The diastereoselective synthesis of highly substituted β-lactams by intramolecular Tsuji–Trost allylation is reported. Judicious selection of the ligand on palladium allows selective access to either the trans isomer (in generally good to excellent yield with very high diastereomeric excess) or cis isomer (with yields and diastereoselectivity ranging from modest to excellent depending on the substrate). The reaction proceeds under exceedingly mild conditions (rt, no additives) with a broad range of substrates, which are readily accessible by the Ugi reaction.

Introduction

Transition metal-catalyzed formation of C–C, C–N, and C–O bonds has evolved into an essential tool for the construction of medicinally relevant heterocycles. In particular, the Tsuji–Trost reaction and related allylation reactions allow the efficient construction of C(sp3)–C(sp3) and C(sp3)–N bonds, resulting in highly substituted (hetero)cyclic frameworks when conducted in an intramolecular fashion.1 Recently, we demonstrated that diamides 1 functionalized with an allylic carbonate handle (readily produced by the Ugi four-component reaction [U4CR]) efficiently undergo catalytic asymmetric intramolecular allylation to give highly substituted diketopiperazines 2 (DKPs; Scheme 1A).2 In continuation of our work in this area, we realized that replacing symmetric (cyclic) ketones with heterocyclic aldehydes presented interesting opportunities for alternative cyclization modes (Scheme 1B). While formation of DKPs 4 may still occur, especially for small R1 substituents, the presence of the heterocyclic substituent significantly increases the α-acidity of the substrate, allowing cyclization of the π-allylpalladium intermediate either via the heterocyclic N atom (leading to 5, as reported by You et al. with iridium catalysis,3 albeit with a nonconjugated electrophile) or the Cα atom (giving 6). Preliminary experiments (see the Supporting Information) soon revealed that formation of 4 and 5 is outcompeted by the formation of β-lactams 6.

Scheme 1

It is hard to overstate the importance of β-lactams as antibiotics, with a prominent role for the penicillins and cephalosporins, as exemplified by penicillin G (I; Figure 1). The rise of antibiotic resistance against first-line antibiotics has led to the development of β-lactamase inhibitors such as aztreonam (II).4 In addition, the recently launched cholesterol absorption inhibitor ezetimibe (III) also features a β-lactam ring. Consequently, robust and efficient synthetic access to β-lactams with control over relative and absolute stereochemistry is in high demand.

Pharmaceuticals containing β-lactam motifs.

Currently, the production of β-lactam drugs typically relies on semisynthesis starting from simplified penicillin and cephalosporin derivatives obtained by fermentation. In addition to the cyclization of β-amino acids,5 synthetic methods for the construction of β-lactams include the Staudinger reaction6 (i.e., the formal [2 + 2] cycloaddition of ketenes and imines), the Kinugasa reaction,7 intramolecular carbene insertion,8 and various other methods.9 In addition, several methods for the synthesis of β-lactams based on the U4CR have been reported,1014 but these do not offer the same flexibility, substitution pattern, and stereocontrol. Given the mild conditions of our (likely kinetically controlled) reaction and opportunities to fine-tune the reaction outcome via the Pd ligand, we set about to investigate possibilities to control the relative stereochemistry of the process.

