Definitions
- the present invention relates to bicyclo[2.2.2]octadienes, and in particular to derivatives of 1,6,7,8,9-substituted (5r,7ar)-4,5-dihydro-5,7a-ethenoindol-2(lL7)-one cores (known as the ‘Himbert Diene’).
- the dienes of the present invention are beneficial in that they can be easily isolated and are stereoisomerically pure derivatives of the ‘Himbert Diene’ and they are useful for enantioselective catalysis.
- these ligands have been shown to exhibit high performance in nine types of enantioselective Rh(I)-catalyzed 1,4-addition or 1,2-addition reactions.
- Simple dienes are commonly used as ligands, to stabilise or change the reactivity of transition metal complexes.
- Some diene ligands and their metal complexes are widely available and are used as catalysts, e.g. in processes producing high value fine chemicals.
- low-cost 1,5-cycloctadiene (COD, CAS number 111-78-4) and norbornadiene (nbd, CAS number 121-46-0) are often used in transition metal catalysts.
- COD 1,5-cycloctadiene
- nbd norbornadiene
- Ligands that are able to induce enantioselective catalysis have high value. This applies especially to the pharmaceutical sector, where it is desirable to be able to prepare enantiomerically enriched drug intermediates and enantiomerically pure active agents. It is therefore desirable to be able to provide chiral, single stereoisomer, bicyclic diene ligands that can induce enantioselective catalysis. Various chiral single stereoisomer substituted dienes are known in the art. These diene ligands are valuable ligands, allowing a wide range of enantioselective catalysis in the presence of transition metal salts.
- dienes are known in the art as ‘Himbert Dienes’ .
- Aik simple alkyl
- Ar aryl, mostly Ph
- none of these is isolated as a single stereoisomer, with defined absolute chirality. Instead, the chiral species above have only been prepared as inseparable mixtures of stereoisomers. This renders them unusable in enantioselective catalysis using a single stereoisomer.
- Chiral ‘Himbert Dienes’ that are highly enriched in one stereoisomer are limited to the structural formulae below. However, these are still not completely stereochemically pure single isomers.
- a range of chiral diene ligands are also the subject of previous patent publications: a) US8586810B2; b) JP2015172024A; c) CN111217809B; d) CN101845056B; e) CN100482644C; f) CN105985364B; g) CN106040299B; h) US2013096348A1B; and i) WO2014126068A1.
- the present invention provides the chiral single stereoisomer ‘Himbert Dienes’ of Formula (I): wherein: R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are general independent variables encompassing H, halogen, linear and branched alkyls, substituted amino, ether, aryl, heteroaryl or carbonyl units that are all optionally substituted as necessary; wherein: R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are selected such that chiral ‘Himbert Dienes’ result that are either single stereoisomers themselves; or that if mixtures of stereoisomers result they are separable without recourse to chiral HPLC, enzymatic resolution, or other resolution processes; and whereby: the typically inseparable stereoisomeric mixtures associated with chiral ‘Himbert Dienes’ are avoided.
- the first aspect of the present invention provides a chiral single stereoisomer diene of Formula (I): wherein R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are each substituent groups that are independently selected from H, halogen groups, alkyl groups (which may be linear or branched), alkenyl groups (which may be linear or branched, and may in particular be allyl or methallyl), aryl groups, alkaryl groups, heteroaryl groups, and substituted amino groups, ether groups, or carbonyl groups.
- R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are each substituent groups that are independently selected from H, halogen groups, alkyl groups (which may be linear or branched), alkenyl groups (which may be linear or branched, and may in particular be allyl or methallyl), aryl groups, alkaryl groups, heteroaryl groups, and substituted amino groups, ether groups, or carbonyl groups.
- Each substituent group R may optionally be substituted.
- the product is provided as a single stereoisomer; this may be as a result of the diene being directly produced as a single stereoisomer in the manufacturing method, or it may be that a mixture of stereoisomers results, and these are then separated.
- the stereoisomers are separable without recourse to chiral HPLC, enzymatic resolution, or other resolution processes. It is desired that the separation is achieved using crystallization or standard column chromatography.
- R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are selected such that at least one of these groups includes a stereogenic element. Accordingly, the product of Formula (I) is a chiral ‘Himbert Diene’. In one embodiment, only one of R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 includes a stereogenic element.
- diastereomeric products can be more readily separated than a pair of enantiomeric products, because diastereomers have distinct physical properties.
- This enables the use of conventional and straightforward techniques such as chromatography in the separation of diastereomers.
- Diastereomers are, of course, known in the art as compounds having the same molecular formula but which are non- superimposable non-mirror images of each other. This contrasts with enantiomers which are compounds having the same molecular formula and which are non-superimposable but are mirror images of each other.
- the present invention incorporates a chiral auxiliary into the [4+2] cyclo-addition precursor to give diastereomeric cycloaddition products that have the potential to be readily separated. This is achieved by one of R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 including a stereogenic element.
- the diene of the present invention has a 1,6,7,8,9-substituted (5r,7ar)- 4, 5 -dihydro-5, 7a-ethenoindol-2(127)-one core.
- the diene of the invention can be isolated as a single (of defined absolute chirality) stereoisomer.
- the diene of the invention is obtained as stereoisomers of Formula (I) and then separated completely into near stereoisomer forms.
- the diene of the invention is a chiral ‘Himbert Dienes’ that is provided as a completely stereochemically pure single isomer.
