The design and development of robust and porous supported catalysts with high activity and selectivity is extremely significant but very challenging for eco-friendly synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. We report here the design and synthesis of highly stable chiral Zr(IV)-based MOFs with different topologies to support Ir complexes and demonstrate their network structures-dependent asymmetric catalytic performance. Guided by the modulated synthesis and isoreticular expansion strategy, five chiral Zr-MOFs with a flu or ith topology are constructed from enantiopure 1,1′-biphenol-derived tetracarboxylate linkers and Zr6, Zr9, or Zr12 clusters. The obtained MOFs all show high chemical stability in boiling water, strongly acidic, and weakly basic aqueous solutions. The two flu MOFs featuring the dihydroxyl groups of biphenol in open and large cages, after sequential postsynthetic modification with P(NMe2)3 and [Ir(COD)Cl]2, can be highly efficient and recyclable heterogeneous catalysts for hydrogenation of α-dehydroamino acid esters with up to 98% ee, whereas the three ith MOFs featuring the dihydroxyl groups in small cages cannot be installed with P(NMe2)3 to support the Ir complex. Incorporation of Ir-phosphorus catalysts into Zr-MOFs leads to great enhancement of their chemical stability, durability, and even stereoselectivity. This work therefore not only advances Zr-MOFs as stable supports for labile metal catalysts for heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis but also provides a new insight into how highly active chiral centers can result due to the framework topology.

In this study, we combined photo-organo redox catalysis and biocatalysis to achieve asymmetric C–H bond functionalization of simple alkane starting materials. The photo-organo catalyst anthraquinone sulfate (SAS) was employed to oxyfunctionalise alkanes to aldehydes and ketones. We coupled this light-driven reaction with asymmetric enzymatic functionalisations to yield chiral hydroxynitriles, amines, acyloins and α-chiral ketones with up to 99 % ee. In addition, we demonstrate functional group interconversion to alcohols, esters and carboxylic acids. The transformations can be performed as concurrent tandem reactions. We identified the degradation of substrates and inhibition of the biocatalysts as limiting factors affecting compatibility, due to reactive oxygen species generated in the photocatalytic step. These incompatibilities were addressed by reaction engineering, such as applying a two-phase system or temporal and spatial separation of the catalysts. Using a selection of eleven starting alkanes, one photo-organo catalyst and 8 diverse biocatalysts, we synthesized 26 products and report for the model compounds benzoin and mandelonitrile > 97 % ee at gram scale.

The search for versatile heterogeneous catalysts with multiple active sites for broad asymmetric transformations has long been of great interest, but it remains a formidable synthetic challenge. Here we demonstrate that multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV-MOFs) can be used as an excellent platform to engineer heterogeneous catalysts featuring multiple and cooperative active sites. An isostructural series of 2-fold interpenetrated MTV-MOFs that contain up to three different chiral metallosalen catalysts was constructed and used as efficient and recyclable heterogeneous catalysts for a variety of asymmetric sequential alkene epoxidation/epoxide ring-opening reactions. Interpenetration of the frameworks brings metallosalen units adjacent to each other, allowing cooperative activation, which results in improved efficiency and enantioselectivity over the sum of the individual parts. The fact that manipulation of molecular catalysts in MTV-MOFs can control the activities and selectivities would facilitate the design of novel multifunctional materials for enantioselective processes.

Cyanohydrins are versatile compounds with high applicability in organic synthesis; they are used as starting materials for the synthesis of other chemical targets with high industrial added value. Lipase-mediated kinetic resolution reactions are a promising route for the synthesis of optically active cyanohydrins. These reactions can be carried out through the acylation of cyanohydrins or the deacylation of cyanohydrin esters, with different biocatalysts and under different reaction conditions. Unfortunately, depending on the substrate structure, long reaction times can be required to achieve suitable enantiomeric excesses. In this context, we present a high-throughput protocol for the production of optically active cyanohydrins in continuous-flow mode. The products were obtained with moderate to good enantioselectivity (E values from 8 up to >200) and with productivity values from 2.4 to 8.7 times higher in continuous-flow mode than in batch mode. Moreover, the reaction times were reduced from hours in batch mode to minutes in continuous-flow mode.

