- W2113914309 abstract "I want to ride my azacycle: The title reaction of enynamides affords a wide diversity of azacycles. The reactions are high-yielding, highly stereoselective, and proceed rapidly under mild reaction conditions. Equivalent transformations using enynhydrazides offer new routes to pyrazole and indazole scaffolds. Boc=tert-butoxycarbonyl, EWG=electron-withdrawing group, Ns=4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl, Ts=4-toluenesulfonyl. Cycloisomerizations are amongst the most atom-economical methods to access valuable organic ring systems from simple acyclic starting materials.1 1,n-Enynes have been particularly explored as cycloisomerization substrates, thus giving rise to a broad spectrum of products depending on the choice of catalyst and substrate. In contrast, reports of 1,n-enynamide cycloisomerization are limited to π-acid activation of the ynamide2 or enynamide ring-closing metathesis.3 This is surprising given the importance of azacycles in organic and medicinal chemistry, to which enynamide cycloisomerization could provide a unique and sustainable entry. Our group has established a program of research on the formation of azacycles from ynamides,4, 5 including palladium-catalyzed cyclization of bromoenynamides to amidodienes (1→2; Scheme 1), which are precursors to azabicycles 3 through Diels–Alder reactions.4b We realized that not only could we improve the atom economy of the synthesis of 2 through cycloisomerization of an enynamide 4, but also that a far greater diversity of azacyclic products might be obtained. Here we describe the first examples of palladium-catalyzed enynamide cycloisomerization, together with contrasting ruthenium-catalyzed processes. The structural outcome of these high yielding reactions depends crucially on both the catalyst6 and substrate substitution pattern. Cyclizations of enynamides to 2-amidodienes. Ts=4-toluenesulfonyl. With the elegant studies from Trost et al. on palladium-catalyzed 1,n-enyne cycloisomerization in mind,7 we began by evaluating the cyclization of the enynamide 4 a with various palladium catalysts (Table 1). To our delight, the combination of Pd(OAc)2 with either N,N′-bis(benzylidene) ethylenediamine (bbeda) or triphenylphosphine effected rapid cycloisomerization to the desired 1,3-dienamide 5 a (entries 1 and 2). In contrast, use of the bulkier ligand, P(o-tol)3, or phosphine-free conditions, led to sluggish reactions and the formation of small amounts of the enol acetate 6 a (entries 3 and 4).5c Interestingly, the use of Trost’s alternative reaction conditions for the generation of a palladium(II) hydride species ([Pd2dba3]/AcOH)7c proved effective only in the presence of bbeda (entries 5–7). [Cp*Ru(cod)Cl] has also been reported to catalyze the formation of 1,3-dienes from 1,n-enynes,1c, 8 and we were pleased to find that this catalyst was similarly competent in the formation of 5 a, albeit requiring an extended reaction time (entry 8). Entry Catalyst system t 5 a/4 a/6 a[b] 1 Pd(OAc)2/bbeda 10 min 100:0:0 2 [Pd(OAc)2(PPh3)2] 10 min 98:0:2 3 [Pd(OAc)2{P(o-tol)3}2] 1 h 31:62:7 4 Pd(OAc)2 1 h 66:29:4 5 [Pd2dba3]⋅CHCl3/AcOH 1 h 50:44:6 6 [Pd2dba3]⋅CHCl3/AcOH/bbeda 10 min 99:0:1 7 [Pd2dba3]⋅CHCl3/AcOH/P(o-tol3) 1 h 19:69:11 8 [Cp*Ru(cod)Cl][c] 1.5 h 100:0:0 With optimized reaction conditions in hand for the formation of cyclic 1,3-dienamides, we set about exploring the reaction scope (Figure 1). Alkyl-substituted 1,6-enynamides rapidly delivered the pyrrolidine enamides 5 a and 5 b in excellent yield with just 2.5 mol % catalyst, whilst aryl- and silyl-substituted ynamides required a slightly higher catalyst loading (5 mol %) to achieve complete conversion. Notably, the formation of 5 a could be performed in excellent yield on gram scale with just 1 mol % of the catalyst (83 %), and the nature of the nitrogen electron-withdrawing group could also be varied to afford the nosyl- and Boc-protected amidodienes, 5 e and 5 f, respectively. The presence of a substituent adjacent to the sulfonamide was well-tolerated (5 g), and high yields were also obtained for the formation of the piperidine enamides 5 h–k from 1,7-enynamides. In all cases, the reactions proved highly stereoselective, with only trace amounts of the isomeric E enamides being observed (Z/E=97:3).9 Cycloisomerization of monosubstituted enynamides to 1,3-dienes and bicyclic cyclobutenes. [a] Figures in parentheses indicate reaction time. Yields are those of isolated products.