- the diene of the present invention is able to induce enantioselective catalysis (enriched formation of one of two enantiomerically related organic products in a catalytic reaction).

Abstract
The invention provides a chiral single stereoisomer diene of Formula (I) wherein R1, R2, and R3 are each substituent groups that are independently selected from H, halogen groups, alkyl groups (which may be linear or branched), alkenyl groups (which may be linear or branched, and may in particular be allyl or methallyl), aryl groups, alkaryl groups, heteroaryl groups, and substituted amino groups, ether groups, or carbonyl groups; wherein each substituent group R may be optionally substituted; and wherein R1, R2, and R3 are selected such that at least one of these groups includes a stereogenic element. These 1,6,7,8,9-substituted (5r,7ar)-4,5-dihydro-5,7a-ethenoindol-2(1H)-one ligands according to the present invention may be used as ligands for metals in enantioselective catalysis and transition metal complexes of these ligands may in particular be used as catalyst in the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Description
SUBSTITUTED BICYCLIC DIENES
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to bicyclo[2.2.2]octadienes, and in particular to derivatives of 1,6,7,8,9-substituted (5r,7ar)-4,5-dihydro-5,7a-ethenoindol-2(lL7)-one cores (known as the ‘Himbert Diene’).
bicyclo[2.2.2]octa-2,5-diene (5r,7ar)-4,5-dihydro-5,7a-ethenoindol-2(1 H)-one
The dienes of the present invention are beneficial in that they can be easily isolated and are stereoisomerically pure derivatives of the ‘Himbert Diene’ and they are useful for enantioselective catalysis. In particular, these ligands have been shown to exhibit high performance in nine types of enantioselective Rh(I)-catalyzed 1,4-addition or 1,2-addition reactions.
Background to the Invention
Simple dienes are commonly used as ligands, to stabilise or change the reactivity of transition metal complexes. Some diene ligands and their metal complexes are widely available and are used as catalysts, e.g. in processes producing high value fine chemicals. For example, low-cost 1,5-cycloctadiene (COD, CAS number 111-78-4) and norbornadiene (nbd, CAS number 121-46-0) are often used in transition metal catalysts. However, neither of these dienes alone is able to induce enantioselective catalysis, i.e. the enriched formation of one of two enantiomerically related organic products in a catalytic reaction.
Ligands that are able to induce enantioselective catalysis have high value. This applies especially to the pharmaceutical sector, where it is desirable to be able to prepare enantiomerically enriched drug intermediates and enantiomerically pure active agents. It is therefore desirable to be able to provide chiral, single stereoisomer, bicyclic diene ligands that can induce enantioselective catalysis.
Various chiral single stereoisomer substituted dienes are known in the art. These diene ligands are valuable ligands, allowing a wide range of enantioselective catalysis in the presence of transition metal salts.
For example, T. Hayashi, K. Ueyama, N. Tokunaga, K. Yoshida, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003, 125, 11508 describes a chiral single stereoisomer diene ligand of the following formula:
Since this disclosure in 2003, many alternative stereoisomerically pure chiral diene ligand architectures have been disclosed.
Y. Huang, T. Hayashi, Chem. Rev. 2022, 122, 18, 14346 describes many such ligands; the most effective of which have the following general class formulae:
where R is potentially any group and Y any viable heteroatom.
However, synthetic routes to the chiral diene ligands exemplified above are normally stepintensive.
Additionally, attaining the ligands as chiral single stereoisomers normally requires:
(i) the use of expensive chiral HPLC - as in: Y. Otomaru, N. Tokunaga, R. Shintani, T. Hayashi, Org. Lett. 2005, 7, 307; Y. Otomaru, A. Kina, R. Shintani, T. Hayashi, Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 2005, 16, 1673; T. Nishimura, Y. Ichikawa, T. Hayashi, N. Onishi, M. Shiotsuki, T. Masuda, Organometallics 2009, 28, 4890; and T.
Nishimura, H. Kumamoto, M. Nagaosa, T. Hayashi, Chem. Commun. 2009, 5713; or
(ii) time consuming enzymatic kinetic resolutions - as in: X. Q. Feng, H. F. Du, Chin. J. Org. Chem. 2015, 35, 259; Z.-Q. Wang, C.-G. Feng, M.-H. Xu, G.-Q. Lin, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 5336; Y. Luo, A. J. Carnell, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 2750; and C. Shao, H.-J. Yu, N.-Y. Wu, C.-G. Feng, G.-Q. Lin, Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 3820; or
(iii) wasteful resolution of derived rhodium complexes with chiral auxiliaries (rather than the simpler dienes themselves) - as in: N. M. Ankudinov, D. A. Chusov, Y. V. Nelyubina, D. S. Perekalin, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2021, 60, 18712; or
(iv) use of technically demanding catalytic asymmetric reactions to prepare them - as in: T. Hayashi, K. Ueyama, N. Tokunaga, K. Yoshida, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003,
125, 11508; and S. Abele, R. Inauen, D. Spielvogel, C. Moessner, J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 4765; or
(v) the use of chiral pool single stereoisomer starting materials that typically give unequal cost access to the enantiomeric (or pseudoenantiomeric) diene ligands - as in: C. Fischer, C. Defieber, T. Suzuki, E. M. Carreira, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004,
126, 1628; C. Defieber, J.-F. Paquin, S. Serna, E. M. Carreira, Org. Lett. 2004, 6, 3873; and K. Okamoto, T. Hayashi, V. H. Rawal, Org. Lett. 2008, 10, 4387.
