The intramolecular nucleophilic addition of allylsilane to imine allows the construction of many ring systems in a convenient pathway. After the preparation of appropriate allylsilane-imine substrates, various conditions were applied to furnish the formation of pyrrolidine derivatives. It was found triftuoroacetyl triflate could effect such cyclization to form N -trifluoroacetyl-pyrrolidine with reasonable diastereoselectivity. F -19 NMR was applied to determine the ratio of two possible diastereomers conveniently. The structures were determined with H-I NMR NOE measurements and confirmed by X-ray crystallography. ] CHAPTER ] INTRODUCTION AIlyIsilanes have proven to be amonp the most versatile o f the silicon-containing carbon nucleophiles. The inter- or intramolecular addition of an allylsilane to carbon electrophiles has been widely used in organic synthesis, often with high level of stereocontrol J A large majority of allylsilane chemistry is based on [3-effect, the ability of silicon atom to stabilize the carbocation next to a C-Si bond. These systems tend to lose silyl group and form a double bond, thus give much higher regioselectivity than losing a proton in the analog without silyl group. (Scheme I) "V, vL: SiMe3 E ,SiMe3 uL I Scheme I The most commonly used substrates o f allylsilane addition include aldehydes and ketones, acetals, a, (3-unsaturated ketones. The intramolecular addition reactions have been widely used in construction o f various ring systems. 2I (Scheme 2) O Scheme 2 !mines are also seen as substrates of allylsilane addition although not as widely used as the others. Compared to that of aldehydes, the reaction of imines with allylsilanes is sluggish even in the presence o f Lewis acids. However, some examples have been reported.^ (Scheme 3) CsF, THF 20- 94% 13 R1 'hX R2 H 15 14 Scheme 3 It was reported that iminium salts, generated either from primary or secondary amine, are more reactive to the addition of a lly lsila n e .4 An intramolecular version gave rise to the adduct from simple phenylacetaldehyde.

An intramolecular addition of allylbis(silane) was developed earlier, showing that the pyrrolidine ring can be constructed stereoselectively.6 (Scheme 6) In most cases, these cyclizations showed interesting stereochemistry, with aromatic imines favoring cis- 4 pyrrolidines and aliphatic imines favoring vans- pyrrolidines. The goal of this project was to explore the appropriate conditions for similar cyclizations of the analogous allylsilane-imines and their stereochemistry . M e3S ' \ R N' H R 30 29 Scheme 6 CHAPTER 2 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The synthetic route to the allylsilane-imine precyclization substrates 31 is similar to the methods developed earlier in our laboratory and in the literature. f' ' These imines can be conveniently prepared from amine 32 and a variety of aldehydes. (Scheme 7). while amine 32 can be prepared as shown below. Me2Si 34 35 Scheme 7 The commercially available chloromethyltrimethylsilane 36 was converted to the corresponding iodide 35 by treatment with sodium iodide and tetrabutylammonium iodide in water. * Alkylation of the THP-proteeted 3-butyn-l-ol 37 9 with iodomethyltrimethylsilane 35 gave alkylated product 38. (Scheme 8) ^ Me3Si' Nal / Ii-Bu4N'*!" ^CI 36 H2O173% Me,SI 1 35 72% (2 steps) Scheme 8 33 6 After acidic deprotection. 6-(trimethy]si]y])-4-hexyn-1-ol 33 was partially reduced to cis -alkenol 39 by P-2 nickel-catalyzed hydrogenation in high yield. A subsequent Mitsunobu reaction (modified from the literature. Initial temperature at —40OC) converted alcohol into A'-substituted phthalimide 40. which generated unprotected amine 32 upon hydrazinolysis.6 (Scheme 9) P h ,P , DEA D phthalim ide, THF -3 O11C to rt. n I Oh. 98% E tO H . reflux RCHO M S 4 A .T H 1 or MgSO4. CHnCu Scheme 9 The desired allylsilane-imines 31 for cyclizations were prepared from amine 32 and aldehyde under 4A molecular sieves (THF. dichloromethane. or hexane) or anhydrous magnesium sulfate (dichloromethane) conditions. Condensations with molecular sieves were slower but gave cleaner products than those with magnesium sulfate. For imines that tend to form enamine, magnesium sulfate must be used to avoid tautomerization during prolonged reaction period. In most cases, condensations were complete within 12 hours, whereas sterically hindered aldehydes need much longer time to form imines. Various methods were then explored to effect cyclization. The first attempt made was to use Lewis acid, following the existing model o f bis(allylsilane)-imine substrates. 