- Practical access to (S)-heterocyclic aromatic acetates via CAL-B/Na2CO3-deacylation and Mitsunobu reaction protocol
-
Herein, we report the preparation of enantiomerically pure forms of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-ol (1), chroman-4-ol (2), thiochroman-4-ol (3), 1-(furan-2-yl) ethanol (5) and 1-(thiophen-2-yl) ethanol (6), through a kinetic resolution catalysed by Candida antarctica lipase B/Na2CO3 hydrolysis sequence in organic media. The (R)-furnished alcohols and the (S)-remained acetates are recovered enantiopures (ee?>99%, E???200, Conv = 50%). Those ideal enzymatic kinetic resolution (EKRs) are well incorporated to the Mitsunobu inversion protocol in a one pot procedure to give (S)-heterocyclic acetates (1a–3a) in good to high enantiomeric excess (88%–92% ee). Whilst, the (S)-heteroaromatic acetates (5a and 6a) are given with moderate enantiomeric excess (51%–62% ee). All the (S)-acetates are given in good isolated chemical yields (>80%) allowing to overcome the maximum of 50% yield which could be usually reached in a regular kinetic resolution processes.

- Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Alcohols by Enantioselective Silylation Enabled by Two Orthogonal Transition-Metal Catalysts
-
A nonenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of acyclic and cyclic benzylic alcohols is reported. The approach merges rapid transition-metal-catalyzed alcohol racemization and enantioselective Cu-H-catalyzed dehydrogenative Si-O coupling of alcohols and hydrosilanes. The catalytic processes are orthogonal, and the racemization catalyst does not promote any background reactions such as the racemization of the silyl ether and its unselective formation. Often-used ruthenium half-sandwich complexes are not suitable but a bifunctional ruthenium pincer complex perfectly fulfills this purpose. By this, enantioselective silylation of racemic alcohol mixtures is achieved in high yields and with good levels of enantioselection.

- Phase Separation-Promoted Redox Deracemization of Secondary Alcohols over a Supported Dual Catalysts System
-
Unification of oxidation and reduction in a one-pot deracemization process has great significance in the preparation of enantioenriched organic molecules. However, the intrinsic mutual deactivation of oxidative and reductive catalysts and the extrinsic incompatible reaction conditions are unavoidable challenges in a single operation. To address these two issues, we develop a supported dual catalysts system to overcome these conflicts from incompatibility to compatibility, resulting in an efficient one-pot redox deracemization of secondary alcohols. During this transformation, the TEMPO species onto the outer surface of silica nanoparticles catalyze the oxidation of racemic alcohols to ketones, and the chiral Rh/diamine species in the nanochannels of the thermoresponsive polymer-coated hollow-shell mesoporous silica enable the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones to chiral alcohols. To demonstrate the general feasibility, a series of orthogonal oxidation/ATH cascade reactions are compared to prove the compatible benefits in the elimination of their deactivations and the balance of the cascade directionality. As presented in this study, this redox deracemization process provides various chiral alcohols with enhanced yields and enantioselectivities relative to those from unsupported dual catalysts systems. Furthermore, the dual catalysts can be recycled continuously, making them an attractive feature in the application.

- Highly Active Cooperative Lewis Acid—Ammonium Salt Catalyst for the Enantioselective Hydroboration of Ketones
-
Enantiopure secondary alcohols are fundamental high-value synthetic building blocks. One of the most attractive ways to get access to this compound class is the catalytic hydroboration. We describe a new concept for this reaction type that allowed for exceptional catalytic turnover numbers (up to 15 400), which were increased by around 1.5–3 orders of magnitude compared to the most active catalysts previously reported. In our concept an aprotic ammonium halide moiety cooperates with an oxophilic Lewis acid within the same catalyst molecule. Control experiments reveal that both catalytic centers are essential for the observed activity. Kinetic, spectroscopic and computational studies show that the hydride transfer is rate limiting and proceeds via a concerted mechanism, in which hydride at Boron is continuously displaced by iodide, reminiscent to an SN2 reaction. The catalyst, which is accessible in high yields in few steps, was found to be stable during catalysis, readily recyclable and could be reused 10 times still efficiently working.

