From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Baylis–Hillman reaction is an organic reaction of an aldehyde and an α,β-unsaturated electron-withdrawing group catalyzed by a nucleophilic catalyst, such as tertiary amine and phosphine, to give an allylic alcohol.[1][2] This reaction is also known as the Morita–Baylis–Hillman reaction or MBH reaction.[3] It is named for the Japanese chemist Ken-ichi Morita, the British chemist Anthony B. Baylis and the German chemist Melville E. D. Hillman. The Baylis–Hillman reaction, in the present day version, is an atom-economic carbon-carbon bond formation reaction.

In addition to DABCO, additional nucleophilic amines such as DMAP and DBU as well as phosphines have been found to successfully catalyze this reaction.

Several reviews have been written.[4][5][6][7][8]

Reaction mechanism

[edit]

Hoffmann first proposed a mechanism for the MBH reaction. [9] The first reaction step involves 1,4-addition of the catalytic tertiary amine to the activated alkene to generate the zwitterionic aza-enolate. In the second step, this enolate adds to an aldehyde via an aldol addition. The third step involves intramolecular proton shift, which subsequently generates the final MBH adduct and releases the catalyst via E2 or E1cb elimination in the last step. Hill and Isaacs performed kinetic experiments to probe the mechanistic details. [10] The rate of reaction between acrylonitrile and acetaldehyde was first order in concentrations of acrylonitrile, acetaldehyde, and DABCO. Hill and Isaacs proposed that the aldol addition step, which involves all three reactants, thus is the rate determining step. That they did not observe kinetic isotope effect using α-deutrated acrylonitrile also supported this statement.

Scheme 1. Common mechanism of MBH reaction

However, this initial mechanistic proposal had been criticized because of several points. The rate of MBH reaction was accelerated by the build-up of product (autocatalytic effect), which could not be rationalized by the mechanism. Also the formation of a considerable amount of ‘unusual’ dioxanone byproduct in the MBH reaction of aryl aldehydes with acrylates was not expected.

Recently, McQuade et al. and Aggarwal et al. have reevaluated the MBH mechanism using both kinetics and theoretical studies, focusing on the proton-transfer step. [11] [12] According to McQuade, the MBH reaction between methyl acrylate and p-nitrobenzaldehyde is second order relative to the aldehyde and shows a significant kinetic isotope effect at the α-position of the acrylate (5.2 in DMSO). Interestingly, regardless of the solvents the KIE were found to be greater than 2, indicating the relevance of proton abstraction in the rate-determining step. Based on these new data, McQuade proposed a new mechanism, suggesting that the proton transfer step is the RDS. First and second steps are not changed, but after the first aldol addition the second addition of aldehyde occurs to form a hemiacetal alkoxide. Then the rate-determining proton transfer step via six-membered transition state releases the adduct A, which further reacts to produce MBH product B or dioxanone byproduct C. This mechanism accounts for the formation of dioxanone byproduct.

Aggarwal focused on the autocatalytic effect and observed that the catalytic quantities of MBH product or methanol removed this effect. Thus he proposed that at early stage of the reaction non-alcohol catalyzed mechanism, equivalent to McQuade's proposal, operates, while after 20% conversion alcohol-catalyzed mechanism dominates. In this later stage, alcohol R'OH assists the rate-determining proton transfer step via six membered transition state. Aggarwal and Harvey modeled the two pathways using density functional theory calculations and showed that the computed energy profile matches well with the experimental kinetic isotope effect and observed rate of reaction. [13] Also they showed that the overall enthalpic barrier of the alcohol-catalyzed pathway is slightly smaller than that of the non-alcohol-catalyzed pathway, rationalizing that as the alcohol (MBH product) concentration increases the alcohol-catalyzed pathway starts to dominate, exhibiting the autocatalysis.

Scheme 2. McQuade's and Aggarwal's proposals

While McQuade's and Aggarwal's studies are receiving much attention recently, there are a number of issues not resolved yet. First, McQuade's proposal for the role of the intermediate A is not clearly proven. Because A could be formed simply by addition of B to an aldehyde, formation of A and C could be happening outside of the MBH mechanism. McQuade asserts that the rate determining step involves two molecules of aldehyde because the reaction rate is second order in aldehyde, but does not explain why Hill and Isaac observed first order for their substrates. Indeed the enormous variability of substrates for MBH reaction is a constraint for probing the general mechanism of MBH reaction in a unified manner. Also, Aggarwal previously suggested that RDS of the reaction changes from proton transfer to aldol addition over the course of the reaction, based on the fact that primary kinetic isotope effect disappears after 20% conversion,[12] but the subsequent computational studies concluded that the proton transfer step still has the highest barrier in the late stage of reaction. The discrepancy between kinetic and computational results implies that there still are mechanistic aspects of MBH reaction not understood well.

