Abstract

A phosphate tether-mediated ring-closing metathesis study to the synthesis of Z-configured, P-stereogenic bicyclo[7.3.1]- and bicyclo[8.3.1]phosphates is reported. Investigations suggest that C3-substitution, olefin substitution, and proximity of the forming olefin to the bridgehead carbon of the bicyclic affect the efficiency and stereochemical outcome of the RCM event. This study demonstrates the utility of phosphate tether-mediated desymmetrization of C2-symmetric, 1,3-anti-diol-containing dienes in the generation of macrocyclic phosphates with potential synthetic and biological utility.

Keywords: phosphate tether, tripodal coupling, macrocyclic ring-closing metathesis, bicyclic phosphate triester, diastereotopic group differentiation, desymmetrization of C2-symmetric polyols, Z-selective ring-closing metathesis

Introduction

The development of methods that allow for the mild, high-yielding, and predictable coupling of simple chemical fragments to provide complex intermediates from core motifs common to a variety of natural products stands at the forefront of modern-day organic synthesis. In particular, methods that employ temporary tether strategies have emerged as intriguing tools to control substrate reactivity, site specificity and stereochemical outcome of tether-mediated transformations.1 While the use and study of temporary silicon-based tether systems in RCM is well represented in the literature,2 on-going efforts in our group have sought to exploit the inherent properties of phosphate triesters to develop tripodal P-tether systems3 for the generation of complex polyol-containing intermediates en route to the total synthesis of natural products. This work has led to the completion of a number of total and formal syntheses, including dolabelide C,4 salicylihalimide A (formal synthesis),5 (−)-tetrahydrolipstatin,6 (+)-strictifolione,7 and lyngbouilloside (core macrolactone).8 In an effort to expand the scope of the method, in 2013, we completed a detailed study on the effects of ring size and stereochemical complexity on the successful formation of bicyclo[4.3.1]-,9 bicyclo[5.3.1]-,10 and bicyclo[7.3.1]phosphates11,12 via diastereoselective RCM (Figure 1).13 Earlier this year, we published a continuation of these efforts to provide a number of stereochemically complex bicyclo[6.3.1]phosphates,14 along with a few simple examples of bicyclo[7.3.1]- and bicyclo[8.3.1]phosphates (Figure 1).15,16 However, the complexity of large ring dynamics—combined with the small sample size of bicyclo[7.3.1]- and bicyclo[8.3.1]phosphates in both studies—can complicate the generalization of those findings, and since the previous work represented some of the first reports of RCM to afford phosphates of this ring size, much remains to be discovered in this particular area of macrocyclic phosphate synthesis. The work reported herein expands upon previous efforts by focusing on the formation of bicyclo[7.3.1]- and bicyclo[8.3.1]phosphates (10- and 11-membered RCM), with a special emphasis on the effect of olefin- and C3-substition (Figure 1), as well as proximity of the forming olefin to the bridgehead carbon of the resultant bicyclic phosphate, on the success and stereochemical outcome of the macrocyclic, ring-closing metathesis event. In addition, the bicyclic phosphates formed after RCM-mediated macrocyclization represent a unique class of phosphates with potential synthetic, as well as biological, utility.

Results and Discussion

Synthesis of Bicyclo[7.3.1]phosphates

Prior to this report, the few examples of RCM to afford bicyclo[7.3.1]phosphates were limited to those resulting from the formation of a C7–C8 double bond within the bicyclic framework, and surprisingly, these reactions—when successful—provided the corresponding product as the E-isomer diastereoselectively (in diastereomeric ratios of > 20:1, Figure 1).12,16 However, as the RCM of analogous monocyclic Si-tethered systems proceeds with predominantly Z-configured olefin formation—even at larger ring sizes,17 there was some interest in attempting to perturb the stereoselectivity of the phosphate tether-mediated RCM to provide 10- and 11-membered rings to broaden the scope of the molecules accessible by this method. Thus, trienes 3 and 4 were chosen as model substrates to assess the effect of olefin substitution on the phosphate tether-mediated RCM to generate bicyclo[7.3.1]phosphates (Scheme 1).18

Scheme 1.

