0.02 behaved more efficiently in terms of enantioselectivity in the cycloaddition. Table 3.

in Table 3. With the exception of Pd(PPh3)2Cl2, all the other tested palladium catalysts delivered >99% dr in the cycloaddition (entries 1–3 & 5–7). Normally, the used palladium catalysts influenced the chemical yield and enantioselectivity quite differently. In case of Pd(PPh3)4, it provided 3aa in 59% chemical yield with 93% ee (entry 1). By comparison, use of Pd(OAc)2 led to the increased chemical yield and enantioselectivity (entries 1 vs 2). Moreover, as compared with the former two cases, the employment of 3aa enhanced chemical yield, but lowered the enantioselectivity (entries 1–2 vs 3). Disappointedly, the cycloaddition did not occur at all in the presence of Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (entry 4). With the use of [Pd2(dba)3]·CHCl3 as the palladium catalyst, the cycloaddition proceeded in 76% chemical yield with 96% ee (entry 5). Unfortunately, under the 1:4 ratio of Pd(OAc)2 and L1, increasing the actual loading of Pd(OAc)2 and L1 lowered the chemical yield and enantioselectivity of 3aa (entries 2 vs 6). Finally, we attempted the increased 1:5 ratio of Pd2(dba)3 and L1 in the cycloaddition, and discovered the chemical yield of 3aa decreased dramatically and the ennatioselectivity with it increased on some extents (entries 3 vs 7). Overall, [Pd2(dba)3]·CHCl3 behaved most efficiently with respect to the enantioselectivity achieved in the cycloaddition. Table 4. Screening of solventsa

Meanwhile, we investigated the solvent effect of a wide range of solvents possessing various palorities on the cycloaddition of vinyl benzoxazinanone 1a and barbiturate-based olefin 2a as outlined in Table 4. Except for the protic MeOH solvent, all the other examined aprotic solvents resulted in excellent diastereoselectivities in the cycloadditon (entries 1–6 vs 7). Using CH2Cl2 as solvent produced 3aa in76% chemical yield with 96% ee (entry 1). In the case of THF solvent, the chemical yield maintained the same as the previous case, but the enantioselectivity decreased (entries 1 vs 2). With regard to DCE, Toluene, MeCN ans CHCl3 as solvents, the chemical yields ranged from 64% to 70% and the enantioselectivities from 93% to 96% (entries 3–6). Badly, in the very polar and protic MeOH solvent, the cycloaddition did not take place at all (entry 7). So, in CH2Cl2 solvent, the cycloaddition performed most efficiently, and furnished product 3aa in the highest chemical yield with excellent diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity (entry 1). Currently, for the cycloaddition, we determined the optimal reaction conditions as below: 5 mol% [Pd2(dba)3]·CHCl3, 20 mol% L1, 1a/2a/[Pd2(dba)3]·CHCl3/L1 = 1:1:0.05:0.2, CH2Cl2, rt. Table 5.

Unless otherwise noted, reactions were carried out with 1 (0.1 mmol), 2 (0.1 mmol), [Pd2(dba)3]·CHCl3 (5

In the most cases, the diastereoselectivity of the cycloaddition reached >99:1 (entries 1–11, 14–19 & 22–28). In contrast, the chemical yield and enantioselectivity of the cycloaddition noticeably varied with the used substrates 1 and 2. Concerning the cycloaddition with 1a, most substrates 2 bearing an electron-rich or electron-poor aromatic ring as R4 group and a methyl as R5 group proceeded readily, and afforded products 3aa–3ak in 45–90% chemical yields with 88–96% enantioselectivities (entries 1–11). Remarkably, the substrates 2l with a bulky iso-propyl as R4 group and 2m without a substituent at R5 position exhibited much lower reactivities, and did not undergo the cycloaddition with 1a at all (entries 12–13). So, the chemical nature of R4 and R5 groups in substrates 2 significantly affected their chemical reactivities in the cycloaddition with 1a.

Also, we attempted the [4+2] cycloaddition between 1b–1i and 2a as summarized in Table 5 (entries 14–21). In this context, the substrate 1d with an electron-donating methyl as R1 group behaved better than the substrates 1b–1c bearing an electron-withdrawing halogen group in the cycloaddition and gave higher chemical yield and enantioselectivity (entries 14–15 vs 16). Moreover, the substitution position of R1 group in substrates 1 also influenced the chemical yield and enantioselectivity of the cycloaddition. For example, the substrates 1e–1f having R1 group at C7 position behaved better than the substrates 1b–1d containing R1 group at C6 position, and furnished the higher chemical yields and enantioselectivities 11

(entries 14–16 vs 17–18). Regarding the substrate 1g without any substituent at R2 position, it reacted with 2a to provide 3ga in excellent chemical yield with very low enantioselectivity (entry 19).

