Abstract

The rapid generation of molecular in a relatively easy manner has made the cycloaddition reaction a powerful tool in the synthesis of different membered ring compounds. Clearly, iron catalysts are becoming a much more interesting and viable choice for this purpose. In this review, a number of promising results in the iron catalyzed cycloaddition reactions in the last decades were summarized. Special attention has been paid to the asymmetric cycloaddition reactions.

Diastereodivergent Synthesis of Pentacyclic Spiroindolines via a Magnesium(II)-Catalyzed Cascade Reaction of N,N′-Cyclic Azomethine Imines with Indolyl-Substituted Isocyanides

Jianfeng Zheng, Lin Yang, Xin Dai, Lvli Chen, Luhao Tang, Yuqiao Zhou, Wei-Dong Z. Li

Summary: Magnesium-(II)-catalyzed cascade reactions of N,N'-cyclic azomethine imines with indolyl-substituted isocyanides were conducted. The method showed high tolerance towards different functional groups and had a wide range of substrates. A series of anti-pentacyclic spiroindolines with N,N'-fused heterocycle skeletons were obtained in good yields (up to 82%) with high selectivity (8.5:1 dr) under mild conditions. Interestingly, a sequential HOAc-mediated protonation led to diastereoenriched epimerization, resulting in the formation of exclusively syn-pentacyclic spiroindolines.

Robust Analytical Methods for Monitoring the Formation of a Chiral Oxazaborolidine Catalyst

Sloan Ayers, Gregory L. Beutner, Wei Ding, Carolyn Higman, Charles Pathirana, Robert Wethman

Summary: Having reliable methods to monitor catalyst activation processes is crucial for ensuring the reproducibility of catalytic reactions. For asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions, chiral oxazaborolidine or oxazaborolidinium catalysts are powerful reagents that promote these reactions with high yield and selectivity. By investigating the mechanism, several modern analytical methods are compared to quantitate the formation of oxazaborolidine catalyst from amino alcohol and boroxine, leading to useful monitoring methods for this important transformation.

Dipolarophile-Steered Formal Stereodivergent Synthesis of 2,5-cis/trans-Pyrrolidines Based on Asymmetric 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Imino Lactones

Shohei Furuya, Kenji Muroi, Kazuya Kanemoto, Shin-ichi Fukuzawa

Summary: The stereodivergent asymmetric synthesis of 2,5-trans/cis pyrrolidines by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition using two different types of activated alkenes is described. The reaction using ylidene-isoxazolones as dipolarophiles produced 2,5-trans pyrrolidines, while the reaction using acyclic enones as activated alkenes afforded 2,5-cis substituted pyrrolidines.

Xingxing Wu, Reto M. Witzig, Rodolphe Beaud, Christian Fischer, Daniel Haeussinger, Christof Sparr

Summary: This study demonstrates that control over sixfold stereogenicity can be achieved through stereoselective catalysis, offering a new approach to address previously unsolvable challenges in stereocontrol. By controlling a configurationally stable stereogenic axis, selective formation of one of the six stereoisomers is achieved.

Organocatalytic enantioselective reaction of tertiary α-(7-indolyl)methanols with tryptamines

Zhibin Yue, Boming Shen, Jie Cao, Xuling Chen, Fang Fang, Pengfei Li, Peiyuan Yu, Wenjun Li

Summary: With the use of chiral phosphoric acid as a catalyst, an enantioselective 1,6-addition of tryptamines to alkynyl 7-methylene-7H-indoles derived from tertiary alpha-(7-indolyl)methanols has been developed. This reaction provides a wide range of axially chiral tetrasubstituted allenes featuring indole and hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole units in good to high yields and with asymmetric induction. DFT calculations have been performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism and understand the origin of stereoselectivity.

