ABSTRACT: A phosphine-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation of isatin-derived α,β-unsaturated ketones with alkynoates for the synthesis of cyclopentene spiro-oxindole skeletons has been developed. This reaction afforded the desired products in high to excellent yields (up to 99%) with high regioselectivity and moderate to high diastereoselectivities (up to 20:1). This strategy allows facile diastereoselective preparation of biologically important spiro-(cyclopentene) oxindoles containing three contiguous stereocenters, including the quaternary stereogenic center joining the two rings.



INTRODUCTION The regioselective and stereoselective preparation of biologically relevant spirooxindoles, which contain a tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenter at the C-3 position, is challenging and has led to a demand for efficient methods for their synthesis.1 Among the family of spirooxindoles, the spirooxindoles with carbocyclic five-membered rings behave a key pharmacophore in many bioactive natural products, such as citrinadins,2 cycloplamines,3 versicolamides, and notoamides,4 as well as in synthetic bioactive compounds.5 Consequently, much effort aimed toward identifying general methods for the synthesis of these spirocyclopentene oxindole scaffolds has been made.6 The challenging point is that biologically relevant spirooxindoles often display a stereogenic all-carbon quaternary center at the C3-position, the stereochemistry of which must be controlled through appropriate synthetic strategies.7 Considering the intriguing molecular architecture and potent biological activities, various protocols have been developed to synthesize this class of molecules. However, the diastereoselective synthesis of five-membered spirooxindole, especially functionalized all-carbon spirocyclopentene oxindole containing three contiguous stereocenters still remains a challenging task.8 In 2013, Marinetti and Voituriez developed the phosphinepromoted synthesis of 3,3-spirocyclopenteneoxindoles by [3 + 2] annulations between γ-substituted allenoates and arylideneoxindoles (Scheme 1, a).9 Huang and co-workers described a phosphine-catalyzed Rauhut−Currier domino reaction of conjugated diene with methyleneindolinones for the synthesis of carbocyclic spirooxindoles (Scheme 1, b).10 Even though many phosphine-involved reactions have been discovered, few efforts so far have been focused on the strategy for spiro-fused penteneoxindole framworks employing alkynoate derivatives as substrates.11 Recently, a nucleophilic-phosphine-catalyzed © 2017 American Chemical Society

annulation of electron-deficient alkynes has emerged as a powerful tool for the construction of various biologically active carbocycles12 and heterocycles13 containing spiro-oxindole skeletons. We have recently reported the regio- and stereocontrolled synthesis of cyclopentene-fused spiro-rhodanines through phosphine-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of alkynoate derivatives with 5-arylidene-3-tert-butyl-2-thioxothiazolidin-4ones (Scheme 1, c).14 Inspired by our previous studies on the use of alkynoate derivatives in the [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction, in this report, we describe phosphine-catalyzed highly diastereoselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition between 5-arylpent-2ynoates and methyleneindolinones in the synthesis of cyclopentene-fused spiro-oxindole skeletons. This methodology led to molecules containing three contiguous stereocenters, including one spiro quaternary carbon center, in good to excellent yields and stereoselectivities with up to >20:1 diastereomeric ratio (dr).



RESULT AND DISCUSSION

We initiated our investigation by evaluating the reaction of ethyl 5-phenylpent-2-ynoate 1a and (Z)-methyleneindolinone 2a with toluene as the solvent in the presence of 20 mol % of triphenylphosphine (PPh3) at room temperature (Table 1, entry 1). Unexpectedly, triphenylphosphine failed to catalyze the reaction. No product was obtained after 24 h, and 1a was completely recovered. We assumed that the lack of reaction was due to the weak nucleophilic ability of the phosphine. Therefore, we turned our attention to more active phosphine catalysts (Table 1, entries 2−6). With sterically bulky methyldiphenylphosphine (Ph2PMe) as the catalyst, the desired Received: June 26, 2017 Published: September 12, 2017 10121

(Bu3P) emerged as the preferred catalyst in terms of yield and diastereoselectivity (Table 1, entries 3−6). This result, in line with the nucleophilicity of the phosphines, showed that the efficiency of formation of these skeletons is highly catalystdependent. Subsequently, solvent effects were investigated for this reaction. Various solvents, such as THF, DCM, MeCN, and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), were scanned, but no better results could be obtained (Table 1, entries 7−10), nor did toluene lead to a satisfactory yield and diastereoselectivity. Further studies suggested that reduced reaction time disfavored this reaction, and when the reaction time was shortened to 12 h, the reaction yield decreased to 82% with 8:1 dr (Table 1, entry 11). Decreasing the loading of catalyst and the reaction temperature led to a decrease of the diastereoselectivities and yields (Table 1, entries 12 and 13). Finally, we confirmed the optimal reaction conditions for this transformation as 0.15 mmol of ethyl 5-phenylpent-2-ynoate 1a, 0.10 mmol of (Z)methyleneindolinone 2a, and 20 mol % of PBu3 as a catalyst in 1 mL of toluene as a solvent at room temperature. The diastereomeric ratio of product was determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy of the crude product. In order to determine the relative configuration of the major diastereomer 3a, a singlecrystal X-ray diffraction study of 3a was performed (see the details in the Supporting Information).15 The molecular structure of 3a showed that the relative configuration of the main product was assigned as threo. We then examined the scope and limitations of this reaction between alkynoate derivatives 1 and diversified (Z)-methyleneindolinones 2. In the case of compound 2, either bearing a neutral, electron-withdrawing, or electron-donating group at the 5-, 6-, or 7-position of the benzene ring of N-methylisatins, the reactions proceeded smoothly to give cyclopentene 4-spirooxindoles 3 in good to excellent yields with moderate to excellent diastereoselectivities (Table 2). However, when the

