Abstract

:
Bis(oxazolinyl)phenylrhodium(III) aqua complexes, (Phebox)RhX2(H2O) [X = Cl, Br], were found to be efficient Lewis acid catalysts for the enantioselective addition of allyl- and methallyltributyltin reagents to amino aldehydes. The reactions proceed smoothly in the presence of 5–10 mol % of (Phebox)RhX2(H2O) complex at ambient temperature to give the corresponding amino alcohols with modest to good enantioselectivity (up to 94% ee).

1. Introduction

The development of enantioselective synthesis of chiral homoallylic alcohols containing amino-functional groups is of great importance to synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry. Despite much effort directed at enantioselective allylation of aldehydes [1,2,3], there are only a few systems for enantioselective allylation of amino aldehydes as substrates because the high coordination ability of amino groups to the metal species often leads to deactivation of chiral allylmetals or catalysts. Therefore, most of these reactions need a stoichiometric amount of chiral sources. For examples, Brown [4] and Chen [5] reported the utility of allylboron reagents (Figure 1, AC) for the reaction with pyridinecarboxaldehydes and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolecarboxaldehyde [4,5]. Denmark and co-workers developed a new reaction system for the allylation of aldehydes, but the enantioselectivity of the reaction with 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde was not so high (Figure 1, D) [6]. The other one is a catalytic reaction using 20 mol % of BINOL-derived chiral titanium complex/allyltributyltin via transmetalation mechanism reported by Umani-Ronchi (Figure 1, E) [7].

We have previously developed a meridional tridentate ligand, 2,6-bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl derivative (abbreviated to Phebox) as a chiral N–C–N pincer type ligand with one central covalent bond to a metal [8,9,10,11,12,13,14], and have demonstrated that rhodium(III) aqua complexes bearing the Phebox ligand, (Phebox)RhX2(H2O) [1: X = Cl, 2: X = Br], acted as recoverable chiral Lewis acid catalysts for the enantioselective addition of allylic tributyltin reagents to aldehydes [15,16,17] and the asymmetric hetero Diels-Alder reactions of Danishefsky’s dienes and glyoxylates [18]. During the course of our studies on the Phebox-Rh(III) system as a chiral transition metal Lewis acid, we have found that tertiary amines such as N,N-diisopropylethylamine or triethylamine cannot bind to the rhodium atom [19]. This discovery encouraged us to use these air-stable and water-tolerant complexes 1 and 2 for the allylation of amino aldehydes as substrates. We wish to report herein the Lewis acid-catalyzed enantioselective addition of allyl- and methallyltributyltin reagents to aldehydes containing amino-functional groups (Scheme 1).

2. Results and Discussion

2.1. NMR Studies, Isolation, and X-ray Analysis of Phebox-Rh(III)–Amino Aldehyde Complexes

First, we checked the complexation between Phebox-Rh(III) complex i-Pr-1 and amino aldehydes 3ae by 1H and 13C-NMR. Selected 1H and 13C-NMR data in CDCl3are listed in Table 1. Although rigid complexation was not clearly observed between i-Pr-1 and 6-methyl-2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (3c) (Entry 3), 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra of the other cases showed formation of new complexes. From the NMR spectra of a mixture of i-Pr-1 and 3a, the pyridine’s nitrogen atom exclusively forms σ-complexes with the (i-Pr-Phebox)RhCl2 fragment; the signals of the protons for 2- and 6-positions of the pyridine ring (H2 and H6) appeared at lower field than those of the uncomplexed (free) 3a (from δ 9.08 to 10.30 ppm for H2, and from δ 8.85 to 10.08 ppm for H6, respectively) (Entry 1). This amine complex was stable enough to be purified by silica gel chromatography and was eventually characterized by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction (Figure 2, Table 2). In the case of the reaction of i-Pr-1 and 3b, H6 and the formyl proton (Hf) both appeared as broad signals at lower field (δ 9.11 for H6 and 10.34 ppm for Hf) than those of free 3b(δ 8.77 for H6 and 10.07 ppm for Hf) (Entry 2). These results indicate that the coordination of 3b to the (i-Pr-Phebox)RhCl2 fragment is an equilibrium between the pyridinic nitrogen and carbonyl oxygen. In contrast to the pyridinecarboxaldehydes, solutions of 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (3d) and 4-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (3e) in the presence of i-Pr-1 showed rigid formation of C=O/σ type aldehyde complexes. For example, the signals assignable to the dimethylamino group were not changed, but the signals of the formyl proton (Hf) and carbon (Cf) of coordinated 3d appeared at lower field than the uncomplexed (free) 3d (from δ 9.74 to 9.92 ppm for Hf, and from δ 190.4 to 207.2 ppm for Cf, respectively) (Entry 4). Similar lower field shifts of Hf and Cf along with the olefinic protons Hα and Hβ (Hα = α-proton, Hβ = β-proton) were also observed for the mixture of i-Pr-1 and 3e in 1H and 13C NMR (ΔHα = +0.27 ppm, ΔHβ = +0.14 ppm, ΔHf = +0.77 ppm, ΔCf = +2.9 ppm, respectively) (Entry 5). It is widely known that chemical shifts of vinylic protons (Hα and Hβ), formyl proton (Hf) and carbon (Cf) of enals bound to Lewis acids by the carbonyl oxygen appear at lower field than those of free enals [20,21,22]. These lower-field shifts of Hα, Hβ, Hf and Cf are also observed in the reaction of i-Pr-1 and (E)-cinnamaldehyde [16]. The above NMR and X-ray studies thus indicated that the (Phebox)RhCl2 fragment, generated by releasing H2O from (Phebox)RhCl2(H2O), captures amino aldehydes 3b–e at the carbonyl oxygen to form aldehyde complexes (Scheme 2).