Scheme 1

Ring-closing metathesis to bicyclo[7.3.1]phosphates via formation of C7–C8-trisubstituted olefins

Enantiomeric monochlorophosphates (R,R)-1 and (S,S)-13 were added to the lithium alkoxides of 5-hexyn-1-ol and 5-methyl-5-hexen-1-ol, respectively, to afford alkynyl diene 2 and triene 3 in 65% and 68% yield, respectively. Subsequent hydrosilylation of 2, using conditions developed by Trost and Ball,19 provided vinyl silyloxy-containing triene 4 in moderate yield. Unfortunately, though a variety of catalysts and reaction conditions were attempted, the formation of bicyclo[7.3.1]phosphates 5 and 6 could not be achieved by RCM. With these results in hand, combined with those obtained in the previous study,16 we hypothesized that the proximity of the forming olefin (C7–C8) to the bridgehead carbon (C9) of the resultant bicyclo[7.3.1]phosphate, in combination with C3-substitution, was a significant contributor to the success and stereoselectivity of the phosphate tether-mediated RCM. Moreover, it was conjectured that homologation of the C2-symmetric dienediol used to generate the corresponding phosphate trienes could have important stereochemical and conformational effects on the synthesis of bicyclo[7.3.1]phosphates by virtue of increasing the distance between the forming olefin (now, C6–C7) and the bridgehead carbon (C9).

To assess this hypothesis, diastereomeric phosphate trienes 7 and 8 were synthesized from the coupling of monochlorophosphate (S,S)-912,16 and the corresponding chiral, non-racemic olefinic alcohols (S)-10 and (R)-10, respectively (Scheme 2). Treatment of triene 7 with Grubbs first generation catalyst (G-I), added in 1 mol % portions over 7 hours (6 mol %, total), provided the corresponding bicyclo[7.3.1]phosphates trans-1120 in 61% combined yield of a separable 2:1 mixture of Z/E-stereoisomers (with Z-trans-11 as the major stereoisomer).21 Notably, the formation of the analogous equivalent of this trans-bicyclo[7.3.1]phosphate via C7–C8 olefin formation was unsuccessful under a variety of RCM conditions,16 suggesting that the extension of the forming olefin from C7–C8 to C6–7 could provide for conformational flexibility that allows for the reaction of the latter to proceed (albeit with lower stereoselectivity). Conversely, RCM of triene 8 with G-I (3 mol %) provided Z-olefin-containing cis-12 in 88% as a single stereoisomer (dr > 20:1).

In addition to C3-substitution, olefin substitution was introduced to assess the effect—if any—on the success and stereochemical outcome of RCM to generate bicyclo[7.3.1]phosphates. To separate the effect of olefin substitution from C3-substitution, we first synthesized simple triene 13 via the coupling of monochlorophosphate (R,R)-1412,16 with 4-penten-1-ol (Scheme 3). Exposure of 13 to Grubbs second-generation catalyst (G-II) provided the corresponding bicyclic phosphate 15 as the Z-isomer in 87% yield. Olefin configuration was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis, as shown in Scheme 3.22 Interestingly, C3-substitution had little effect on the outcome of RCM for this set of bicyclo[7.3.1]phosphates, as the treatment of diastereomeric trienes 16 and 17 with G-II catalyst provided the expected bicyclic phosphates cis-18 and trans-19 in 81% and 87% yields, respectively, with excellent Z:E-diastereomeric ratios in each case. However, this substitution had a significant effect on the 1H and 13C NMR of trans-19, as high temperatures (95°C, DMSO-d6) and extended experiment times were required to partially resolve proton signals and properly identify short, broad carbon signals (See Supporting Information).

