Enantioselective Organo-SOMO Cycloadditions: A Catalytic Approach to Complex Pyrrolidines from Olefins and Aldehydes

Abstract: A new method to rapidly generate pyrrolidines via a SOMO-activated enantioselective (3 + 2) coupling of aldehydes and conjugated olefins has been accomplished. A radical-polar crossover mechanism is proposed wherein olefin addition to a transient enamine radical cation and oxidation of the resulting radical furnishes a cationic intermediate which is vulnerable to nucleophilic addition of a tethered amine group. A range of olefins, including styrenes and dienes, are shown to provide stereochemically complex pyr… Show more

“…This process occurs via stoichiometric oxidation of a transiently formed enamine to generate a 3πe − enaminyl radical intermediate. This electrophilic SOMO species can then be intercepted by a variety of prefunctionalized olefins and, following an additional oxidation event, can lead to a number of α-functionalized adducts 14,15 . While the generality of this 3πe − enaminyl radical activation mode has been demonstrated, widescale adoption has been restricted due to (1) the requirement of two equivalents of a stoichiometric oxidant per bond formation and (2) the need for pre-generated π-nucleophilic olefin partners (for example, silyl ketene acetals, allyl silanes) that can engage the electrophilic 3πe − enaminyl radical.…”

“…[6c,f,g, 7] Die direkte Bildung von 1,4-Diketonen kann durch den gemeinsamen Einsatz von Cu-und Organokatalysatoren mit MnO 2 als Oxidationsmittel erreicht werden. [8] Die verwandte Addition von 1,3-Dicarbonylverbindungen an Olefine ist besser untersucht, [5,9] ebenso wie die Alkylierung [10] und Acylierung [11] mit Aldehyden.

“…The group has reported a new protocol to rapidly construct enantioenriched pyrrolidines using β-amino aldehydes and π-nucleophilic olefins (Scheme 17). 21 The authors report that "as a critical design feature, the starting materials and catalysts are commercial materials or easily prepared, allowing rapid and modular production of a variety of pyrrolidine cores". A wide variety of substrates was screened, all yielding good to excellent enantiomer ratios, but with varying levels of diastereomeric control.…”
