Abstract

:
An efficient, novel bifunctional C2-symmetric ionic liquid–supported (S)-proline organocatalyst 7 was developed for a one-pot, five-component reaction involving β-keto esters 8, aryl aldehydes 9, and aryl amines 10, affording highly functionalized tetrahydropyridines 11a–o by simultaneous generation of fives bonds and two stereogenic centers with extraordinary diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >99:1 dr, 95:5 er) in isopropanol with high yields (up to 92%). This protocol provides quick access to diverse enantio-enriched, highly functionalized diastereo- and enantioselective tetrahydropyridines in a green medium without any column chromatographic purification. The catalyst was recycled five times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.

1. Introduction

The broad spectrum of biologically active natural products and pharmaceuticals comprises many nitrogen-containing heterocycles, such as pyrroles, piperidines, and pyrrolidines [1]. Various natural products and biologically active compounds containing 1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine (THP), and piperidine moieties exhibit numerous biological properties, such as antimalarial, antihypertensive, anticancer, anticonvulsant, and antibacterial activities. In addition, MPTP (A) is used as a prodrug for neurotoxin MPP+, phenindamine (B) is used as an antihistamine agent for the common cold, paroxetine (C) is used as an antidepressant drug, and fentanyl (D) is used as an analgesic drug (Figure 1) [1,2].
It is a significant challenge for chemists to strengthen the synthetic routes of these chemical motifs simply and efficiently. Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) imply a greatly appreciated synthetic implement for the assembly of new and amalgamated molecular assemblies with a minimum quantity of synthetic stages [3]. MCRs have numerous benefits over conventional direct syntheses, including high degrees of atom economy, lower costs, readily available starting materials, shorter reaction times, environmental friendliness, and the possibility for combinatorial measuring of structural differences [4]. It is an important challenge for reaction designers to improve the efficient synthesis of this chiral richness of chemical motifs in a better way [5]. In multicomponent reactions, we can efficiently build up molecular complexity using readily available starting materials without the need for reaction intermediate isolation and laborious workup [6,7]. High atom economy and selectivity could be achieved in one-pot multicomponent reactions [8].
Asymmetric organocatalysis is a crucial step in asymmetric organic synthesis because it compensates for the drawbacks of metal organocatalysis. With low catalyst equivalents, good yields and ee values can be attained. Tandem reactions provide many advantages in organic syntheses, such as short reaction time and minimum purification steps. Many successful ways for the production of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridines have been discovered over the previous few decades. However, relatively few methods are available for the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched trans-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridines, including iminium ion-mediated vinylsilane and allylsilane cyclization, as well as ring-closing metathesis [9]. Therefore, the development of new, highly stereo-chemically controlled syntheses of this ring system remains an important challenge. Limited literature methods are available to synthesize diastereo- and enantioselective tetrahydropyridines, namely (a) chiral binapthol phosphoric acid and (b) chiral organocatalyst having gold as a co-catalyst for the synthesis of enantioselective tetrahydropyridines (Figure 2) [10]. The most common methods for the synthesis of 1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine comprises Mannich-type/intramolecular cyclization by a proline-mediated reaction, annulation by phosphine and DABCO, and alkynyl and allenyliminium ion cyclization by palladium catalyst [11,12,13], in addition to using L-proline/TFA, InCl3, Bi (NO3)3.5H2O, BF3.SiO2, molecular I2, cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN), LaCl3.7H2O, Fe3O4@TDSN-Bi (III), diethanol ammonium hydrogensulfate (DHS), trityl chloride, glycolic acid (GA), α-Fe2O3-immobilized benzimidazolium tribromide, and 1-methyl-2-oxopyrrolidinium hydrogen sulfate as catalysts [14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26].
Most of these techniques, however, frequently use expensive reagents or catalysts, high temperatures, long reaction times, non-reusable catalysts, toxic solvents, multistep synthesis, advanced starting materials, proper purification of intermediates, and low-yielding reaction processes, in addition to having a lack of operational simplicity and functional group tolerance. As a result, developing highly efficient synthetic methods to build structurally varied THPs in moderate circumstances remains a significant problem. Since its usage in the asymmetric aldol reaction, (S)-proline has been widely used as a chiral organocatalyst and has established itself as a leading success story in the field of asymmetric organocatalysis, owing to its natural, simple nature and low cost [27,28,29]. However, due to its limited solubility in most organic solvents, (S)-proline has several drawbacks.
One option for overcoming this disadvantage is to use co-catalysts or additives to increase the efficiency of (S)-proline. Ionic liquids, which are organic salts with melting points below 100 °C, have also been used as an alternate solvent in (S)-proline organocatalyzed processes, such as the asymmetric aldol reaction, to aid in catalyst dissolution and recovery [30,31]. In the synthetic chemist’s community, ionic liquid catalysts have attracted special consideration due to their tunable features for different chemical tasks [32,33,34]. Ionic liquids are used as catalysts as well as a solvent because of their unique properties, such as negligible vapor pressure, easy phase separation depending upon the choice of solvent, and reusable and recyclable homogeneous nature [35,36]. Various functionalized ionic liquids could be simply designed or synthesized by the attachment of the different alkyl-functionalized side chains [29]. Functionalized ionic liquids could be easily used in a supported synthesis for different heterocyclic biological active pharmaceutical intermediates [37]. Solvate ionic liquids (SILs) are a new type of ionic liquid made up of equimolar mixes of alkaline metal salts and glymes that produce complexes with strong coordination of the alkaline cation, usually lithium, by the glyme. For example, Watanabe et al. created numerous SILs that were primarily used as battery electrolytes. SILs have the benefit of being simple to make by dissolving the metal salt in the glyme of choice [38].
Although much progress has been achieved in synthesizing ionic liquid–catalyzed tetrahydropyridine synthesis reactions, due to longer reaction times and the use of highly toxic solvents and metal-mediated reactions, the currently existing methods need to be improved. While establishing a methodology to synthesize enantioenrich 1,2,5,6 tetrahydropyridines in our lab, we came across new findings, which are reported here. This reaction cascade uses [BHEDIMP][CF3CO2] 7 as a catalyst with aryl aldehydes, aryl amines, and β-keto esters in a green solvent. This reported catalyst 7 has also been explored as a recyclable organocatalyst for Mannich reactions in neat conditions by our research group [39]. In addition to being an enantioselective example of this five-component tandem reaction, this process also offers unparalleled access to structurally diverse, enantioenriched tetrahydropyridines, which have significant potential for use in medicinal chemistry.