Finally, monochlorophosphate (S,S)-9 was coupled with 4-methyl-4-penten-1-ol to provide triene 20, armed with olefin substitution on the alcohol cross-partner, in 90% yield (Scheme 4). Triene 20 was treated with o-tolyl-Grubbs second-generation catalyst-variant Ru-21,23 in toluene at 35°C, to generate bicyclic phosphate 22 in 26% yield as the Z-isomer—in addition with a significant amount of oligomerization by-product. It should be noted that a number of reaction conditions were attempted to decrease the amount of oligomerization of 20 that occurs upon treatment with metathesis catalyst. However, extended reaction times and portion-wise addition of catalyst only led to an increase in oligomerization and a decrease in yield, presumably due to the type I nature of the mono-substituted olefins in pseudo-C2-symmetric triene 20 and the resultant exocyclic olefin in bicyclic phosphate 22.24

Synthesis of Bicyclo[8.3.1]phosphates

The method was extended to include the synthesis of bicyclo[8.3.1]phosphates via the formation of a C7–C8 olefin in order to determine the effects of C3-stereochemistry, olefin substitution, and proximity of the forming olefin to the bridgehead carbon (C10) on the success and stereochemical outcome of the RCM event. Studies commenced with the synthesis of diastereomeric trienes 23 and 24 from monochlorophosphate 9 and the corresponding chiral, non-racemic olefin-containing alcohols (S)-25 and (R)-25 (Scheme 5). Triene 23 was treated with G-I catalyst, in refluxing methylene chloride, to provide trans-26 in 63% as the Z-isomer (dr > 20:1). Conversely, the exposure of triene 24 to RCM conditions afforded bicyclic phosphates cis-27 as an inseparable mixture of Z/E-isomers (dr = 2:1 Z:E).25 These results were somewhat surprising, as the stereoselectivity of RCM to afford these C3-substituted bicyclo[8.3.1]phosphates was opposite the selectivity observed for the analogous bicyclo[7.3.1]phosphate systems (trans-11 and cis-12, Scheme 2, vide supra).

The effect of olefin substitution on the success and stereochemical outcome of RCM to bicyclo[8.3.1]phosphates was next examined. In this regard, simple triene 28 was synthesized, in excellent yield, from the coupling of (R,R)-14 and 5-hexen-1-ol (Scheme 6). Exposure of 28 to G-II catalyst (7 mol % over 9 hours) provided the corresponding bicyclo[7.3.1]phosphate 29 with exclusive Z-selectivity (dr > 20:1, as observed by NMR). To examine the effect of C3-substitution in these systems, we next synthesized diastereomeric phosphate trienes 30 and 31 from the coupling of monochlorophosphate 14 with chiral, non-racemic alcohols (S)-25 and (R)-25, respectively. Treatment of phosphate trienes 30 and 31 with G-II catalyst provided the expected products (cis-32 and trans-33) in good yield and selectivity.

X-ray crystallographic analysis of trans-33 confirmed the stereochemical result determined by NMR analysis (Figure 2). Interestingly, while the X-ray structures of every bicyclic phosphate obtained to date reveal an expected chair-conformation of the 6-membered ring of the bicyclic phosphate, the X-ray crystallographic analysis of trans-33 show a distorted boat geometry of the 6-membered ring, compensated for by a distorted tetrahedral geometry of the phosphate itself. In addition, the C3-substituent is directed away from the concave interior of the bicyclic phosphate. Taken collectively, this X-ray, in combination with experimental observation (gathered for both 10- and 11-membered ring formation, vide supra), suggest that C3-substitution could have a significant effect on large ring dynamics that influences the stereoselectivity of the RCM event.

Conclusion

In summary, phosphate tether-mediated RCM to provide a variety of P-stereogenic bicyclo[7.3.1]- and bicyclo[8.3.1]phosphates is reported. Unlike previous reports,12,16 the examples presented in this manuscript afford the corresponding bicyclic phosphates with predominantly Z-selectivity, though C3-substitution can affect the level of selectivity for disubstituted olefin formation. Olefin substitution (methyl) was well-tolerated, though higher catalyst loadings and extended reaction times were sometimes required for full conversion (6.2). Taken collectively, these results, in combination with those obtained in previous reports, suggest that C3-substitution, olefin substitution, the proximity of the forming olefin to the bridgehead carbon of resultant the bicyclic phosphate are all important factors in the success and stereochemical outcome of the RCM event. In addition, the bicyclic phosphates generated in this report represent an interesting class of macrocyclic phosphates with potential synthetic and biological utility as small molecule probes.