Implications on Asymmetric Catalysis

[edit]

Nonetheless, the Aggarwal model shed light on the asymmetric catalysis of the MBH reaction. It suggested that all four diastereomers of the intermediate alkoxide are formed in the reaction, but only one has the hydrogen-bond donor suitably positioned to allow fast proton transfer, while the other diastereomers revert back to starting materials. These mechanistic studies directed attention to the proton-donor ability (Bronsted acid) of the catalyst. If either the Bronsted acid or the Lewis base could be appropriately positioned on a chiral molecule, the Lewis base would react with the substrate (Michael addition), while the acid in an asymmetric environment would allow the chiral proton transfer. The Bronsted acid remains hydrogen-bonded to the resulting enolate in the enolate-addition step to the aldehyde, and finally ensures efficient proton transfer in the rate-determining proton abstraction step. The action of the Bronsted co-catalysts, which are often employed in MBH reaction, is not limited to a role in proton transfer step. It rather promotes conjugate addition by binding to the zwitterionic enolate, and stabilizing these intermediates.

Scope

[edit]

The MBH reaction in general is any reaction of electron deficient alkenes and sp2 hybridized carbon electrophiles such as aldehydes, ketones and aldimines catalyzed by a nucleophile. Under special reaction conditions the reaction is also found to extend to alkyl halides as the electrophilic reagent.[14] In this variation amine nucleophiles are unsuitable and trialkyl phosphines are used instead. Under the given reaction conditions these phosphines do not react directly with the alkyl halide. The added base in the second step of this reaction promotes the elimination reaction to the enone.

In the aza-Baylis–Hillman reaction the electrophile is an imine.[15]

The Baylis–Hillman adducts and their derivatives have been extensively utilized for the generation of heterocycles and other cyclic frameworks.[16]

Limitations

[edit]

The MBH reaction of phenyl vinyl ketone with benzaldehyde and DABCO in DMF is not limited to the monoadduct because the MBH adduct reacts with a second molecule of phenyl vinyl ketone in a nucleophilic conjugate addition.[17]

Variants

[edit]

Sila-MBH reaction

[edit]

Sila-MBH reaction is a MBH variant that couples -silylated vinyl aryl ketones with aldehydes in the presence of catalytic TTMPP. [18] The zwitterionic enolate, produced upon addition of nucleophilic catalyst to enone, would undergo an addition to the carbonyl group of aldehyde to generate an alkoxide. This alkoxide undergoes a subsequent 1,3-Brook rearrangement and elimination cascade to afford a siloxy-methylene enone and release the catalyst. This reaction allows for the synthesis of syloxy-methylene aryl enones, the class which was unavailable via a traditional MBH reaction. Importantly, this reaction overcomes the double MBH addition problem of aryl vinyl ketones.

Rauhut-Currier reaction

[edit]

Rauhut-Currier reaction is a reaction of activated alkene and a Michael acceptor, not an aldehyde or an imine. It is also called a vinylogous MBH reaction. Because Rauhut-Currier reaction often couple two activated alkenes, there have been problems with selectivity. Intramolecular Rauhut-Currier reaction has been employed by the virtue of improved reactivity and selectivity. For example, Rauhut-Currier cyclization of ,-unsaturated aldehydes can be performed in the presence of proline derivative and acetic acid, affording enantioenriched products. [19]

Tandem reaction / Multicomponent one-pot reaction

[edit]

Multicomponent reaction strategy is attractive for its atom-economical virtue. MBH reaction can be employed for three-component coupling of aldehydes, amines, and activated alkenes to afford aza-MBH adducts. For example, reactions of aryl aldehydes, diphenylphosphinamide, and methyl vinyl ketone, in the presence of TiCl4, PPh3, and triethylamine, give the corresponding aza-MBH adducts. [20]

In addition, activated acetylenes can be added to electrophiles following a Michael addition. Trimethylsilyl iodide as the Michael donor can perform three-component reaction, while tandem cyclization is also possible via Michael attack of a moiety in the MBH electrophile. [21]


Asymmetric MBH reaction

[edit]

Chiral Auxiliary

[edit]

Oppolzer’s sultam can be used as a chiral auxiliary for an asymmetric MBH reaction. When an acrylate substituted with the Oppolzer’s sultam reacted with various aldehydes in the presence of DABCO catalyst, optically pure 1,3-dioxan-4-ones were afforded with cleavage of the auxiliary. The cyclic products could be converted into desired MBH products by use of CSA and methanol. [22]

A related hydrazide auxiliary can also be used for similar DABCO-catalyzed MBH reaction. The chiral acryloylhydrazide can react with aldehydes diastereoselectively. [23] Interestingly, both diastereomers could be obtained from the same reactants by the different choice of solvents (DMSO yielded one diastereomer, while THF/H2O yielded the other one), suggesting that the transition structure conformation is solvent-dependent.

