Enantioselective Synthesis of Biaryl Atropisomers Pd/Norbornene-Catalyzed Three-Component Cross-Couplings

Linlin Ding, Xianwei Sui and Zhenhua Gu* Department of Chemistry, Center for Excellence in Molecular Synthesis, Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, University of Science and Technology of China, 96 Jinzhai Road, Hefei, Anhui 230026, P. R. China ABSTRACT: Three-component cross-coupling cocatalyzed by palladium and norbornene is reported for the synthesis of biaryl atropisomers. This domino reaction gave optimal yield and enantioselectivity with a P,C-type ligand bearing axial chirality and P chiral center. The process showed advantages over traditional cross-coupling because of its step economy and its compatibility with readily available ortho-substituted aryl halides, which could, therefore, be used instead of continuously trisubstituted aryl halides.

INTRODUCTION Biaryl atropisomers show chirality due to restricted rotation about a single aryl-aryl bond, and biaryl atropisomeric substructures exist in many biologically active natural products (Figure 1, A and B).1-4 These substructures provide chiral skeletons for ligands and catalysts in asymmetric catalysis (Figure 1, C and D).5-8

Figure 1. Atropisomerism in Natural Products and Ligands The most straightforward way to prepare biaryl atropisomers is asymmetric aryl-aryl cross-coupling or oxidative coupling of phenols.9-20 Nevertheless other methods have been developed to construct axially chiral biaryls with good substituent-loading capability.21 For example, the (dynamic) kinetic resolution, asymmetric [2+2+2]cycloaddition were efficient protocols for the construction of chiral atropisomers.22-37 Chiral atropisomers have also been created via organo-catalyzed asymmetric [3,3]sigmatropic rearrangement of N,N’-binaphthyl hydrazines and by asymmetric Michael addition of 2-naphthols to quinones.3840 Till now, several excellent ligands and catalytic systems have been developed for preparing chiral atropisomers. Some of these ligands and catalysts show extremely high activity and enantioselectivity even in the case of bulky aryl-aryl asymmetric cross-couplings (Scheme 1A). However, these methods of preparing biaryl atropisomers still have their own limitations. For example, continuously trisubstituted aryl halides must be prepared through a tedious sequential procedure (Scheme 1B), and some multi-substituted aryl halides with certain substituents at certain positions simply cannot be prepared through the known methods. Some reactions may be adaptable to the synthesis of biaryl atropisomers, thereby allowing the preparation of a greater

diversity of these compounds. The Pd/norbornene-catalyzed domino reaction known as the Catellani reaction, developed in 1997, enables both ipso and ortho functionalization of aryl halides.41-49 The groups of Catellani, Lautens and others have synthesized numerous complex aromatic compounds through ortho alkylation or arylation of aryl halides50-59 or indoles,60 or through C-H functionalization of arenes.61-62 In 2013, the Dong group reported the first palladium/norbornene-catalyzed orthoamination.63 In 2015, our group and the groups of Liang and Dong independently achieved ortho-acylation.64-67 Subsequently, Dong and co-workers selectively cleaved the C(O)-O bond of mixed carbonate anhydrides and introduced an α-alkoxylcarbonyl group.68 We hypothesized that we could use a three-component coupling strategy to prepare biaryl atropisomers. Based on the Catellani group's pioneering work on Suzuki-type termination,69 we reasoned that palladium and norbornene could cocatalyze addition of the R2 group adjacent to the C-X bond, followed by asymmetric cross-coupling to construct the axially chiral bond (Scheme 1C). Ortho-substituted aryl halides in the presence of appropriate electrophiles can take the place of continuously trisubstituted aryl halides, which are more difficult to prepare. This three-component strategy should be step-economical and highly divergent through variations of the three components. On the other hand, the strategy is more complex than classic cross-couplings, and the stoichiometric norbornene may coordinate with the palladium catalyst, affecting stereoinduction and reactivity.

atropisomeric chirality of ligands L6a, L6b, L7a and L7b was highly stable; HPLC analysis on the chiral stations revealed no evidence of racemization. Ligand L7a was isolated from the mixture of L7a and L7b and used as the optimized ligand in cross-coupling reactions. The configuration at the P chiral center was unambiguously established through single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of PdCl2-L7a complex 9 (Scheme 2).73 Cσ-Pd bonding was observed in the crystal structure. L7a acts as a P,C-ligand, whose analogues demonstrated a substantial acceleration of Suzuki-Miyaura coupling in the previous reports.74 With these ligands in hand, we continued to optimize the reaction conditions. The diastereomers L6a and L6b differed slightly in stereoinduction (entries 6-7). L7a showed the highest enantioselectivity of 86:14 er, while L7b afforded product 4a without any enantioselectivity (entries 8-9). This enantioselectivity rose to 89:11 after the reaction temperature was lowered to 60 oC (entry 10). Screening of palladium sources identified the combination of Pd(TFA)2 and bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carbaldehyde as optimal in terms of yield and enantioselectivity (entries 11-14). Table 1.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION In our initial trials, we used chloromethyl benzoate 2a as the electrophile; this compound can serve as a functionalized methylene group. We reasoned that the resulting (benzoyloxy)methyl group in the products would readily undergo postmodification, providing access to structurally divergent atropisomers. In our experiments, reactions with bidentate phosphines such as DIOP or BINAP afforded very low yield or even no product. Screening of monodentate phosphine ligands L1-L3 (Scheme 2) led to enantioselectivities up to 76:33 er (Table 1, entries 1-3). Replacing the methoxyl group in the phosphine ligand L3 with a dimethylamino group [L4 (MAP) and L5 (KenPhos)] improved both yield and enantioselectivity (entries 4 and 5). Next we focused on the modification of an L4-type ligand. Known procedures were used to synthesize a class of ligands bearing a chiral phosphine atom (L6a, L6b, L7a and L7b; Scheme 2). Amino iodide 6 was prepared on the gram scale from (R)-[1,1'-binaphthalene]-2,2'-diamine 5 within four steps.70-71 Palladium-catalyzed phosphorylation afforded phosphine oxides 7 and 8 in excellent yields with a pair of diastereomers bearing a P chiral center.72 These diastereomers were separated by column chromatography on silica gel, but they isomerized during reduction with phosphine oxide at high temperature. HSiCl3 directly reduced stereoisomers 7 and 8 to give the corresponding phosphines, whose diastereomers were successfully separated by column chromatography on silica gel. Heating L7b in toluene created an equilibrium between L7a and L7b. The ratio of L7a : L7b gradually increased upon heating to 110 oC in toluene, reaching a maximal value of 0.94 : 1.0. This ratio did not increase further upon prolonged heating (see Supporting Information). The

