ABSTRACT: We have developed an efficient one-pot, two-step sequential process to synthesize biologically and synthetically important chiral acetal-containing polycyclic derivatives. This novel protocol had been proved to proceed via Michael-lactolizationoxocarbenium ion ring-closing sequence, which was initiated by a key reactive enamine intermediate and interrupted the previously established reaction pathway of two different enones used in this work, and generated the corresponding cycloadducts with excellent stereoselectivity bearing up to seven continuous stereocenters. Both chiral and racemic starting cyclic hemiacetals worked well in this strategy. The synthetic applications of the obtained polycyclic products have also been demonstrated.



INTRODUCTION

aforementioned chiral acetal-containing polycyclic frameworks remains scarce.7 Recently, we focused on the chemistry of cyclic hemiacetal which could be directly used to construct chiral heterocycles with high stereoselectivities through the asymmetric organocatalytic one-pot sequential processes.8 In this work, we became interested in employing γ-lactam-derived cyclic enone 19 and 2arylideneindane-1,3-dione 210 in an asymmetric organocatalytic one-pot sequential process to react with cyclic hemiacetal 3, respectively, in the presence of aminocatalyst (S)-4 (TMS = trimethylsilyl) providing densely functionalized chiral acetalcontaining polycyclic molecules (Scheme 1, bottom). It should be noted that this novel sequential process is challenging, since it potentially interrupted the previously established reaction pathway (Scheme 1, top), such as oxo-Diels−Alder process9b of enone 1 and [2 + 2 + 2] annulation process10a of enone 2, and thus is expected to proceed via a novel Michael-lactolizationoxocarbenium ion ring-closing sequence, which is initiated by the enamine-based Michael reaction between cyclic hemiacetal 3 and activated enones 1 and 2, respectively. Herein, we report our initial findings in developing this one-pot sequential process.

The densely functionalized chiral polycyclic frameworks, especially the ones containing acetal moiety, are often found in many compounds that have broad applications in both synthetic organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry.1 Thus, the strategies that could effectively form chiral acetal-containing polycyclic frameworks are clearly highly desirable but challenging goals, which attribute to the production of continuous multiple chiral centers with high chemo-, regio-, and stereocontrol.2 In the research field of asymmetric organocatalysis,3 the enamine-based Michael reaction between aldehydes and electron-deficient alkenes has emerged as a highly valuable C−C bond-formation strategy,4 providing versatile building blocks with high to excellent stereoselectivity for further useful transformations. Meanwhile, the asymmetric organocatalytic one-pot sequential processes,5 which could be performed under operationally simple and environmentally friendly reaction conditions, have received considerable attention due to their various synthetic utilities and extremely powerful synthetic efficiency for the construction of chiral polycyclic frameworks with high structural and stereochemical complexity. Indeed, in the past decade, remarkable progress has been described toward the asymmetric organocatalytic one-pot sequential processes initiated by the enamine-based Michael reaction to access biologically and synthetically important polycycles.6 However, expansion of this promising strategy to efficiently synthesize © 2017 American Chemical Society

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

We began the optimization studies with 1a and (S)-3a11 as the starting substrates and the commercially available diphenylprolinol trimethylsilyl ether (S)-4 as the catalyst (for the full optimization studies, see the Supporting Information, Table S1 and S2). As shown in Table 1, the first step of this one-pot, two-step sequential process occurred by using p-NO2PhCOOH (p-NBA) as the cocatalyst in the solvent of toluene at 25 °C and was followed by BF3·Et2O catalyzed ring closure reaction at 0 °C in CH2Cl2, yielding the target chiral acetal-containing polycyclic product 5a in 68% isolated yield with >99:1 diastereoselectivity bearing four stereocenters (Table 1, entry 1). Further solvent screening revealed that solvents have a remarkable effect on the reactivity of the first step but little effect on the final diastereoselectivity of this protocol (Table 1, entries 2−6). To our delight, toluene is also a good choice for the second ring closure step, both reactivity and stereoselectivity were maintained (Table 1, entry 7). Thus, the whole process of this one-pot, two-step sequence could be carried out in one-pot conditions, thereby saving time, effort, and production costs. Additionally, compared with BF3·Et2O, neither PTSA nor TFA gave better results (Table 1, entries 8−9). Unsurprisingly, when the reaction was catalyzed by the racemic catalyst (±)-4, compounds 5a and 5′a could be isolated as an inseparable mixture of diastereoisomers (Table 1, entry 10, 5a:5′a = 50:50). Consequently, with the optimized conditions in hand (Table 1, entry 7), the scope and generality of this highly stereocontrolled one-pot, two-step sequential process was then studied by varying the substituents of both cyclic enones 1 and cyclic hemiacetals (S)-3. The results are listed in Table 2. Enones 1 with electron-deficient, electron-rich, and heterocyclic

