Abstract

In our total synthesis of the potent proteasome inhibitor TMC-95A, we reported an efficient Z-selective Mizoroki-Heck reaction to produce a 3-alkylideneoxindole structure. In this paper, we investigated in detail the structural factors influencing this remarkable Z-selectivity using various structurally modified versions of the original substrate.

Key words

palladium - Heck reaction - cyclizations - indoles - peptides

All the substrates described in this paper were prepared by a route similar to that published in ref. 2a.

Typical Procedure (Entry 1, Table 1).
To a solution of (E)-2 (1.43 g, 2.36 mmol) and Et3N
(3.30 mL, 23.6 mmol) in THF (23.6 mL) was added Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3 (495 mg, 0.473 mmol) and NMP (23.6 mL). After being stirred for 5 min, the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and quenched with H2O. The organic phase was separated and washed with H2O, sat. NaHCO3, brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated. The residue was purified with flash column chromatography to give (Z)-3 (1.04 g, 1.98 mmol, E/Z = 1:25, 84%). [α]D 25 -6.81 (c 1.65, MeOH).

Addition of the palladium hydride to (Z)-3 would generate either C6-Pd or C7-Pd species. Isomerization of the olefin geometry is possible through syn-elimination of C6-Pd/C7-H or C7-Pd/C8-H and following reconjugation of the olefin.
