Catalyst Systems

A combined synthetic and computational (DFT) study has been performed to account for the divergent reactivity of indole-tethered ynones when treated with Ag(I) and Au(I) catalysts. The two catalyst systems deliver spirocyclic indolenines and carbazoles, respectively, from the same precursors, with the reaction outcomes believed to be a result of differences in the rates of a key protodemetalation step. A ring-opening/ring-closing isomerisation process is proposed to enable the interconversion of spirocyclic and C-2 annulated indole intermediates, in contrast to the 1,2-migration mechanism tentatively proposed in previous studies.

Electrophilic Activation

Ring opening of 2-(chloromethyl)oxirane via the nucleophilic substitution with bromide and acetate anions was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It was shown that the geometry of the transition states and the activation parameters of the reactions correspond to those of SN2-like mechanism. The nature of localized transition states was analyzed using More O’Ferrall – Jencks plots. The quantum chemical simulations of the potential energy surface for the ring-opening reaction of oxirane by nucleophiles confirmed the theoretical assumptions about the favored path of interactions, which is a backside α-attack of nucleophile. The effect of alkali metal cation (Li+, Na+, K+) on that path was estimated. It was found that the electrophilic activation with alkali metal cation is more pronounced in the reaction of 2-(chloromethyl)oxirane with dissociated ions, than with ionic pairs.