An enantioselective preparation of O-acetylcyanohydrins has been accomplished by a three-step telescoped continuous process. The modular components enabled an accurate control of two sequential biotransformations, safe handling of an in situ generated hazardous gas, and in-line stabilization of products. This method proved to be advantageous over the batch protocols in terms of reaction time (40 min vs 345 min) and ease of operation, opening up access to reactions which have often been neglected due to safety concerns.

Enzymatic kinetic resolution (EKR) of (±)-cyanohydrins was performed by using immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica (CALB) under conventional ordinary conditions (orbital shaking) and under microwave radiation (MW). The use of microwave radiation contributed very expressively on the reduction of the reaction time from 24 to 2 h. Most importantly, high selectivity (up to 92percent eep) as well as conversion was achieved under MW radiation (50-56percent).

A chemoenzymatic two-step cascade process, with both steps having incompatible reaction conditions, was successfully performed in continuous flow. The chemoenzymatic aqueous formation of cyanohydrins was integrated with a subsequent organic phase protection step in a single flow process utilising a membrane-based phase separation module. The wider applicability of our setup was demonstrated with the synthesis of nine protected cyanohydrin derivatives, all obtained in good yields and high to excellent enantioselectivity.
Proline adducts of metallo-organic, sextuply-stranded lanterns as homogeneous catalysts for asymmetric catalysis
Zhu, Wenting,Wu, Xiao,He, Cheng,Duan, Chunying
, p. 10477 - 10481 (2013/11/19)
Two homochiral metal-organic, sextuply-stranded, lantern-like complexes, Ce-L-Pro1 and Ce-D-Pro1, were synthesized via self-assembly by incorporating a L or D-pyrrolidine moiety within the respective ligands. The Ce-Pro1 complexes are comprised of chiral pyrrolidine-containing ligands and have lantern-like cavities. They function as asymmetric catalysts that promote cyanosilylation reactions with good conversions and enantioselectivity.

Using an acetone precipitation method, crude (S)-hydroxynitrile lyase [(S)-MeHNL] was separated from Munihot esculenta (cassava) leaves, and used directly as biocatalyst to catalyze asymmetric cyanohydrination and produce cyanohydrins with enantiomeric purities (≥90% ee) significantly greater than those previously reported. The use of a water/i-Pr2O system with an enzyme, NaCN, and appropriate amounts of acetic acid is crucial in improving the stereoselectivity of cyanohydrin formation by minimizing the non-enzymatic reaction and the racemization of the chiral products. The proposed isolation method for crude (S)-MeHNL has a high value because of its simplicity, and low cost as well as the high activity of the crude (S)-MeHNL.

experimental part, p. 648 - 657 (2011/07/08)
A group of tridentate Schiff bases derived from (+)-α-pinene were synthesized. The steric effects in the transition state, the importance of π-π stacking interactions as well as the electronic effects of aryl aldehydes according to Hammett constant values in the enantioselective addition of Et2Zn to aldehydes with the use of Schiff bases as chiral ligands are described. Also, a variety of aldehydes were cyanated using a catalyst prepared in situ from titanium tetraisopropoxide and chiral Schiff bases. The influence of a conjugated double-bond in the cyanation substrates on enantioselectivity was observed. The chemical structures of the chiral Schiff base-titanium alkoxide complexes are discussed based on their 1H and 13C NMR spectra. 3D models of the Zn2-complex catalyst and Ti-complex catalyst containing α-pinane-type Schiff bases based on X-ray diffraction experiments are postulated. The models presented were consistent with the reported chirality of the addition product and observed ee.
