Ketimine Mannich reaction

Last updated

The ketimine Mannich reaction is an asymmetric synthetic technique using differences in starting material to push a Mannich reaction to create an enantiomeric product with steric and electronic effects, through the creation of a ketimine group. Typically, this is done with a reaction with proline or another nitrogen-containing heterocycle, which control chirality with that of the catalyst. This has been theorized [1] to be caused by the restriction of undesired (E)-isomer by preventing the ketone from accessing non-reactive tautomers. Generally, a Mannich reaction is the combination of an amine, a ketone with a β-acidic proton and aldehyde to create a condensed product in a β-addition to the ketone. This occurs through an attack on the ketone with a suitable catalytic-amine unto its electron-starved carbon, from which an imine is created. This then undergoes electrophilic addition with a compound containing an acidic proton (which is an enol). It is theoretically possible for either of the carbonyl-containing molecules to create diastereomers, but with the addition of catalysts which restrict addition as of the enamine creation, it is possible to extract a single product with limited purification steps and in some cases as reported by List et al.; [2] practical one-pot syntheses are possible. The process of selecting a carbonyl-group gives the reaction a direct versus indirect distinction, wherein the latter case represents pre-formed products restricting the reaction's pathway and the other does not. Ketimines selects a reaction group, and circumvent a requirement for indirect pathways.

Theory

It is well-known that Lewis acids and bases can influence carbonyl activity by either protonation of the oxygen or de-protonation of a beta-site to influence electrophilicity at the carbon. In the former case, there is a stabilization effect and priming for a potential leaving group by providing an equilibrium between a formal positive charge and an alcohol group. In either case, the carbon sees enhanced reactivity as the bonds are strained to equalize charge by seeking a nucleophile to which the building charge will equalize into in the subsequent reaction. Potentiation in such reactions is therefore generally driven by how well a material can produce and stabilize a charge gradient through resonance or inductive effects in substituents. The surfaces of acids can catalyze these effects by stabilizing the distortion of the carbonyl's electron cloud, leading to sensitivity in the reaction to acid-base conditions, with acidic conditions typically favoring reaction by enhancing carbonyl leavability.

Mannich reactions are named after their pioneer, Carl Mannich. After the discovery of Mannich reaction in 1912, he found that combination of a ketone, aldehyde and amine consistently produced an addition of the aldehyde unto the site originally containing an acidic β-proton in the ketone. He theorized the mechanism to be one of mixed-aldol; featuring the dehydration of an alcohol and Michael-Addition of the complex. The reaction suffered from a lack of specificity, and this problem persisted until 1997, in which an asymmetrical method was discovered independently by several researchers. Kobayashi [3] et al. used Brønsted-acid to demonstrate that the organic reaction could occur in an aqueous medium, and also found an enantiomeric excess of nearly 55%. It was hypothesized that one of the reactants must be using the acid surface to change its electronic structure since otherwise the mixture would be immiscible, though the study used chiral Lewis acid as catalyst. Prior, Hajos [4] et al. demonstrated a method by which L-proline could be used in an aldol-cyclization.

Subsequent studies have focused on improving the catalyst or materials through substituent effects, from which controls using sterics or restriction of charge sites are expected to improve catalytic yields. Alternatives to the catalyst are not readily explored due to the ubiquity of L-proline, its low cost, and its high selectivity; cementing its proliferation as a catalytic standard. L-proline restricted reactions through its five-membered ring which favours the addition of another reactant in a fixed direction. List [2] et al. theorize in their study that this restriction is primarily in the carboxylic-acid group next to the enamine attachment, which can stabilize the imine product. List also expands upon the role of the imine by listing its ratio with the aldehyde to be 1 using 1H-NMR methods, indicating that the Michael Addition is rate-determining and not the proline-complexation or, obviously, aldehyde activation. This is further confirmed in a Hammett study on para-substituted aromatic aldehydes, in which List confirmed positive correlation between withdrawing effect and increasing imine reactivity, a sign that Michael addition had to be happening with the former aldehyde as an electrophile. [2]

Substituent studies

Substituent studies have focused on increasing or decreasing steric or electronic influences on material to favor product. In 2012, [5] the first non-aromatic ketiminoester was produced with the capability of reduction into either syn- or anti- lactones with NaBH4 reduction. Kano et al. demonstrated a 20:1 excess of desired product, electrophilic enhancement of the ketone by different flanking esters.

