Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of Quaternary Carbons Bearing Two Aryl Substituents. Enantioselective Synthesis of 3-Alkyl-3-Aryl Oxindoles by Catalytic Asymmetric Intramolecular Heck Reactions was written by Dounay, Amy B.;Hatanaka, Keiko;Kodanko, Jeremy J.;Oestreich, Martin;Overman, Larry E.;Pfeifer, Lance A.;Weiss, Matthew M..

A practical sequence involving three consecutive palladium(0)-catalyzed reactions has been developed for synthesizing 3-alkyl-3-aryloxindoles in high enantiopurity. Butenanilide I (R = Bu3Sn) is prepared in two steps by lithiation of propargyl Me ether, addition of the acetylide to 3-benzyl-2-benzooxazolidinone, and triflation of the free phenoxide followed by palladium-catalyzed regioselective addition of tributyltin hydride to the alkyne. I (R = Ph, 4-MeOC6H4, 3-pyridyl, 4-AcNHC6H4, 1-naphthyl, 2-O2NC6H4, 3-Me-2-O2NC6H3, 1-benzyl-7-indolinyl, 1-benzyl-3-indolyl, 2-BocNHC6H4, 2-BnNHC6H4, 1-benzyl-3,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-7-indolinyl) are prepared by chemo- and stereoselective Stille cross-coupling of butenanilide I (R = Bu3Sn) with aryl or heteroaryl iodides in the presence of Pd2(dba)3.CHCl3, tri(2-furyl)phosphine, and copper (I) iodide. Catalytic asym. Heck cyclization of I (R = Ph, 4-MeOC6H4, 3-pyridyl, 4-AcNHC6H4, 1-naphthyl, 2-O2NC6H4, 3-Me-2-O2NC6H3, 1-benzyl-7-indolinyl, 1-benzyl-3-indolyl, 2-BocNHC6H4, 2-BnNHC6H4, 1-benzyl-3,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-7-indolinyl) in the presence of palladium (II) acetate and either (R)-BINAP or (R)-p-tol-BINAP yields arylindolines such as II containing diaryl-substituted all-carbon quaternary carbon centers in 14-95% yields and in 71-98% ee. Indolinones possessing a wide variety of aryl and heteroaryl substituents, including ones of considerable steric bulk, are prepared by this method. Heck cyclization of precursors with aryl substituents containing ortho nitro or basic amine functionalities or the bulky N-alkyl-7-oxindolyl group is sluggish or does not occur. Heck cyclizations with dimethyloxindolyl-substituted Heck precursors give both oxindoles and quinolinones; for the 1,3,3-trimethyloxindolyl-substituted compound, the replacement of 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethylpiperidine with 1,8-dimethylaminonaphthalene (Proton Sponge) increases the regioselectivity of Heck cyclization for the desired oxindole over quinolone byproducts while the corresponding 1-benzyl-3,3-dimethyloxindolyl-substituted compound undergoes cyclization mainly to quinolinone byproducts under the same conditions. Heck cyclization of a butenanilide containing an N-acetyl-N-benzylaminophenyl group yields stereoisomers derived from hindered rotation of the aryl-nitrogen bond; the atropisomers are formed directly from substrate as they interconvert very slowly under the reaction conditions. The rotational barrier between the atropisomers is determined by variable temperature NMR methods. Both atropisomers possess the same absolute stereochem. at their quaternary carbon centers. The asym. Heck reaction has potential use in the preparation of polycyclic indole alkaloids such as psycholeine and quadrigemine C. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (2S,4S)-Pentane-2,4-diylbis(diphenylphosphine) (cas: 77876-39-2Reference of 77876-39-2).