Pd-Catalyzed Tandem [5+2] Cycloaddition/Ring Contraction of Phthalide-Derived Alkenes and Vinylethylene Carbonates for the Construction of Benzo-[5,5]-spiroketal Lactones

Qiang Xiong, Ji Lu, Liu Shi, Guang-Yao Ran

Summary: In this work, a new method of annulation using phthalide-derived activated alkenes is disclosed. Under Pd(0) catalysis, an unprecedented [5 + 2] cycloaddition/ring-contraction tandem process is developed for activated tetrasubstituted alkenes derived from phthalides or butyrolactone. This method provides an efficient and mechanistically distinct approach to benzo-[5,5]-spiroketal lactones and [5,5]-spiroketal lactones bearing two vicinal tetrasubstituted centers with high diastereoselectivity.

Sc(OTf)3 catalyzed [3+2]-annulation reaction of donor-acceptor aziridines with methylene exo-glycals: synthesis of chiral carbohydrate-spiro-heterocycles

Jie-Hui Zhang, Cheng-Lin Pan, Huan-Huan Zhang, Peng-Fei Xu, Yong-Chun Luo

Summary: A Sc(OTf)3 catalyzed [3 + 2]-annulation reaction has been developed for the conversion of donor-acceptor aziridines and exo-glycals into carbohydrate-spiro-heterocycles, yielding proline analogues and polycyclic compounds. This reaction also revealed the stereochemistry characteristic of the reaction between racemic D-A aziridines and chiral enolethers.

Multiple Activation Catalyst for Asymmetric [4+2] Cycloaddition of Aldehydes with Dienes

Rei Tomifuji, Shunpei Murano, Satoru Teranishi, Daiki Kuroda, Takuya Kurahashr, Seijiro Matsubara

Summary: The enantioselective oxa-Diels-Alder reaction of nonactivated substrates using FeCl3 and a 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) derived chiral phosphoric acid as a multiple activation catalyst was successfully achieved in this study. Various oxygen-containing six-membered heterocycles were synthesized in high yields and in an enantioselective manner. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed the synergistic activation of two lone pairs of an aldehyde by both Lewis acidic and Bronsted acidic moieties in the catalyst system to facilitate enantioselective addition reaction of dienes.

Diastereo- and Enantioselective Inverse-Electron-Demand Diels-Alder Cycloaddition between 2-Pyrones and Acyclic Enol Ethers

Guanghao Huang, Regis Guillot, Cyrille Kouklovsky, Boris Maryasin, Aurelien de la Torre

Summary: A broadly applicable diastereo- and enantioselective inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction of 2-pyrones and acyclic enol ethers is reported, leading to the synthesis of bridged bicyclic lactones with high yields and enantioselectivities using a copper(II)-BOX catalytic system. Mechanistic studies suggest a stepwise mechanism, and the synthetic potential of the bridged bicyclic lactones is demonstrated through the enantioselective synthesis of polyfunctional cyclohexenes and cyclohexadienes, as well as a carbasugar unit.

Chiral-at-Iron Catalyst for Highly Enantioselective and Diastereoselective Hetero-Diels-Alder Reaction

Yubiao Hong, Tianjiao Cui, Sergei Ivlev, Xiulan Xie, Eric Meggers

Summary: This study introduces a new chiral-at-iron catalyst that can achieve high enantioselectivities in asymmetric reactions by increasing steric hindrance at the catalytic site. The catalyst was applied to the inverse electron demand hetero-Diels-Alder reaction and showed excellent diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities. Other electron rich dienophiles, such as vinyl azide, are also suitable for this catalyst.

Thermally Stable Redox Noninnocent Bathocuproine-Iron Complex for Cycloaddition Reactions

Mae Feo, Nikki J. Bakas, Aleksa Radovic, William Parisot, Anne Clisson, Lise-Marie Chamoreau, Mansour Haddad, Virginie Ratovelomanana-Vidal, Michael L. Neidig, Guillaume Lefevre

Summary: In this work, the design of stable iron(0) complexes with a phenanthroline-type ligand (phen) for cycloaddition catalysis is explored. The utilization of phen ligand in reduced iron oxidation states is challenging due to its strong noninnocence, resulting in unstable species. However, by strategically protecting the C4 and C7 positions of the phen ring, a stable (N,N)2Fe complex is obtained, which exhibits excellent thermal and kinetic stability and can be easily used as a precursor in catalytic processes. The electronic structure and catalytic activity of this noninnocent complex in alkyne [2 + 2 + 2] cyclizations are discussed.
