AbstractThe regioselective 1,4-conjugate aza-Michael addition of dienones with benzotriazole catalyzed by potassium acetate is described. A series of 3-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,5-diarylpent-4-en-1-ones were efficiently synthesized under mild conditions. This protocol has advantages of transition-metal free catalyst, high yield and high regioselectivity.

A K2CO3-catalyzed one-pot protocol involving sequential C–C bond formation and cleavage of aromatic β-diketones with α,β-unsaturated esters is developed to obtain 1,5-ketoesters, proceeding smoothly under mild conditions in up to 98% isolated yield.

An amine-promoted (4+3) annulation of δ-acetoxy allenoate with o-diaminobenzene is reported, providing a facile access to 1,5-benzodiazepine. This method features wide reaction scope, mild conditions, and readily available starting materials. The cascade reaction involves aza-Michael addition of o-diaminobenzene to allenoate, elimination of acetate group, and subsequent 1,6-aza-Michael addition.

We report a highly efficient asymmetric Michael addition of dithiomalonates to trans-β-nitroolefins catalyzed by versatile cinchona-based bifunctional thioureas, which provides the corresponding adducts in high yields (up to 92%) and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) under mild conditions. Replacement of the catalyst with its pseudo-enantiomer gives the Michael adducts with opposite configuration in similar yields and enantioselectivities.

Cinchona alkaloid-derived organocatalysts are widely employed in various asymmetric transformations, yielding products with high enantiopurity. In this respect, a bifunctional quinine-derived sulfonamide organocatalyst was developed to catalyze the asymmetric sulfa-Michael reaction of naphthalene-1-thiol with trans-chalcone derivatives. The target sulfa-Michael adducts were obtained with up to 96% ee under mild conditions and with a low (1 mol %) catalyst loading. Selected enantiomerically enriched sulfa-Michael addition products were subjected to oxidation to obtain the corresponding sulfones.

The regiospecific 1,4-Michael addition of phenylacetonitrile to (2E,4E)-1,5-diarylpenta-2,4-dien-1-ones produced 12 novel (E)-3-(2-oxo-2-arylethyl)-2,5-diarylpent-4-enenitriles in 77-88% yield. The advantages of the method are broad substrate scope, mild conditions, good to high yields and high selectivity. The method can also be extended to a gram scale.

(–)-GB17 3 is one of the Galbulimima alkaloids, a family that shows a wide range of interesting physiological activity. Regan J. Thomson of Northwestern University devised (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 2481) a convergent assembly of 3, a key step of which was the intramolecular Michael cyclization of 1 to 2. The hydroxy aldehyde 6 was prepared by alkylation of the dithiane 4 with 5, followed by hydrolysis. The preparation of 9, by condensation of 8 with 7 followed by hydrogenation and protection, had been reported by Lhommet. Condensation of 9 with the linchpin reagent 10 gave an intermediate keto phosphonate, which was combined with 6 to give, after oxidation, the aldehyde 1. Two new stereogenic centers are created in the course of the cyclization of 1. The authors found that the TFA salt 11 of the Hayashi catalyst delivered 2 with high diastereocontrol. Control experiments showed that the buttressing effect of the dithiane was required for the cyclization. The authors then explored the next intramolecular Michael cyclization of 13 to 14. In this cyclization, the stereogenic center at 6 is in jeopardy by elimination and readdition. Cyclization of the trans unsaturated ester led to the wrong diastereomer of 14, but cyclization of the cis ester 13, prepared by the Still-Gennari protocol, cleanly gave the desired diastereomer. The reaction worked best with the free amine. Under the conditions of the reaction the Michael addition product spontaneously cyclized to the lactam 14. The ketone of 14 was selectively enolized, then converted to its enol triflate, which under Pd-mediated reduction gave the alkene 15. Alkylation of 15 with 16 predominantly gave the diene 18. Hydrolysis of the dithiane to the ketone followed by reduction gave mainly the desired equatorial alcohol, which was cleaved oxidatively to (–)-GB17 3. Although there have been many isolated reports of the utility of intramolecular Michael addition as a synthetic method, there has been little systematic investigation. The optimization studies that are the heart of this work are a welcome addition.