2.2. Phebox-Rh(III)-Catalyzed Enantioselective Addition of Allyltributyltin to Amino Aldehydes

We also examined the Phebox-Rh(III)-catalyzed reaction of amino aldehydes and allyltributyltin. Allyltributyltin (4a) was added to a suspension of 4Å molecular sieves (MS 4A), amino aldehydes 3be and 5–10 mol % of (S,S)-(Phebox)RhX2(H2O) complexes (1 or 2) in dichloromethane at 25 °C for 24 h. These results are summarized in Table 3. First, the reaction of pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde (3b) proceeded smoothly, but the isolated yield of the allylated product 5b was only 14% after purification of the crude material by silica gel chromatography (Entry 1). This result indicates that the alkoxystananne 5b-Snformed in the reaction mixture is stable and hardly hydrolyzed under the usual workup process (see Experimental section). Consequently, we adopted a new procedure for conversion of 5b-Sn to the acetate derivative 5b-Ac by treatment with acetic anhydride (Scheme 3). In this manner, 5b-Ac was obtained in good to high yields and with moderate enantioselectivity (Entries 2, 3, 5, and 6). The absolute configuration of 5b-Ac obtained by (S,S)-Phebox-derived Rh(III) complexes was determined to be S by comparison of the optical rotation value with literature data [23]. In the case of the reaction using (S,S)-Ph-1, however, ca. 50% of 3b was recovered after silica gel chromatography and (R)-5b-Ac was formed as a major enantiomer (Entry 4). Finally, an enantioselectivity of up to 59% ee was achieved using 10 mol % of the i-Pr- and Me-Phebox-derived dibromide complexes (Entries 5 and 6). In the cases of the other aldehydes 3ce, the products were obtained as a homoallylic alcohol in good to high yields. The reactions of 6-methyl-2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (3c) and 4-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (3e) afforded the corresponding amino alcohols 5c and 5e with good enantioselectivity by using the dibromide complexes (5c: 84% ee with Ph-2, and 5e: 88% ee with Bn-2, respectively) (entries 9 and 15). In sharp contrast, the dichloride complexes showed higher enantioselectivity (84% ee for Me-1, and 81% ee for s-Bu-1, respectively) than the parent dibromide one (72% ee for Me-2) in the allylation reaction of 4-dimethylamino- benzaldehyde (3d) (Entries 10–12). We also examined the reaction of 3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (3a), however, no allylated product was obtained and the amine complex, (i-Pr-Phebox)RhCl2(κ-3a), free 3a, and allyltributyltin (4a) were detected by 1H-NMR of the crude material.

2.3. Phebox-Rh(III)-Catalyzed Enantioselective Addition of Methallyltributyltin to Amino Aldehydes

Table 4 summarizes the results obtained for the methallylation of amino aldehydes 3be catalyzed with Phebox-Rh(III) complexes in dichloromethane in the presence of MS 4A at 25 °C for 24 h. In the reactions of pyridinecarboxaldehydes 3b and 3c, the enantiomeric excesses of the methallylated products 6b-Ac and 6c were moderate (51% ee for 6b-Ac, and 45% ee for 6c, respectively) (Entries 1–10). Similar to the reaction of pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde 3b and allyltributyltin (Table 2, Entry 4), (S,S)-Ph-1 afforded the opposite (R)-6b-Ac as a major enantiomer (Entry 3). Compared to the reactions with pyridinecarboxaldehydes 3b and 3c, the (S,S)-Phebox-Rh-catalyzed reactions of 4-dimethyl-aminobenzaldehyde (3d) and 4-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (3e) with methallyltributyltin (4b) afforded the corresponding (S)-products with good to high enantioselectivity (90% ee for 6d and 94% ee for 6e, respectively) (Entries 11–17). Incidentally, the Phebox-Rh(III) aqua complexes 1 and 2 can be recovered almost quantitatively from the reaction media by silica gel column chromatography.

