Formal Synthesis of (+/-) Morphine Via an Oxy-Cope/Claisen/Ene Reaction Cascade Formal Synthesis of (+/-) Morphine via an Oxy-Cope/Claisen/Ene Reaction Cascade by Joel Marcotte Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science The University of Ottawa August, 2012 © Joel Marcotte, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 ABSTRACT For years now, opium alkaloids and morphinans have been attractive synthetic targets for numerous organic chemists due to their important biological activity and interesting molecular architecture. Morphine is one of the most potent analgesic drugs used to alleviate severe pain. Our research group maintains a longstanding interest in tandem pericyclic reactions such as the oxy-Cope/Claisen/ene reaction cascade and their application to the total synthesis of complex natural products. Herein we report the ventures towards the formal synthesis of (+/-)-morphine based on the novel tandem oxy- Cope/Claisen/ene reaction developed in our laboratory. These three highly stereoselective pericyclic reactions occurring in a domino fashion generate the morphinan core structure 2 via precursor 1 after only 7 steps. The formal synthesis culminated in the production of 3 after a total of 18 linear steps, with an overall yield of 1.0%, successfully intersecting two previous syntheses of the alkaloids, namely the ones of Taber (2002) and Magnus (2009). ii À ma famille, sans qui rien de cela n’aurait été possible iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to start by thanking my supervisor Dr. Louis Barriault, who has been my mentor in chemistry for the past three years. I am grateful for his guidance, patience and encouragements, especially when facing the many challenges that awaited me on this project. The freedom handed to me to create my own path and explore my own ideas coupled with Dr. Barriault’s endless source of advice and helpful discussions created an environment where one could easily learn and progress as a researcher, a problem-solver as well as a person. I also want to thank my parents (Colette and Daniel) who love me and supported me in the many ways that lessened the weight of the different burdens I faced in the last two years. I thank my brother (Raphael) for his endless source of entertainment and considerations. Finally I would like to extend a lot of gratitude and recognize the efforts made by my sweetheart of now 7 years (Cynthia) for tolerating me and my different mood swings, which depended on how chemistry treated me. This project and my accomplishments would not be the same without Kassandra Lepack who was my direct supervisor in the lab for my initial contact with chemistry in academic settings. I thank her for teaching me so much about chemistry as well as keeping my experiments clean and organized. I also want to thank Jason Poulin, for the many fruitful (and pointless but amusing) discussions about chemistry or life in general. As mentioned at some point in the document, he has had a significant impact on several experiments discussed therein. Thank you for being a co-worker but mostly, for being a good friend. On a similar note, I would like to thank Daniel and Genevieve for their uplifting attitude and unending source of entertainment, Boubacar for the numerous passionate discussions about technology, Travis, Frank, Pat, Gab, Guillaume for their frequent advices on many aspects of my project, Phil for his unique laugh and sense of humour and Steph for bearing with me during the last month of my degree. Finally my gratitude goes to the department of chemistry. I would like to specially thank several key staff members such as Dr. I Korobkov for achieving some difficult X-ray crystallography experiments as well as Dr. Beauchemin for the helpful discussions. I also want to thank Andrew Zlotorzynski for keeping us in a safe working environment and the numerous employees at the front desk and chemistry store for their help and professionalism. I would like to acknowledge and thank NSERC as well as the University of Ottawa for the funding received at the master’s level. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract

Keywords: aqueous reaction medium; MAOS; Mizoroki–Heck reaction; Pd nanoparticle; sustainable organic synthesis Abstract Aqueous Mizoroki–Heck coupling reactions under microwave irradiation (MW) were carried out with a colloidal Pd nanocatalyst stabilized with poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). Many stilbenes and novel heterostilbenes were achieved in good to excellent yields starting from aryl bromides and different olefins. The reaction was carried out in a short reaction time and with low catalyst loading, leading to high turnover frequency (TOFs of the order of 100 h−1). The advantages like operational simplicity, high robust- ness, efficiency and turnover frequency, the utilization of aqueous media and simple product work-up make this protocol a great option for stilbene syntheses by Mizoroki–Heck reaction. Introduction Palladium-catalyzed reactions have emerged as an important basic types of Pd-catalyzed reactions, particularly the vinyl- tool for organic synthesis. Among them, cross-coupling and ation of aryl/vinyl halides or triflates [7-10], explored not only coupling reactions have been broadly applied for C–C and in the inter- and intramolecular version [2,11-13], but also in C–heteroatom bond formation [1-6].

Heravi,* Vahideh Zadsirjan, Behnaz Farajpour Department of Chemistry, School of Science, Alzahra University, Vanak, Tehran, Iran Email: [email protected] Abstract Various chiral oxazolidinones (Evans' oxazolidinones) have been employed as effective chiral auxiliaries in the asymmetric alkylation of different enolates. This strategy has been found promising and successful when used as key step (steps) in the total synthesis of several biologically active natural products. In this report, we try to underscore the applications of Manuscript oxazolidinones as chiral auxiliary in asymmetric alkylation, and particularly in crucial chiral inducing steps in the total synthesis of natural products, showing biological activities.

  • Mechanisms of the Mizoroki-Heck Reaction
    P1: OTA c01 JWBK261-Oestreich December 16, 2008 10:9 Printer: Yet to come 1 Mechanisms of the Mizoroki–Heck Reaction Anny Jutand Departement´ de Chimie, Ecole Normale Superieure,´ CNRS, 24 Rue Lhomond, Paris Cedex 5, France 1.1 Introduction The palladium-catalysed Mizoroki–Heck reaction is the most efficient route for the vinyla- tion of aryl/vinyl halides or triflates. This reaction, in which a C C bond is formed, proceeds in the presence of a base (Scheme 1.1) [1, 2]. Nonconjugated alkenes are formed in re- actions involving cyclic alkenes (Scheme 1.2) [1e, 2a,c,e,g] or in intramolecular reactions (Scheme 1.3) [2b,d–g] with creation of stereogenic centres. Asymmetric Mizoroki–Heck reactions may be performed in the presence of a chiral ligand [2]. The Mizoroki–Heck reaction has been intensively developed from a synthetic and mechanistic point of view, as expressed by the impressive number of reviews and book chapters [1, 2]. In the late 1960s, Heck reported that arylated alkenes were formed in the reaction of alkenes with a stoichiometric amount of [Ar–Pd Cl] or [Ar–Pd–OAc], generated in situ by reacting ArHgCl with PdCl2 or ArHgOAc with Pd(OAc)2 respectively [3]. A mechanism was proposed which involves a syn migratory insertion of the alkene into the Ar–Pd bond, followedbyasyn β-hydride elimination of a hydridopalladium [HPdX] (X = Cl, OAc) (Scheme 1.4a). In the case of cyclic alkenes, in which no syn β-hydride is available, a syn β-hydride elimination occurs, leading to a nonconjugated alkene (Scheme 1.4b).