acetals 3 and the catalyst (R)-4 (Scheme 2, c and d). These results suggested that the chirality of (R)- and (S)-3 had no influence on both the diastereoselectivity and reactivity, and thus this one-pot sequential process is catalyst-controlled rather than substrate-controlled stereoselective reaction process. With these results in hand, we next focused on the scope of the reaction between enones 2 and cyclic hemiacetals (S)-3a under the same optimized conditions. As shown in Table 3, several substituted enones 2 containing electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups on the aromatic ring as well as heteroaromatic substituent generated polycyclic products 7a− 7h in acceptable yield with excellent diastereoselectivity.

substituents on the aromatic ring, as well as 2-naphthyl and cinnamyl, were all well tolerated, affording the corresponding polycyclic products 5a−5k in moderate to good yield with excellent diastereoselectivity (Table 2, entries 1−11). Pleasingly, a series of aryl substituted cyclic hemiacetals (S)-3 and also the one containing a six-membered ring proved to be suitable for this sequence (Table 2, entries 12−15).12 Additionally, both the reactivity and efficiency remained excellent when changing the substituent on the N atom of enone 1 (Table 2, entries 16 and 17). To our delight, the reaction could be performed on a 2 mmol scale (Table 2, entry 18), and the desired product 5a was obtained in slightly higher yield with excellent diastereoselectivity. To understand the excellent diastereoselectivity observed in this one-pot, two-step sequential process, we investigated the effect of both starting cyclic hemiacetal 3 and catalyst 4 (Scheme 2). Starting from racemic cyclic hemiacetal (±)-3a, polycyclic products 5a and 6 were formed as two readily separable epimers (1:1) at O-benzyl position (Scheme 2, a) and each with excellent diastereoselectivity. This result indicates that it is possible to explore this one-pot, two-step sequential process with racemic cyclic hemiacetal 3 to deliver products with high stereoselectivity and suggests that this process is highly atom economic pathway. As expected, product 6 could be further formed with similar diastereoselectivity using cyclic hemiacetal (R)-3a and catalyst (S)-4 (Scheme 2, b). Moreover, epimers 5′a and 6′ were obtained, respectively, with excellent diastereoselectivity regardless of the chirality of cyclic hemi-

The relative and absolute configurations of 5a and 7a were unambiguously determined by X-ray analysis,14 and the configuration of all the other examples were assigned by NOE experiments and analogy. To explain the observed absolute stereochemical outcome, a proposed mechanism for the generation of 5a is rationalized in Scheme 4. The asymmetric organocatalytic one-pot, two-step sequential process is initiated by the formation of the enamine intermediate between the catalyst (S)-4 and the cyclic hemiacetal (S)-3a, which attacked the cyclic enone 1a from the Re face thus affording the Michael adduct 12 and followed by intramolecular acetalization yielding the intermediate 8 containing a hemiacetal moiety in the structure. The subsequent nucleophilic attack of the hydroxy group of the enol to the Si face of the oxocarbenium ion intermediate, induced by BF3·Et2O, offers the target chiral acetal-containing polycyclic product 5a in a diastereomerically pure form. Accordingly, compound 7a is proposed to be formed via a similar stereocontrolled pathway. Next, selected transformations were performed to illustrate the synthetic potential of the corresponding chiral acetalcontaining polycyclic products 5 and 7 (Scheme 5). Starting from 5a, the cyclic hemiacetal 13, which was easily achieved by Pd/C catalyzed debenzylation, could be reduced to fused oxygen-containing heterocycle 14 in the presence of Et3SiH and BF3·Et2O. Interestingly, 5a did not generate any product 9 in the presence of Et3SiH and BF3·Et2O (Scheme 3, a), while the use of TiCl4, instead of BF3·Et2O, led to the desired 9 in good yield with high diastereoselectivity. A reduction of 7a triggered by NaBH4 in MeOH lead to the polycycle 15, which subsequently underwent a three-step sequence involving one olefin hydrogenation and two reductive debenzylation at 40 °C to afford fully substituted pyran derivative 16 bearing five continuous stereocenters, and the absolute configuration of the product 16 was assigned by a single-crystal X-ray analysis.13 We also found that the reduction of 15 working at a lower temperature (25 °C versus 40 °C) led to 17 with excellent diastereoselectivity containing six continuous stereocenters and a preserved hydroxy group. Additionally, by treating 15 with Et3SiH and BF3·Et2O, the O,O-acetal moiety could be chemoselectively opened to afford the oxocarbenium ion intermediate, which was smoothly transformed to enone 18 via a domino process involving reduction and dehydroxylation sequence. Moreover, compound 19, which contained five continuous stereogenic centers, was easily accessed via simple reduction conditions at 25 °C. Finally, tetracyclic 20, one of the epimers of 17, could be obtained in good isolated yield under mild reduction conditions. It should be noted that cyclic