ACS Catalysis or nitrile groups failed to give the desired products under the optimal conditions (see Supporting Information). Table 2. Substrate Scopea

Scheme 2. Chiral Ligands After optimizing the conditions of this three-component asymmetric cross-coupling, we examined its substrate scope (Table 2). The following chloromethyl coupling components were found to give similar enantioselectivity: substituted benzoates (4b-4i, 4l-4v), pivalate (4j) and 2-naphthoate (4k). In the end, chloromethyl 3-nitrobenzoate was preferable because the resulting products were easier to purify from byproducts. The ortho aldehyde functionality in aryl boronic acids was necessary for good enantioselectivity, whereas introducing a fluoro or chloro atom adjacent to the aldehyde group increased er to 94:6 and 95:5, respectively (4c and 4d). Addition of fluoro, chloro or trifluoromethyl groups meta to the aldehyde did not substantially affect yield or enantioselectivity (4e-4g). Adding an electron-donating methoxyl group adjacent to the aldehyde significantly reduced product yield (4h), while adding a methyl group para to the aldehyde slightly decreased enantioselectivity (4i). Adding electron-withdrawing or donating substituents (nitro, methyl, fluoro) to the 4-position of 1-iodonaphthalene (4l-4n) did not substantially affect the reaction. Enantioselectivity reached 96:4-98:2 er when we used 4sulfonamide-substituted 1-iodonaphthalenes (4o-4s). A rotamer pair was detected by NMR at room temperature, which may arise because the substituted benzoate interferes sterically with the sulfonamide group, restricting the latter's rotation. However, the single isomer was observed and clear NMR spectroscopies could be obtained by taking NMR at an elevated temperature. Performing the reaction at 1.0 mmol scale gave the desired product 4t without loss of enantioselectivity. Introducing a 6methoxyl group into 1-iodonaphthalene only marginally affected yield and selectivity (4u). The absolute configuration of the axial chirality of 4v was unambiguously determined as R based on single-crystal x-ray diffraction.75 Phenyl boronic acids bearing ortho nitro, methoxylcarbonyl, methylcarbonyl

The reactions were carried out with 1 (0.157 mmol), 2 (0.392 mmol, 2.5 equiv), 3 (0.314 mmol, 2.0 equiv), palladium (10 mol %), NBE* (0.314 mmol, 2.0 equiv), phosphine ligand (11 mol %) and K2CO3 (0.471 mmol, 3.0 equiv) in CH3CN (2.0 ml). Reactions were incubated at 60 °C for 22 h. The yields are isolated yields of 4.NBE* = Bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carbaldehyde.

To rationalize this domino reaction, we propose a plausible catalytic cycle based on previous studies by Catellani's group and others (Scheme 3). Oxidative addition of Pd(0) with 1iodonaphthalene 1a gives arylpalladium intermediate I. Insertion of norbornene into the C-Pd bond, followed by carbopalladation, gives II. A second oxidative addition of II with chloromethyl benzoate 2a affords Pd(IV) intermediate III, which undergoes reductive elimination to yield IV. Norbornene extrusion gives α-alkylated arylpalladium V, which undergoes classic Suzuki coupling to afford the final product 4a.

REFERENCES Scheme 3. A Plausible Catalytic Cycle Finally, we demonstrated the synthetic usefulness of our novel three-component coupling by preparing optically active atropisomers (Scheme 4). Vinylation of 4t delivered styrene analogue 10t in excellent yield, and the (benzoyloxy)methyl group was then converted into an aldehyde functionality without loss of enantiopurity. Reduction of 4t with LiAlH4 gave diol 12t in 74% yield, and this diol was smoothly transformed into the corresponding dibromo compound 13t. This dibromide can serve as a versatile precursor in nucleophilic substitutions.

Scheme 4. Synthetic Applications

CONCLUSION In summary, we report the first asymmetric catalytic synthesis of biaryl atropisomers via palladium/norbornene co-catalysis. The best enantioselectivity of up to 98:2 er was obtained using the P,C-type ligand L7a bearing axial and P center chirality. This strategy shows high step economy and relies on readily available ortho-substituted aryl iodides instead of continuously trisubstituted aryl halides, which are more tedious to synthesize.
