Allene aziridination generates useful bicyclic methylene aziridine scaffolds that can be flexibly transformed into a range of stereochemically complex and densely functionalized amine-containing stereotriads. The scope of this chemistry has been limited by the poor chemoselectivity that often results when typical dinuclear Rh(II) catalysts are employed with homoallenic carbamates. Herein, Ag(I) catalysts that significantly improve the scope and yield of bicyclic methylene aziridines that can be prepared via allene aziridination are described.

ConspectusThe manipulation of strained rings is a powerful strategy for accessing the valuable chemical frameworks present in natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Aziridines, the smallest N-containing heterocycles, have long served as building blocks for constructing more complex amine-containing scaffolds. Traditionally, the reactivity of typical aziridines has been focused on ring-opening by nucleophiles or the formation of 1,3-dipoles.

The development of new and efficient methodology for the construction of optically active molecules is of great interest in both synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry fields. To this end, the personal account summarizes our studies on the development of electron-deficient alkenes, allenes, and alkynes containing single activator as new dipolarophiles for Pd-catalyzed asymmetric cycloaddition reactions. These new dipolarophiles can participate in Pd-catalyzed asymmetric [3+2] and [4+2] cycloadditions through Pd-π-allyl 1,3- and 1,4-zwitterions in-situ generated by the reaction of Pd(0) catalyst with vinyl aziridines, vinyl epoxides, vinyl cyclopropanes, 4-vinyl-1,3-dioxan-2-ones, and vinyl benzoxazinanones.

An important strategy for the efficient generation of diversity in molecular structures is the utilization of common starting materials in chemodivergent transformations. The most studied solutions for switching the chemoselectivity rely on the catalyst, ligand, additive, solvent, temperature, time, pressure, pH and even small modifications in the substrate. In this review article several processes have been selected such as inter- and intramolecular cyclizations, including carba-, oxa-, thia- and oxazacyclizations promoted mainly by Brønsted or Lewis acids, transition metals and organocatalysts, as well as radical reactions.

Under silver catalysis conditions, using [Tp*Ag] as the catalyst precursor, allenes react with PhI═NTs in the first example of efficient metal-mediated intermolecular nitrene transfer to such substrates. The nature of the substituent at the allene seems crucial for the reaction outcome since arylallenes are converted into azetidine derivatives, whereas methylene aziridines are the products resulting from alkylallenes. Mechanistic studies allow proposing that azetidines are formed through unstable cyclopropylimine intermediates, which further incorporate a second nitrene group, both processes being silver-mediated.

A kinetically controlled radical addition/elimination reaction generating fluorinated allenes was developed. This strategy offers a route to a facile synthesis of diverse trifluoromethyl, difluoromethylene, and perfluoroalkyl functionalized allenes from readily available fluoroalkyl halides and alkynyl aziridines under visible-light irradiation. Density functional theory calculation of this radical clock type of reaction revealed a kinetically controlled C-N bond cleavage overcoming the alternative thermodynamically controlled C-C bond cleavage process.