Results and Discussion

Fortuitously, we soon discovered that the ligand on Pd has a profound effect on the diastereoselectivity of our reaction (Table 1; see the Supporting Information for the full optimization study). Notably, we found that the use of monodentate phosphine ligands afforded predominantly the trans isomer, while the cis isomer was the major product when bidentate phosphines were used. Thus, while 6a was obtained as a 31:69 trans/cis diastereomeric mixture under the initial conditions (Pd2dba3, dppe, CH2Cl2, rt, 24 h, entry 1), simply replacing the dppe ligand with SPhos gave 6a in near-quantitative yield as a 91:9 mixture of diastereomers (entry 2). The stereoselectivity was lower in more polar solvents (DMF, MeCN; entries 3 and 4) but even higher in toluene and 1,4-dioxane (entries 5 and 6). Having selected the latter as the optimal solvent, we studied the influence of the carbonate leaving group. As in our previous work,2 we found that the ethyl carbonate is superior to the corresponding methyl and tert-butyl carbonates (3ab and 3ac, entries 7 and 8). Next, we focused on identifying conditions that allow selective access to the cis isomer of 6a. Testing several bidentate phosphine ligands, we noted a marked dependence on the bite angle, with dppp giving the highest selectivity (for details, see the Supporting Information). Thus, simply replacing dppe with dppp increased the diastereoselectivity from 31:69 to 11:89 (entry 9). Interestingly, in this case, solvents such as toluene and 1,4-dioxane gave lower selectivity (entries 10 and 11), while the selectivity was maintained in polar solvents (entries 12 and 13). Performing the reaction in 1,2-dichloroethane gave 6a with 9:91 dr, albeit still in only modest yield (entry 14). After observing various other reaction parameters not leading to either an improved yield or dr (see the Supporting Information), we next performed the reaction at different concentrations (entries 15–17) and found that the reaction performs optimally at 0.066 M. Again, the use of carbonates 3ab and 3ac offered no further improvement (entries 18 and 19).

Having identified conditions to selectively access either the trans isomer [conditions A: 5 mol % Pd2(dba)3, 20 mol % SPhos, 1,4-dioxane (0.2 M), rt, 24 h] or the cis isomer [conditions B: 5 mol % Pd2(dba)3, 10 mol % dppp, 1,2-dichloroethane (0.066 M), rt., 24 h], we set out to investigate the scope and limitations of the stereodivergent and chemoselective procedures with respect to R1 and R2 as well as the heterocyclic substituent. Thus, we studied the cyclization of diversely substituted Ugi products 3aa3r under both conditions A and B (Scheme 2). To our delight, nearly all reactants were converted to the corresponding β-lactams 6a6r under both sets of conditions, often with high selectivity and no trace of either diketopiperazines 4 or dearomatization products 5.

Yield of 3.0 mmol-scale experiment.

Reagents and conditions: A: 3 (0.20 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (0.01 mmol), SPhos (0.04 mmol), 1,4-dioxane (1 mL), 24 h, rt. B: 3 (0.20 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (0.01 mmol), dppp (0.02 mmol), 1,2-dichloroethane (3 mL), 24 h, rt.

Pyridine-substituted substrates 3aa–3d were converted to β-lactams 6a6d in good to excellent yield with (nearly) complete selectivity for the trans isomer under conditions A.

Under conditions B, products 6a6d were formed with moderate selectivity for the cis isomer in modest to reasonable yield. Notably, the cyclization of 3d (featuring a primary R1 substituent) was accompanied by the formation of the corresponding diketopiperazine 2d as a side product (15%, 67:33 dr) only under conditions B. Isoxazole-functionalized substrates 3e3h were also converted to the corresponding β-lactams in modest to excellent yield, always with full diastereoselectivity under conditions A. Under conditions B, the yields were generally lower, and the selectivity for the cis isomer ranges from moderate (6e and 6f) to excellent (6g and 6h). The regioisomeric isoxazole substrate 3i was converted to 6i under both sets of conditions, in both cases with moderate selectivity for the expected diastereomer. Imidazole-substituted substrates 3j3m were selectively converted to trans-β-lactams 6j6m under conditions A, but no conversion took place under conditions B. The product 6l was an exception, being formed in good yield under conditions B, curiously with complete selectivity for the trans isomer. Isoquinolin-3-yl-substituted β-lactam 6n was also only formed under conditions A, still with excellent dr. Reactions of substrates with other heterocyclic substituents (3o3q and 3s) or an ester (3r) all afforded the corresponding β-lactams in reasonable to excellent yield under both conditions A and B, but the selectivity was completely lost; nearly identical dr’s were observed regardless of the conditions. Apparently, the nature of the heterocyclic substituent plays a key role in the diastereoselection. X-ray crystallographic analysis of cis-6s15 confirmed the relative stereochemistry assigned by 1H NMR.16 With regard to the R1 and R2 substituents, the mild reaction conditions tolerate a wide variety of functional groups, including nitro groups, ethers, esters, amides, alkenes, alkynes, acetals, and aryl bromides. Intrigued by the stereodivergence of the reaction under conditions A and B, we sought to rationalize this remarkable difference in diastereoselectivity. We speculate that, in reactions employing monodentate ligands (i.e., conditions A), the heterocyclic N atom is actively involved in the mechanism, specifically by intramolecular coordination of the π-allylpalladium(II) complex (Figure 2), thus leading to the trans diastereoisomer (with a syn arrangement of the vinyl group and heterocycle). Indeed, pyridines and related N-heterocycles are common directing groups in Pd(II)-catalyzed C–H activation.17 However, we could not find any literature precedent of their use in directing reactions of π-allylpalladium(II) intermediates by intramolecular coordination. In contrast, with bidentate ligands (conditions B), the bidentate complex is proposed to remain intact throughout the catalytic cycle, with C–C bond formation occurring via an outer-sphere mechanism.