Endocyclic ketimines without electron-withdrawing substituents

BINOL phosphoric acid-catalyzed Mannich reaction (2019)

Reddy and coworkers proposed the method to produce endocyclic N-acyl ketimines from a stable precursor, 3-aryl-3-hydroxyisoindolin-1-ones in 2019. The reaction yields a high stereoselectivity under high temperature as the adjacent quaternary and stereogenic centers creating chirality. [6] Meanwhile, if 3-hydroxy-3-pentylisoindoline-1-one is used, 95% enamide would be generated instead of Mannich product under the same mechanism.

Proline-catalyzed direct asymmetric Mannich reaction of 3-substituted-2H-1,4-benzoxazines (2013)

In 2013, Wang and coworkers studied using 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazines to produce N-heterocyclic products. [7] This reaction was the first catalytic asymmetric Mannich reaction of 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazines. The aromatic ring strain in 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazines helps increase reactivity of the C=N double bond and gives the considerable yield with no electron withdrawing substituents. Similar mechanism also occurred in the reaction catalyzed by wheat germ lipase in 2016 provided by Guan, He and coworkers. [8]

Copper-catalyzed asymmetric Mannich reaction of 2H-azirines with β-keto amides (2018)

In 2018, Lin, Feng, and coworkers developed the first copper-catalyzed catalytic enantioselective Mannich reaction using 2H-azirines and β-ketoamides. [9] The racemic 2H-azirines was first applied and one enantiomer of the 2H-azirine would react with chiral Cu-enolated complex to help overcome its three neighbouring stereogenic centers and gave proper products.

Copper(I)-catalyzed asymmetric decarboxylative Mannich reaction of 2H-azirines (2019)

In 2019, Yin and coworkers used 2H-azirines as an electrophile and a base at the same time to deprotonate cyanoacetic acid and thus a further decarboxylation could proceed. Proton transfer strategy was also discussed since the protonated 2H-azirine obtains high electrophilicity while nonprotonated ones does not even react with exact same environment. Various substituents on both nucleophile and electrophile gave high enantiomer-enriched yields of azirines. [10]

Zn-ProPhenol catalyzed asymmetric Mannich reaction of 2H-azirines with alkynyl cycloalkyl ketones (2020)

In 2020, Trost and coworker proposed a Mannich reaction of 2H-aziridines with alkylnyl cycloalkyl ketones under a bimetallic Zn-ProPhenol complex as the catalyst. The bimetallic Zn-ProPhenol complex employed in the reaction to activate both nucleophile and electrophile since the compound obtains a Bronsted basic site and a Lewis acidic group at chiral center at the same time. The hydrogen bonding between N from aziridine and H from carbonyl group might also contribute chirality centred at nitrogen atom. In this case, N-H bond acetylation product was also generated from the reaction. [11]

Chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed Mukaiyama–Mannich reaction of endocyclic N-acyl ketimines (2020)

In 2020, Zhang, Ma, and coworkers used 3-hydroxyisoindolin-1-ones to produce endocyclic N-acyl ketimines by chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed Mukaiyama–Mannich reaction. Difluorinated silyl enol ethers are involved to produce enantioenriched fluoroalkyl-functionalized isoindolones first. Through the reaction under different conditions, two features were discovered. Firstly, hexafluoroisopropyl alcohol could enhance the reactivity and enantioselectivity. Secondly, reaction is better catalyzed by catalyst with trifluoromethyl group chiral barriers. [12]

Isatin-derived ketimines

Isatin-derived ketimine commonly undergoes catalytic asymmetric Mannich reaction to generate 3-substituted-3-aminooxindoles. The structure could be found in various natural or biological molecules, and such reaction could lead to enantio-enriched products. Moreover, the isatin-derived ketimines are comparatively reactive as an electrophile and thus was commonly used in various methods or reactions.