6 AllylsiJane-imine 4] (made from isobutyraldehyde) was treated with T1CI4 at -78°C. The temperature was then allowed to rise gradually to room temperature and stay at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was then quenched with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and worked up. After tosylaled, cyclized product 43 was detected. However, the yield was only 6%. (Scheme 10) Scheme 10 Considering that pyrrolidine 42 with an isopropyl side-chain had a small molecular weight and might be volatile, which could cause loss in handling and workup, another allylsilane-imine ( 31, R=Ph) was made and tested for cyclization again (-78°C, then O0C for 12 hours). However, it didn't give good yield either. Other Lewis acids (BF3 EtaO, TiF4, EtzAlCl, ZrCE) as well as Bronsted acids (CF3CO2H, CF3SO3H) were tried in attempts to activate the imine moiety. They didn’t give the cyclized product. The same conditions used for the allylbis(silane)-imine cyclization were not suitable in the new system. Presumably, the allylbis(silane) can 8 stabilize the cationic intermediate 47 much better and it is more effectively nucleophilic than the allylsilane (Scheme 11). Scheme 11 To accomplish the proposed cyclization, we must increase the reactivity o f the allylsilane-imine substrate, either the allylsilane moiety or the imine moiety. Fluorine was known to be able to stabilize its adjacent carbocation.111 If a Huorinated allylsilane-imine substrate 48 was made, fluorine atom might help increase the reactivity of allylsilane moiety thus promote the cyclization. A route toward the desired Huoroallylsilane-imine substrate was explored. (Scheme 12) Scheme 12 9 Following the preparation of phosphonamide 50 then ylide salt 51. a Wittig-type reaction was carried out. 1.1-Chlorofluoroalkene 5b was termed with no stereoselectivity between two possible isomers.11 Unfortunately, catalyzed coupling reaction between chloroalkene 56 and trimethylsilylmethyl zinc reagent (generated from Grignard reagent and zinc chloride) could not be accomplished under various conditions. Neither Pd-based catalysts (Pd(PPhs)^CF. Pd(dppb)2CF. P d ^ p p t^C F ). nor N i-based catalysts (Ni(PP)IsFCF , Ni(dppfFCF) could furnish the coupling. (Scheme 13) cal "Ni" m "Pd" no reaction Mc3SiCH2ZnCI C 56 Scheme 13 A structural analogue 57 with no other functionality was also made and tested. It didn’t give coupling product, either. (Scheme 14) The adjacent fluorine atom could make the C-Cl bond more electron-deficient thus difficult for palladium insersion. which is crucial to the whole catalytic process. The exact reason remains unclear. CFCI2 Q"NMe2 Me2N NMe2 cat.

Several Lewis had been tested and failed to give satisfactory results. In order to increase the reactivity o f iminium ion, another pathway to 10 the desired the pyrrolidine product was explored. It has been known that A^acyliminium ions are much more reactive than the corresponding imines. Allylsilane was added to the A'-acyliminium ion intermediate 59 generated from the aminal 58.12:1 By converting iminc 61 into an A’-acyliminium ion 62, pyrrolidine 63 was formed by cyclization, although o n ly aromatic imines were explored. ,2h (Scheme 15) M e 2S il HCO2H. or SnCl4. or El2AlCl 69-81% Scheme 15 Tosyliminium ions react in a similar manner. It was used in the contraction of a tricyclic system. (Scheme 16) Scheme 16 ]] Similar lo a lileralure procedure. I2h dimelhylpyrocarhonate and Lewis acid were used consequently to convert an allylsilane-imine substrate 41 to iminium ion. cyclized product 68 was isolated as a single isomer. But an effort following the known procedure6 toward a single-step conversion by using trifluoroacetic anhydride didn't generate the cyclized product. (Scheme 17) 41 41 Scheme 17 Trifluoroacetyl Inflate 69 (TFAT) was claimed an extremely reactive electrophile.1'1 It can be made in the lab by condensation of triflic acid and trifluoroacetic acid with P2Cfs. Because o f its high reactivity with electron-rich substrate, it was expected to form trifluoroacetyliminium ion with allylsilane-imine substrate 29, therefore promote the cyclization by activating the imine moiety. Since inflate is an excellent leaving group, it was possible to generate A^acyliminium ion 70 without further activation by Lewis acid, thus give rise to the cyclized product 30 in a single step. (Scheme 18) ex C F 3C O 2H TFAl C F 2S O 3H PnO. 72',. 70 Scheme 18 To that end. treatment of an allylsilane-imine 29a with TFAT at -78°C, followed by gradual warming to room temperature, gave the pyrrolidine derivative 30a in 54% yield in a single step (Scheme 19). With optimized conditions (-40°C), the yield was increased to 72%. The product was determined to be diastereomeric mixture of 4.6:1. with frow -isom er as the major product (see below). The lability of trifluoromethylacetamide to basic hydrolysis makes it a favorable amine-protecting group. Unprotected pyrrolidine for further conversion can be generated upon basic hydrolysis. 4.6:1 29a 71 Scheme 19 After optimizing the experiment conditions, more imines were subjected to cyclizations. Most cyclizations were carried out at -40°C for 2-6 hours. For less reactive 13 substrates, longer reaction time was needed. The scope of this reaction has been evaluated with a variety of substrates. The results are collected in Table I .

