1. Introduction

2. Results and discussion

Enol lactones, such as the derivatives of coumarin, flavonoids, and neoflavonoids, are present in a number of biologically active natural products and have strong biological activity.1,2 Many compounds contain the exocyclic enol lactone substructure3 or endocyclic enol lactone ring.4 A recent report on a tetrameric 4-hydroxycoumarin-derived inhibitor provided a lead example of an HIV integrase inhibitor.5 Coumarin derivatives and related enol lactones were also found to be very efficient non-peptide HIV-1 protease inhibitors.6 In addition, endocyclic enol lactones are also useful intermediates in the synthesis of more complex natural products. Endocyclic enol lactones with optical activity have more potential value with bio-availability such as the alkaloid ()-aspidospermidine.7 However, there are few reports on the synthesis of enol lactone derivatives.8–14 Reports on the synthesis of optically active enol lactone compounds are even more rare; Kanemasa et al. reported on the reaction of dimedone with 1-(2-alkenoyl)-4-bromo-3,5-dimethylpyrazoles catalyzed by catalytic amounts of both DBFOX/Ph-nickel-(II) perchlorate trihydrate and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine to produce the corresponding enol lactones with high enantioselectivities through enantioselective Michael addition followed by cyclization with removal of the pyrazole auxiliary.8 Therefore, to find effective and convenient methods to access optically active enol lactone compounds is of great significance and a major challenge in synthetic organic chemistry. Herein we report one effective synthetic approach to enol lactone systems via Michael addition reaction of dimedone and related 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with a,b-unsaturated N-acylated succinimides, which rarely reported as a Michael receptor, by the catalysis of chiral squaramide organocatalyst.

We first evaluated the reaction between 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (dimendone) 1 and 1-cinnamoylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione 2a. When 5 mol % of squaramide I15 derived from hydroquinine was used, product 3a was obtained in 96% yield and with 66% ee in CH2Cl2 at room temperature for 48 h. For the sake of comparison, N-cinnamoyl pyrazole and N-cinnamoyl oxazolidinone were also examined in this reaction under the same reaction conditions. However, we found that N-cinnamoyl pyrazole as the reactant afforded the product 3a in 21% yield and 94% ee. N-Cinnamoyl oxazolidinone as the reactant did not afford the target product. We found that 2a had better reactivity. Considering the yield, enantioselectivity, and novelty of the Michael acceptor, we chose 1-cinnamoylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione 2a as the reactant. Next, we performed an optimization of the model reaction between 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (dimendone) 1 and 1-cinnamoylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione 2a. A series of chiral squaramide or thiourea catalysts I–VII were investigated in this reaction (Fig. 1). When squaramide I or II derived from hydroquinine was used, product 3a was obtained with similar yield and enantioselectivity (Table 1, entries 1 and 2). Cinchonidine derived squaramide III16 gave a slightly lower enantioselectivity than squaramides I and II. The C2-symmetric squaramide IV17 was also evaluated, but no improved enantioselectivity was observed (Table 1, entry 4). In contrast, the corresponding thiourea V or squaramide VI18 derived from (1S,2S)-cyclohexane-1,2diamine afforded lower enantioselectivity (Table 1, entries 5 and 6). The new squaramide VII19 derived from aminoglucopyranose and hydroquinine was tested, the enantioselectivity was enhanced but with a slightly lower yield (Table 1, entry 8). After screening different catalysts, using squaramide I as a catalyst was found to be the best in terms of enantioselectivity and yield. Therefore, further optimizations were carried out using squaramide I as the catalyst. In order to enhance the enantioselectivity of the desired product, further screening of reaction parameters such as the solvent,

a Reaction conditions: 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione 1 (0.3 mmol) and 1cinnamoylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione 2a (0.2 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (0.5 mL) with 5 mol % catalyst for 36–48 h at room temperature. b Determined by HPLC on a Daicel Chiralpak AD-H column (n-hexane/2-propanol = 90:10, 1.0 mL/min). c Determined by HPLC on a Daicel Chiralpak AD-H column.

catalyst loading, and temperature was investigated. When the reaction was performed in acetonitrile, product 3a was obtained in 88% yield but with low enantioselectivity (40% ee). When toluene was used as the solvent, a significant improvement in the enantioselectivity was realized (Table 2, entry 2). Other solvents such as CHCl3, THF, or ClCH2CH2Cl afforded moderate enantioselectivities. After a brief screening of the solvent, toluene was found to be the best. The enantioselectivity and yield of the product 3a decreased slightly when decreasing the catalyst loading to 2.5 mol %. The yield of product 3a was improved slightly by increasing the catalyst loading to 10 mol % (Table 2, entry 9). Increasing the reaction temperature to 50 °C led to a decrease in the enantioselectivity. The enantioselectivity and yield both drastically decline when lowering the temperature to 10 °C. Hence we selected 10 mol % catalyst loading at room temperature for 48 h, with toluene as the solvent, as the optimum reaction conditions. After optimization of the reaction conditions, the substrate scope for the enantioselective enol lactone synthesis from dimedone 1 with 1-(2-alkenoyl)-pyrrolidine-2,5-dione 2a–j was

