Abstract

It has been established that a cationic gold(I)/(R)-DTBM-Segphos or (R)-BINAP complex catalyzes the atropselective intramolecular hydroarylation of alkynes leading to enantioenriched axially chiral 4-aryl-2-quinolinones and 4-arylcoumarins with up to 61% ee.

Introduction

Atropselective biaryl synthesis [1-4] has attracted significant interest due to its great utility in asymmetric catalysis and natural product synthesis. In 2004, three research groups, including ours, independently reported transition-metal catalyzed asymmetric [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions to produce axially chiral biaryls [5-7]. These reports clearly demonstrated the utility of the asymmetric annulation strategy for the atropselective biaryl synthesis [8]. As an alternative asymmetric annulation method for the atropselective biaryl synthesis, we turned our attention to transition-metal catalyzed hydroalkenylation and hydroarylation reactions [9-15]. In this context, our research group developed the cationic gold(I)/PPh3-complex catalyzed intramolecular hydroalkenylation of N-alkenyl-arylethynylamides leading to 4-aryl-2-pyridones (Scheme 1) [16,17].

Scheme 1: Cationic gold(I)/PPh3-complex catalyzed intramolecular hydroalkenylation of alkynes.

The atropselective synthesis of 6-aryl-2-pyridones has already been achieved by rhodium catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition [18], while the atropselective synthesis of 4-aryl-2-pyridones has not yet been realized. The application of this intramolecular hydroalkenylation reaction to the atropselective synthesis of 4-aryl-2-pyridones from N-alkenyl-arylethynylamides was thus investigated. Although cationic gold(I)/axially chiral biaryl bisphosphine complexes [19-31] have been frequently employed in asymmetric variants of cationic gold(I) catalyses [32-38], including 6-endo-dig and 6-exo-dig cyclizations [39-41], the use of these gold(I) complexes gave almost racemic products [42]. Fortunately, cationic palladium(II)/axially chiral biaryl bisphosphine complexes were found to be effective catalysts, and a cationic palladium(II)/(S)-xyl-Segphos complex showed the highest enantioselectivity (Scheme 2) [42].

In addition, the cationic palladium(II)/axially chiral biaryl bisphosphine complexes were able to catalyze the asymmetric intramolecular hydroarylation of N-aryl-arylethynylamides leading to axially chiral 4-aryl-2-quinolinones, and the cationic palladium(II)/(S)-xyl-H8-BINAP complex showed the highest enantioselectivity (Scheme 3) [43,44].

In this paper, we report the use of the cationic gold(I)/axially chiral biaryl bisphosphine complexes in the catalytic asymmetric intramolecular hydroarylation for the synthesis of axially chiral 4-aryl-2-quinolinones and 4-arylcoumarins.

Results and Discussion

The reaction of N-benzyl-N-(2-naphthyl)propiolamide 1a, bearing a 2-methoxynaphthyl group at an alkyne terminus, was first investigated in the presence of a cationic gold(I)/(R)-BINAP complex (20 mol % Au). Although the reaction proceeded at room temperature in good yield, enantioselectivity was low (Table 1, entry 1). The effect of axially chiral biaryl bisphosphine ligands (Figure 1) on the yield and the enantioselectivity was then investigated. Among the bis(diphenylphosphine) ligands examined (Table 1, entries 1–3), the use of (R)-H8-BINAP furnished 2a with the highest enantiomeric excess (Table 1, entry 3). An increase in the steric bulk of the aryl group on the phosphorus atom of H8-BINAP lead to a decrease in the ee (Table 1, entry 4). The use of sterically more demanding (R)-DTBM-Segphos as a ligand furnished 2a in high yield with the highest ee (Table 1, entry 5). Unfortunately, a reduction in the amount of gold to 10 mol % significantly decreased both product yield and enantioselectivity (Table 1, entry 6).

Thus, the scope of the cationic gold(I)-complex catalyzed atropselective intramolecular hydroarylation of alkynes was explored at room temperature, as shown in Table 2. The 2-methoxynaphthalene derivative 1a (Table 2, entry 1) and the 2-methoxymethoxynaphthalene derivative 1b (Table 2, entry 2) furnished the desired benzoquinolinones 2a and 2b, respectively, in high yields and high ee, using (R)-DTBM-Segphos as a ligand. In addition, benzocoumarin 2c (Table 2, entry 3) was obtained in moderate ee, although the yield was low due to partial deprotection of the methoxymethoxynaphthalene moiety (Table 2, entry 3). The reactions of carbazole and dialkoxybenzene derivatives 1d–g, using (R)-DTBM-Segphos as a ligand, furnished the corresponding quinolinone and coumarin derivatives 2d–g in high yields with perfect regioselectivity, while the observed ee values were very low (<10% ee). However, interestingly, the use of (R)-BINAP as a ligand improved the enantoselectivity (14–32% ee, Table 2, entries 4–7).

In the previously reported cationic palladium(II)/(S)-xyl-H8-BINAP-complex catalyzed atropselective intramolecular hydroarylation of alkynes, the presence of the 2-methoxy-substituted aryl group at the alkyne terminus was important for the realization of both high reactivity and enantioselectivity [40]. Similarly, the reaction of 2-methylnaphthalene derivative 1h in the presence of the cationic gold(I)/(R)-DTBM-Segphos complex furnished the corresponding benzoquinolinone 2h with lower yield and ee than those of 2a (Scheme 4).

Conclusion

In conclusion, it has been established that a cationic gold(I)/(R)-DTBM-Segphos or (R)-BINAP complex catalyzes the atropselective intramolecular hydroarylation of alkynes leading to enantioenriched axially chiral 4-aryl-2-quinolinones and 4-arylcoumarins in up to 61% ee. Although there clearly remains room for improvement in enantioselectivity, the present asymmetric catalysis is a rare example of the utilization of gold(I)/chiral phosphine catalysts for the construction of noncentrochirality [45-47].

Experimental

General: 1H NMR spectra were recorded at 300 MHz (JEOL AL 300). 13C NMR spectra were obtained with complete proton decoupling at 75 MHz (JEOL AL 300). HRMS data were obtained on a Bruker micrOTOF Focus II. Infrared spectra were obtained on a JASCO FT/IR-4100. Optical rotations were obtained on a JASCO DIP-1000. Melting points were obtained on a METTLER MP50. Anhydrous (CH2Cl)2 (No. 28,450-5) was purchased from Aldrich and used as received. Solvents for the synthesis of substrates were dried over molecular sieves (4 Å, Wako) prior to use. Substrates 1a, 1b, 1d, 1e, 1f, and 1h were prepared according to the literature [43]. Products 2a, 2b, 2d, 2e, 2f, and 2h were already reported [43]. All other reagents were obtained from commercial sources and used as received. All reactions were carried out under an atmosphere of argon or nitrogen in oven-dried glassware with magnetic stirring.

General procedure for cationic gold(I)/axially chiral biaryl bisphosphine complex-catalyzed atropselective intramolecular hydroarylation of N-aryl-arylethynylamides 1: To AuCl(SMe2) (0.010 mmol) was added a solution of axially chiral biaryl bisphosphine ligand (0.0050 mmol) in (CH2Cl)2 (0.5 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. To this solution was added AgBF4 (0.010 mmol) in (CH2Cl)2 (0.5 mL) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 h. To this mixture was added a solution of 1 (0.050 mmol) in (CH2Cl)2 (0.5 mL) at room temperature. After stirring at room temperature for 40–72 h, the mixture was directly purified on a preparative TLC to afford 2.
