ABSTRACT: Enantioselective addition of styrenes to cyclic N-sulfonyl α-ketiminoesters was developed using the complex of Ni(ClO4)2 with chiral phosphine complex as a catalyst. A range of chiral benzofused 5-membered sultams bearing alkenylated or allylated α-tetrasubstituted amino ester framework were afforded in excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) as potential biologically active compounds for drug research.

KEYWORDS: Asymmetric catalysis, Nickel, Styrene, Quaternary stereocenter, Sultam Cyclic sulfonamides (sultams) that exhibit broad and important bioactivities have found extensive applications in medicine.1 In particular, benzofused 5-membered sultams have received much attention as they are frequently occurring key structural units of biologically active compounds or drugs, such as 5-HT2 receptor antagonists,2a HIV-1 inhibitors,2b HCV (Hepatitis C virus) NS5b inhibitors,2c and selective CRTh2 antagonists.2d In addition, fused sultams have widespread applications in organic synthesis as protecting groups, chiral auxiliaries, and directed metalation groups.3 Consequently, significant efforts have been devoted to the synthesis of chiral fused 5-membered sultams, including enantioselective addition of organoboron reagents to cyclic N-sulfonyl imines,4 organocatalytic asymmetric annulations of cyclic N-sulfonyl imines,5 and intramolecular C-H bond amination.6 Despite these advances, development of novel and efficient approaches to optically active fused 5-membered sultams is still highly attractive. Chiral allylic amine represents an important structural motif that widely exists in natural products and biologically active molecules.7 Enantioselective addition of olefin moieties to imines offers a straightforward access to chiral allylic amines. So far, documented examples includes the asymmetric addition of reactive alkenylboron reagents to imines4b,8 and the enantioselective aza-Baylis-Hillman reaction of electrondeficient alkenes with imines.9 In spite of its high efficiency and atom economy, the direct addition of simple olefins to imines to furnish chiral allylic amines has remained underdeveloped. Nevertheless, a few recent examples of addition of simple olefins to electron-deficient C=C or C=O bonds have appeared in their racemic versions.10 Herein, we communicate for the first time the direct addition of styrenes to cyclic Nsulfonyl α-ketiminoesters with the complex of Ni(ClO4)2/chiral phosphine11 as a catalyst, leading to allylic amines bearing quaternary stereocenters12 in excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). Notably, chiral homoallylic amines (up to 95% ee) are afforded when α-methylstyrenes

are used as substrates, which represents the first example of asymmetric ene reaction of ketimines (Scheme 1).13,14 Thus, this protocol provides an efficient access to optically active benzofused 5-membered sultams bearing alkenylated or allylated α-quaternary amino ester framework as potential biologically active compounds for medicinal research.

Scheme 1. Enantioselective addition of styrenes to Nsulfonyl α-ketiminoesters Our study began with the model reaction between cyclic Nsulfonyl α-ketiminoester 1a and styrene 2a. Pleasingly, the initial test revealed that a Cu(OTf)2/bisoxazoline (L1) complex promoted the reaction in DCM while heated in oil-bath at 100 o C for 72 h, affording the desired product 3aa with 67% ee albeit in a low yield (Table 1, entry 1). Other chiral bisoxazoline ligands L2-L4 bearing different substituents on the C4 position of oxazoline ring were then evaluated (entries 2-4). Moderate yield and enantioselectivity were obtained using L2 as a ligand (entry 2), while the use of L3 and L4 led to poor enantiomeric excess (entries 3-4). Although good to excellent enantioselectivities were obtained in the cases of ligands L5 and L6 bearing diphenyl substituents, the yields were not satisfying (entries 5-6). Interestingly, replacing the bisoxazoline ligands with a chiral phosphine ligand (S)-BINAP L7 also resulted in equally high ee value, whereas the yield was even poorer (entry 7). Hence, further catalyst screening was focused on other Lewis acids. Poor results were observed for the complexes of Ni(ClO4)2·6H2O with chiral bisoxazolines L1 and L5 (entries 8-9). To our delight, however, both the reactivity and selectivity were remarkably improved when Ni(ClO4)2·6H2O/L7 complex was used as a catalyst. Thus, the

reaction was complete in 24 h to afford the desired product in 73% yield and 98% ee (entry 10). Comparable results were afforded for anhydrous Ni(ClO4)2 (entry 11). Surprisingly, Ni(OTf)2 was inactive to the reaction (entry 12). Subsequent investigation on solvent effect showed that the reaction was fully suppressed in THF or CH3CN, and poor yield was obtained in CHCl3 (entries 13-15). Moreover, the reaction could occur at 80 oC to furnish 3aa in a slightly lower yield and with 99% ee (entry 16). Notably, slightly lower enantioselectivity was found with 5 mol% of catalyst loading despite a longer reaction time was required to ensure a reasonable yield (entry 17).