Clearly, the replacement of Ts group with benzyl group in the substrates 1 rendered the cycloaddition unsuccessful (entries 1 vs 20). Similarly, the substrate 1i with a methyl at R3 position also failed to react with 2a (entry 21). Therefore, the substrates 1 did not tolerate the wide variation of R2 and R3 groups in the cycloaddition. Lastly, we conducted some crossed cycloadditions by utilizing more reactive substrates 1d–1f and 2c or 2f–2g, and the chemical yield ranged from 62–83%, and enantioselectivity changed from 67–97% (entries 22–28). Lastly, we examined the cycloaddition between 1i and 2a at 40 °C, and still no reaction took place (entry 29). Moreover, the single crystal of 3ac was obtained, and its absolute configuration was determined to be (C-14S, C-18S) by X-ray analysis as presented in Figure 3.12 On the basis of the determined absolute configuration of 3ac, the absolute configurations of the other desired chiral barbiturate-fused spirotetrahydroquinolines were assigned similarly as shown in Table 5.

(with thermal ellipsoid shown at the 50% probability level)

To account for the enantioselective formation of 3ac, we predicted a reaction mechanism for the [4+2] cycloaddition between 1a and 2c as depicted in Scheme 2 according to previous works.9a–b,9d Both Pathway A and Pathway B include a reversible aza-michael addition and an intramolecular cyclization

sequence. Catalyzed by in situ formed chiral palladium(0)/L1 complex, 1a decarboxylates into a chiral palladium-stabilized zwitterionic intermediate 4. Then, the intermediate 4 conducts the reversible aza-michael addition with 2c to furnish two zwitterionic intermediates Int-I and Int-II. Regarding the intramolecular cyclization, Int-1 in pathway A is kinetically favoured than that of Int-2 in pathway B because of the strong steric repulsion between Ar and Ts groups caused during the intramolecular cyclization of Int-2. Finally, the intramolecular cyclization of the intermediate Int-1 gives cis-3ac as the major product by using the carbon anion on the barbiturate moiety to attack the si face of the palladium-stabilized π-allyl subunit. Commonly, as described in the previous works, the initial reversible aza-michael addition is fast, and the subsequent intramolecular cyclization is slow, and works as a rateand stereochemistry-determining step for the similar [4+2] cycloadditions.7b, 9a

In conclusion, we first have established the novel chiral palladium(0)/ligand complex catalyzed [4+2] cycloaddition between vinyl benzoxazinanones and barbiturate-based olefins for the enantioselective synthesis of the potentially bioactive barbiturate-fused spirotetrahydroquinolines. The [4+2] cycloaddition proceeded readily and provided barbiturate-fused spirotetrahydroquinolines in the reasonable chemical yields and enantioselectivities.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION General information Unless noted otherwise, all reagents were commercially available and used without further purification. All solvents were distilled from the appropriate drying agents immediately before use. Reactions were monitored by TLC carried out on 0.25 mm SDS silica gel coated glass plates (60F254) and compounds were detected with UV light. The melting points of compounds were determined with a melting point instrument. NMR spectra were recorded on 400 MHz instrument and calibrated using tetramethylsilane (TMS) as internal reference. High resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were recorded under electrospray ionization (ESI) conditions on an Orbitrap mass analyzer. Specific optical rotations were measured with a polarimeter. HPLC analysis was performed on Waters equipment using Chiralpak AD (25 cm × 0.46 cm), AD-H (25 cm × 0.46 cm), AS-H (25 cm × 0.46 cm), IC (25 cm × 0.46 cm) and OD-H (25 cm × 0.46 cm) columns. Vinyl benzoxazinanones 1a-1i9a, 9d, 10a and barbiturate-based olefins 2a-2m11b,11d were prepared according to literature procedures. General procedure for enantioselective synthesis of products 3 A mixture of vinyl benzoxazinanone 1 (0.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv), barbiturate-based olefin 2 (0.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv), [Pd2(dba)3]·CHCl3 (0.005 mmol, 5 mol%) and L1 (0.02 mmol, 20 mol%) in 1.0 mL of CH2Cl2