3. Experimental

3.1. General

Anhydrous dichloromethane was purchased from Kanto Chemical Co. Carbon tetrabromide, all aldehydes and allyltributyltin were purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were measured on a VARIAN Inova-400 (400 MHz) spectrometer. 1H-NMR (400 MHz) chemical shifts were described in parts per million downfield from tetramethylsilane used as an internal standard (δ = 0) in CDCl3, unless otherwise noted. 13C-NMR (100 MHz) chemical shifts were expressed in parts per million with reference to the residual solvent peak as an internal standard (δ = 77.1 for CDCl3), unless otherwise noted. IR spectra were measured on a JASCO FT/IR-230 spectrometer. Melting points were measured on a Yanaco MP-J3 apparatus. Elemental analyses were measured on a Yanaco CHN CORDER MT-6 instrument. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses were performed with a JASCO PU-980 HPLC pump, UV-975 and 980 UV/VIS detector, and CO-966 column thermostat (at 25 °C) using a Daicel CHIRALCEL OD column. Optical rotations were measured on a JASCO DIP-140 polarimeter. Column chromatography was performed with silica gel (Merck, Art. No. 7734). Analytical thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on glass plates and aluminum sheets pre-coated with silica gel (Merck, Kieselgel 60 F-254, layer thicknesses 0.25 and 0.2 mm, respectively). Visualization was accomplished by UV light (254 nm), anisaldehyde, and phosphomolybdic acid. All reactions were carried out under a nitrogen or argon atmosphere. (Phebox)SnMe3, (Phebox)RhCl2(H2O) 1 and (Bn-Phebox)RhBr2(H2O) (Bn-2) were prepared by our method [16,18,24]. [(c-octene)2RhCl]2[25] and methallyltributyltin [26] were prepared by the literature methods.

3.2. General Procedure for the Synthesis of (Phebox)RhBr2(H2O) Complexes

To a stirred solution of (R-Phebox)SnMe3 and [(c-octene)2RhCl]2 in dichloromethane was added tetrabromomethane [ca. 8 equivalents with respect to (R-Phebox)SnMe3] at ambient temperature for 24 h. Then the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by silica gel chromatography gave (R-Phebox)RhBr2(H2O) (R-2).

3.3. General Procedure for the Catalytic Enantioselective Addition of Allyl- or Methallyltributyltin to Aldehydes Catalyzed with (Phebox)RhX2(H2O) Complexes

To a suspension of MS 4A (250 mg) in dichloromethane (2 mL) was added (Phebox)RhX2(H2O) complex (0.025-0.05 mmol, 5-10 mol %), amino aldehyde (0.5 mmol) and allyl- or methallyltributyltin (0.75 mmol) at 25 °C. After it was stirred for 24 h at that temperature, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by silica gel chromatography gave homoallylic alcohol: the enantioselectivity was determined by chiral HPLC analysis.

X-ray-quality crystals of (i-Pr-Phebox)RhCl2(κ-3a) was obtained from benzene-ether-hexane at room temperature and mounted in glass capillary. Diffraction experiments were performed on a Rigaku AFC-7R four-circle diffractometer equipped with graphite-monochromated Mo K〈 radiation; ᄂ = 0.71069 Å. The lattice parameters and an orientation matrix were obtained and refined from 25 machine-centered reflections with 29.82 < 2╰ < 29.97°. Intensity data were collected using a ᄀ-2╰ scan technique, and three standard reflections were recorded every 150 reflections. The data were corrected for Lorentz and polarization effects. The structure was solved by direct methods [27] and expanded using Fourier techniques [28]. The non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. Hydrogen atoms were included but not refined. The final cycle of full-matrix least-squares refinement was based on 5306 observed reflections (I > 3∫(I)) and 598 variable parameters. Neutral atom scattering factors were taken from Cromer and Waber [29]. All calculations were performed using the teXsan crystallographic software package [30]. Final refinement details are collected in Table 5 and the numbering scheme employed is shown in Figure 2, which was drawn with ORTEP at 30% probability ellipsoid.

4. Conclusions

In this paper, we have described the catalytic enantioselective addition of allyl- and methallyltributyltin reagents to amino aldehydes catalyzed with air-stable and water tolerant chiral Phebox-Rh(III) aqua complexes. The reactions proceed under mild conditions to afford the corresponding homoallylic alcohols with modest to good enantioselectivity (up to 94% ee), and these aqua complexes can be recovered from the reaction media by column chromatography. We have clarified that the chiral (Phebox)RhX2 fragments (X = Cl, Br), generated by releasing water molecule from (Phebox)RhX2(H2O), capture amino aldehydes at the carbonyl oxygen and the reaction proceeded via a Lewis acid mechanism.