Figure 2.

Figure 2

Proposed model for observed diastereodivergence.

This would also explain why substrates bearing heterocycles that are good potential Pd ligands (e.g., pyridines, isoxazoles, and imidazoles) react much more selectively under conditions A than those with heterocycles that are poor ligands for steric or electronic reasons (e.g., quinoline, quinoxaline, and pyrazine). To test this hypothesis, we reacted a series of substrates (3t3zc) bearing electronically diverse 2-pyridyl moieties as well as substituents that cannot coordinate to the Pd center. Based on our mechanistic proposal (Figure 2), we expected that the introduction of electron-donating substituents on the pyridine ring would enhance its coordination capacity, thus leading to high trans selectivity under conditions A. Conversely, electron-withdrawing substituents would weaken the proposed interaction, leading to lower selectivity and/or yield. Under conditions B, we expected no particular influence of the substituents on the diastereoselectivity based on the proposed mechanism. On the other hand, electron-poor pyridines should increase the acidity of the α-proton, thereby increasing the reaction rate. The results (Scheme 3) are in line with our expectations. Substrates bearing relatively electron-rich pyridines were converted to the corresponding β-lactams (6t, 6w, and 6x) in excellent yield and selectivity under conditions A, while at best, poor conversion was observed under conditions B. Conversely, β-lactams 6u, 6v, 6y, and 6z bearing moderately electron-deficient pyridine rings were obtained in good yield under conditions B, while the selectivity (and in some cases the yield) was reduced under conditions A.

To gain further insight into the reaction mechanism, we next performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations at COSMO-ZORA-BLYP/TZ2P18 on the reaction of 3zd (Het = 2-pyridyl, R1 = R2 = Me) using ADF.19 Extensive benchmarking of ZORA-BLYP/TZ2P for oxidative addition to palladium shows that the reactivity trends compare very well with ab initio reference from hierarchical series up until CCSD(T).20 Furthermore, computed trends in reactivity for the studied reactions are the same across multiple level of theories, including when explicit dispersion corrections are applied (COSMO-ZORA-BLYP-D3(BJ)/TZ2P) and when energies are computed at the meta-hybrid level (COSMO-ZORA-M06/TZ2P//COSMO-ZORA-BLYP-D3(BJ)/TZ2P) (see Table S4 in the Supporting Information). An activation strain analysis21 was performed on the computed transition state structures using the PyFrag 2019 program (Figure S3).22

The potential energy surface (PES) in Figure 3 (left) reveals that the reactions involving the monodentate Pd catalyst (conditions A) favor the formation of the trans-β-lactam, which is the experimentally obtained diastereomer (kinetic control).23 The PES in Figure 3 (right) shows that the reactions involving the bidentate Pd catalyst (conditions B) favor the formation of the cis-β-lactam. This is also the experimentally obtained diastereomer (kinetically and thermodynamically favored). The mono-TS-trans is associated with a lower activation barrier than mono-TS-cis (ΔΔG = 4.9 kcal mol–1), supporting the experimentally observed full selectivity for the trans isomer. The activation barrier for mono-TS-cis is higher due to a more destabilizing activation strain caused by a substantially later and more product-like transition state (Figure S3). The bi-TS-cis is associated with a lower barrier than bi-TS-trans (ΔΔG = 3.7 kcal mol–1), again supporting the experimentally observed selectivity. The activation strain in both bi-TS-cis and bi-TS-trans is similar and only differs by 0.4 kcal mol–1. A close hydrogen bond contact (2.22 Å) between the carbonyl oxygen of the amide group and a phenyl group on the bidentate ligand was found in the bi-TS-cis, which was absent in bi-TS-trans (Figure 4).