2. Results and Discussion

Our synthetic strategy commenced with the synthesis of a targeted novel diimidazolium ionic liquid–immobilized proline(S) organocatalyst as shown in Scheme 1 to use in the synthesis of tetrahydropyridine in a one-pot multicomponent reaction [39]. Initially, the reaction of one equivalent of 1,2-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethane 1 with two equivalents of 2-chloro ethanol 2 at 80 °C for 2 h under solvent-free conditions furnished bis-hydroxyl ethyl diimidazolium chloride [BHEDIM][Cl] 3 with 97% yield. This was followed by the action of one equivalent of bis-hydroxyl ethyl diimidazolium chloride [BHEDIM][Cl] 3 with two equivalents of NaBF4 in acetonitrile solvent under reflux for 12 h, which afforded bis-hydroxyl ethyl diimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BHEDIM][BF4] 4 with 98% yield. After the successful synthesis of bis-hydroxyl ethyl diimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BHEDIM][BF4] 4, we planned to couple the synthesized ionic liquid 4 with boc-(S)-proline 5. Further, the reaction of one equivalent of bis-hydroxyl-functionalized ionic liquid [BHEDIM][BF4] 4 with two equivalents of boc-(S)-proline 5 in the presence of DCC/DMAP coupling reagent furnished chiral ionic liquid–immobilized boc-(S)-proline organocatalyst [BHEDIMP][BF4] 6 with 97% yield. Furthermore, to synthesize targeted chiral bi-functional diimidazolium organocatalyst [BHEDIMP][CF3CO2] 7, we treated [BHEDIMP][BF4] 6 with 30% TFA/ACN at room temperature for 6 h to remove the boc moiety. Finally, the boc group was removed to afford the desired chiral diimidazolium ionic liquid–supported (S)-proline organocatalyst [BHEDIMP][CF3CO2] 7 with 96% yield.
Next, to examine the catalytic activity of organocatalyst [BHEDIMP][CF3CO2] 7 for the enantioselective synthesis of tetrahydropyridine for the one-pot multicomponent reaction, our study commenced by considering two equivalents of aniline 10b, one equivalent of ethyl acetoacetate 8b, and two equivalents of benzaldehyde 9b in the presence of 5 mol% catalyst [BHEDIMP][CF3CO2] 7.
Ethyl acetoacetate 8b, benzaldehyde 9b, aniline 10b, and 5 mol% catalyst [BHEDIMP][CF3CO2] 7 were chosen as prototypes for the optimization of the reaction conditions and identification of the acceptable solvent, catalyst loading, and effective reaction conditions. Among all the screened solvents, such as ethanol, water, methanol, THF, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, chloroform, isopropanol, IPA/H2O, and EtOH/H2O (Table 1, entries 1–10), IPA proved to be the most effective solvent by furnishing the desired product with 92% yield in 4 h (Table 1, entry 8). Table 1 shows the optimization of the solvent for the synthesis of tetrahydropyridines.
However, under solvent-free conditions and in water, we did not observe any formation of the desired product (Table 1, entries 11 and 2). When the reaction was carried out in polar protic solvents, such as ethanol, it resulted in 55% product formation, with >10% product formation in methanol (Table 1, entries 1 and 3). When the reaction was carried out in the polar aprotic solvent THF, we obtained >10% product formation, with >50% of the product being formed in dichloromethane and chloroform (Table 1, entries 4, 6, and 7). In addition, the reaction was carried out with a mixture of solvents; in IPA/H2O (1:1), product formation was >40%, and in ethanol-water (1:1), >35% of the product was formed (Table 1, entries 9 and 10). By examining different solvents, IPA was found to be the moderate solvent to give a high yield in less time as compared to other solvents. The reaction occurred efficiently at room temperature and did not necessitate the use of any equipment, such as the Schlenk system. The reaction was sluggish, and there were no significant yields when the reaction was carried out at reflux and low temperature.
