Abstract
A flexible synthesis of bifunctional thiourea derivatives based on the TADDOL framework is described. Hydroxy as well as primary, secondary, and tertiary amino-substituted bifunctional hydrogen-bond donors were synthesized.

The α,α,α′,α′-tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanol (TADDOL, 1, Figure [1, ]R3 = aryl, X = Y = OH) framework is one of the most generally utilized structures in catalysis. Since their introduction as privileged ligands for Lewis acid catalyzed asymmetric transformations a large number of derivatives have been synthesized.[ 1 ] However, lately TADDOL itself has been discovered as a highly selective catalyst in hydrogen-bond-mediated reactions.[ 2 ] In this field of organocatalysis, thiourea derivatives have been widely recognized as efficient catalysts for asymmetric transformations.[ 3 ] Just recently, the use of TADDOL-based urea derivatives as chiral selectors in anion recognition was reported by Gherase.[ 4 ] Despite the great impact of both the TADDOL and the thiourea moieties on organic transformations, the fusion of the two catalytically active elements into one scaffold to provide access to hydrogen-bond catalysts has not been reported yet. Inspired by this concept we approached the synthesis of structurally diverging thiourea derivatives based on the TADDOL-framework (Figure [1]).


This can be easily achieved by straightforward modifications at the quaternary carbon atom (R3 = H, alkyl, aryl) and by the introduction of additional functionalities (Figure [1, ]Y = OH, NH2, NHR, NR2). On this platform, ten new thiourea derivatives were synthesized.
Key requirements for the design of catalysts or ligands are easy access and potential for derivatization. These prerequisites are met by the TADDOL-framework since a number of the corresponding amino alcohols or diamines derived from 1 are described in the literature and can be obtained in one to two steps.[ 5 ] Bifunctional[ 6 ] thiourea derivatives are usually obtained from the reaction of primary or secondary amines bearing a second functional group (e.g., amine, hydroxy, phosphine) with isothiocyanate. These bifunctional starting materials can be varied in the substitution pattern at the carbinol/aminyl carbon atom (Figure [1]). The amino alcohol and diamine derivatives 2 and 3 were prepared according to literature procedures[ 5 ] starting from enantiomerically pure TADDOL [(4R,5R)-1, Scheme [1]].
Treatment of 2 and 3 with 3,5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl isothiocyanate (4)[ 7 ] in tetrahydrofuran furnished the novel bifunctional thiourea derivatives 5 and 6 in excellent yields (89% and 80%). The 1H NMR resonances at 10.00 ppm for 5 and 12.62 ppm for 6 indicate the s-cis/trans conformation of the thiourea moieties. Both low-field resonances may arise from internal hydrogen bonding of the thiourea NH to the heteroatom. This conjecture is supported by the crystal structure analysis of 5 (Figure [2a]).[ 8 ]


The solid-state structure exhibits the s-cis/trans conformation of the thiourea moiety. The short distance between H1A and O1 (1.838 Å) is characteristic for an internal hydrogen bond, which has also been identified in solution by 1H NMR spectroscopy (vide supra). The thiourea 5 crystallized from ethyl acetate as solvent adduct. The short distance of O1–O65 (2.779 Å, 3.04 Å sum of van der Waals radii)[ 11 ] specifies an intermolecular hydrogen bond to the ethyl acetate molecule. Since the intramolecular hydrogen bond might have a significant impact on the catalysts’ activity the corresponding more flexible methylenehydroxy 7 and amino compounds 8 were synthesized (Scheme [2]).




The amino alcohol 9 and the diamine 10 were obtained in two steps from the 1,3-dioxolane diester 11 in 87% and 65% yield, respectively.[ 12 ] The amino compounds were treated with isothiocyanate 4 to form the corresponding thiourea derivatives 7 and 8 (89% and 50% yield). In contrast to the TADDOL-derived thiourea compounds 5 and 6 (Scheme [1]) the methylene compounds 7 and 8 (Scheme [2]) revealed enhanced conformational flexibility as concluded from the 1H NMR spectra. Only one NH resonance of the thiourea moiety was observed (7: 10.19 ppm and 8: 6.2–4.8 ppm, broad signal) displaying conformational interchange on NMR timescale. The primary amines 6 and 8 were further converted to secondary or tertiary amines, imines, amides, or heterocycles. This offers a versatile handle for catalyst derivatization and ultimately for structure optimization. Two methodologies for the derivatization of 6 and 8 were investigated: the reductive amination with aldehydes and the condensation with 1,4-diketones to pyrroles. Surprisingly the direct reductive amination of aminothiourea 6 with aldehydes was unsuccessful (data not shown).[ 13 ] However, we overcame this problem initially by condensing the diamine 3 with benzaldehyde (12) in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid resulting in the formation of imine 14 in 71% yield (Scheme [3]).


Subsequent reaction with 4 furnished the previously inaccessible imine 13 in excellent yield (86%). This imine was reduced in 69% yield to the secondary N-benzylamino thiourea 15. As evident from the crystal structure analysis, 15 adopts almost the same conformation as 5 (Figure [2b]) and features an intramolecular hydrogen bond between N8 and H3 (1.956 Å).
As expected from the reduced steric bulk in the α,α′-tetrahydro-1,3-dioxolane diamine framework 10 (Scheme [2]), the reductive amination of 8 was readily achieved in the presence of the thiourea moiety (Scheme [4]).