- Amino Acid-Functionalized Metal-Organic Frameworks for Asymmetric Base–Metal Catalysis
-
We report a strategy to develop heterogeneous single-site enantioselective catalysts based on naturally occurring amino acids and earth-abundant metals for eco-friendly asymmetric catalysis. The grafting of amino acids within the pores of a metal-organic framework (MOF), followed by post-synthetic metalation with iron precursor, affords highly active and enantioselective (>99 % ee for 10 examples) catalysts for hydrosilylation and hydroboration of carbonyl compounds. Impressively, the MOF-Fe catalyst displayed high turnover numbers of up to 10 000 and was recycled and reused more than 15 times without diminishing the enantioselectivity. MOF-Fe displayed much higher activity and enantioselectivity than its homogeneous control catalyst, likely due to the formation of robust single-site catalyst in the MOF through site-isolation.

- Arene-Immobilized Ru(II)/TsDPEN Complexes: Synthesis and Applications to the Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones
-
The Noyori-Ikariya (arene)Ru(II)/TsDPEN precatalyst has been anchored to amorphous silica and DAVISIL through the η6-coordinated arene ligand via a straightforward synthesis and the derived systems, (arene)Ru(II)/TsDPEN@silica and (arene)Ru(II)/TsDPEN@DAVISIL, form highly efficient catalysts for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of a range of electron-rich and electron-poor aromatic ketones, giving good conversion and excellent ee's under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, catalyst generated in situ immediately prior to addition of substrate and hydrogen donor, by reaction of silica-supported [(arene)RuCl2]2 with (S,S)-TsDPEN, was as efficient as that generated from its preformed counterpart [(arene)Ru{(S,S)-TsDPEN}Cl]@silica. Gratifyingly, the initial TOFs (up to 1085 h?1) and ee's (96–97 %) obtained with these catalysts either rivalled or outperformed those previously reported for catalysts supported by either silica or polymer immobilized through one of the nitrogen atoms of TsDPEN. While the high ee's were also maintained during recycle studies, the conversion dropped steadily over the first three runs due to gradual leaching of the ruthenium.

- Chiral Iron(II)-Catalysts within Valinol-Grafted Metal-Organic Frameworks for Enantioselective Reduction of Ketones
-
The development of highly efficient and enantioselective heterogeneous catalysts based on earth-abundant elements and inexpensive chiral ligands is essential for environment-friendly and economical production of optically active compounds. We report a strategy of synthesizing chiral amino alcohol-functionalized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to afford highly enantioselective single-site base-metal catalysts for asymmetric organic transformations. The chiral MOFs (vol-UiO) were prepared by grafting of chiral amino alcohol such as l-valinol within the pores of aldehyde-functionalized UiO-MOFs via formation of imine linkages. The metalation of vol-UiO with FeCl2 in THF gives amino alcohol coordinated octahedral FeII species of vol-FeCl(THF)3 within the MOFs as determined by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Upon activation with LiCH2SiMe3, vol-UiO-Fe catalyzed hydrosilylation and hydroboration of a range of aliphatic and aromatic carbonyls to afford the corresponding chiral alcohols with enantiomeric excesses up to 99%. Vol-UiO-Fe catalysts have high turnover numbers of up to 15 ?000 and could be reused at least 10 times without any loss of activity and enantioselectivity. The spectroscopic, kinetic, and computational studies suggest iron-hydride as the catalytic species, which undergoes enantioselective 1,2-insertion of carbonyl to give an iron-alkoxide intermediate. The subsequent σ-bond metathesis between Fe-O bond and Si-H bond of silane produces chiral silyl ether. This work highlights the importance of MOFs as the tunable molecular material for designing chiral solid catalysts based on inexpensive natural feedstocks such as chiral amino acids and base-metals for asymmetric organic transformations.

- An Enantioconvergent Benzylic Hydroxylation Using a Chiral Aryl Iodide in a Dual Activation Mode
-
The application of a triazole-substituted chiral iodoarene in a direct enantioselective hydroxylation of alkyl arenes is reported. This method allows the rapid synthesis of chiral benzyl alcohols in high yields and stereocontrol, despite its nontemplated nature. In a cascade activation consisting of an initial irradiation-induced radical C-H-bromination and a consecutive enantioconvergent hydroxylation, the iodoarene catalyst has a dual role. It initiates the radical bromination in its oxidized state through an in-situ-formed bromoiodane and in the second, Cu-catalyzed step, it acts as a chiral ligand. This work demonstrates the ability of a chiral aryl iodide catalyst acting both as an oxidant and as a chiral ligand in a highly enantioselective C-H-activating transformation. Furthermore, this concept presents an enantioconvergent hydroxylation with high selectivity using a synthetic catalyst.

