This addition reaction is one of the oldest isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions (IMCR) and was first described in 1921 by Mario Passerini in Florence, Italy.[1][2] It is typically carried out in aprotic solvents but can also be performed in ionic liquids such as water or Deep Eutectic solvents (DESs).[2] It is a third order reaction; first order in each of the reactants. The Passerini reaction is often used in combinatorial and medicinal chemistry with recent utility in green chemistry and polymer chemistry.[1][3] As isocyanides exhibit high functional group tolerance, chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity, the Passerini reaction has a wide range of synthetic applications.[1][4][5][6]
Mechanism
[edit]The Passerini reaction has been hypothesized to occur through two mechanistic pathways.[4][2][5] The reaction pathways are dependent on the solvent used.
Concerted mechanism
[edit]A concerted mechanism, seen in SN2 and Diels−Alder reactions, is theorized to occur when the Passerini reagents are present at high concentration in aprotic solvents.[4]
This mechanism involves a trimolecular reaction between the isocyanide, carboxylic acid, and carbonyl in a sequence of nucleophilic additions. The reaction proceeds first through an imidate intermediate and then undergoes Mumm rearrangement to afford the Passerini product.[7][8]
As the Mumm rearrangement requires a second carboxylic acid molecule, this mechanism classifies the Passerini reaction as an organocatalytic reaction.[8][9]
Ionic mechanism
[edit]
In polar solvents, such as methanol or water, the carbonyl is protonated before nucleophilic addition of the isocyanide, affording a nitrilium ion intermediate. This is followed by the addition of a carboxylate, acyl group transfer and proton transfer respectively to give the desired Passerini product.[5][2]
Reaction Control
[edit]Molecular weights of polymers synthesized through the Passerini can be controlled through stoichiometric means.[10] For example, polymer chain length and weight can adjusted through isocyanide stoichiometry, and polymer geometry can be influenced through starting reagents.[10][11] To facilitate the Passerini reaction between bulky, sterically-hindered reagents, a vortex fluidic device can be used to induce high shear conditions. These conditions emulate the effects of high temperature and pressure, allowing the Passerini reaction to proceed fairly quickly.[11] The Passerini reaction can also exhibit enantioselectivity. Addition of tert-butyl isocyanide to a wide variety of aldehydes (aromatic, heteroaromatic, olefinic, acetylenic, aliphatic) is achieved using a catalytic system of tetrachloride and a chiral bisphosphoramide which provides good yield and good enantioselectivities.[12] For other types of isocyanides, rate of addition of isocyanide to reaction mixture dictates good yields and high selectivities. [12]
Applications
[edit]Apart from forming α-acyloxy amide products, the Passerini reaction can be used to form heterocycles, polymers, amino acids, and medicinal products.
Heterocycles
[edit]
The original Passerini reaction produces acyclic depsipeptides which are labile in physiological conditions. To increase product stability for medicinal use, post-Passerini cyclization reactions have be used to afford heterocycles such as β-lactams, butenolides, and isocoumarins.[10] To enable these cyclizations, reagents are pre-functionalized with reactive groups (ex. halogens, azides, etc) and used in tandem with other reactions (ex. Passerini-Knoevenagel, Passerini-Dieckmann) to afford heterocyclic products.[10] Compounds like three membered oxirane and aziridine derivatives, four-membered b-lactams, and five-membered tetrasubstituted 4,5-dihydropyrazoles have been produced through this reaction.[6]
Polymers
[edit]
This reaction has also been used for polymerization, monomer formation, and post-polymerization modification.[13][14][15][16][17] The Passerini reaction has also been used to form sequence-defined polymers.[18] Bifunctional substrates can be used to undergo post-polymerization modification or serve as precursors for polymerization.[4][5][3] As this reaction has high functional group tolerance, the polymers created using this reaction are widely diverse with tuneable properties.[13] Macromolecules that have been produced with this reaction include macroamides, macrocyclic depsipeptides, three-component dendrimers and three-armed star branched mesogen core molecules.[6]
Amino Acids & Pharmaceuticals
[edit]Passerini reaction has been employed for the formation of structures like α-amino acids, α-hydroxy-β-amino acids, α-ketoamides, β-ketoamides, α-hydroxyketones and α-aminoxyamides.[6] The Passerini reaction has synthesized α-Acyloxy carboxamides that have demonstrated activity as anti-cancer medications along with functionalized [C60]-fullerenes used in medicinal and plant chemistry.[6][19] This reaction has also been used as a synthetic step in the total synthesis of commercially available pharmaceuticals such as telaprevir (VX-950), an antiviral sold by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and Johnson & Johnson.[6]
