  • Patent number: 9994595
    Abstract: Described herein is the fusion of two families of unique carbon-containing molecules that readily disregard the tendency of carbon to form four chemical bonds, namely N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and carborane anions. Deprotonation of an anionic imidazolium salt with lithium diisopropylamide at room temperature leads to a mixture of lithium complexes of C-2 and C-5 dianionic NHC constitutional isomers as well as a trianionic (C-2, C-5) adduct. Judicious choice of the base and reaction conditions allows for the selective formation of all three stable polyanionic carbenes. In solution, the so-called abnormal C-5 NHC lithium complex slowly isomerizes to the normal C-2 NHC, and the process can be proton catalyzed by the addition of the anionic imidazolium salt. These results indicate that the combination of two unusual forms of carbon atoms can lead to unexpected chemical behavior, and that this strategy paves the way for the development of a broad new generation of NHC ligands for catalysis.

  • Patent number: 9994602
    Abstract: We claim a simple strategy for the synthesis of a collection of C(3?)-spirodihydroisobenzo-furannulated and C(3?)-spirodihydroisobenzo-furannulated nucleosides featuring a [2+2+2]-cyclotrimerization as the key reaction. The cyclotrimerization reactions are facile with the unprotected nucleosides having a diyne unit. When both alkynes of the diyne are terminal, the regioselectivity is poor. However, when one of the terminal alkynes is additionally substituted, the cyclotrimerizations are highly diastereoselective. Since the key bicycloannulation is the final step, this strategy provides flexibility in terms of the alkynes and is thus amenable for the synthesis of a focussed small molecule library.