Chiral allenes and imines can be employed for an asymmetric DABCO-catalyzed aza-MBH reaction. [24] Optically active 10-phenylsulfonylisobornyl buta-2,3-dienoate reacts with aryl imine to afford -allenylamine in a diastereoselective manner.

Chiral Lewis base catalyst

[edit]

Chiral tertiary amine catalysts are employed for enantioselective MBH reactions. -ICD is famous among the quinidine framework-based catalysts in this sense. 1,1,1,3,3,3,-hexafluoroisopropyl acrylate as an activated alkene and various aldehydes undergo MBH reaction in the presence of -ICD and DMF as a solvent, affording enantioenriched adducts. The phenolic oxygen of -ICD was shown to be important in the reaction, implying the function of Bronsted acid moiety. [25] -ICD and its related versions are effective catalysts for various other substrates.

Cyclopentenone and various aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes could undergo an asymmetric reaction using Fu’s planar chiral DMAP catalyst in isopropanol. In this case, magnesium iodide as a Lewis acid cocatalyst was required to accelerate the reaction. [26]

Simple diamine molecules can also be employed as MBH catalysts. Methyl vinyl ketone and various substituted benzaldehydes were found to undergo asymmetric MBH reaction. The chiral pyrrolidine catalyst was effective for ortho- and para-substituted electron-deficient benzaldehydes. [27]

Chiral phosphine MBH catalysts often contain Bronsted acid moiety in their chiral backbones, employing a multifunctional strategy. For example, chiral phosphines containing a Lewis base, a Bronsted acid, and an acid-activated Bronsted base were developed for an asymmetric aza-MBH reaction. The Bronsted acid and base moieties were proposed to be involved in the stabilization of zwitterionic species in a stereoselective manner. [28]

BINOL-derived chiral phosphine catalyst is also effective for an asymmetric aza-MBH reaction of N-tosyl imines with activated alkenes such as methyl vinyl ketone and phenyl acrylate. [29]

In addition, a distinct class of chiral phosphine-squaramide molecules could effectively catalyze an intramolecular asymmetric MBH reaction. -formylenones reacted to afford enantioenriched cyclic products at ambient temperature. [30]

Chiral Lewis acid catalyst

[edit]

Chiral Lewis acid catalysts have been given interests as they could activate the electron-withdrawing group in an enantioselective manner. Chiral cationic oxazaborolidinium catalysts were shown to be effective in the three-component coupling of ,-acetylenic esters, aldehydes, and trimethylsilyl iodide. Both enantiomeric products could be obtained by using different enantiomers of the catalyst. [31]

Complex of metal salt and chiral ligand is a viable strategy, too. La(OTf)3 and camphor-derived chiral ligands could induce enantioselectivity in a DABCO-catalyzed MBH reaction of various aldehydes and acrylates. For these cases, multidentate ligands were usually employed to chelate with the metal, which activates both the zwitterionic enolate and the aldehyde. [32]

La(O-iPr)3 and BINOL-derived ligand system, in conjunction with catalytic DABCO, also works for an asymmetric aza-MBH reaction of various N-diphenylphosphinoyl imines and methyl acrylate. Aryl, heteroaryl, and alkenyl imines were all suitable for good yield and enantioselectivity. [33]

Chiral palladium(II) pincer complexes function as Lewis acid in the enantioselective DABCO-catalyzed aza-MBH reaction of acrylonitrile and various tosyl imines to afford functionalized -methylene--aminonitriles. Silver acetate is required to activate the palladium bromide precatalyst in the catalytic cycle. [34]

Chiral Bronsted acid cocatalyst

[edit]

A variety of chiral thiourea catalysts are under investigation for asymmetric MBH reactions. Chiral thiourea and bis(thiourea) catalysts can be effective in DABCO-catalyzed MBH and aza-MBH reactions. [35] [36]

While simple thiourea requires a nucleophilic catalyst in conjunction, bifunctional catalysts such as phosphine-thioureas can be used alone for asymmetric MBH reactions. For example, various acrylates and aromatic aldehydes react in the presence of these catalysts to afford either enantiomeric MBH adducts. [37]

MBH reaction can involve proline derivative as a cocatalyst. It was proposed that imidazole nucleophilic catalyst and proline effect the reaction via iminium intermediate. [38]

With (S)-proline and DABCO, -amido sulfones and ,-unsaturated aldehydes undergo an highly enantioselective aza-MBH reaction. [39]

Applications in Organic Synthesis

[edit]

MBH reactions are widely used in organic synthesis. For example, this reaction performs a key cyclization to construct an intermediate for salinosporamide A synthesis. [40]