Yields are those of isolated products. Ns=4-O2NC6H4SO2, Boc=tert-butoxycarbonyl, TBS=tert-butyldimethylsilyl. Alkyl-substituted 1,6-enynamides were also viable substrates under ruthenium catalysis (Figure 1), which afforded the pyrrolidine enamides 5 a and 5 b as single isomers in high yield. However, a remarkable switch in reaction outcome was seen on examining 1,7-enynamides, with the 6,4-fused cyclobutenes 7 a–c being formed in excellent yields with only trace amounts of the corresponding 1,3-dienes (<5 %).10, 11 It is notable that formal [2+2] cycloadditions of ynamides usually require either electron-deficient or strained-alkene coupling partners, whereas in this intramolecular case high efficiency is observed with unstrained, electron-neutral alkenes.12 Indeed for 7 c, this cycloisomerization occurred rapidly at room temperature, presumably due to a beneficial Thorpe–Ingold effect. We next turned our attention to enynamides featuring 1,2-disubstituted alkenes, which have the potential to form either 1,3- or 1,4-dienes (Table 2). The cycloisomerization of enynamides with an ethyl-substituted E alkene (entries 1 and 2) successfully gave the E-1,4-dienes (E)-8 a and (E)-8 b as the major products, along with moderate amounts of the 1,3-diene. The analogous Z-alkene substrates 4 n and 4 o proved more reactive, and also favored formation of (E)-8 a and (E)-8 b, now to the exclusion of 1,3-diene, but with minor amounts of the Z-1,4-diene (entries 3 and 4). The regio- and stereoselectivity of these processes likely reflects the relative ease of β-hydride elimination from probable alkylpalladium(II) intermediates (see Scheme 3). The styrenyl ynamides 4 p and 4 q, which lack the hydrogen atoms required for 1,4-diene formation, pleasingly afforded the 1,3-dienes (E)-5 l and (Z)-5 l, respectively, as single stereoisomers (entries 5 and 6), further supporting the involvement of a stereospecific β-hydride elimination step. To enhance selectivity for the formation of the 1,3-diene from alkyl-substituted alkenes, we examined the cycloisomerization of allylic silyl ether 4 r (entry 7), a tactic successfully employed by Trost.13 We found that this indeed improved selectivity for the 1,3-diene (E)-5 m, which for convenience was isolated as the free alcohol after treatment with TBAF. A piperidine 1,4-dienamide could also be prepared by cycloisomerization of the 1,7-enynamide 4 s (entry 8). Finally, we were intrigued to study the potential for diastereoselective cycloisomerization. To our delight, the cyclization of the α-branched enynamides 4 t and 4 u gave the 1,4-dienes (E)-8 d and (E)-8 e, respectively, as single diastereomers (entries 9 and 10).9 In the case of (E)-8 e, minor amounts of 1,3-diene and a 1,5-diene arising from palladium-catalyzed alkene isomerization,14 were also observed. This relay of stereochemistry for these substrates represents the first example of diastereoselective ynamide cycloisomerizations, and augurs well for the stereocontrolled synthesis of polysubstituted azacycles such as indolizidine and quinolizidine alkaloids.15 Entry Subs- trate n R1 R2 R3 T t Major product Yield[b] 5/(E)-8/(Z)-8[c] 1 4 l 1 Hex H (E)-Et 60 °C 30 min 80 % 22:78:0 2 4 m 1 Ph H (E)-Et 60 °C 30 min 83 % 27:70:3 3 4 n 1 Hex H (Z)-Et 25 °C 1.5 h 87 % 0:86:14 4 4 o 1 Ph H (Z)-Et 60 °C 30 min 81 % 0:91:9 5 4 p 1 Hex H (E)-Ph 60 °C 4 h 82 % –[d] 6 4 q 1 Hex H (Z)-Ph 60 °C 20 min 84 % –[d] 7 4 r 1 Hex H (Z)-CH2OTBS 60 °C 20 min[e] 53 %[f] 66:17:17 8 4 s 2 Hex H (Z)-Me 60 °C 20 min[e] 72 % 9:91 9 4 t 1 Hex Ph (Z)-nPr 25 °C 3 h 87 % 0:100:0 10 4 u 2 Hex Bn (Z)-Et 60 °C 1.5 h 86 % 9:77:14[g] 11 4 m 1 Ph H (E)-Et 60 °C 1 h 84 % 33:9:58[h] Subjecting the disubstituted enynamides to ruthenium-catalyzed cycloisomerization conditions revealed lower reactivity. Of the substrates studied, only 4 k underwent successful cycloisomerization, intriguingly giving the (Z,Z)-1,4-diene (Z)-8 b as the major product (entry 11)—a result that supports the operation of different reaction pathways for the two catalyst systems (see