Stabilizing hydrogen bonding and C–H → π interactions in bi-TS-cis. All nonessential hydrogens are removed for clarity.

An additional stabilizing C–H → π interaction was identified between the methyl on the amide group and the bidentate ligand. These combined effects (likely even more so when the methyl group is replaced by a tert-butyl group) result in a more stabilizing interaction energy (ΔΔEint = –3.8 kcal mol–1) for bi-TS-cis compared to bi-TS-trans and thus a lower activation barrier of the former.

Encouraged by the possibilities to control the relative stereochemistry and to obtain additional insight into the mechanism, we tested a wide variety of chiral mono- and bidentate ligands in an attempt to also control the absolute stereochemistry of the product (see Table S3 for details). Unfortunately, our attempts met with limited success, and only very few ligands gave >50% ee (Table 2). For example, tBuPHOX (L20), which was highly efficient and selective in the intramolecular allylation of very similar substrates to give diketopiperazines,2 gave low ee for both the cis and trans isomers. In this class of ligands, the oxazoline nitrogen is proposed to act as a hemilabile ligand for palladium. In light of our mechanistic considerations, it is perhaps not surprising that L20 gives only low ee: the observed dr suggests it acts as a monodentate ligand, and the oxazoline is likely displaced by the pyridine of the substrate. In fact, our DFT calculations suggest that Pd already coordinates to the pyridine prior to generation of the π-allyl complex, which is the enantiodetermining step. Ligand L21a proved to be more efficient in controlling the absolute stereochemistry (72% ee for the trans isomer), albeit at the expense of the diastereoselectivity. Unfortunately, our attempts to further improve the ee remained fruitless. All chiral bisphosphine ligands appear to follow the bidentate scenario as described above, affording cis-6a as the main product. However, the conversion was very slow, resulting in modest yields even after 1 week of reaction time. (R)-BINAP (L29a) gave the highest ee for the cis isomer, but also in this case, any modifications made to the reaction conditions or the ligand structure proved to be counterproductive.

Finally, to further expand the range of accessible products, we performed some further transformations of the vinyl moiety of trans-6a (Scheme 4). Catalytic hydrogenation smoothly afforded 7 in excellent yield with full retention of the dr. Hydroboration/oxidation furnished 8 in moderate yield as a single diastereomer. Heck reaction with 4-iodotoluene afforded the cross-coupling product 9 without epimerization.

Conclusions

In conclusion, we developed a new ligand-directed stereodivergent synthesis of β-lactams by Pd-catalyzed intramolecular C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond formation. The divergent diastereoselective outcome of the reaction under different conditions is proposed to result from the presence or absence of intramolecular coordination of the Pd(II) π-allyl complex to the heterocyclic moiety. This hypothesis was supported by further studies and DFT calculations. The latter further indicated that the origin of diastereoselectivity in the monodentate scenario primarily results from a difference in activation strain between the two diastereomeric transition states, while a hydrogen bonding interaction in one of the diastereomeric transition states was found to be the origin of the diastereoselectivity in the bidentate scenario. The exceedingly mild reaction conditions tolerate a wide range of functional groups. The accessible product range of our method was further illustrated by various transformations of the vinyl moiety.

  23. In our mechanistic rationalization, we assume that only syn-π-allylpalladium species are involved. Additional DFT calculations do not support the involvement of other potential intermediates such as anti-π-allylpalladium species or O-coordinated palladium enolates (see the Supporting Information for details). For additional evidence that intramolecular Tsuji–Trost reactions can occur with stereospecific formation of a π-allylpalladium intermediate, which does not undergo syn/anti interconversion, see:; Braun J.; Ariëns M.
