Organocatalytic Asymmetric Halocyclization of Allylic Amides to Chiral Oxazolines Using DTBM-SEGPHOS-Mechanistic Implications from Hammett Plots |
Abstract | ||
---|---|---|
The intramolecular halocyclization of alkenes possessing an internal heteroatom nucleophile leads to multifunctional heterocycles which are useful versatile intermediates in organic synthesis. The asymmetric chlorocyclisation of 2-substituted allylic amides gives access to chiral oxazolines bearing a chloromethyl moiety for further synthetic manipulation. The literature reports on this transformation involve complex syntheses of the 2-substituted allylic amides and cryogenic temperatures for achieving high enantioselectivities in the organocatalyzed halocyclization step. Based on the Heck reaction of aryl bromides and Boc-protected allylamine or allylamine benzamides, we developed a practical synthesis of 2-substituted allylic amides that does not require chromatography and accomplished their asymmetric halocyclization reaction with 24-92%ee under practical conditions (5 degrees C, CpME) catalyzed by (S)-(+)-DTBM-SEGPHOS. In addition, using appropriately substituted substrates, we generated Hammett plots and formulated a consistent mechanism for the halocyclization reaction which involves two competing modes of formation of the haliranium intermediate whose relative kinetics are governed by the electronic properties of the substrate. |