G. Himbert and L. Henn in Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1982, 21, 620 were the first describe the single-step (cycloaddition) preparation of a non-chiral diene of the formula:
(5r,7ar)-1 -methyl-4,5-dihydro-5,7a-ethenoindol-2(1 H)-one
These dienes are known in the art as ‘Himbert Dienes’ .

Aik = simple alkyl; Ar = aryl, mostly Ph However, none of these is isolated as a single stereoisomer, with defined absolute chirality. Instead, the chiral species above have only been prepared as inseparable mixtures of stereoisomers. This renders them unusable in enantioselective catalysis using a single stereoisomer. Chiral ‘Himbert Dienes’ that are highly enriched in one stereoisomer are limited to the structural formulae below. However, these are still not completely stereochemically pure single isomers.
5,7a-ethenobenzofuran-2-one core
L. S. Trifonov and A. S. Orahovats in Helv. Chim. Acta 1989, 72, 59-64; and Y. Schmidt, J. K. Lam, H. V. Pham, K. N. Houk, C. D. Vanderwal in J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 7339-7348 used rare chiral allenes to partially control the stereochemistry at position 4. Q. Lin, S. Zheng, L. Chen, J. Wu, J. Li, P. Liu, S. Dong, X. Liu, Q. Peng, X. Feng, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2022, 61, e202203650 achieved a similar outcome, but by use of a chiral catalyst. However, all three derivatives have limited potential for use in enantioselective catalysis, because there is no 7, 6, 8 or 9-substitution of the diene (C=C) bonds.
D. P. Hari, G. Pisella, M. D. Wodrich, A. V. Tsymbal, F. F. Tirani, R. Scopelliti and J. Waser in Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2021, 60, 5475-5481 disclose one example of a chiral single stereoisomer (a 5,7a-ethenobenzofuran-2-one derivative) with methyl substituents at the 7,9-positions. This can be used for asymmetric catalysis of the 1,4-addition of PhB(OH)2 to 2-cyclo-hexenone. However, the diene is not easily isolated into a single stereoisomer; separation of a racemic mixture by chiral HPLC is required and only gave access to a small quantity of the enantiopure chiral diene. There are, therefore, practical limitations to this approach.
A range of chiral diene ligands are also the subject of previous patent publications: a) US8586810B2; b) JP2015172024A; c) CN111217809B; d) CN101845056B; e) CN100482644C; f) CN105985364B; g) CN106040299B; h) US2013096348A1B; and i) WO2014126068A1.
However, none of these documents disclose the 1,6,7,8,9-substituted (5r,7ar)-4,5-dihydro- 5,7a-ethenoindol-2(lH)-one cores according to the present invention.
In general, there remains a need for dienes that can be isolated as a pure single stereoisomer, with defined absolute chirality, such that a single stereoisomer of the diene can be used in enantioselective catalysis.
There remains a need for chiral diene ligands that are straightforward to access and that can be manufactured in a cost-effective manner. There remains a need for chiral diene ligands that can be synthesised on a multi -gram scale, or an even larger scale.
Summary of the Invention
The present invention provides the chiral single stereoisomer ‘Himbert Dienes’ of Formula (I):
wherein: R1, R2, and R3 are general independent variables encompassing H, halogen, linear and branched alkyls, substituted amino, ether, aryl, heteroaryl or carbonyl units that are all optionally substituted as necessary; wherein: R1, R2, and R3 are selected such that chiral ‘Himbert Dienes’ result that are either single stereoisomers themselves; or that if mixtures of stereoisomers result they are separable without recourse to chiral HPLC, enzymatic resolution, or other resolution processes; and whereby: the typically inseparable stereoisomeric mixtures associated with chiral ‘Himbert Dienes’ are avoided.
Specifically, the first aspect of the present invention provides a chiral single stereoisomer diene of Formula (I):
wherein R1, R2, and R3 are each substituent groups that are independently selected from H, halogen groups, alkyl groups (which may be linear or branched), alkenyl groups (which may be linear or branched, and may in particular be allyl or methallyl), aryl groups, alkaryl groups, heteroaryl groups, and substituted amino groups, ether groups, or carbonyl groups.
Each substituent group R may optionally be substituted.
In the present invention, the product is provided as a single stereoisomer; this may be as a result of the diene being directly produced as a single stereoisomer in the manufacturing method, or it may be that a mixture of stereoisomers results, and these are then separated. Preferably, the stereoisomers are separable without recourse to chiral HPLC, enzymatic resolution, or other resolution processes. It is desired that the separation is achieved using crystallization or standard column chromatography.
The skilled reader will understand that in order for the diene to be chiral but readily separable, an additional stereogenic element is required, meaning that the diene is separable as a diastereomer. Thus it is desired that R1, R2, and R3 are selected such that at least one of these groups includes a stereogenic element. Accordingly, the product of Formula (I) is a chiral ‘Himbert Diene’. In one embodiment, only one of R1, R2, and R3 includes a stereogenic element.
In this regard, the skilled reader will appreciate that typically it is possible to obtain more than one stereoisomer of a diene of Formula (I). As used herein, the phrase "chiral single stereoisomer ‘Himbert Dienes implicitly implies an ability to both make Formula (I) as a single stereoisomer and/or to be able to separate the stereoisomers of Formula (I) completely into near stereoisomer forms (called pseudoenantiomers, as defined by S Ricko, J. A. Izzo and K. A. Jorgensen in Chem. Eur. J. 2020, 67, 15727).