The reductive amination of 8 with benzaldehyde (12) in the presence of sodium triacetoxyborohydride furnished the secondary amino thiourea derivative 17 under mild reaction conditions in excellent yield (80%). The synthesis of the tertiary amines required harsh reaction conditions. Here, 8 was treated with 16 or 12 and zinc dust in acetic acid. The dimethylamino and the dibenzylamino substituted thiourea derivatives 18 and 19 were isolated in 55% and 85% yield, respectively. Primary amino groups can be transformed to pyrrole derivatives by condensation with 1,4-diketones according to the Paal–Knorr protocol. We used this strategy to shield one half-space of the thiourea moiety.[13b] [14] The condensation of 8 with diketone 20 furnished the pyrrole derivative 21 in excellent yield (Scheme [5]).


As C 2-symmetric bis-thiourea derivatives[ 15 ] have been successfully utilized as organocatalysts in the asymmetric Morita–Baylis–Hillman[ 16 ] (MBH) reaction we synthesized the corresponding tartaric acid derived bis-thiourea 22. The diamine 10 was reacted with two equivalents of 4 furnishing the bis-thiourea 22 in excellent yield (95%, Scheme [6]).


a Yield was determined by gas chromatography with dodecane as internal standard.
b Enantiomeric excess (ee) was determined by HPLC with chiral stationary phase.
To evaluate the potential of the novel thiourea derivatives for asymmetric hydrogen-bond catalysis, the bifunctional structures were subjected to the Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indole. This reaction can be catalyzed by hydrogen-bond donors bearing hydroxy as well as amino functionalities.[ 17 ] The TADDOL-derived hydrogen-bond catalysts 5 and 6 (Table [1]) did not promote the Friedel–Crafts reaction at room temperature, but furnished the product 31 in good yields at slightly elevated temperature (50 °C, Table [1], entries 3 and 4). Other synthesized thiourea derivatives provided the product either in low yield or required higher temperatures. The most efficient catalysts were the tertiary amino-substituted thiourea derivatives 19 and 18 (entries 10 and 11). The product was obtained in 15–43% yield with an enantiomeric excess of 18–27%. In general, the tetraaryl-substituted thiourea derivatives were less efficient in the catalytic reaction and required elevated temperatures. This is in accordance with the observation of the internal hydrogen bonding preventing efficient substrate activation.
In summary, we have developed an efficient access to tartaric acid derived thiourea structures. The flexible synthesis of bifunctional structures bearing hydroxy, amino, and heteroaromatic substituents were demonstrated, which give entry to diverse catalyst structures. The novel bifunctional hydrogen-bond donors were studied in the asymmetric Friedel–Crafts reaction. The tetrahydro-substituted derivatives were active at room temperature but provided the alkylation product with low enantioselectivity. However, the bisalkylated catalyst 18 displayed potential for asymmetric tranformations, and thus straightforward derivatization at the amino group will be the focus of future studies.
1H NMR spectra were recorded on a 400 MHz spectrometer. Chemical shifts are reported in ppm with CHCl3 or DMSO as an internal standard (CHCl3: 7.26 ppm; DMSO: 2.50 ppm). Data are reported as follows: chemical shift, multiplicity (standard abbreviations), coupling constants (Hz), and integration. 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a 100 MHz NMR spectrometer. Chemical shifts are reported in ppm with CHCl3 or DMSO as an internal standard (CHCl3: 77.0 ppm; DMSO: 39.43 ppm). MS: The molecular fragments are quoted as the relation between mass and charge (m/z), and the intensities are percentage value relative to the intensity of the base signal (100%). The abbreviation [M]+ refers to the molecule ion. IR spectra were recorded as KBr pellets or as neat solids (platinum ATR and DRIFT). The deposit of the absorption band was given in wavenumbers (cm–1). Unless otherwise specified, all starting materials, reagents and solvents are commercially available and were used without further purification. Flash column chromatography was carried out on silica gel. Routine monitoring of reactions were performed using silica gel coated aluminum plates (silica gel 60, F254). All reactions involving moisture-sensitive reactants were executed under an argon atmosphere using oven-dried glassware.

Friedel–Crafts Alkylation of Indole (23) with trans-β-Nitrostyrene (24); General Procedure
To a solution of trans-β-nitrostyrene (24; 7.5 mg, 0.05 mmol) and catalyst (see Table [1]; 0.01 mmol, 20 mol%) in CH2Cl2 (50 μL) was added indole (23; 8.8 mg, 75 μmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for the indicated time at the respective temperature (see Table [1]). The mixture was diluted with Et2O (10 mL) and was subjected to flash chromatography. The yield of product 25 was determined by GC analysis with dodecane (11.4 μL, 0.05 mmol) as internal standard. The enantiomeric excess was determined by HPLC analysis. GC (Zebron ZB-5MS) 80 to 280 °C, ramp: 8 °C/min, t R (dodecane) = 10.0 min, t R (product) = 22.5 min; HPLC (Chiralcel-OD) heptane–i-PrOH (70:30); flow rate: 0.75 mL/min, 0.5 μL, 25 °C.