substituent was at the 5-position with an electron-withdrawing group of the benzene ring of N-methylisatin 2k and 2l, the spiro compounds 3p and 3q were obtained in somewhat lower yields with lower diastereoselectivities (Table 2, entries 16 and 17). Furthermore, it was observed that the steric hindrance of the ester substituent of (Z)-methyleneindolinones 2 has no effect on the result (Table 2, entries 6−8). Exchanging the Nprotecting group with Bn also gave the cyclic adducts in good yields with moderate diastereoselectivities (Table 2, entries 19 and 20). Finally, selected alkynoates 1 were further examined in the cycloaddition reaction with representative (Z)-methyleneindolinones 2. The substituents in the alkynoates 1 were well tolerated, leading to formation of desired products in good yields and moderate diastereoselectivities (Table 2, entries 12− 20). We were delighted to find that the aliphatic substituted alkynoate derivative, ethyl but-2-ynoate (1d), underwent smooth sequential annulations with 2h and 2a, respectively, to give the corresponding products (i.e., 3i and 3u) in good yields with excellent diastereoselectivities (Table 2, entries 9 and 21). The regiochemical outcome of this reaction may be rationalized as depicted in Scheme 2. On the basis of steric considerations, this [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction can take place via the transition state TS I, which would be expected to be favored over the more sterically demanding transition state TS II. Thus, we obtained regioisomer A as our product. In order to gain insight into the influences the product stereochemical outcome of this reaction, we carried out one

This result suggested that the starting material 10123

product 3a has not been determined) (Table 3, entry 6). However, with P6 as chiral catalyst, the attempt to improve the enantioselectivity by decreasing the reaction temperature to 0 °C failed, only affording the cycloaddition product in 49% yield and 53% ee (Table 3, entry 7). Increasing the reaction temperature to 60 °C leads to a higher yield with excellent diastereoselectivity and 58% ee (Table 3, entry 8). The mechanism of this [3 + 2] annulation reaction is proposed on the basis of previous literature16 as shown in Scheme 4. The catalyst phosphine as a nucleophile reacts with ethyl 5-phenylpent-2-ynoate 1a to produce the zwitterionic intermediate A, which can isomerize to intermediate B. Intermediate B subsequently undergoes a Michael addition to generate the intermediate C, which further undergoes an intramolecular cyclization to furnish the phosphorene D. Intermediate D can be converted to intermediate E via an Hshift. Releasing the phosphine, the products 3 are finally furnished. The reaction rate and diastereoselective product distribution of 3 are attributed to the steric hindrance effects and electronic repulsions between benzyl group of alkynoate and tributylphosphonium.

alkyleneindolinone 2 cannot determine the product 3 stereochemical outcome. Preliminary studies on the asymmetric variant of this phosphine-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation between methyleneindolinone and alkynoate derivatives were also investigated by employing several chiral phosphines as catalyst. The [3 + 2] annulation of ethyl 5-phenylpent-2-ynoate 1a with ethyl (Z)-2(1-methyl-2-methyleneindolin-3-ylidene) acetate 2a was selected as a model reaction (Table 3).

CONCLUSION In conclusion, we developed an efficient phosphine-catalyzed diastereoselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition of alkynoate derivatives with (Z)-methyleneindolinone, affording the functionalized 5spiro-cyclopenteneoxindole derivatives in good to excellent yields, with high regioselectivities and diastereoselectivities. Two new C−C bonds together with three contiguous stereocenters, including one spiro quaternary chiral center, were formed. Further studies on the reactions of activated alkynoate derivatives to complex molecular synthesis are currently underway in our laboratory and will be reported in due course.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

General Methods. All reactions were performed under N2 atmosphere in oven-dried glassware with magnetic stirring. Solvents were dried and distilled prior to use according to the standard methods. Unless otherwise indicated, all materials were obtained from commercial sources and used as purchased without dehydration. Flash column chromatography was performed on silica gel (particle size 10− 40 μm, Ocean Chemical Factory of Qingdao, China). Nitrogen gas (99.999%) was purchased from Boc Gas, Inc. 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl3 on Bruker 400 MHz spectrometers, and TMS served as internal standard (δ = 0 ppm) for 1H NMR and 13 C NMR. The crystal structure was determined on a Bruker SMART 1000 CCD diffractometer. Mass spectra were obtained using an electrospray ionization (ESI-TOF) mass spectrometer. Optical rotations were taken on a digital polarimeter. Enantiomeric excesses were determined using an HPLC instrument with Chiralpak columns as noted. Experimental Methods.