Morimoto, Ohshima, and coworkers applied decarboxylative Mannich reaction on N-unprotected isatin-derived ketimines in 2018. [13] The researchers applied an enantio-enriched chiral oxindoles on the 3-positions with primary amines. In this case, substrates with less substituted groups are more likely to undergo Mannich reactions with higher yield. Also, this routine allows a great range of ketoacids to react with ketimines before decarboxylation and generate Mannich products.

Wolf and coworkers further developed a copper-catalyzed stereo-divergent Mannich reaction in 2020. [14] Isatin-derived ketimines first react with α-fluoro-α-arylnitrile and result in a chiral cuprous keteniminate complex. Then, BTMG would act as a nucleophile and the stereoselectivity would be determined by the chosen of chiral ligands. From experiment, Segphos–copper complex generated anti diastereomers while Taniaphos complex results in syn diastereomers.

Feng and coworkers used chiral N,N' -dioxide/Zn(II) complexes to catalyze silyl enol ethers and ketimines in 2019. [15] The reaction started with an α-alkenyl addition of silyl enol ethers. Dioxide (compound 21 and 22 in scheme 20) was proved to the best reaction condition for a wide range of isatin-derived ketimines to generate great yield of products with high stereoselectivity. Pyrazolinone-derived ketimines are also found to be suitable substates. The mechanism demonstrates that Mukaiyama–Mannich addition intermediates produced β-amino silyl enol ethers as product.

Acyclic ketimines with electron-withdrawing groups and/or alkynes

Esters, perfluorinated alkyl, or alkyne groups are good electrophiles, that can be used to form ketimine enolate with different nucleophiles. However, subtle differences in ketimine structures can significantly affect stereoselectivities and yields. Nevertheless, many medicinally and synthetically significant chiral structure can be created by creative design on modified ketimines.

In 2016, a novel direct asymmetric Mannich reaction of ketiminoesters with thionolactones were proposed by Terada et al. by using bis(guanidino)iminophosphorane as a chiral organosuperbase catalyst. (scheme 21) [16] Comparing to thionolactones as an appropriate nucleophile, lactone is not acidic enough to be enolized by base catalyst, which makes lactone unable to act as a nucleophile. For electrophiles, having proper substituents on benzoyl protecting group can improve yields and diastereoselectivity. For instance, comparing to trifluromethyl group on ketiminoester, methoxy substituents gives much lower yield and selectivity.

In 2016, direct asymmetric catalytic Mannich reaction of an alpha, beta-unsaturated gamma-butyrolactam with ketiminoesters was proposed by Kumagai el al. using soft Lewis acid/hard Brønsted base cooperative catalysis. (scheme 22) [17] As a result, alpha-addition products were synthesized from alpha,beta-unsaturated gamma-butyrolactams onto ketimines through asymmetric catalysis, which is a novel catalytic asymmetric reaction. The corresponding phosphinoyl protected ketiminoester did not react without the cooperative catalysis by the soft Lewis acid / hard Bronsted base, which means the interaction between copper catalyst (as soft Lewis acid) and thiophosphinoyl protecting group of ketimines (as soft Lewis base) is significant for this successful Mannich reaction.

In 2017, a direct enantioselective Mannich reaction with an N-unprotected trifluoromethyl ketiminoester was proposed by Morimoto et al. (scheme 23) [18] The unprotected N-H ketimines alleviate problems caused by E/Z isomerism in the asymmetric catalytic reactions, although they generally have lower stability. Morimoto et al. showed that the unprotected N-H ketimines are able to react with malonates, esters, oxindoles, and cyclic beta-keto-nitiles under different temperatures to give products whose diastereoselectivities can be controlled under asymmetric catalysis.