Experimental Section

All reactions were carried out in oven- or flame-dried glassware, under argon atmosphere, using standard gas-tight syringes, cannulae, and septa. Stirring was achieved with oven-dried magnetic stir bars. Toluene, THF, and CH2Cl2 were purified by passage through a purification system employing activated Al2O3.26 Et3N was purified by passage over basic alumina and stored over KOH. Butyllithium was purchased from Aldrich and titrated prior to use. All olefin metathesis catalysts were acquired from Materia and used without further purification. Flash column chromatography was performed with silica gel (40–63 μm), and thin layer chromatography was performed on silica gel 60F254 plates. 1H, 13C, DEPT, COSY, HSQC, HMBC and NOESY NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl3 (unless otherwise mentioned) at 500 MHz, and 125 MHz, respectively, calibrated to the solvent peak, and utilized to unambiguously assign proton and carbon signals. Correspondingly, 31P NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl3 at 162 MHz. High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) was recorded using ESI (MeOH), and exact masses were observed for (2M+Na)+ ions.

General Procedure for Phosphate Triester Triene Generation (General Procedure 1)

To a solution of alcohol (1.1 equiv) in THF (0.2 M), at -40 °C under argon, was added n-BuLi (2.5 M in hexanes, 1 equiv), dropwise. The mixture was allowed to stir for 5 minutes, at which point a solution of phosphate monochloride (1.2 equiv) in THF (1 mL) was slowly added to the reaction vessel via cannulation. The mixture stirred at –40 °C for 2 hours (monitored by TLC) and was quenched with aqueous NH4Cl (sat.). The biphasic solution was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted EtOAc (3 × 5 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification via flash chromatography (silica, 0% to 50% EtOAc in Hexanes) provided triene-containing monocyclic phosphate triester product.

General procedure for RCM to provide bicyclo[7.3.1]- and bicyclo[8.3.1]phosphates (General Procedure 2)

To a flask containing monocyclic phosphate triester (1 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (dry, degassed, 0.001 M), equipped with an argon inlet and reflux condenser, was added p-benzoquinone (10 mol %). Then, G-I or G-II catalyst [see reaction schemes, vide supra] was added to the reaction [portion-wise in 1 mol % quantities over the allotted reaction time], and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux. Upon completion (monitored by TLC), the reaction was cooled to room temperature, where 5 drops of DMSO were added and the reaction was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification via flash chromatography (silica, 0% to 60% or 75% EtOAc in Hexanes) provided the corresponding bicyclic phosphate.

(4R,6R)-2-((5-(triethoxysilyl)hex-5-en-1-yl)oxy)-4,6-divinyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinane 2-oxide (4)

To a clean, dry round bottom flask, equipped with a magnetic stirbar, was added 2 (0.0720 g, 0.2664 mmol) and CH2Cl2 (dry, degassed, 3 mL) under Ar. The flask was cooled to 0 °C, where (Cp*Ru[MeCN]3)PF6 (6.7 mg, 0.01332 mmol, 5 mol %) was added in two portions. The flask was removed from the cooling bath and warmed to room temperature.

  • 9.In a manner similar to the naming system used in previous reports, we have generated a simplified set of identifiers that is a short-hand description of the IUPAC-designated names for each class of synthesized phosphate in order to emphasize the type of bicyclic structure formed after successful RCM. The proper names of each bicyclic phosphate are reported in the experimental section and corresponding supporting information. In addition, each proper name will be denoted as references throughout the manuscript. In this case, bicyclo[4.3.1]phosphates refers to “2,9,10-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo(4.3.1)dec-4-ene 1-oxides.”

  • 13.The term “diastereoselective,” while seemingly unintuitive, refers to the newly formed stereogenic center at phosphorus, which forms stereoselectively based upon the inherent stereochemistry of chiral, non-racemic, C2-symmetric, 1,3-anti-diene diol utilized in the reaction; for a detailed discussion on this selectivity, see references 3a–c. Essentially, this term describes the diastereoselective RCM that results in the formation of a stereogenic phosphorus atom from RCM precursor trienes that are pseudo-C2-symmetric.