In order to demonstrate the possible reaction pathway, several control experiments were conducted to obtain more mechanistic details (Scheme 3). Generally, there are two Scheme 3. Control Experiments

possible intermediates 8 and 8′ could be involved in this onepot, two-step sequential process. Starting from the reactoin of cyclic hemiacetal (S)-3a and enone 1a catalyzed by (S)-4, intermediate 8 was proposed to be formed via Michaellactolization sequence, while intermediate 8′ might be obtained by a Michael-enolization-lactolization sequence.13 However, in the presence of BF3·Et2O and Et3SiH, the subsequent reduction reaction lead to 9 as the unique product, and neither 10 nor 5a was obtained (Scheme 3, a). Moreover, no reaction occurred when compound 5a was subjected to the same reduction conditions. Additionally, similar behavior was observed in the reaction between (S)-3a and enone 2a, resulting in the formation of compound 11 as the only product by the Michael-lactolization-reduction sequence (Scheme 3, b). All these results suggested that this novel one-pot, two-step sequential process proceeded via Michael-lactolization-oxocarbenium ion ring-closing sequence.

Chromatographic purification of products was accomplished using column chromatography on silica gel (300−400 mesh). For thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis throughout this work, Merck precoated TLC plates (silica gel 60 GF254, 0.25 mm) were used, using UV light as the visualizing agent and an acidic mixture of ceric ammonium molybdate or basic aqueous potassium permanganate (KMnO4) as stain developing solutions. Organic solutions were concentrated under reduced pressure on EYELA rotary evaporator. HPLC analysis on chiral stationary phase were performed on a HITACHI Chromaster.

CONCLUSION In conclusion, we have developed a novel asymmetric organocatalytic one-pot, two-step sequential process to synthesize biologically and synthetically important chiral acetal-containing polycyclic frameworks with excellent stereoselectivities bearing multiple stereocenters. On the basis of some initial control experiments, this one-pot sequential process had been proved to be challengeable, as it interrupted the previously established reaction pathway, such as oxo-Diels− Alder process of enone 1 and [2 + 2 + 2] annulation process of enone 2, and proceeded via a Michael-lactolization-oxocarbenium ion ring-closing sequence, which was initiated by a key reactive enamine intermediate. Moreover, selected transformations demonstrated that the results present herein have a potential utility on the synthesis of related functionalized chiral heterocycles.

The Journal of Organic Chemistry filtered through a silica gel and purified by flash chromatography affording the pure hydroxy ester. The hydroxy ester prepared as described above was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (10 mL), and the solution was cooled to 0 °C, followed by the addition of 4 drops of trifluoroacetic acid. Stirring for 6 h at room temperature completed the lactonization, and the reaction mixture was worked up with aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was washed with water, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated to get the lactone without further purification. A solution of DIBAL-H (1.5 M in toluene, 7.5 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of the obtained lactone (5.0 mmol) in dry toluene (50 mL) maintained at −78 °C over a period of 1.5 h. The reaction mixture was stirred for another 4.5 h at −78 °C, then quenched by the dropwise addition of methanol (3.3 mL). The mixture was allowed to warm to 0 °C and diluted with water (8.8 mL). After mechanically stirring for 30 min, the brown slurry was filtered and washed thoroughly with distilled diethyl ether (5 × 100 mL). The filtrate was concentrated at reduced pressure to afford crude product as a colorless oil that was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel to give the desired starting cyclic hemiacetal 3.

(11) The chiral hemiacetals 3 are known compounds and were prepared according to literature procedures via two steps: (a) Ramachandran, P. V.; Pitre, S.; Brown, H. C. J. Org. Chem. 2002, 67, 5315.

(12) When R1 = 4-MePh (Table 1, entry 14), the starting cyclic hemiacetal (S)-3n was obtained as racemate; see the Supporting Information for further details. However, only one of the two epimers (5n) was finally observed; another epimer was not pure enough for analylsis. (13) According to the ref 9b, the intermediate 8′ could also be formed via an inverse electron-demand oxo-Diels−Alder reaction. However, we prefer to denote it as a Michael-enolization-lactolization sequence, which seems to be more reasonable in this work.
