Asymmetric organocatalysis methods have emerged as a powerful methodology for the construction of highly enantioenriched structural skeletons of the target molecules. Due to their extensive application of organocatalysis in the total synthesis of bioactive molecules and some of them have been used in the industrial synthesis of drugs have attracted increasing interests from chemists. Among the chiral organocatalysts, chiral secondary amines (MacMillan’s catalyst and Jorgensen’s catalyst) have been especially considered attractive strategies because of their impressive efficiency. Herein, we outline advances in the asymmetric total synthesis of natural products and relevant drugs by using the strategy of chiral secondary amine catalyzed reactions of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes in the last eighteen years.

The correspond- ing monocyclic cyclopentenones are formed in good yields and excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectiv- ities. Further, the chemical utility of the obtained enantiopure cyclopentenones is demonstrated. nantiopure cyclopentenones are frequently used as key E building blocks toward, and are themselves present within, a variety of bioactive and/or complex natural products.1 Chemists have consequently devoted considerable effort to the development of enantioselective approaches to these important compounds. Commonly used techniques today include chemical or enzymatic resolutions,2,3 asymmetric functionali- zations of existing cyclopentenone units,1c or derivatizations of chiral-pool reagents.4 While effective, each of these strategies is conceptually inferior to synthetic methods that introduce chirality during the construction of the cyclic unit from simple starting materials, such as asymmetric Pauson−Khand reactions or Nazarov cyclizations.5,6 Unfortunately, the from https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.8b13899.

    General Papers ARKIVOC 2012 (vi) 101-111 Hydroxy-L-prolines as asymmetric catalysts for aldol, Michael addition and Mannich reactions Lo’ay A. Al-Momani* *Department of Chemistry, Tafila Technical University, P. O. Box 179,Tafila, 66110 Jordan E-mail: [email protected] DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3998/ark.5550190.0013.609 Abstract The hydroxyprolines (Hyps) 2-6 are tested as organocatalysts for aldol, Michael additions, and Mannich reactions. The results are compared with the well-known analogous L-proline (1).The effect of the additional hydroxyl group and chiral center was investigated in the three types of reactions. Catalyst 2 shows an enhancement in the stereoselectivity of the aldol reaction, while 3 in Michael addition and 5 in Mannich reaction give the best results. Derivatives of hydroxyprolines show diversity in the catalytic behavior like 6. Keywords: Hydroxyprolines, organocatalysis, chemoenzymatic synthesis, amino acids Introduction L-Proline (1) is one of the most well-known organocatalysts.1 It has been used over a wide range of organic synthesis reactions to obtain enantiomerically or diastereomerically highly enriched asymmetric products.2-4 It is used as an asymmetric catalyst for the synthesis of -hydroxy ketones via aldol additions,5-11 Michael addition reactions,12-15 and -amino ketones via Mannich reactions.16,17 The importance of L-proline (1) – more than all other amino acids as catalyst – derives from the fact that it is the only secondary proteinogenic amino acid, and it has a special rigidity which could control the stereochemistry through the formed imine/enamine intermediate.16-20 Moreover, L-proline is a natural amino acid, and it is available in very pure form and is inexpensive.

The system has proven to be highly efficient and displays excellent selectivities (er and dr) with a wide variety of substrates. Detailed deactivation studies have given valuable insights, thus allowing the lifespan of this immobilized aminocatalyst to be significantly extended. These data have facilitated the implementation of enantioselective, continuous flow processes allowing either the multigram synthesis of a single Michael adduct over a 13 h period or the sequential generation of a library of enantiopure Michael adducts from different combina- tions of substrates (13 examples, 16 runs, 18.5 h total operation). A customized in-line aqueous workup, followed by liquid−liquid separation in flow, allows for product isolation without the need of chromatography or other separation techniques.

  • 1,5 Difunctionalised Compounds, Michael Addition and Robinson Annelation
    Two Group C-C Disconnection : 1,5 Difunctionalised compounds, Michael Addition and Robinson Annelation. 1,5 dicarbonyl compounds (I) can be disconnected at either α,β bond in a reverse Michael reaction. All the previous questions of control remain so , therefore there should be an activating group on enolate III to ensure both enolisation at this site and Michael rather than direct addition to II. The COOEt group serves the purpose very well. The cyclic ketone (IV) is best disconnected where ring and chain meet and synthon (V) is best represented by malonate. Synthesis Activation by enamine formation Use of enamine as specific enol equivalents Enamines are equally useful in Michael reactions. Enamines (VI) adds cleanly to acrylic ester (VII) in Michael fashion and the first formed product (VIII) is in equilibrium with (IX) . Hydrolysis of (IX) in aqueous acid releases 1,5 dicarbonyl product(X). Michael acceptor by Mannich reaction Vinyl ketones are very reactive and dimerise readily by Diels Alder reaction to give I .It is better not to make them until they are needed. Synthon (23) was represented by an enamine and vinyl ketone (24) could be made by the Mannich reaction. This can be done by using alkylated Mannich base instead of vinyl ketone which decomposes under the basic conditions used for Michael reaction to release the vinyl ketone into the reaction mixture. Here the alkylated Mannich base acts as vinyl ketone equivalent. Cyclic ketone with exo-methylene group eg. II are usually protected in this way, as the exposed CH2 group is very electrophilic. In the synthesis of III an alkylated Mannich base has been used in place of a vinyl ketone.