In 2018, Zn-ProPhenol was used to catalyze asymmetric Mannich reaction of butenolides with perfluoroalkyl alkynyl ketimines, which is proposed by Trost et al. (scheme 24) [19] Several features about this reaction were reported: 1. Ketimines are more electrophilic, resulted by fluorinated groups 2. Alkyne group has less steric effect, and its high s character makes ketimines more electrophilic 3. Steric difference between alkynyl and perfluoroalkyl groups would give ketimines in a single diastereomeric form, which is critical for high stereoselectivities. The reaction is broad in scope, which allows further contribution in medicinal field and synthetic chemistry.

Chiral amines like amino acid derivatives can catalyze many enantioselective transformations, although enantiomers of amino acids are hard to access sometimes. In 2019, Lan et al. proposed a strategy to apply their chiral amine catalyst with minimal modification to the Mannich reaction of alkynyl ketiminoesters. (scheme 25) [20] Their application shows that catalyst 26 and MeCN can be replaced by 28 and dichloroethane for many alkynyl trifluoromethyl-, pyrazolinone-derived-, and isatin-derived ketimines to give the same stereoselectivities and yields.

It is hard to control E/Z selectivity for ketimines having two structurally similar substituents, which makes such kind of ketimines merely used in asymmetric catalysis field comparing to ketimines that have single diastereomeric form. In 2021, Kano et al. proposed method to use alkynyl ketimines as synthetic equivalents of dialkyl ketimines, and dialkyl ketimes are a typical example of isomeric ketimine mixtures. The alkynyl groups can be reduced by hydrogenation back to corresponding alkyl groups. Moreover, a single diastereomeric alkynyl alkyl N-protected ketimines can be obtained by using steric difference between alkyl and alkynyl group, which makes them be stereoselectively controlled by chiral catalyst to give asymmetric Mannich product. Additionally, small steric hindrance and high s character of alkynyl group result in its high nucleophilicity, making alkynyl-substituted ketimines more reactive than alkyl counterparts. Even though additional step of hydrogenation is needed, the advantages provided by alkynyl group are still impressive. To solve the problem that a single diastereomeric form of N-Boc alkyl alkynyl ketimines are difficult to access, Kano et al. proposed a synthesis to form these ketimines (reaction 1 and 2), followed by operating chiral amine-catalyzed Mannich reactions (reaction 3). (scheme 26) [21] The chiral amine catalyzed the asymmetric Mannich reaction of aldehyde and (Z)-alkyl alkynyl ketimines. The method they used is stereodivergent, in which the phenylcyclopropane amine 29 gives syn products, and the proline catalyst gives anti product. After the hydrogenation step, they successfully obtained chiral amines substituted with two similar alkyl groups, which is hard to obtained in a single enantiomeric compound.

Applications

Ketimine Mannich catalysis has been identified as a synthetic tool for primary alcohols. [2] A useful path to dihydroquinazolinone, a precursor to drugs with anti-viral and cardiovascular benefits, was also found by Liu [22] et Al. using N-Heterocyclic carbene-catalyzation [4+2] annulation of β-methyl enals.

Nucleophilic conjugate addition is a type of organic reaction. Ordinary nucleophilic additions or 1,2-nucleophilic additions deal mostly with additions to carbonyl compounds.

With α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds such as cyclohexenone it can be deduced from resonance structures that the β position is an electrophilic site which can react with a nucleophile. The negative charge in these structures is stored as an alkoxide anion. Such a nucleophilic addition is called a nucleophilic conjugate addition or 1,4-nucleophilic addition.

In chemistry, transfer hydrogenation is a chemical reaction involving the addition of hydrogen to a compound from a source other than molecular H2. It is applied in laboratory and industrial organic synthesis to saturate organic compounds and reduce ketones to alcohols, and imines to amines. It avoids the need for high-pressure molecular H2 used in conventional hydrogenation. Transfer hydrogenation usually occurs at mild temperature and pressure conditions using organic or organometallic catalysts, many of which are chiral, allowing efficient asymmetric synthesis. It uses hydrogen donor compounds such as formic acid, isopropanol or dihydroanthracene, dehydrogenating them to CO2, acetone, or anthracene respectively. Often, the donor molecules also function as solvents for the reaction. A large scale application of transfer hydrogenation is coal liquefaction using "donor solvents" such as tetralin.

