Guidelines for β-Lactam Synthesis: Glycal Protecting Groups Dictate Stereoelectronics and [2+2] Cycloaddition Kinetics

Abstract: The alkene-isocyanate cycloaddition method affords β-lactams from glycals with high regio- and stereoselectivity, but the factors that determine substrate reactivity are poorly understood. Thus, we synthesized a library of 17 electron-rich alkenes (glycals) with varied protecting groups to systematically elucidate the factors that influence their reactivity toward the electron-poor trichloroacetyl isocyanate. The experimentally determined reaction rates exponentially correlate with the computationally determin… Show more

“…Finally, analysis of the reaction transition state reveals distinct mechanisms with respect to glycal conformation, with 4 H 5 conformers proceeding to products via a pseudo-stepwise mechanism (via an entropic intermediate; an intermediate not due to a local energy minimum, but rather requiring a rotation of the trichloroacetyl moiety of the isocyanate away from the glycal face) and 5 H 4 conformers successfully proceeding through a concerted, asynchronous mechanism. Dynamic analysis of these transition states, however, found negligible transmission (nearly 100% recrossing) of products to reactants in the former case, implying that the 5 H 4 concerted mechanism is the dominant reaction mechanism …”

“…Conceptually, glycals adopting a 5 H 4 conformation, unlike the 4 H 5 conformation, possess pyranose ring σ* C–O orbitals oriented at the 3′ and 6’ positions antiperiplanar to the allyloxocarbenium n−π system, allowing the hydroxyl protecting groups to influence negative hyperconjugation (shift in electron density from the ring π system or ring oxygen nonbonding orbital to neighboring σ* orbital) from the allyloxocarbenium system (Figure ). Additionally, the pseudoaxial protecting group orientation of 5 H 4 conformers explains the observed reaction stereoselectivity, as the bulky O -benzyl group on the β-face forces an α approach of the isocyanate toward the alkene . These results, in addition to informing the synthesis of new PAS monomers and preparation of additional polysaccharide mimetics, are relevant for protecting group choices in glycal chemistry.…”
