Abstract

Described is a deprotonative α-arylation reaction of Meyers’s chiral bicyclic lactams (MCBLs) under palladium catalysis, and a substrate-dependent post-transformation. When the bridgehead carbon of the MCBLs is substituted with a methyl or an ethyl group, the initial arylation product undergoes a further rearrangement reaction to give a conjugated framework. On the other hand, substrates bearing a bridgehead isopropyl or aryl group are converted into the corresponding exo-arylation products. Preliminary studies indicated that the rearrangement pathway was promoted by deprotonation and was independent of palladium catalysis. In addition to mechanistic interests, this study demonstrates a modular and divergent synthesis of functionalized lactams.

  • 12 1-[(1S)-1-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpropyl]-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-one (3a) A 0.71 M solution of LiHMDS was prepared prior to use by adding a 2.5 M solution of BuLi in hexanes (2 mmol, 0.8 mL) to freshly distilled (TMS)2NH (2 mmol, 0.42 mL) in THF (2 mL) at 0 °C and then stirring for 15 min. A 0.71 M solution of LDA was also prepared prior to use by adding a 2.5 M solution of BuLi in hexanes (4 mmol, 1.6 mL) to freshly distilled i-Pr2NH (4 mmol, 0.56 mL) in THF (4 mL) at 0 °C and then stirring for 15 min. A round-bottomed flask was charged with the Meyers lactam 1a (1.0 mmol, 183 mg) and toluene (5.0 mL). The solutions of LiHMDS (1 equiv, 1.41 mL) and LDA (2.0 equiv, 2.82 mL) were added sequentially to the reaction flask at –78 °C, and the mixture was stirred for 2 h. The resulting mixture was transferred to a round-bottomed flask containing 4-bromoanisole (1.2 equiv, 1.2 mmol, 224 mg), Pd(OAc)2 (5 mol%, 11 mg), and PAd3 (6 mol%, 26 mg) at –78 °C. The cooling bath was removed, and the resulting mixture was stirred at r.t. for 1 h until the reaction was complete (TLC). The reaction was then quenched with aq NH4Cl and the mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite. The filtrate was diluted with EtOAc and extracted sequentially with H2O and brine. The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography [silica gel, hexanes–EtOAc (2:1)] to give a yellow oil; yield: 142 mg (49%); Rf = 0.33 (hexanes–EtOAc, 2:1).
