Piperazin-2-one and 1, 4-diazepan-2-one scaffolds are featured in biologically active natural products and pharmaceutical compounds,[1] such as peptidomimetics,[2] compounds with potential to reverse multi-drug resistance in cancer treatments (ardeemins),[3] antibiotics (caprazamicins),[4] sedatives, and tranquilizers (diazepam)[5]. These structures have therefore attracted considerable attention as important pharmacophores in the field of drug discovery. Diverse synthetic methods have been developed for the construction of these N-heterocyclic structures, by means of lactamization, the Mitsunobu reaction, reductive amination, and Ugi reactions.[6, 7] While piperazin-2-ones are homologous with 1, 4-diazepan-2-ones, however, to date no reports on the synthesis of both motifs from the same compound have been reported. To establish a simple and unified method to generate these constructs, we investigated the Lewis acid catalyzed heteroannulation of 2-(prop-2-ynylamino)-acetamide. While there are a number of reports on the 5-exo-dig/6-endo-dig cyclization of this precursor,[8] there are relatively few reporting the control of the competitive 6-exo-dig/7-endo-dig cyclization.[9] To our knowledge, the hydroamidation of terminal alkynes has never been described for the synthesis of 1, 4-diazepan-2-one and piperazin-2-one with control of diastereoselectivity.[10] The palladium-and gold-catalyzed cyclization of substituted alkynylamides has been reported by our research group and several other groups.[11, 12] However, these conditions have not previously been applied to terminal alkynes. Herein, we report the development of highly selective syntheses of 1, 4-diazepan-2-ones or piperazin-2-ones by an intramolecular hydroamidation of 2-(prop-2-ynylamino) acetamides, in which regioselectivity is dependent on the Lewis acid catalyst employed. Initially, we investigated the cyclization of N-Ns alkynylamide (Ns= o-nitrobenzenesulfonyl (nosyl)) 1a with different catalytic systems in 1, 2-dichloroethane (DCE) at 708C and at room temperature (Table1). A catalyst screening revealed that the 6-exo-dig N-cyclized product 2a and the 7-endo-dig N-cyclized product 3a were produced in different ratios depending on the Lewis acids used.[13] Surprisingly, when PtCl2 was used as a catalyst,[14] 3a was obtained in 67% yield with only trace quantities of 2a generated (Table 1, entry 1). In contrast, the reaction using PtCl4 gave 2a as the major product (entry 2). Other platinum catalytic systems tested were not effective at promoting cyclization (entries 3 and 4). When a cationic gold catalyst [15] was employed, 3a was also the major product but lower regioselectivity was obtained compared to that of PtCl2 (entry 5). By using AgNTf2 as a (Tf= CF3SO2) catalyst resulted in low reactivity and selectivity, and by-products were observed (entry 6).[PdACHTUNGTRENNUNG (PhCN) 2Cl2][16] did not promote conversion to the cyclized products at room temperature and only degradation products were observed upon heating (entry 7). When metals considered to be borderline according to the hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB) principle,[17] such as CuI, CuACHTUNGTRENNUNG (OTf) 2, or InACHTUNGTRENNUNG (OTf) 3 were employed, the starting material was recovered in over 80% yield (Table 1, entries 8–10). In sharp contrast, the reaction with BiACHTUNGTRENNUNG (OTf) 3 [18] proceeded slowly at room temperature, and afforded the 6-exocyclized product 2a as a single product in 75% yield [a] Dr. A.-L.