below). Having established cycloisomerizations of acyclic enynamides, we next turned to cycloalkenyl ynamides which have the potential to form a range of interesting azabicycles not readily accessible through other means (Table 3).9 In the case of the cyclohexenyl ynamide 9 a, cyclization proceeded smoothly at room temperature to give the cis-fused bicycle 10 a in high yield (89 %). Pleasingly, the cycloheptenyl analogue 9 b also cyclized efficiently at room temperature, thus giving the 5,7-cis-fused azabicycle 10 b (91 %), along with a minor amount of the trans-fused diastereomer. Cyclization of the cyclohexenyl ynamide 9 c was similarly successful, giving the spirocyclic 1,4-diene 10 c (82 %).7c, 11 Lastly, reaction of enynamide 9 d led to the bridged azabicycle 10 d (77 %), a structure which bears close resemblance to the core of the alkaloid peduncularine.16 To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first example of the use of cycloisomerization to access a bridged bicyclic system. It is of some note that this methodology is able to prepare, with high efficiency, these three distinct and challenging classes of azabicycle.

We were delighted to find that these substrates underwent smooth cyclization at low catalyst loading (1 mol %), giving the corresponding 1,3- and 1,4-pyrazole dienes 12 a–c in excellent yields, including an attractive tetrahydroindazole framework (12 c). These products offer many possibilities for the construction of other diazacycles. For instance, treatment of 12 a with dimethylacetylene dicarboxylate afforded the complementary tetrahydroindazole 13. Notably, this cycloisomerization/cycloaddition sequence could also be carried out in a single step (56 %), thus affording these synthetically challenging systems in just two operations from commercial materials.

The contrasting outcomes of these palladium- and ruthenium-catalyzed processes can be explained by two mechanistic manifolds (Scheme 3). Under palladium catalysis, an in situ generated palladium(II) hydride species effects regioselective hydropalladation of the ynamide to afford alkenylpalladium intermediate 14. Ensuing carbopalladation gives the alkylpalladium species 15, which (depending on the substrate) has a choice of hydrogen atoms with which to undergo β-hydride elimination. Loss of Ha delivers the 1,3-dienes 5, whilst elimination of Hb or Hc leads to the E- or Z-1,4-dienes 8. The highly stereoselective cyclizations of 4 t and 4 u suggest that the sulfonamide plays an important role not only as an ynamide/enamide stabilizing group, but also as a fluxional stereogenic center. The stereoselectivity (for 4 t) can be explained by conformation 16, which minimizes 1,3-allylic strain between the ynamide side chain and tosyl group, places the phenyl substituent in a pseudo-equatorial position, and orients the alkenyl side chain pseudo-axial to avoid unfavorable steric interactions with the bbeda ligand (a similar model can be used to rationalize the cyclization of 4 u). Under ruthenium catalysis, initial complexation of the catalyst to both the alkene and ynamide enables ruthenacycle formation (17). With a six-membered tether, direct reductive elimination then leads to the 6,4-fused cyclobutene product 7. However for 5,5-fused ruthenacycles, developing ring strain presumably prohibits reductive elimination, and instead β-hydride elimination affords the diene products, albeit in differing ratios to those obtained under palladium catalysis. Proposed cycloisomerization mechanisms. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that alkenyl ynamides and ynhydrazides, which are readily prepared from simple precursors, undergo high yielding cycloisomerizations under palladium and ruthenium catalysis. These operationally simple processes occur with high stereo- and regioselectivity, affording a wide diversity of attractive azacyclic scaffolds. The reactions are tolerant of a range of substituents on both the ynamide and alkene, underlining their potential utility as an atom-economical source of azacycles.