- Assessment of headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) for control of asymmetric bioreduction of ketones by Alternaria alternata
-
The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) compared to liquid–liquid extractions using with methylene chloride (CH2Cl2) for control of fungal biotransformation of ketones of varying volatility. The proposed method was successfully applied. The best way to extract all the components of the mixture (alcohols, aldehydes) in quantities similar to the extraction of methylene chloride was the use of fibres coated with a combination of nonpolar material. SPME fibre assembly polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) was most suitable for the extraction of the products mixture obtained after biotransformation of acetylcyclohexane and acetophenone. On the other hand, the best results were obtained for 2-acetylthiophene, α,α,α-trifluoroacetophenone and their derivatives using divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS) fibre. In addition, our study showed that Alternaria alternata is a good biocatalyst for bioreduction of ketones to alcohols according to Prelog's rule.

- Efficient asymmetric synthesis of chiral alcohols using high 2-propanol tolerance alcohol dehydrogenase: Sm ADH2 via an environmentally friendly TBCR system
-
Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) together with the economical substrate-coupled cofactor regeneration system play a pivotal role in the asymmetric synthesis of chiral alcohols; however, severe challenges concerning the poor tolerance of enzymes to 2-propanol and the adverse effects of the by-product, acetone, limit its applications, causing this strategy to lapse. Herein, a novel ADH gene smadh2 was identified from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia by traditional genome mining technology. The gene was cloned into Escherichia coli cells and then expressed to yield SmADH2. SmADH2 has a broad substrate spectrum and exhibits excellent tolerance and superb activity to 2-propanol even at 10.5 M (80%, v/v) concentration. Moreover, a new thermostatic bubble column reactor (TBCR) system is successfully designed to alleviate the inhibition of the by-product acetone by gas flow and continuously supplement 2-propanol. The organic waste can be simultaneously recovered for the purpose of green synthesis. In the sustainable system, structurally diverse chiral alcohols are synthesised at a high substrate loading (>150 g L-1) without adding external coenzymes. Among these, about 780 g L-1 (6 M) ethyl acetoacetate is completely converted into ethyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate in only 2.5 h with 99.9% ee and 7488 g L-1 d-1 space-time yield. Molecular dynamics simulation results shed light on the high catalytic activity toward the substrate. Therefore, the high 2-propanol tolerance SmADH2 with the TBCR system proves to be a potent biocatalytic strategy for the synthesis of chiral alcohols on an industrial scale.

- Chiral Imidazo[1,5- a]pyridine-Oxazolines: A Versatile Family of NHC Ligands for the Highly Enantioselective Hydrosilylation of Ketones
-
Herein we report the synthesis and application of a versatile class of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands based on an imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine-3-ylidine backbone that is fused to a chiral oxazoline auxiliary. The key step in the synthesis of these ligands involves the installation of the oxazoline functionality via a microwave-assisted condensation of a cyano-azolium salt with a wide variety of 2-amino alcohols. The resulting chiral bidentate NHC-oxazoline ligands form stable complexes with rhodium(I) that are efficient catalysts for the enantioselective hydrosilylation of structurally diverse ketones. The corresponding secondary alcohols are isolated in good yields (typically >90%) with good to excellent enantioselectivities (80-93% ee). The reported hydrosilylation occurs at ambient temperatures (40 °C), with excellent functional group tolerability. Even ketones bearing heterocyclic substituents (e.g., pyridine or thiophene) or complex organic architectures are hydrosilylated efficiently, which is discussed further in this report.

Complex 4 was employed as the catalyst for enantioselective hydroboration reaction of substituted ketones, and the corresponding secondary alcohols with excellent yields and high ee values were obtained using reductant HBpin. The same result was also achieved using the combination of lanthanium amides La[N(SiMe3)2]3 with Trost proligand H3L1 in a 1:1 molar ratio. The experimental findings and DFT calculation revealed the possible mechanism of the enantioselective hydroboration reaction and defined the origin of the enantioselectivity in the current system.

- Optimisation, scope and advantages of the synthesis of chiral phenylethanols using whole seeds of Bauhinia variegata L. (Fabaceae) as a new and stereoselective bio-reducer of carbonyl compounds
-
With the aim of finding new methods for environmentally friendly synthesis of chiral phenylethanols, a screening was carried out to identify seeds that could be used as a biocatalyst capable of reducing stereoselectively prochiral ketones. As a result, seeds of Bauhinia variegata L. (Fabaceae) were identified as being an efficient and stereoselective biological reducer of acetophenone to produce (S)-1-phenylethanol (conversion of 98% and 99 e.e.%). Then, to optimise the reductive process, the effects of some variables such as temperature, load of substrate, pH, co-solvent, and reuse and storability of the seeds as a function of time were established. Utilising the optimal reaction conditions, nineteen substituted acetophenones were reduced to their corresponding chiral alcohols with a conversion ranging from 30% to 98% and enantiomeric excess of between 65% and >99%, and in addition, useful key intermediates were also obtained by the synthesis of drugs. The scope and advantages of this new biocatalytic synthetic method are also discussed.Research highlights A screening was carried out to identify seeds that could be used as a biocatalyst Seeds of Bauhinia variegata have been identified as an efficient biocatalyst to reduce carbonyl compounds.