When the side chain was changed to aromatic groups, the cvclization reaction formed pyrrolidines as expected, but with 2,3-cis predominant products, usually with higher selectivity. (Scheme 21) Scheme 21 15 When aromatic imines with electron-donating group were used, the yields were apparently lower than others. Presumably, an electron-donating group stabilizes the cationic intermediate and lowers its reactivity. (Scheme 22) Scheme 22 In all cases, especially in 29f and 29g when imines had electron-donating groups, a considerable amount o f byproduct 71 was detected, varying from 1% to 30%.14 It was possibly generated from aqueous quenching of trifluoroactyliminium ion intermediate 70. When imine had electron-donating groups that help stabilize the carbocation. the highest amount of byproduct 71 was obtained. It could be seen as evidence that the cyclizations occur via a cationic pathway. (Scheme 23) Me3Si1 \ Me3S ii TFAT % -D T f H F3C. JiMe3 70 71 Scheme 23 16 There was one ketone tested for the cyclizaiton. Ethyl veluvinate was condensed with the precursor amine. The formed imine was subjected to the routine cyclization conditions. The product was formed in good yield and with reasonable diastereoselectivity. The final stereochemistry has not been assigned yet. (Scheme 24) 32 73 Scheme 24 The reaction cyclization is 5-exo-trig for allylsilane moiety, while 5-endo-trig for imine moiety. Its transition state may be an envelop-shaped 5-member ring. (Scheme 25) To avoid higher steric hindrance, two groups prefer to stay at two faces (76). In the cases of aromatic !mines, the aromatic substituent can stabilize the adjacent carbocation. Rotation around the C-N bond transforms tram orientation to cis. Moreover, LUMO of the imine moiety is delocalized through trifluoroactyl group and aromatic substituent. To reach the maximum overlapping with HOMO o f allylsilane moiety, aromatic group prefers to be at the same face with allylsilane group (78). 17 Scheme 25 There was difficulty in the determination of exact ratio of two possible pyrrolidine stereoisomers. 1H-NMR and GC are among the easiest methods used to determine the ratio o f a pair o f stereoisomers. In this case, the complicated signals o f amide compounds hindered the direct reading of ratio from 1H-NMR spectra. Their similar chromatographic property made it difficult to isolate enough pure sample for GC calibration. Quantitative 13C-NMR were also tried but failed to give accurate integration due to the insufficient signal intensities. 19F-NMR was finally chosen to determine the ratio of two stereoisomers. In most cases, however, four peaks representing two AMrifluoroactylpyrrolidine isomers, and two close peaks representing byproduct were observed. Analytically pure samples were isolated with preparative gas chromatography. When two isomers were too close to separate, a partial separated sample was subjected to 19F-NMR measurement. The change in relative intensity o f signals was used to assign the peaks in the original 19F-NMR spectrum.

In addition, coupling constant is consistent with structurally related compounds formed from allylbis(silane)-imines.6 NOE experiments showed similar results. In products o f cis- orientation, significant NOE was observed between C2-H and 03-El. To confirm the structural assignment, one product was converted to the corresponding AMosylpyrrolidine (Scheme 27). The result of NOE experiment o f AMosylpyrrolidine was consistent with that o f Ntrifluoroacetylpyrrolidine. Scheme 27 20 A single crystal'of the resulting JV-tosylpyrrolidine (grown in ethyl ether/hexane) was subjected to X-ray crystallography.