In organic chemistry, organocatalysis is a form of catalysis in which the rate of a chemical reaction is increased by an organic catalyst. This "organocatalyst" consists of carbon, hydrogen, sulfur and other nonmetal elements found in organic compounds. Because of their similarity in composition and description, they are often mistaken as a misnomer for enzymes due to their comparable effects on reaction rates and forms of catalysis involved.

The Hajos–Parrish–Eder–Sauer–Wiechert and Barbas-List reactions in organic chemistry are a family of proline-catalysed asymmetric aldol reactions.

Asymmetric hydrogenation is a chemical reaction that adds two atoms of hydrogen to a target (substrate) molecule with three-dimensional spatial selectivity. Critically, this selectivity does not come from the target molecule itself, but from other reagents or catalysts present in the reaction. This allows spatial information to transfer from one molecule to the target, forming the product as a single enantiomer. The chiral information is most commonly contained in a catalyst and, in this case, the information in a single molecule of catalyst may be transferred to many substrate molecules, amplifying the amount of chiral information present. Similar processes occur in nature, where a chiral molecule like an enzyme can catalyse the introduction of a chiral centre to give a product as a single enantiomer, such as amino acids, that a cell needs to function. By imitating this process, chemists can generate many novel synthetic molecules that interact with biological systems in specific ways, leading to new pharmaceutical agents and agrochemicals. The importance of asymmetric hydrogenation in both academia and industry contributed to two of its pioneers — William Standish Knowles and Ryōji Noyori — being collectively awarded one half of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

In organic chemistry, the Baylis–Hillman, Morita–Baylis–Hillman, or MBH reaction is a carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction between an activated alkene and a carbon electrophile in the presence of a nucleophilic catalyst, such as a tertiary amine or phosphine. The product is densely functionalized, joining the alkene at the α-position to a reduced form of the electrophile.

In organic chemistry, Lewis acid catalysis is the use of metal-based Lewis acids as catalysts for organic reactions. The acids act as an electron pair acceptor to increase the reactivity of a substrate. Common Lewis acid catalysts are based on main group metals such as aluminum, boron, silicon, and tin, as well as many early and late d-block metals. The metal atom forms an adduct with a lone-pair bearing electronegative atom in the substrate, such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and halogens. The complexation has partial charge-transfer character and makes the lone-pair donor effectively more electronegative, activating the substrate toward nucleophilic attack, heterolytic bond cleavage, or cycloaddition with 1,3-dienes and 1,3-dipoles.

Hydrogen-bond catalysis is a type of organocatalysis that relies on use of hydrogen bonding interactions to accelerate and control organic reactions.

The field is relatively undeveloped compared to research in Lewis acid catalysis.

Metal-catalyzed C–H borylation reactions are transition metal catalyzed organic reactions that produce an organoboron compound through functionalization of aliphatic and aromatic C–H bonds and are therefore useful reactions for carbon–hydrogen bond activation. Metal-catalyzed C–H borylation reactions utilize transition metals to directly convert a C–H bond into a C–B bond. This route can be advantageous compared to traditional borylation reactions by making use of cheap and abundant hydrocarbon starting material, limiting prefunctionalized organic compounds, reducing toxic byproducts, and streamlining the synthesis of biologically important molecules. Boronic acids, and boronic esters are common boryl groups incorporated into organic molecules through borylation reactions. Boronic acids are trivalent boron-containing organic compounds that possess one alkyl substituent and two hydroxyl groups. Similarly, boronic esters possess one alkyl substituent and two ester groups. Boronic acids and esters are classified depending on the type of carbon group (R) directly bonded to boron, for example alkyl-, alkenyl-, alkynyl-, and aryl-boronic esters. The most common type of starting materials that incorporate boronic esters into organic compounds for transition metal catalyzed borylation reactions have the general formula (RO)2B-B(OR)2. For example, bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2Pin2), and bis(catecholato)diborane (B2Cat2) are common boron sources of this general formula.

Proline organocatalysis is the use of proline as an organocatalyst in organic chemistry.
