Heck reactions cyclic

Intramolecular reactions with alkenes. While the intermolecular reaction is limited to unhindered alkenes, the intramolecular version permits the participation of even hindered substituted alkenes, and various cyclic compounds are prepared by the intramolecular Heck reaction. Particularly the...

The double-Heck-approach can also be employed for the preparation of novel heterocyclic compounds as 6/1-25 and 6/1-26 (Scheme 6/1.4) [24]. Thus, the palladium-catalyzed reaction of 6/1-21 and the cyclic enamide 6/1-22 gave a Oil-mixture of 6/1-23 and 6/1-24, which in a second Heck reaction using the palladacene 6/1-15 led to 6/1-25 and 6/1-26 in an overall yield of 44—49%. The synthesis can also be performed as a domino process using a mixture of Pd(OAc)2 and the palladacene 6/1-15. 

The intramolecular Heck reaction is an appropriate method for the synthesis of all types of cyclic compounds such as normal, medium, and large rings [29]. Using... 

The Heck reaction, a palladium-catalyzed vinylic substitution, is conducted with olefins and organohalides or pseudohalides are frequently used as reactants [15, 16], One of the strengths of the method is that it enables the direct monofunctionalization of a vinylic carbon, which is difficult to achieve by other means. Numerous elegant transformations based on Heck chemistry have been developed in natural and non-natural product synthesis. Intermolecular reactions with cyclic and acyclic al-kenes, and intramolecular cyclization procedures, have led to the assembly of a variety of complex and sterically congested molecules. 

Palladium-catalyzed arylation of olefins and the analogous alkenylation (Heck reaction) are the useful synthetic methods for carbon-carbon bond formation.60 Although these reactions have been known for over 20 years, it was only in 1989 that the asymmetric Heck reaction was pioneered in independent work by Sato et al.60d and Carpenter et al.61 These scientists demonstrated that intramolecular cyclization of an alkenyl iodide or triflate yielded chiral cyclic compounds with approximately 45% ee. The first example of the intermolecular asymmetric Heck reaction was reported by Ozawa et al.60c Under appropriate conditions, the major product was obtained in over 96% ee for a variety of aryl triflates.62... 

Intermolecular, enantioselective Heck reactions require a cyclic olefin as substrate, since syn carbopal-ladation of a cyclic olefin results in a geometrically defined a-alkyl-palladium compound. By necessity, the subsequent syn dehydropalladation must take place away from the newly formed chiral centre, thereby affording a chiral product. 

Significant developments in this area have been reported by Overman as well As illustrated in Scheme 5, a Pd-catalyzed asymmetric Heck reaction leads to the formation of cyclic amide 24 subsequent treatment with aqueous acid delivers 29 in 84 % yield and 93 % ee151 Optically pure 25 is obtined after recrystallization (80% recovery). Follow-up functionalization, shown in Scheme 5, affords either physostigmine 26 or physovenine 27 It is difficult to imagine an alternative, and nearly efficient or selective, approach to the construction of these target molcules. 

The use of cyclic alkenes as substrates or the preparation of cyclic structures in the Heck reaction allows an asymmetric variation of the Heck reaction. An example of an intermolecular process is the addition of arenes to 1,2-dihydro furan using BINAP as the ligand, reported by Hayashi [23], Since the addition of palladium-aryl occurs in a syn fashion to a cyclic compound, the 13-hydride elimination cannot take place at the carbon that carries the phenyl group just added (carbon 1), and therefore it takes place at the carbon atom at the other side of palladium (carbon 3). The normal Heck products would not be chiral because an alkene is formed at the position where the aryl group is added. A side-reaction that occurs is the isomerisation of the alkene. Figure 13.20 illustrates this, omitting catalyst details and isomerisation products. 

The decrease of polarity starts well under the critical point and the dielectric constant of water is approximately 31 at 225 °C and 100 bar such systems are referred to as high temperature water (HTW). Moreover, the polarity can be adjusted by changing the temperature and pressure in order to dissolve certain organic components of a catalytic reaction mixture. Under such conditions Heck reaction of iodobenzene and various cyclic alkenes, catalyzed by [Pd(OAc)2] afforded coupled products in 17-54% yield [52]. 

So-called domino or cascade reactions have become more and more important for the efficient synthesis of complex organic molecules [1211. In this respect methyl 2-chloro-2-cyclopropylideneacetate (1-Me) has been used as a dieno-phile to trap cyclic dienes which were produced by intramolecular Heck reactions in Diels-Alder cycloadditions. Thus, the spirocyclopropanated functionalized bicyclo[4.3.0lnonenes 248,250 (Fig. 11) were obtained from the bromo-diene 247 or enynes 249 in 56-83% yield (Scheme 71) [122,1231. 