and the results were listed in Table 2. All the reactions proceeded smoothly to afford the desired products 3 in excellent enantioselectivities (92-99% ee). Both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents, such as halides, CF3, OCF3, OMe, and alkyl groups, attached on the C5-C7 position of N-sulfonyl α-ketiminoesters were found to be tolerant to the corresponding reactions, giving the expected products in modest to good yields, showing a broad scope of the reaction. Notably, naphthofused sultam 3la was also isolated in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities. Moreover, good yields and excellent enantioselectivities were obtained for the substrates bearing a variety of ester groups (Me, iPr, or nBu).

Styrene derivatives were also examined under the optimal reaction conditions. As shown in Table 3, the reactions of styrenes having electron-donating substituents on the benzene ring proceeded well and offered products 3 in moderate to good yields and excellent enantioselectivities (Table 3, products 3ab, 3ac and 3af-3ai). However, relatively lower yield was obtained for product 3ag bearing a 3-OMe group. Styrenes containing electron-withdrawing groups were confirmed to be relatively more challenging substrates and a higher catalyst loading was required to gain acceptable yields for products 3ad and 3ae, although the enantioselectivities were very good. Gratifyingly, although no reaction was observed for αsubstituted styrene, 1H-indene was well compatible with the reaction, affording product 3aj in 68% yield and 95% ee. To be noted, aliphatic olefins showed almost no reactivity under the same reaction conditions.

Ni(ClO4)2 slightly increased enantioselectivity (77%), and the reaction of isopropyl ester substrate 1n delivered the product in 84% ee. The enentioselectivity was further improved to 92% when (S)-Segphos L8 was used as a ligand. Subsequently, a series of N-sulfonyl α-ketiminoesters and αmethylstyrenes were tested under these conditions and the results were listed in Table 4. Enantioselectivities were generally excellent (90-95%) for the reactions of N-sulfonyl αketiminoesters bearing either electron-donating or electronwithdrawing substituents at C3-C5 position on the benzene ring. However, the yields were influenced unfavorablely for those bearing electron-withdrawing substituents (7a-7d vs 7e7h). Substituent effect of α-methylstyrenes was also evaluated, and the reactions afforded the desired products 7i-7n in excellent enantioselectivities with modest to good yields. The results showed broad substrate scope of the asymmetric ene reaction of N-sulfonyl α-ketiminoesters.

Scheme 2. Optimization of ene reaction between N-sulfonyl α-ketiminoester and α-methylstyrene As shown in Scheme 2, whenα-methylstyrene 4a was tested as a substrate in this reaction, homoallylic amide 5 was isolated in good yield and with modest ee (75%), while the expected addition product 6 was isolated in very poor yield but with 91% ee. The difference observed in ee values implied different reaction pathways for the formation of compounds 5 and 6. The formation of compound 6 was proposed to proceed through a benzylic carbocationic intermediate generation and subsequent β-proton elimination (an aza-Prins mechanism), however, product 5 was likely formed through a pericyclic process (ene reaction pathway). To the best of our knowledge, the asymmetric ene reaction of ketimine has remained undocumented.13,14 Therefore, optimization of the ene reaction was conducted to improve the enantioselectivity.

To confirm the scalability of the present protocol, the scaleup reaction of N-sulfonyl α-ketiminoester 1a with styrene was carried out and product 3aa was readily isolated in 72% yield and 95% ee (Scheme 3).15 Transformation of 3aa to compound 9 were then conducted (Scheme 4). Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation of 3aa in methanol at room temperature afforded 8 in 97% ee. Subsequent treatment of 8 with BzCl in ether led to compound 9 in 75% yield and with complete preservation of enantiopurity. The absolute configuration of 9 was then determined to be R based on its X-ray analysis, which conversely implied the R configuration of product 3aa.

In summary, we have developed a highly enantioselective nickel-catalyzed addition of styrenes to N-sulfonyl αketiminoester. A broad scope of optically active benzofused 5membered sultams containing alkenylated or allylated αquaternary amino ester framework are obtained, which are anticipated to be potential bioactive compounds or drug precursors for medicinal applications. Meanwhile, either the direct addition of styrenes to imines or the ene reaction of ketimines provide a novel and efficient route to chiral allylic or homoallylic amine derivatives, which significantly expanded our understanding of this important class of C-C bond forming reactions.
