TADDOL hetero-Diels-Alder reaction

A simple, commercially available chiral alcohol, a,a,a a -tetraaryl-l,3-dioxo-lane-4,5-dimethanol (TADDOL, 7a), catalyzes the hetero- and carbo-Diels-Alder reactions of aminosiloxydienes with aldehydes and a-substituted acroleins to afford the dihydropyrones and cyclohexenones, respectively, in good yields and high enan-tioselectivities. More recently, it was reported that axially chiral biaryl diols 7b and 7c were more highly effective catalysts for enantioselective hetero-Diels-Alder reactions (Scheme 12.5). ... 

Because a comprehensive discussion of the transition state of hydrogen-bond catalysis will be presented by Berkessel in Chapter 3, the hydrogen bond catalyzed hetero Diels-Alder reaction of butadiene with carbonyl compounds will be discussed briefly here. Huang and Rawal reported that the hetero Diels-Alder reaction of aminodiene with aldehyde exhibited significant solvent effects (Scheme 2.7) [15]. The reaction in CHCfi was accelerated 30 times in comparison with that in THF, while that in i-PrOH was accelerated 630 times. They proposed that the Diels-Alder reaction was promoted by the hydrogen-bond activation of aldehyde. This finding resulted in the development of TADDOL catalyst [3].

The enantioselechve hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of carbonyl compounds with 1,3-dienes represents an elegant access to optically active six-membered oxo-heterocy-cles. Since the pioneering work of Rawal et al. in 2003 [40], the enantioselective HDA reaction catalyzed by diols (such as TADDOLs) has become a flourishing field of research [41].

In 2002, Huang and Rawal found that the hetero Diels-Alder reaction of aminosiloxydienes with aldehydes was accelerated in alcoholic solvents [65], They subsequently elucidated that TADDOL (19) is an efficient chiral catalyst for the hetero-Diels-Alder reaction (Figure 10.17, Equation 10.33) [66]. The internal hydrogen bond in TADDOL observed in its crystal structure is expected to render the hydroxy proton more acidic, hence enabling it to participate better in intermolecular hydrogen bonding with the carbonyl group of the dienophile [67]. The Mukaiyama aldol reaction was also reported [68].

Despite efforts made to improve enantioselectivities by supporting TADDOL-titanium catalyst, the homogeneous conditions remain the best ones. BINOL was also reported as an efficient ligand, however, to our knowledge supported-BINOL-titanium complexes were not studied in the asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions. In contrast, BINOL was extensively studied in the hetero-Diels-Alder reaction and in particular in the pericyclic rearrangement of several aldehydes and electron-rich and highly regioselective Danishefslqr s diene (84) that provide access to 2-substituted-2,3-dihydro-4/f-pyran-4-ones 85 (Scheme 7.50). 

Wu and his co-workers reported an experimental and theoretical study on the hydrogen-bond-promoted enantioselective hetero-Diels-Alder reaction (HAD) of Danishefsky s diene 105 with benzaldehyde 106, Scheme 3.37 [52], The reaction was achieved catalytically by a series of a,ct,a, a -tetraaryl-l,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanol (TADDOL) derivatives through hydrogen-bonding activation and afforded 2-phenyl-2, 3-dihydro-4H-pyran-4-one 108 in good enantioselectivity.

In 2(K)3, Rawal reported the use of TADDOLs (tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolan-4,5-dimethanol) as chiral H-bonding catalysts to facilitate highly enantioselective hetero-Diels-Alder reactions (393). Not surprisingly, this impressive protocol has soon found its way into the repertoire of organic chemists interested in natural product synthesis (394, 395). 

In 2003, Rawal reported the use of TADDOLs 177 as chiral H-bonding catalysts to facilitate highly enantioselec-tive hetero-Diels-Alder reactions between dienes 181 and different aldehydes 86 (Scheme 6.29A) [82], and also BINOL-based catalysts 178 were found to facilitate this reaction with excellent selectivities [83]. TADDOLs were also successfully used as organocatalysts for other asymmetric transformations like Mukaiyama aldol reactions, nitroso aldol reactions, or Strecker reactions to mention a few examples only [84]. In addition, also BINOL derivatives have been employed as efficient chiral H-bonding activators as exemplified in the Morita-Baylis-Hilhnan reaction of enone 184 with different carbaldehydes 86 [85]. The use of chiral squaramides for asymmetric reactions dates back to 2005 when Xie et al. first used camphor-derived squaric amino alcohols as ligands in borane reductions [86]. The first truly organocatalytic application was described by Rawal et al. in 2008 who found that minute amounts of the bifunctional cinchona alkaloid-based squaramide 180 are...