- Highly Enantioselective Transfer Hydrogenation of Prochiral Ketones Using Ru(II)-Chitosan Catalyst in Aqueous Media
-
Unprecedentedly high enantioselectivities are obtained in the transfer hydrogenation of prochiral ketones catalyzed by a Ru complex formed in situ with chitosan chiral ligand. This biocompatible, biodegradable chiral polymer obtained from the natural chitin afforded good, up to 86 % enantioselectivities, in the aqueous-phase transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone derivatives using HCOONa as hydrogen donor. Cyclic ketones were transformed in even higher, over 90 %, enantioselectivities, whereas further increase, up to 97 %, was obtained in the transfer hydrogenations of heterocyclic ketones. The chiral catalyst precursor prepared ex situ was examined by scanning electron microscopy, FT-mid- and -far-IR spectroscopy. The structure of the in situ formed catalyst was investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy and using various chitosan derivatives. It was shown that a Ru pre-catalyst is formed by coordination of the biopolymer to the metal by amino groups. This precursor is transformed in water insoluble Ru-hydride complex following hydrogen donor addition. The practical value of the developed method was verified by preparing over twenty chiral alcohols in good yields and optical purities. The catalyst was applied for obtaining optically pure chiral alcohols at gram scale following a single crystallization.

This protocol could be easily conducted on gram scale, thereby providing a chance to various drugs.

- The open d-shell enforces the active space in 3d metal catalysis: Highly enantioselective chromium(ii) pincer catalysed hydrosilylation of ketones
-
Bis(oxazolinyldimethylmethyl)pyrrol (PdmBox) stereodirecting ligands provided the key to the chromium(ii)-catalysed highly enantioselective hydrosilylation of ketones. A rare square planar, chiral chromium(ii) alkyl complex was found to serve as a potent precatalyst for the reduction of a broad range of aryl alkyl and dialkyl ketone derivatives. The stereoelectronic preference of the open d4 shell of chromium(ii) firmly locks the molecular catalyst in a square planar geometry giving rise to two blocked quadrants of the coordination sphere. This earth-abundant base metal catalytic platform produces the corresponding chiral alcohols in excellent isolated yields with up to 98 %ee under mild reaction conditions (-40 °C to rt) and at low catalyst loadings (as low as 0.5 mol%).

- Acylative Kinetic Resolution of Alcohols Using a Recyclable Polymer-Supported Isothiourea Catalyst in Batch and Flow
-
A polystyrene-supported isothiourea catalyst, based on the homogeneous catalyst HyperBTM, has been prepared and used for the acylative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols. A wide range of alcohols, including benzylic, allylic, and propargylic alcohols, cycloalkanol derivatives, and a 1,2-diol, has been resolved using either propionic or isobutyric anhydride with good to excellent selectivity factors obtained (28 examples, s values up to 600). The catalyst can be recovered and reused by a simple filtration and washing sequence, with no special precautions needed. The recyclability of the catalyst was demonstrated (15 cycles) with no significant loss in either activity or selectivity. The recyclable catalyst was also used for the sequential resolution of 10 different alcohols using different anhydrides with no cross-contamination between cycles. Finally, successful application in a continuous flow process demonstrated the first example of an immobilized Lewis base catalyst used for the kinetic resolution of alcohols in flow.

- Manganese(I)-Catalyzed Enantioselective Hydrogenation of Ketones Using a Defined Chiral PNP Pincer Ligand
-
A new chiral manganese PNP pincer complex is described. The asymmetric hydrogenation of several prochiral ketones with molecular hydrogen in the presence of this complex proceeds under mild conditions (30–40 °C, 4 h, 30 bar H2). Besides high catalytic activity for aromatic substrates, aliphatic ketones are hydrogenated with remarkable selectivity (e.r. up to 92:8). DFT calculations support an outer sphere hydrogenation mechanism as well as the experimentally determined stereochemistry.

