Alkene isomerisation

• β-Hydride elimination is reversible• This alkenes can ‘walk’ or migrate to give the most stable alkene• Only restriction is every step must be syn

Enantioselective Heck reaction

• With the use of chiral ligands the Heck reaction can be enantioselective• Intramolecular variant allows the construction of ring systems• The silver salt accelerates the reaction and prevents alkene isomerisation

Enantioselective Heck reaction in total synthesis

• (+)-Xestoquinone was isolated from the Pacific sponge Xestospongia sapra (not shown!) and is a potent irreversible inhibitor of both the oncogenic protein tyrosine kinase pp60V-src encoded by the Rous sarcoma virus & the human epidermal growth factor kinase (EGF)

• The first total synthesis involved two Heck reactions; the first is enantioselective to give a quaternary centre and the second gives a second 6-ring

Suzuki-Miyuara reaction

• The Suzuki-Miyuara reaction is (normally) the palladium catalysed coupling of an alkenyl or aryl halide with an alkenyl or aryl boronic acid

• Normally the components should be sp2 hybridised to avoid β-eliminations• Mechanism etc is (surprise surprise) outside the scope of this course but the

wonderful enantioselective examples are not...

Enantioselective biaryl formation

• Virtually every (if not every...) reaction we have covered in this course has formed a stereogenic centre (central chirality)

• These two examples form axially chiral compounds• Please note: both ligands are thought to be mono-dentate (in the active species at

least, although they may be bidentate in ‘resting state’) via the phosphine

Enantioselective Pd catalysed allylic substitution

• Displacement of good leaving group (OAc, OCO2R, halide, epoxide etc.)• Normally by soft nucleophile • Not direct displacement but via a palladium η3 complex

Regio- and stereoselectivity

• Palladium initially adds to the opposite face to the leaving group (although possible equilibrium)

• Soft nucleophiles (large, diffuse charge) usually attack from opposite face to PdLn• Normally the nucleophile will add to the least hindered end of the allyl system

(although ligand can can this)

Enantioselectivity

Allylic substitution in total synthesis

• (–)-Swainsonine can be isolated from locoweeds; in cattle it causes symptons similar to mad cow disease (BSE) - hence plants named after the Spanish for crazy

• In humans it shows anticancer, antiviral, and immunoregulatory properties• This synthesis is by Nicole Buschmann, Anke Rückert and Siegfried Blechert J. Org.

Other catalytic enantioselective reactions

• There are now a huge number of enantioselective reactions with more being invented / developed all the time

• It is highly unlikely that this research in this vast, fascinating field will slow in the foreseeable future...(well I hope not anyway)

• It should be possible to develop enantioselective variants of most reactions - even those that do not initially look set-up for such chemistry...

• Below is an example of a chiral variant of the Schrock metathesis catalyst• The reaction involves desymmetrisation by selective reaction if one disubstituted

Summary of methods for stereoselective synthesis

12

Method Advantages Disadvantages Examples

resolution both enantiomers available maximum 50% yield synthesis of (–)-propranolol

chiral pool 100% ee guaranteed often only 1 enantiomer available

synthesis of (R)-sulcatol

chiral auxiliary often excellent ee’s; built in resolving agent

extra steps to introduce and remove auxiliary

oxazolidinones

chiral reagent often excellent ee’s; stereoselectivity can be independent of substrate control

only a few reagents are successful and often only for a few substrates

alpine-borane®, Brown allylation reagents

chiral catalyst economical; only small amounts of recyclable material used

only a few reactions are really successful; frequently a lack of substrate generality

asymmetric hydrogenation; Sharpless epoxidation

• Hopefully this course has shown that the area of stereoselective synthesis (or more particularly, methodology for stereoselective synthesis) is a vast & fascinating topic

• There are many reactions we have not covered (there is already far too much material in the course)

• I hope you found the course as interesting as I did...