The skilled reader will appreciate that a pair of diastereomeric products can be more readily separated than a pair of enantiomeric products, because diastereomers have distinct physical properties. This enables the use of conventional and straightforward techniques such as chromatography in the separation of diastereomers. Diastereomers are, of course, known in the art as compounds having the same molecular formula but which are non- superimposable non-mirror images of each other. This contrasts with enantiomers which
are compounds having the same molecular formula and which are non-superimposable but are mirror images of each other.
The present invention incorporates a chiral auxiliary into the [4+2] cyclo-addition precursor to give diastereomeric cycloaddition products that have the potential to be readily separated. This is achieved by one of R1, R2, and R3 including a stereogenic element.
In one embodiment, the diene of the present invention has a 1,6,7,8,9-substituted (5r,7ar)- 4, 5 -dihydro-5, 7a-ethenoindol-2(127)-one core.
The diene of the invention can be isolated as a single (of defined absolute chirality) stereoisomer. In one embodiment, the diene of the invention is obtained as stereoisomers of Formula (I) and then separated completely into near stereoisomer forms.
In one embodiment, the diene of the invention is a chiral ‘Himbert Dienes’ that is provided as a completely stereochemically pure single isomer.
The diene of the present invention is able to induce enantioselective catalysis (enriched formation of one of two enantiomerically related organic products in a catalytic reaction).
In one embodiment, R1 to R3 are each substituent groups that are independently selected from:
• hydrogen (H),
• halogen (F, Cl, Br, I),
• C1-C12 alkyl,
• allyl or methallyl,
• C5-12 aryl,
• C6-C22 alkaryl,
• C5-12 heteroaryl,
• substituted amino (NH(2-n)Ran, where n = 1 or 2),
• substituted ether (ORa),
• substituted carbonyl derivatives [C(=O)NH(2-n)Ran where n = 1 or 2; or C(=O)ORa; or C(=O)Ra];
wherein each Ra group is independently selected from hydrogen, C1-C12 alkyl, allyl, methallyl, C5-12 aryl, C6-C22 alkaryl, C5-12 heteroaryl; and wherein each R group (R1, R2, R3, Ra) is optionally substituted.
In one embodiment, R1 is a C1-C22 alkyl group and R2 and R3 are selected from H, halogen, linear and branched alkyls, alkaryl, allyl, methallyl, aryl, heteroaryl, and substituted amino, ether, and carbonyl groups (as defined above), wherein each R group is optionally substituted.
In one embodiment, R1 is a C1-C22 alkyl group and R2 and R3 are selected from H, halogen, linear and branched alkyls, aryl, heteroaryl, and substituted amino, ether, and carbonyl groups (as defined above), wherein each R group is optionally substituted.
In one embodiment, R1 is a C1-C22 alkyl group, R2 is C(=O)NH-CHMe-Aryl of either (R) or (.S') absolute stereochemistry, and R3 is selected from H, halogen, linear and branched alkyls, aryl, heteroaryl, alkaryl, allyl, methallyl, and substituted amino, ether, and carbonyl groups (as defined above), wherein each R group is optionally substituted.
In one embodiment, R1 is a C1-C22 alkyl group, R2 is C(=O)NH-CHMe-Aryl of either (R) or (.S') absolute stereochemistry, and R3 is selected from H, halogen, linear and branched alkyls, aryl, heteroaryl, and substituted amino, ether, and carbonyl groups (as defined above), wherein each R group is optionally substituted.
In one embodiment, R1 is a C1-C22 alkyl group, R2 is C(=O)NH-CHMe-Aryl of either (R) or (.S') absolute stereochemistry, and R3 is halogen.
In one embodiment, R1 is an alkyl group C1-C22, R2 is C(=O)NH-CHMe-(l -naphthyl) of either (R) or (.S') absolute stereochemistry and R3 is Br.
In one embodiment, R1 is -CHMe-Aryl of either (R) or (.S') absolute stereochemistry, and R2 and R3 are independently selected from H, halogen, linear and branched alkyls, substituted amino, ether, aryl, heteroaryl and carbonyl groups, which are each optionally substituted. For example, R1 may be -CHMe-(l -naphthyl) of either (R) or (.S') absolute stereochemistry.
In one embodiment, R1, R2, and R3 are selected such that at least one of R2 and R3 includes a stereogenic element. It is believed that connecting the chiral auxiliary through one of the alkenyl positions of the chiral diene framework, where the effect of its stereogenic center would be better expressed, may lead to greater differences in the physical properties of the final diastereomeric ligands, thus increasing the chances of separating them through crystallization or column chromatography.
In general, the chiral single stereoisomers of Formula (I) of the invention will be used as ligands for metals in enantioselective catalysis. Specifically, they can be used as direct replacements for current chiral diene ligands. They may provide improvements over said current hard-to-attain and expensive ligands.
The skilled reader will readily understand that diene ligands and their metal complexes are widely available and are used as catalysts, e.g. in processes producing high value fine chemicals. It is straightforward for the skilled reader to recognise that the claimed dienes can be used in catalysis in essentially the same manner as is conventionally known, e.g. with the ligands being provided in the form of transition metal complexes and with these metal complexes being used in catalysis, e.g. enantioselective catalysis, such as in the manufacture of fine chemicals, agrochemicals or pharmaceuticals.
