- Enantioselective hydrogenation of α-dehydroamino acid esters catalyzed by rhodium complexes with chiral bisaminophosphine ligands
-
A highly efficient strategy for the synthesis of a series of chiral bisaminophosphine ligands was well established with several remarkable features. The synthetic utility of these ligands was explored for rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations of α-d

- Stereospecific deoxygenation of phosphine oxides with retention of configuration using triphenylphosphine or triethyl phosphite as an oxygen acceptor
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A new protocol for deoxygenation of various phosphine oxides with retention of configuration is described. The advantage of the new method includes milder conditions and considerably shortened reaction times. Mechanistic studies about the oxygen transfer between the starting phosphine oxide and the sacrificial triphenylphosphine are also presented.

- Carbohydrate Phosphinites as Practical Ligands in Asymmetric Catalysis: Electronic Effects and Dependence of Backbone Chirality in Rh-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenations. Synthesis of R- or S-Amino Acids Using Natural Sugars as Ligand Precursors
-
Vicinal diarylphosphinites derived from carbohydrates are excellent ligands for the Rh(I)-catalyzed enantioselective asymmetric hydrogenation of dehydroamino acid derivatives, producing the highest enantioselectivity of any ligands directly prepared from natural products. The enantioselectivity can be enhanced by the appropriate choice of substituents on the aromatic rings of the phosphinites. For example, the use of phosphinites with electron-donating bis(3,5-dimethylphenyl) groups on phosphorus provides ee's up to 99% for a wide range of amino acids including some with easily removable N-protecting groups. Electron-withdrawing aryl substituents, on the other hand, decrease the enantioselectivity. Sense of chiral induction in the amino acid product depends on the relative juxtaposition of the vicinal diphosphinites on a given sugar backbone. When readily available D-glucopyranosides are used as the starting sugars, 2,3-phosphinites give the S-amino acids and 3,4-phosphinites give the R-amino acids. In the case of aromatic and heteroaromatic amino acids, enantioselectivities > 95% are consistently obtained. Practical considerations such as the ease of ligand synthesis, rates of reactions, catalyst turnover, and scope and limitations in terms of substrates are discussed. A possible explanation for the enhancement of enantioselectivity by electron-rich phosphinites is offered.

- Ligand Electronic Effects in Asymmetric Catalysis: Enhanced Enantioselectivity in the Asymmetric Hydrocyanation of Vinylarenes
-
The enantioselectivity of the nickel-catalyzed, asymmetric hydrocyanation of vinylarenes using glucosederived, chiral phosphinite ligands, L, increases dramatically when the ligands contain electron-withdrawing P-aryl substituents.The substrate and solvent also strongly influence the enantioselectivity, with the highest ee's (85-91percent for 6-methoxy-2-vinylnaphthalene (MVN)) obtained for the hydrocyanation of electron-rich vinylarenes in a nonpolar solvent such as hexane.Mechanistic studies suggest the catalytic cycle consists of an initial HCN oxidative addition or vinylarene coordination to "NiL", followed by insertion to form an (η3-benzyl)nickel cyanide complex, and irreversible reductive elimination of the nitrile.A kinetic analysis of the NiLa(COD) (La, P-aryl=3,5-(CF3)2C6H3) catalyzed hydrocyanation of MVN indicates that as the HCN concentration is increased the catalyst resting state shifts from NiLa(COD) to a complex containing both MVN and HCN, presumably the (η3-benzyl)nickel cyanide intermediate NiLa(η3-CH3CHC10H6OCH3)CN.A 31P NMR analysis of the intermediate NiLa(MVN) shows little ground state differentiation of the MVN enantiofaces and suggests that the enantioselectivity is determined later in the mechanism.Deuterium labeling studies suggest that electron-withdrawing P-aryl substituents increase the rate of reductive elimination of the product nitrile from the (η3-benzyl)nickel cyanide intermediate and, on this basis, a rationale for the ligand electronic effect is proposed.