The Heck reaction is a synthetically powerful reaction wherein a carbon-carbon bond is formed between two sp hybridized carbon atoms. The syn nature of the addition of vinyl-aryl palladium species to carbon-carbon double bond precludes a syn p-hydride elimination for cyclic olefins. As a result, a new chiral center is formed. Shibasaki and Vogl provided a comprehensive review of this subject in 1999 440 Overman and Donde reviewed the intramolecular version of this reaction in 2000. Pfaltz and co-authors specifically reviewed this reaction using PhosOx ligands. ... 

Intramolecular variants of this reaction are often utilized in the synthesis of (poly)cyclic systems, while the intermolecular variant of the transformation is the key step in one of the most frequently studied and utilized carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, the Heck reaction (for details see Chapter 2.2.). 

The Heck reaction is well developed as a method for alkylating aromatics. Frank Glorius of the Max-Planck-lnstitute, Mulheim, reports (Tetrahedron Lett. 44 5751,2003) that chloroacetamides and bromoacelonitrile can also be activated by catalytic Pd to give the coupled products. This reaction works well with enol ethers, to give highly functionalized alkenes, but it also works well with a simple cyclic alkene.

Analogs of cyclic peptides have been prepared using a variety of spacers and reaction conditions to achieve the macrocyclization. These include olefin metathesis (Section 5.2.3), nucleophilic substitution (Sections 8.2 and 7.2.3), and the Heck reaction [82]. 

Free-radical cyclization reactions nicely complement the Pd(0)-catalyzed intramolecular Heck reaction, which also provides cyclic products from unsaturated halides. Free radicals can be generated easily at saturated carbons from saturated alkyl bromides, and the products are reduced relative to the reactants. In contrast, intramolecular Heck reactions work best for vinyl and aryl bromides (in fact they do not work for alkyl halides), and the products are at the same oxidation level as the reactants. Moreover, free radicals attack the double bond at the internal position, whereas palladium insertion causes cyclization to occur at the external carbon. 

Whereas the intermolecular Heck reaction is limited to unhindered alkenes, the intramolecular version permits the participation of even hindered substituted alkenes, and many cyclic compounds can be prepared by the intramolecular Heck reaction [37]. The stereospecific synthesis of an A ring synthon of la-hydroxyvitamin D has been carried out. Cyclization of the (7T)-alkene 88 gives the (fT)-exo-diene 90, and the (Z)-alkene 91 affords the (Z)-exo-diene 92 [38]. These reactions are stereospecific, and can be understood by cis carbopalladation to form 89 and the. sun-elimination mechanism. 

The palladium-catalyzed arylation and alkenylation of olefins, which were first discovered in the 1970 s by Heck (7,2) and Mizoroki (3) and have been often called the "Heck reaction", are versatile synthetic means for making a carbon-carbon bond. These reactions have been extensively used for organic synthesis during the past two decades (4-7). However, no reports on the "asymmetric Heck reaction" have been appeared until very recently. Shibasaki reported an asymmetric intramolecular cyclization of alkenyl iodides to give c/j-decalin derivatives of 80-91% ee (8-10). Overman reported an intramolecular cyclization of alkenyl triflate, giving a chiral quaternary carbon center of 45% ee (77). We report herein the first example of intermolecular asymmetric Heck-type arylation of cyclic olefins catalyzed by (7 )-BINAP-coordinated palladium complexes (Scheme 1) (12,13).

The second Heck reaction involves a naphthyl iodide (Ar2 = 2-naphthyl) but the initial mechanism is much the same. However, the enol ether has two diastereotopic faces syn or anti to the aromatic substituent (Ar1) introduced in the first step. Palladium is very sensitive to steric effects and generally forms less hindered complexes where possible. Thus coordination of the palladium(II) intermediate occurs on the face of the enol ether anti to Ar1. This in turn controls all the subsequent steps, which must be syn, leading to the trans product. The requirement for syn p-hydride elimination also explains the regiochemical preference of the elimination. In this cyclic structure there is only one hydrogen (green) that is syn the one on the carbon bearing the naphthyl substituent is anti to the palladium and cannot be eliminated.. ... 

Although the catalytic version of the Heck reaction, as defined by Eq. 1 of Scheme 3, was discovered as early as the 1971-1972 period by Mizoroki [4] and Heck [5], it was not until the mid-1980s that examples of its cyclic version shown at the top of Scheme 5 [9,10] were reported. In fact, no example of the cyclic Heck reaction appears to be described in a comprehensive survey of the Heck reaction published in 1982 [3]. 

Although this chapter focuses its attention on cyclic carbopalladation reactions other than the cyclic Heck reaction, it might be useful to discuss here the following variants of the cyclic Heck reaction. For the vast topic of the cyclic Heck reaction including those variants discussed below, the reader are referred to the following chapters of the Handbook of Organopalladium Chemistry for Organic Synthesis [40]. 

Seminal contributions to the development of asymmetric cyclic Heck reaction were made in 1989 by Overman [72] and Shibasaki [73]. These and other groups have since developed the reaction as a useful tool for asymmetric synthesis of complex natural products as indicated by representative examples shown in Schemes 20 [74-76] and 21 [77-79]. For further details, the readers are referred to recent reviews [43,57].