Use of these ligands in the pharmaceutical sector is foreseen to be a major utilisation of this invention, due to the need to prepare single-enantiomer active pharmaceutical ingredients at scale, using chiral ligand-based catalysis.
The chiral dienes of Formula (I) can, in particular, be used as the ligands in enantioselective Rh(I)-catalyzed reactions.
Thus, in a second aspect of the invention, there is provided a metal complex in which one or more diene ligand according to the first aspect is bound to (coordinated with) a metal ion. The metal may be a transition metal, such as rhodium or copper or ruthenium or palladium.
In a third aspect, there is provided the use of the metal complex according to the second aspect as a catalyst, e.g. in enantioselective catalysis.
In a fourth aspect, there is provided a method of preparing an enantiomerically pure compound, wherein the compound is prepared in the presence of a catalyst which is a metal complex according to the second aspect.
Detailed Description of the Invention
In the compound of Formula (I), R1, R2, and R3 are each substituent groups that are independently selected from H, halogen groups, alkyl groups (which may be linear or branched), alkenyl groups (which may be linear or branched, and may in particular be allyl or methallyl), aryl groups, alkaryl groups, heteroaryl groups, substituted amino groups, ether groups, or carbonyl groups. Each substituent group may be optionally substituted. R1, R2, and R3 are selected such that at least one of these groups includes a stereogenic element. In one embodiment, only one of R1, R2, and R3 includes a stereogenic element.
In one embodiment of the compound of Formula (I), R1, R2, and R3 are independently selected groups that are optionally substituted, wherein each of R1, R2, and R3 are independently selected from hydrogen, halogen (F, Cl, Br, I), C1-C12 alkyl, allyl, methallyl, C5-12 aryl, C6-C22 alkaryl, C5-12 heteroaryl, substituted amino (NH(2-n)Ran, n = 1 or 2), substituted ether (ORa), or substituted carbonyl derivatives [C(=O)NH(2 n)Ran; or C(=O)ORa; or C(=O)Ra]; wherein each Ra is selected from hydrogen, C1-C12 alkyl, allyl, methallyl, C5-12 aryl, C6-C22 alkaryl, and C5-12 heteroaryl.
The halogen group may be selected from F, Cl, Br, and I.
When the alkyl group has three or more carbon atoms, it may be straight chain or branched. In one embodiment, the alkyl group is C1-C12 alkyl.
When the alkenyl group has three or more carbon atoms, it may be straight chain or branched. In one embodiment, the alkenyl group is C2-C12 alkenyl. The alkenyl groups may in particular be allyl or methallyl.
Alkaryl refers to -alkylene-aryl groups, preferably having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkylene moiety and preferably having from 6 to 10 carbon atoms in the aryl moiety. Such alkaryl groups are exemplified by benzyl, a-methylbenzyl, a-methyl naphthyl and the like. In one embodiment, the group is C6-C22 alkaryl.
The aryl group is a carbocyclic group having aromatic character, examples of which include phenyl and naphthyl. The aryl group can, for example, be a five-membered or sixmembered monocyclic ring or may be a bicyclic structure formed from fused five- and sixmembered rings or formed from two fused six-membered rings, or formed from two fused five-membered rings. In one embodiment, the aryl group is a C5-12 aryl. The aryl group can, for example, have from 5 to 10 ring members.
In general, when an aromatic ring system is present in R1, R2, or R3 (or Ra in amino, ether and carbonyl derivatives) this may be a monocyclic ring or may be a fused ring, e.g. resulting from the condensation of multiple benzene rings or resulting from the condensation of benzene and other rings. In one embodiment the fused ring is formed from two or three rings. In one embodiment it is formed from a fused five-membered ring plus six-membered ring, or from two fused six-membered rings, or from two fused fivemembered rings. Examples of fused rings include a pentalene ring, indene ring, naphthalene ring, anthracene ring, azulene ring, biphenylene ring, indacene ring, acenaphthylene ring, fluorene ring, phenalene ring, and a phenanthrene ring.
When a heterocyclic aromatic ring is present in R1, R2, R3 (or Ra in amino, ether and carbonyl derivatives), this includes at least one heteroatom in the ring, e.g. the aromatic ring system includes one or more S, N or O atom within the ring system. The skilled reader will appreciate that the heteroatom(s) replace one or more of the carbon atoms within the ring. In general in the heterocyclic aromatic ring there may suitably be up to four heteroatoms which replace a carbon in the ring, e.g. one, two or three heteroatoms which replace a carbon in the ring. Examples of heterocyclic rings include a pyridine ring, pyrimidine ring, pyrazine ring, pyridazine ring, carbazole ring, indole ring, isoindole ring, indolizine ring, quinoline ring, isoquinoline ring and a purine ring.
As noted above, the group may also be substituted amino (NH(2-njRan, n = 1 or 2), or substituted ether (ORa). If substituted amino or substituted ether groups are used the Ra group may be selected from alkyl, allyl, methallyl, aryl, heteroaryl units; preferably each Ra is selected from hydrogen, C1-C12 alkyl, allyl, methallyl, C5-12 aryl, C6-C22 alkaryl, and C5-12 heteroaryl. For example, Ra may be independently selected from hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, w-propyl, allyl, Ph, a-CHMe-Aryl.