We discovered that the product of THP was obtained in good yields ranging from 20 to 92% in varied mole ratios of [BHEDIMP][CF3CO2] 7 (1 to 10 mol%) by screening a wide range of catalysts, and the results are presented in Table 2 (entries 1–12). When the reaction was carried out with 5 mol% [BHEDIMP][CF3CO2] 7 in IPA as the solvent, a better yield of up to 92% was obtained (Table 1, entry 8). As a result, we decided to perform the reaction at ambient reaction conditions and illustrate it (Scheme 2).
The reaction of benzaldehyde 9b, aniline 10b, and ethyl acetoacetate 8b was carried out in the presence of catalyst [BHEDIMP][CF3CO2] 7 and the solvent IPA. Remarkably, a high yield of 92% was achieved in 4 h. The resulting product was washed with hexane and ether and transferred to another beaker to dry it. Further, chloroform was added to wash the catalyst, which settled in the wall of reaction RB, and the washed catalyst was used for further reaction. The obtained pure solid product was analyzed using 1H, 13C NMR, FT-IR, and HPLC as provided in the Supplementary Information (Figures S1–S77).
The selective production of the anti-isomer was verified using NMR, HPLC, polarimetry analysis, and measurement of the melting point. We opted to test the generality and adaptability of the procedure using the aforementioned standard conditions since we were excited about these characteristics, namely a reduction in response time, an increase in yield, and diastereoselectivities. Thus, we synthesized a variety of highly functionalized piperidine derivatives by reacting different aromatic aldehydes 9, amines 10, and active methylene compounds 8, such as ethyl acetoacetate and methyl acetoacetate. The yield of product 11 was high to excellent with different substrates, suggesting that electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups have no effect on both aldehydes and amines (Table 3). In addition, the enantiomeric ratio (er) presented in Table 3 corresponds to the diastereoisomer that is more abundant in the final yield of the corresponding products 11a–o.
In accordance with the mechanism proposed in the literature [40], tetrahydropyridine derivatives 11 were afforded from the initial condensation of aromatic amine 10 and β-ketoester 8 in presence of the catalyst [BHEDIMP][CF3CO2] 7 to give enamine I, which further reacted with aromatic aldehydes 9 to yield Knoevenagel adduct II. In addition, aromatic aldehyde 9 and amine 10 reacted with each other to form the respective imine III. Next, intermediates II and III underwent [4 + 2] cycloaddition with catalyst 7 to give the transition state IV, which subsequently afforded the desired corresponding products 11 (Figure 3).
Finally, using catalyst [BHEDIMP][CF3CO2] 7, we established a green and efficient methodology for the synthesis of piperidine derivatives. This catalyst is efficient and easy enough to make and handle, and it sustains its activity after several treatments. This ecologically friendly catalyst has excellent potential for additional acid-catalyzed chemical methods, in addition to the current application for the synthesis of these piperidines. The results show that our technique, which uses [BHEDIMP][CF3CO2] 7 as a catalyst, is efficient in terms of reaction time and product yields when compared to the efficacy of results reported in the literature.

4. Conclusions

We presented a practical procedure for the synthesis of highly functionalized tetrahydropyridines 11a–o using [BHEDIMP][CF3CO2] 7 as a catalyst in this article. We believe this is the first time an imidazolium-based proline-supported catalyst has been used to produce highly modified piperidine derivatives that involves simultaneous formation of two stereogenic centers and fives bonds under ambient conditions. The products were obtained in high yields (up to 92%) with excellent stereoselectivities (up to >99:1 dr, 95:5 er). The salient features of our reported synthetic methodology are mild reaction conditions, well-to-outstanding yields, strong diastereoselectivity, operational simplicity, cheap cost, and an ecologically friendly catalyst.
