  • the diastereopurity of the resulting diol is largely dependent on the geometrical purity of the olefin substrate.
  • Blechert developed the first tandem metathesis-dihyroxylation, employing a variation of Plietker’s oxidation conditions with YbCl 3 (S. Beligny, S. Eibauer, S. Maechling, S. Blechert, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2006, 45, 1900–1903).

  • Plietker s oxidation conditions with CeCl3 were used.
  • the cross-metathesis products led to syn-diol products, due to the stereospecific nature of the ruthenium dihydroxylation.
  • Plietker has developed a chiral auxiliary directed diastereoselective cross-metathesis / dihydroxylation that also leads to syn-diols (N. M.Neisius, B. Plietker, J. Org. Chem. 2008, 73, 3218–3227).

More particularly, the invention relates to C-H activated ruthenium olefin metathesis catalyst compounds and the use of such catalysts in tandem Z-selective cross-metathesis /stereospecific dihydroxylation.
  • the invention provides a method for tandem Z-selective cross-metathesis / stereospecific dihydroxylation, the method comprising: contacting a first olefin reactant with a second olefin reactant in the presence of a C-H activated catalyst under conditions to promote a cross- metathesis reaction to form a cross-metathesis mixture; and contacting the cross-metathesis mixture with an oxidizing agent under conditions to promote a dihydroxylation reaction to form at least one compound comprising a vicinal diol, wherein the vicinal diol has anti stereochemistry.
  • the invention provides an assisted tandem catalysis procedure for the Z-selective cross-metathesis / dihydroxylation of terminal olefins, containing electron withdrawing groups at the allylic position, to yield anti-diols.
  • Ruthenium catalyzes both transformations, and the Z- selectivity observed in the cross-metathesis is translated to anti-selectivity via the stereospecific dihydroxylation.

  • a general structure of catalyst compounds according to the invention is shown below:
  • M is a Group 8 transition metal (e.g., Ru or Os);
  • X 1 is an anionic ligand;
  • L 1 is a neutral two electron ligand, where L 1 may connect with R 2 ;
  • R 1 and R 2 are independently selected from hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, heteroatom-containing hydrocarbyl, substituted heteroatom-containing hydrocarbyl, and functional groups, and wherein R 1 may connect with R 2 and/or L 1 ;
  • Q* is a 2-electron anionic donor bridging moiety (e.g., alkyl, aryl, carboxylate, alkoxy, aryloxy, or sulfonate, etc.);
  • Q is a linker, typically a hydrocarbylene linker, including substituted hydrocarbylene, heteroatom-containing hydrocarbylene, and substituted heteroatom-containing hydrocarbylene linkers, wherein two or more substituents on adjacent atoms within Q may also be linked to form an additional cyclic structure, which may be similarly substituted to provide a fused polycyclic structure of two to about five cyclic groups.
  • Q is often, although again not necessarily, a two-atom linkage or a three-atom linkage;
  • X is an atom selected from C, N, O, S, and P. Since O and S are divalent, n is necessarily zero when X is O or S. Similarly, when X is N or P, then n is 1, and when X is C, then n is 2; and
  • R 3 and R 4 are independently selected from hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, heteroatom- containing hydrocarbyl, and substituted heteroatom-containing, hydrocarbyl (e.g., C 1 -C 20 alkyl, C 2 -C 20 alkenyl, C 2 -C 20 alkynyl, C 5 -C 24 aryl, C 6 -C 24 alkaryl, C 6 -C 24 aralkyl, etc.), substituted hydrocarbyl (e.g., substituted C 1 -C 20 alkyl, C 2 -C 20 alkenyl, C 2 -C 20 alkynyl, C 5 -C 24 aryl, C 6 -C 24 alkaryl, C 6 -C 24 aralkyl, etc.), heteroatom-containing hydrocarbyl (e.g., heteroatom-containing C 1 -C 20 alkyl, C 2 -C 20 alkenyl, C 2 - C 20 alkynyl, C 5 -
  • the invention is directed to a stereoselective synthesis of anti-1,2-diols, developed using a multitasking Ru-catalyst in an assisted tandem catalysis protocol.
  • a cyclometalated ruthenium complex catalyses first a Z-selective cross-metathesis of two terminal olefins followed by a stereospecific dihydroxylation. Both steps are catalyzed by Ru, as the Ru-complex is converted to a dihydroxylation catalyst upon addition of NaIO4 (Scheme 4) and the stereocontrol of the cross-metathesis is translated via high stereospecificity in the dihydroxylation step to diastereoselectivity for the 1,2-anti-diol.
  • Scheme 4 Z-selective catalysts lead to anti-diols
  • the invention provides an assisted tandem catalysis procedure for the Z- selective cross-metathesis / dihydroxylation of terminal olefins to yield anti-diols.

  • Densely functionalized anti-diols with four contiguous heteroatom substituted carbon atoms can be synthesized from simple allyl alcohol and allyl amine derivatives.
  • the behaviour of the in situ generated Ru-based oxidation catalyst was probed with unfunctionalized electron rich alkenes, and these were found to inhibit dihydroxylation.
  • the invention provides a tandem Z-selective metathesis / dihydroxylation reaction, which is effective for substrates containing electron withdrawing groups at the allylic position.
  • a variety of olefins were transformed into valuable highly functionalized and stereodefined molecules. Mechanistic experiments are performed to probe the nature of the oxidation step and catalyst inhibition pathways. These experiments point the way to more broadly applicable tandem catalytic transformations. It has been demonstrated that Z-selective catalysts lead to anti-diols in a catalyst controlled fashion via the Z-olefin.

  • Schem 1 inhitibs the dihydroxylation of cis-butenyldiacetate 3.
  • allyl acetate 1 was subjected to cross-metathesis conditions under static vacuum, and then the reaction mixture was added to a mixture of NaIO4 and CeCl 3 in MeCN:EtOAc:H 2 O (3:3:1).
  • the anti diol 2 was isolated in 60% yield, and spectroscopic data was consistent with literature values (T. K. M. Shing, E. K. W.Tam, V. W.-F. Tai, I. H. F. Chung, Q. Jiang, Chem.– Eur. J. 1996, 2, 50–57), thus confirming the anti-stereochemistry.
  • N-tosyl allyl amine 4 was also a competent substrate, undergoing homodimerization and dihydroxylation to give 5 in 66% yield.
  • cross-metathesis is possible if an excess of one of the alkene partners is used.
  • N-tosyl allyl amine 4 was subjected to cross-metathesis with an excess of allyl butyrate 6 (5 eq).
  • the resulting diol 7 was isolated after dihydroxylation in 63% yield.
  • olefins that lack an electron withdrawing group at the allylic position can undergo Z-selective metathesis, but do not undergo dihydroxylation.
  • terminal olefin 8 was homodimerized and then subjected to oxidation conditions in the presence of diacetate 3. Interestingly, neither olefin is dihydroxylated in this case. Considering that diacetate 3 is a competent dihydroxylation substrate under these conditions, this result indicates that olefin 10 is not only unreactive towards but actually inhibits catalytic dihydroxylation. It was hypothesized that a stable ruthenate ester is formed with olefin 10, thus sequestering the catalytic species.

Le ruthénium catalyse les deux transformations, et la sélectivité Z observée dans la métathèse croisée est traduite en sélectivité anti' par la dihydroxylation stéréospécifique. Il est possible de synthétiser des anti-diols densément fonctionnalisés ayant quatre atomes de carbone à substitution hétéroatome à partir de simples dérivés d'alcool allylique et d'amine allylique.