As noted above, the group may also be a substituted carbonyl derivative [C(=O)NH(2-n)Ran; or C(=O)ORa; or C(=O)Ra] . If substituted carbonyl derivatives are used the Ra group may be selected from alkyl, allyl, methallyl, aryl, or heteroaryl units; preferably each Ra is selected from hydrogen, C1-12 alkyl, allyl, methallyl, C5-12 aryl, C6-C22 alkaryl, and C5-12 heteroaryl. For example, Ra may be independently selected from hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, M-propyl, allyl, Ph, a-CHMe-Aryl.
In one embodiment, each of R1, R2, R3 (or Ra in amino, ether and carbonyl derivatives) may be independently selected from hydrogen, bromo, methyl, ethyl, w-propyl, Ph, a-CHMe- Aryl.
It may be that each substituent group (R1, R2, R3 or Ra) is independently substituted with an electron-donating group or an electron-accepting group.
Electron-donating groups can be any functional group capable of donating at least a portion of its electron density into the linear or ring fragment to which it is directly attached, such as by resonance or inductive effects. Exemplary electron-donating groups can be selected from, but are not limited to, one or more of the following groups: alkoxy, thioether, amide, amine, hydroxyl, thiol, acyloxy, aliphatic (e.g., alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl), aryl, or combinations thereof.
Electron-accepting groups can be any functional group capable of accepting electron density from the linear or ring fragment to which it is directly attached, such as by inductive electron withdrawal. Exemplary electron-accepting groups can be selected from, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: aldehyde, ketone, ester, carboxylic acid, acyl, acyl halide, cyano, sulfonate, nitro, nitroso, quaternary amine, pyridinyl (or pyridinyl wherein the nitrogen atom is functionalized with an aliphatic or aryl group), alkyl halide, or combinations thereof.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the chiral single stereoisomer bicyclic diene ligands are selected from dienes of Formula (I-a) and (I-b):
wherein X is a halogen (e.g. F, Cl, Br, or I).
Formulae (I-a) and (I-b) are rendered pseudo-enantiomeric, and thus easily separable, by the presence of the (R)-NH-CHMe(l -naphthyl) unit in both (I-a) and (I-b). It will be recognised by the skilled reader that equivalent formulae to (I-a) and (I-b) can be attained through use of a (S)-NH-CHMe(l -naphthyl) unit as an equivalent presentation of this preferred embodiment. These dienes based on (S)-NH-CHMe(l -naphthyl) are disclosed and claimed.
In a preferred embodiment, therefore, R1 is an alkyl group (w-propyl), R2 is C(=O)NH- CHMe-(l -naphthyl) of either (R) or (.S') absolute stereochemistry and R3 is X where X is a halogen.
It will be recognised by the skilled reader that Formulae (I), (I-a) and (I-b) can be reached through a range of chemistries, including those given in the Examples.
An attraction of this embodiment is that (I-a) and (I-b) are readily separated by low-cost (achiral) chromatography into completely pure pseudo-enantiomeric chiral, single stereoisomer, bicyclic diene ligands. This is technologically simple and greatly facilitates a practical implementation in enantioselective catalysis applications.
Embodiments (I-a) and (I-b) are particularly favoured when X = Br.
In this case, the modification of either stereochemical isomer (I-a) or (I-b), by known processes, allows the preparation of wide-ranging derivatives of Formula (I-c) shown below:
It should be understood that the abbreviated Formula (I-c) captures and represents all of the separated stereochemical pseudo-enantiomeric species available through use of Formulae (I-a) and (I-b).
In one embodiment, R3 is Me, allyl, Ph, 1-naphthyl, 2-MeOC6H4, 3,5-Me2CeH3, or 3,4- (MeO)2C6H3.
In a preferred embodiment, therefore, R1 is an alkyl group (w-propyl), R2 is C(=O)NH- CHMe-( 1-naphthyl) of either (R) or (.S') absolute stereochemistry, and R3 is selected from alkyl, allyl, alkaryl and aryl groups, which are each optionally substituted (e.g., Me, allyl, Ph, 1-naphthyl, 2-MeOC6H4, 3,5-Me2C6H3, or 3,4-(MeO)2C6H3).
Additional preferred embodiments of the invention are dienes selected from those represented by Formulae (I-d) and (I-e):
(I-d) (I-e)
In one embodiment, Aryl is phenyl or 1-naphthyl. In one embodiment, R3 is Br, Me, allyl, Ph, 1-naphthyl, 2-MeOC6H4, 3,5-Me2C6H3, or 3,4-(MeO)2C6H3.
It will be recognised by the skilled reader that equivalent formulae to (I-d) and (I-e) would be attained through use of a (S)-NH-CHMe(Aryl) unit as an equivalent presentation of this preferred embodiment. These dienes based on (S)-NH-CHMe(Aryl) are disclosed and claimed.
In a preferred embodiment, therefore, R1 is an alkyl group (Me), R2 is C(=O)NH-CHMe- Aryl of either (R) or (.S') absolute stereochemistry (e.g. where Aryl is phenyl or 1 -naphthyl),
and R3 is selected from halogen, alkyl, allyl, alkaryl and aryl groups, which are each optionally substituted (e.g. Br, Me, allyl, Ph, 1-naphthyl, 2-MeOC6H4, 3,5-Me2CeH3, or 3,4-(MeO)2C6H3).
Embodiments for Formulae (I-d) and (I-e) are desirable because, in addition to being separable by chromatographic methods, they are also separable by virtue of their different solubilities.
Additional preferred embodiments of
invention are dienes selected from those represented by Formulae (I-f) and (I-g):
In one embodiment, Aryl is phenyl or 1-naphthyl. In one embodiment, R2 is H, Br, Me, allyl, Ph, or 1-naphthyl. In one embodiment, R3 is H, Br, Me, allyl, Ph, or 1-naphthyl.