Electronic impact mass spectra (70 eV) were obtained with a Hewlett Packard 5970 series GCmasspec. High resolution mass spectra were recorded on a VG Instrument 70E-HF spectrometer. Melting points were obtained using a Mel-Temp II apparatus equipped with a Fluke 5 1 digital thermometer and are uncorrected. Tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether were distilled from sodium/benzophenone. Dichloromethane, toluene and dimethylformamide were distilled from CaHz. Unless otherwise noted, all reactions were carried out under an atmosphere of argon in flamed or oven-dried vessel with magnetic stir bar and stir plate. Unless otherwise stated, reagents were used without purification. 23 Iodomethyltrimethylsilane (35) This procedure was slightly modified in separation from the literature procedure. A mixture o f chloromethyltrimethylsilane (13.2 g, 107.5 mmol), sodium iodide (32.2 g, 215 mmol), tetrabutylammonium iodide (7.9 g, 21.5 mmol), and water (18 mL) was heated to reflux for 4 hours. After cooled to room temperature, the mixture was partitioned between water and pentane. The mixture settled into two phases with a thick interface o f gray suspension. After filtration through a pad celite (washed with pentane), a clear twophase solution was obtained. The organic phase was separated and washed with water (2x20 mL), then dried over magnesium sulfate. After filtration, pentane was evaporated under reduced pressure while the flask containing the product was cooled with an ice bath. The concentrated clear or lightly colored liquid was distilled (136 0C, 745 mmHg) to afford the product as a clear liquid (16.726g, 73%). The resulting iodide was used immediately. The compound shows pink color, a sign o f decomposition, within 24 hours at 0 0C. 2-But-3 -ynyloxy-tetrahydro-pyran (37) To a mixture o f 3—butyn-l-ol (2.9 mL, 38 mmol), dihydropyran (3.8 ml., 42 mmol) in CHzCL (2 mL) cooled at 0# was added p-toluenesulfonic acid (10 mg; 20 mg) in one portion. Stirring was continued at that temperature for 30 minutes, followed by at room temperature for 16 hours. The solution was transferred to a separatory funnel, washed with saturated NaHCOg (15 mL). The organic layer was separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with CHzCL (20 mL). The combined CHzCL solution was dried over 24 NazSC^. After filtration and evaporation, the residue was distilled ( water aspirator, ~ 20 mmHg, 113-117 O C ) to afford 2-but-3-ynyloxy-tetrahydro-pyran ( THP-protected 3b u ty n -l-o l) ( 4.78 g, 82 % ) 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) 8 4.63 ( t, 1H, CH(OR)2), 3.84.0 (m, 2H, OCH2), 3.4-3.6 ( m, 2H, OCH2), 2.5 (m, 2H, C=CCH2), 2.0 (t, 1H, C=CH), 1.3-1.8 (m, 6H, (CH2)3) 6-(Trimethylsilyl)-4-hexyn-1-ol (33) To a stirred solution o f THP-protected 3-butyn-l-ol (30.84 g, 0.20 mol) in THF (200 mL) at -4 0 0C (bath) and under argon was added dropwise butyllithium ( 81.4 mL, 2.457 M in hexane, 0.20 mol), followed by stirring a t-3 0 0C (bath) and 0 0C (bath) each for 15 min. Iodomethyltrimethylsilane (42.85 g, 0.20 mol) was added in one portion. The reaction flask was then cover with aluminum foil and heated with stirring at 55 0C for 36 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool down to room temperature, then diluted with 500 mL o f pentane. The resulting mixture was washed with water (3x300 mL), dried over MgS O4, and concentrated in vacuo. Crude product was obtained as a yellowish oil which could be used without further purification ( GC > 98 %). (It could be purified with Kugelrohr distillation to give a colorless oil in 70% yield). To the solution o f the crude from the previous step in methanol (3 0 0 mL) was added 2 drops o f 98% sulfuric acid. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The mixture was transferred to a 2 L separatory funnel. 300 mL o f ethyl ether and 300 mL pentane were added. The resulting mixture was washed with half-saturated NaHCO3 ( 400 mL), water ( 400 mL), and brine (4 0 0 mL), then dried over MgSO^ After 25 filtration and evaporation o f the solvent, fractional distillation ( 61-65°C, 2 rrunHg) afforded the pure product as a clear liquid.

The mixture turned black immediately upon addition. The flask was purged with hydrogen and ethylenediamine ( 0.56 mL, 8.4 mmol, 50% mol) was introduced. After 5 min, a solution o f 6-(trimethylsilyl)-4-hexyn-1-ol (2.64g, 16.9 m m o l) in absolute ethanol ( 4 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred vigorously under hydrogen atmosphere for 5 hours (TLC). Significant absorption o f hydrogen was observed. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residual was triturated with dichloromethane. Filtration through a short column o f Florisil (CH2Cl2 as elutant), followed by evaporation o f the solvents under reduced pressure gave the product which was pure enough ( GC > 96% ) for further transformation ( 2.53g, 16.0 mmol, 94% ). 1H N M R (300 MHz, CDCl3) 8 5.48-5.66 (m, 1H, CH=C), 5.16-5.33 (m, 1H, C=CH), 3.62 (q, 2H, OCH2, J=6.4), 2.38 (q, 2H, J=7.2, CH2C=), 1.50 (d, J=8.5, 2H, CH2Si), 0 (s, 9H, Si(CH3)3); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3, 1H decoupled) 8 129.1, 122.5, 62.5, 30.6, 18.7, -1.8; 26 7V-(Z)-(5-Trimethylsilylpent-3-enyl)phthalimide (40) The preparation o f phthalimide is modified from the literature. The reduction o f the initial temperature (bath) to -4 0 0C greatly improved the yield. Presumably, the reaction o f triphenylphosphine with diethyl diazocarboxylate is highly exothermic, which may cause certain side effect in Mitsunobu reaction.