- Enantioselective reduction of aryl and hetero aryl methyl ketones using plant cell suspension cultures of Vigna radiata
-
Vigna radiata was investigated as whole cell catalyst for the bioreduction of aryl and heteroaryl prochiral ketones into optically active alcohols. The study indicates selective bioreduction of different substituted aryl and heteroaryl ketones (1a–12a) to their respective (S)–chiral alcohols (1b–12b) in good to high enantioselectivity (77.7–97.5%) with very good yields (73–82%). The results obtained confirm that the keto reductase has broad substrate specificity and selectivity in catalyzing both six and five-membered heteroaryl methyl ketones. The current methodology substantiates a promising and alternative green approach for the synthesis of secondary chiral alcohols of biological importance in a mild, cheap and environmentally benign process.

- Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of (Hetero)arylketones with Tethered Rh(III)-N-(p-Tolylsulfonyl)-1,2-diphenylethylene-1,2-diamine Complexes: Scope and Limitations
-
A series of new tethered Rh(III)/Cp? complexes containing the N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-1,2-diphenylethylene-1,2-diamine ligand have been prepared, characterized, and evaluated in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of a wide range of (hetero)aryl ketones. The reaction was performed under mild conditions with the formic acid/triethylamine (5:2) system as the hydrogen source and provided enantiomerically enriched alcohols with good yields and high to excellent enantioselectivities. Although the nature of the substituents on the phenyl tethering ring did not alter the stereochemical outcome of the reaction, complexes bearing electron-donating groups exhibited a higher catalytic activity than those having electron-withdrawing groups. A scale-up of the ATH of 4-chromanone to the gram scale quantitatively delivered the reduced product with excellent enantioselectivity, demonstrating the potential usefulness of these new complexes.

- Mechanism-Based Enantiodivergence in Manganese Reduction Catalysis: A Chiral Pincer Complex for the Highly Enantioselective Hydroboration of Ketones
-
A manganese alkyl complex containing a chiral bis(oxazolinyl-methylidene)isoindoline pincer ligand is a precatalyst for a catalytic system of unprecedented activity and selectivity in the enantioselective hydroboration of ketones, thus producing preparatively useful chiral alcohols in excellent yields with up to greater than 99 % ee. It is applicable for both aryl alkyl and dialkyl ketone reduction under mild reaction conditions (TOF >450 h?1 at ?40 °C). The earth-abundant base-metal catalyst operates at very low catalyst loadings (as low as 0.1 mol %) and with a high level of functional-group tolerance. There is evidence for the existence of two distinct mechanistic pathways for manganese-catalyzed hydride transfer and their role for enantiocontrol in the selectivity-determining step is presented.

- Method for synthesizing chiral alcohol
-
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing chiral alcohol. The method comprises the following steps: adding alkyne, gold chloride [Au(L)Cl], a solvent methanol, and water into a reactor; carrying out reactions for 6 to 12 hours at a temperature of 110 DEG C, cooling to the room temperature; then adding sodium formate, water, and a transition metal rhodium catalyst Cp*RhCl[(R,R)-TsDPEN], carrying out reactions for 5 hours at a temperature of 30 to 40 DEG C, cooling to the room temperature, performing rotary evaporation to remove the solvent, and carrying out column separation to obtain the target compound.

The novel set of quinazoline-based chiral ligands was synthesized starting from optically pure amino acids. Coordination with RuCl2(PPh3)dppb gave ruthenium(II) N-heterocyclic complexes 4b-d. The structure of complex 4b was fully illuminated by X-ray crystallography. The steric environment of these chiral ruthenium complexes 4b-d was evaluated in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of prochiral ketones in the presence of NaOiPr by using 2-propanol as the hydrogen source and solvent. The resultant catalytic system can achieve very good enantioselectivities (up to 91%) and high yields (up to 99%).

-
Enantioselective reduction of ketones with (EtO)2MeSiH catalyzed by an in-situ generated N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) Ir complex at room temperature has been developed. A series of benzimidazolium salts were synthesized and screened in the asymmetric hydrosilylation reaction. As a result, propiophenone was efficiently reduced by the combined catalytic system of [IrCl(cod)]2 and NHC-Ag complex derived from N-(1-naphthalenylmethyl)-substituted benzimidazolium salt L12, affording the corresponding alcohol in 92% yield and with 92% ee. Moreover, the evaluation of an Ir catalyst precursor showed that cationic [Ir(cod)2]BF4 complex could be used. Furthermore, the introduction of a chiral hydroxyamide side arm into the benzimidazolium salt was critical for the successful design of the NHC ligand.