In one preferred embodiment, the chiral single stereoisomer bicyclic diene is of Formula (I-f), which is completely separable from its pseudo enantiomeric isomer (I-g).
It will be recognised by the skilled reader that equivalent formulae to (I-f) and (I-g) would be attained through use of a (S)-CHMe(Aryl) unit as an equivalent presentation of this preferred embodiment. These dienes based on (S)-CHMe(Aryl) are disclosed and claimed.
In a preferred embodiment, therefore, R1 is an alkaryl group (-CHMe(Aryl), e.g. where Aryl is phenyl or 1-naphthyl) of either (R) or (.S') absolute stereochemistry, R2 is selected from H, halogen, alkyl, allyl, alkaryl and aryl groups, which are each optionally substituted, (e.g. H, Br, Me, allyl, Ph, or 1-naphthyl), and R3 is selected from H, halogen, alkyl, allyl, alkaryl and aryl groups, which are each optionally substituted (e.g. H, Br, Me, allyl, Ph, or 1-naphthyl).
Compounds of Formulae (I-f) and (I-g) are, in preferred cases, separable into chiral single stereoisomer bicyclic dienes.
Alternatively, in symmetrical cases only a single stereoisomer is formed. For example if R2 and R3 are both H and Aryl is 1 -naphthyl, then the diene is of Formula (I-h). naphthyl '"Me
(I-h) where use of (S)-l-(naphthalen-l-yl)ethan-l -amine leads to the enantiomer of (I-h) directly, without separation of any isomer.
The dienes of the present invention can be provided in the form of metal complexes. Thus, one or more diene of the invention is a ligand that is bound to (coordinated with) a metal ion, especially a transition metal ion. The metal may, for example, be rhodium or copper.
Specifically, the dienes of the invention can be used as improved direct replacements for current (hard to attain and expensive) chiral diene ligands.
The metal complex can be used in enantioselective catalysis. Use of the metal-ligand complexes in the pharmaceutical sector is foreseen to be the major utilisation of this invention, due to the need to prepare single enantiomer active pharmaceutical ingredients at scale using chiral ligand-based catalysis. However, the metal complexes are relevant for and useful in the catalysis of any chemical manufacture where enantioselectivity is important, e.g. agrochemicals and fine chemicals, as well as pharmaceuticals.
The disclosure includes, inter alia, the subject matter of the following clauses:
1. chiral single stereoisomer ‘Himbert Dienes’ of Formula (I):

The invention will be further illustrated by the following non-limiting examples.
An oven-dried round bottom flask was charged with but-3-ynoic acid (8.93 g, 106.3 mmol) and CH2CI2 (80 mb) under argon. The solution was cooled to 0-5 °C, oxalyl chloride (8.75 mb, 102 mmol) and DMF (0.2 mb) were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 h. The resulting acid chloride solution was transferred via syringe [using CH2CI2 (2x 15 mL) to rinse] to a cooled (0-5 °C) biphasic mixture of amide 3 (34.96 g, 85.0 mmol) in CH2CI2 (80 mL) and saturated aqueous NaHCCL solution (80 mL), and reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The organic layer was separated, dried (Na2SC>4), and concentrated in vacuo to leave the corresponding alkyne as an off-white foam.
An oven-dried round bottom flask was charged with the crude material from the previous reaction, K2CO3 (5.87 g, 42.5 mmol), and toluene (800 mL), and the mixture was heated at 130 °C for 15 h. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved CHCL (400 mL) and the solution was washed with H2O (100 mL) and brine (100 mL), dried (Na2SC>4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the residue by column chromatography (20% EtOAc/petrol to EtOAc) gave diene (I-a) (13.38 g, 33%) as a pale yellow solid and diene (I-b) (13.46 g, 33%) as a pale-yellow solid.

Reaction of ligands to form coordination complexes with metals. a) Rhodium complex
Reaction of diene 8a (I-c R3 = Me) with [Rh(C2H4)2Cl]2 in CH2CI2 at room temperature for 3 h produced the dimeric Rh(I)-diene complex [Rh(8a)Cl]2 in 80% yield. In a similar manner, [Rh(8b)Cl]2 was prepared in 82% yield. b) Copper complex
A solution of CuCl (10.9 mg, 0.1 1 mmol) and chiral Himbert diene (52.5 mg, 0.1 mmol) in CH2CI2 was stirred at 40 °C for 3 h. The precipitate was filtered and washed with cold EtOAc to give the target Cu complex as a yellow solid (42.9 mg, 78.3%). Slow diffusion of cyclohexane into a solution of the Cu complex in chloroform gave crystals that were suitable for X-ray crystallography. This material was found to be a coordination polymer, in which the coordination sphere of copper is completed by coordination to the carbonyl group of the lactam of another molecule of the diene. There is also one chloroform molecule included as a solvent of recrystallisation.

[c] Determined HPLC analysis on a chiral stationary phase.
In almost all cases (entries 2-8 and 11-17), the product 17 was obtained in excellent yields and high enantioselectivities (>97% ee). Only the reactions using the alkenyl bromides 7a and 7b (entries 1 and 10) and phenyl-ester-substituted dienes 15a and 15b (entries 9 and 18) gave somewhat inferior (but still satisfactory) results.
