Abstract

In this work, we introduced a multifunctional Ag(I)/CAAA-amidphos complex catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of acrylates with α-imino esters, affording a series of 2,4,5-trisubstituted endo-pyrrolidines in good yields (up to 97%) with high enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). Meanwhile, the catalytic system was also applied in the three-component one-pot reaction of α-imino esters formed in situ under the action of N,N′-diisopropylcarbodiimide. In addition, the gram-scale reaction was realized for the formal synthesis of (+)-ibophyllidine in eight steps.

Key words

1,3-dipolar cycloaddition - α-imino esters - acrylates - three-component - one-pot reaction - (+)-ibophyllidine

9 The absolute conﬁgurations of the known products endo-4aa, endo-4ac, endo-4pa, and endo-4pb were assigned by HPLC and optical rotation comparisons with the reported data (see ref. 6a,c,e and the Supporting Information), and those of other adducts were deduced on the basis of these results.
10 For the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of the methyl cinnamate, see the Supporting Information.
11 Melting points are uncorrected. ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker AV-400 spectrometers in CDCl₃ unless otherwise noted. CDCl₃ served as internal standard (δ = 7.26) for ¹H NMR and (δ = 77.0) for ¹³C NMR. IR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Alpha FT-IR spectrophotometer. High-performance liquid chromatography was carried out using an Agilent 1260 apparatus which was equipped with a spectrophotometric detector (monitoring at 205–230 nm) using a Daicel chiral AS-H column, OD-H column, and AD-H column. High-resolution mass spectrometry was recorded with a Micromass LCMS-IT-TOF instrument. Optical rotations were measured on a Insmark IP-digi300/2. X-ray diffraction analysis was measured on a Bruker Apex-II CCD diffractometer with monochromatic Mo Kα radiation. Most chemical reagents were purchased from Adamas-beta® Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China), aladdin® Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China), and Sigma-Aldrich Co. (St. Louis, Missouri, USA) and were used as received without further purification. All reactions were carried out under argon atmosphere in oven-dried glassware with magnetic stirring. Organic solutions were concentrated under reduced pressure on a Büchi rotary evaporator. Reactions were monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) on silica gel precoated glass plates (qingdaohaiyang, GF254). Chromatograms were visualized by fluorescence quenching with UV light at 254 nm or potassium permanganate stains. Flash column chromatography was performed using silica gel 200-300 (particle size 0.0040–0.0750 mm) from Qingdaohaiyang.

General Procedure A of the Ag₂CO₃/1g-Catalyzed Cycloaddition of Various Imino Esters 3 Under N₂ atmosphere, a solution of precatalyst 1e (0.008 mmol) and Ag₂O (0.004 mmol) in toluene (1.4 mL) in a flame-dried glass tube with aluminum foil was stirred for 1 h at room temperature, followed by the addition of the acrylate 2 (0.2 mmol) and imino ester 3 (0.3 mmol). Once starting material was consumed (monitored by TLC), the mixture was purified by column chromatography to give the corresponding cycloaddition product endo-4, which was then directly analyzed by chiral HPLC. General Procedure B of the Ag₂CO₃/1g-Catalyzed Three-Component Reaction of α-Imino Esters Generated in situ To a solution of tert-butyl glycine (31.5 mg, 0.24 mmol) in toluene (1 mL) was added the aldehyde 5 (0.24 mmol) and N,N′-diisopropylcarbodiimide (1.9 mg, 0.24 mmol), which was stirred for 2 h at room temperature. Then, a solution of precat. 1e or 1f (5.56 mg, 0.008 mmol) and Ag₂O (0.93 mg, 0.004 mmol) in toluene (0.2 mL), stirred for 1 h, was mixed with the above solution, followed by methyl acrylate 3a (17.2 mg, 0.2 mmol) dropwise at –5 °C. The reaction was monitored by TLC plate, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to afford the corresponding cycloaddition product 6, which was then directly analyzed by chiral HPLC.

Synthesis of {(2R,3S,5S)-2-[1-(Methylsulfonyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-1-tosyl-5-vinylpyrrolidin-3-yl}methanol (9) To a well-stirred suspension of lithium aluminum hydride (197 mg, 5.2 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (5.4 mL) at –45 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere was slowly added a solution of 8 (732 mg, 1.3 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (5 mL).

The reaction mixture was cooled to –35 °C, and the saturated sodium bicarbonate was slowly added to destroy the excess of the hydride. The mixture was diluted with diethyl ether, washed with saturated ammonium chloride (2 × 30 mL), saturated sodium bicarbonate (2 × 30 mL) and saturated sodium chloride, and dried over Na₂SO₄. The solvent was removed in vacuo to afford the crude product as a colorless oil. The next step followed without any processing. Preparation of ylide solution: KOt-Bu (346.6 mg, 2.86 mmol) was added to MePPh₃Br (1.025 g, 2.86 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (8.6 mL).