explored. The reactions of dimedone 1 (1.5 equiv) with a,b-unsaturated N-acylated succinimide 2a–j afforded 7,7-dimethyl-4,6,7,8tetrahydro-3H-chromene-2,5-dione 3a–j in high yield (up to 97%) and with moderate to high enantioselectivities (up to 88% ee) as shown in Table 3. Electron-withdrawing and electron-rich substituents in the benzene ring of 2 (Table 3, entries 2–6) gave satisfactory results. As the alkyl chain increased in length at the b-substituted position of 2 (Table 3, entries 8–10), the enantioselectivity and yield decreased. The absolute configuration of enol lactones 3a and 3c–j was assigned according to the literature.8 Other Michael donors, such as cyclohexane-1,3-dione 4, 4-hydroxycoumarin 6, 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one 8, and acyclic acetoacetone 10 were also investigated in order to

However, there was no improvement in the corresponding enantioselectivity. Cyclopentane-1,3-dione and cycloheptane-1,3-dione were also examined; these reactions produced a lot of by-products. This phenomenon may be ascribed to the increased ring tension, which means that the target products were not easy to generate. The main products were also unstable. The main product of these corresponding reactions cannot be obtained by column chromatography, which may be due to the enol lactone ring being too easy to open under the catalysis of silica gel. The experimental results indicated that the two methyl groups of 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione play a very important role in the enantioselective process of the reaction. As a comparison, cyclohexane-1,3-dione 4, which lacks the two methyl groups gave lower enantioselectivities (Table 4, entries 1 and 2). The reactions of 6, 8, and 10 with a,b-unsaturated N-acylated succinimide 2 gave the corresponding products 7, 9, and 11 in low to moderate enantioselectivities (Table 4, entries 3–7). The tentative proposed reaction mechanism to explain the enantioselective generation of the final product 3a is shown in Figure 2. Squaramide I activates the 1-cinnamoylpyrrolidine-2,5dione 2a through a double hydrogen bonding interaction, while the dimendone 1 is activated by the tertiary nitrogen of the quinuclidine. The enolate anion attacks the 1-cinnamoylpyrrolidine-2,5dione from the Si-face via transition state A to form the Michael adduct intermediate B. Subsequent intramolecular protonation and tautomerization of B gave enolate transition state C. The final step involved the cyclization of C with the removal of succinimide auxiliary to give enol lactone 3a.

explore the generality of this reaction. The Michael reactions of these donors to acceptors 2 can also be performed successfully, affording the corresponding enol lactones 5, 7, 9, and 11, respectively (Table 4), although the enantioselectivities were not very good in most reactions. As a result, we changed the reaction conditions, such as the temperature, solvents and using other catalysts.

3. Conclusion In conclusion, we have developed a convenient synthesis for a variety of chiral enol lactones through the enantioselective tandem Michael addition/lactonization reaction of various nucleophile precursors to a,b-unsaturated N-acylated succinimides by

the catalysis of a chiral squaramide catalyst, and the corresponding products were obtained in high yield (up to 97%) and with moderate to good enantioselectivity (up to 88% ee). This reaction provides a very simple and valuable method to synthesize enol lactones using 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds as the raw materials.

4. Experimental 4.1. General Unless otherwise noted, commercially available compounds were used without further purification. Column chromatography was carried out with silica gel (200–300 mesh). Melting points were measured with a melting point apparatus without correction. 1 H NMR spectra were recorded with a Varian Mercury-plus 400 MHz spectrometer. Chemical shifts were reported in ppm with the internal TMS signal at 0.0 ppm as a standard. The data are reported as follows: chemical shift (ppm), and multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, m = multiplet or unresolved, br s = broad singlet), coupling constant(s) in Hz, integration assignment. 13C NMR spectra were recorded at 100 MHz. Infrared spectra were obtained with a Perkin Elmer Spectrum One spectrometer. The high resolution MS spectra were obtained with ESI ionization using a Bruker APEX IV FTMS spectrometer. Optical rotations were measured with a WZZ-3 polarimeter at the indicated concentration with units g/100 mL. The enantiomeric excesses were determined by chiral HPLC using an Agilent 1200 LC instrument with a Daicel Chiralpak column AD-H or IB. 4.2. Materials Chiral squaramide catalysts I,15 III,16 IV,17 VI,18 and VII19 were prepared according to the reported procedures. Cyclic diketones, 4-hydroxycoumarin, 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one, and pyrrolidine-2,5-dione were purchased from commercial supplies. The racemic reference compounds were synthesized by the direct treatment of 1-(2-alkenoyl)-pyrrolidine-2,5-dione 2 with 1, 4, 6, 8, or 10 in the presence of triethylamine.

Next, the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature for 48 h. The reaction mixture was then poured into saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate and extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were washed with 30 mL of hydrochloric acid solution (1 M), brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was passed through a flash silica gel column by eluting with dichloromethane to provide analytically pure 2f (3.3 g, 66%). Other unsaturated imide substrates were prepared according to a similar procedure from pyrrolidine-2,5-dione and the corresponding (E)-2-alkenoyl chlorides 4.3.

In a 25 mL round-bottomed flask, 4-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (0.805 g, 5.0 mmol) was added to dimethyl squarate (0.71 g, 5.0 mmol) which was dissolved in 10 mL of methanol.