Comparison of the results using ligands 7a-15a (entries 1-9) with their diastereomeric counterparts 7b-15b (entries 10-18) showed that there was only a marginal mismatch of the individual stereochemical elements within the ligands in favor of 7b-15b, which gave slightly higher enantioselectivities. In other words, the ligands according to the invention can be used to effectively control the stereochemistry of the product in the catalysed reaction.
Example 12 Enantioselective Rh(I)-catalyzed nucleophilic additions of organoboron reagents
A number of reactions were carried out involving nucleophilic additions of organoboron reagents, to assess the effectiveness of metal complexes of the diene ligands in catalysis of the reaction.

Good results were obtained using ligands 8a and 8b, but the allyl-substituted ligands 9a and 9b were superior, giving 19 in higher yields and 95% and 97% ee, respectively. These enantioselectivities are higher than those reported previously for all other processes catalyzed by either Rh(I) or Pd(II).
With dienes 8a and 8b, good results were also observed in enantioselective 1,4-additions of arylboronic acids to unsaturated amide 20 using Sc(OTf)3 as an additive, nitroalkene 22, and 2-alkenylquinoxaline 24 which gave the corresponding products 21, 23, and 25 in reasonable to good yields and high enantioselectivities (93->99% ee).
In the case of alkenylquinoxazoline 24, the 1-naphthyl-substituted Himbert dienes Ila and 11b gave comparable results to dienes 8a and 8b. Comparison of these results with the highest enantioselectivities reported previously for products 19 (90% ee), 21 (99% ee), 23 (99% ee), and products similar to 25 (90-97% ee) demonstrates the new chiral Himbert dienes are competitive with existing best-in-class chiral ligands for asymmetric Rh(I)- catalyzed 1,4-arylations.

4-methylphenylboronic acid reacted with 7V-tosylimine 26 to give 27 in high enantioselectivities using dienes 8a, 8b, 10a, or 10b.
Nucleophilic additions of a potassium alkenyltrifluoroborate and potassium allyltrifluoroborate to cyclic imine 28b, respectively, were also successful when using dienes 8a and 8b, to give products 29 and 30 in 89-97% ee.
Comparison of these results with the highest enantioselectivities reported previously for product 27 (99% ee), a product similar to 29 (chloride instead of bromide; 97% ee), and product 30 (94% ee) indicates the new ligands are competitive with existing best-in-class chiral dienes for asymmetric Rh(I)-catalyzed 1,2-additions of organoboron reagents.
Example 14
Catalytic enantioselective allenylation of imines using a trimethylsilyl-substituted propargylboron reagent.
2.0 mol% of chiral rhodium complexes [Rh(8a)Cl]2 or [Rh(8b)Cl]2 catalyzed the addition of propargyl boronate 31 to a variety of cyclic imines 28 in the presence of KOH (0.05 equiv) and MeOH (2.5 equiv) in l,4-dioxane/H2O (60: 1) at 60 °C for 6 h.
Benzoxathiazine-2,2-dioxides with a range of substituents (including bromo, chloro, methyl, dioxole, or methoxy) at various positions reacted successfully to give allenylation products32a-32g in 37-82% yield and 92-97% ee.
[Rh(8b)Cl]2 also catalyzed the addition of 31 to cyclic ketimines such as a 1,2,5- thiadiazolidine- 1 , 1 -dioxide and a benzoisothiazole 1, 1- ee), the propargylation product 33a was also isolated in 19% yield but interestingly, with a much lower enantiomeric excess (16% ee).
The allenylation of 28a with 31 was also conducted using (S,S)-Ph-bod*, a commercially available (but expensive) chiral diene that has been shown to be highly effective in a range of enantioselective Rh(I)-catalyzed reactions, including 1,2-additions to imines. This reaction gave (R)-32a in 43% yield and 84% ee, with an allenylation to propargylation ratio of 2.8: 1, which shows that chiral Himbert dienes 8a and 8b provide better results than (S,S)-Ph-bod* in this transformation.

[a] Reactions were conducted with 0.25 mmol of 28. The stated yields are of isolated allenylation products 32. The ratios of 32 to 33 were determined by
NMR analysis of the unpurified reaction mixtures. Except for 33a, propargylation products 33 were not isolated. The absolute configuration of 33a was not determined. Enantiomeric excesses were determined by HPLC analysis on a chiral stationary phase.

Conclusion
It has been shown that chiral Himbert dienes of Formula (I) are easily prepared by the intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition of an allenecarboxamide and these dienes are excellent chiral ligands for a range of enantioselective Rh(I)-catalyzed reactions, including hitherto undescribed allenylations of cyclic imines.
Although many different types of chiral diene ligands have been reported previously, some of which exhibit high catalytic activity and enantioselectivities across several types of reactions, there are several features of these new chiral Himbert dienes that make them advantageous:
(i) their synthesis can be conducted straightforwardly on multigram scales without recourse to more specialized techniques such as enzymatic resolution, preparative chiral HPLC, or the use of catalytic asymmetric reactions;
(ii) both pseudo enantiomeric series of the ligands can be readily accessed, which is not always the case for known chiral dienes that are prepared from chiral pool starting materials; and
(iii) the synthesis proceeds through intermediates that can be modified at the final stage by cross-coupling to give diverse chiral dienes for fine-tuning of catalytic performance, which may be important for particularly challenging transformations.
The extent to which all three features are manifested in these new chiral Himbert dienes of Formula (I) makes them particularly attractive for use in asymmetric catalysis.
