- Combined Theoretical and Experimental Studies Unravel Multiple Pathways to Convergent Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Enamides
-
We present a highly efficient convergent asymmetric hydrogenation of E/Z mixtures of enamides catalyzed by N,P-iridium complexes supported by mechanistic studies. It was found that reduction of the olefinic isomers (E and Z geometries) produces chiral amides with the same absolute configuration (enantioconvergent hydrogenation). This allowed the hydrogenation of a wide range of E/Z mixtures of trisubstituted enamides with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). A detailed mechanistic study using deuterium labeling and kinetic experiments revealed two different pathways for the observed enantioconvergence. For α-aryl enamides, fast isomerization of the double bond takes place, and the overall process results in kinetic resolution of the two isomers. For α-alkyl enamides, no double bond isomerization is detected, and competition experiments suggested that substrate chelation is responsible for the enantioconvergent stereochemical outcome. DFT calculations were performed to predict the correct absolute configuration of the products and strengthen the proposed mechanism of the iridium-catalyzed isomerization pathway.

- Facile Synthesis of Chiral Arylamines, Alkylamines and Amides by Enantioselective NiH-Catalyzed Hydroamination
-
Regio- and enantioselective hydroarylamination, hydroalkylamination and hydroamidation of styrenes have been developed by NiH catalysis with a simple bioxazoline ligand under mild conditions. A wide range of enantioenriched benzylic arylamines, alkylamines and amides can be easily accessed by nitroarenes, hydroxylamines and dioxazolones, respectively as amination reagents. The chiral induction in these reactions is proposed to proceed through an enantiodifferentiating syn-hydronickellation step.

- Asymmetric catalysis of the carbonyl-amine condensation: Kinetic resolution of primary amines
-
A Br?nsted acid catalyzed kinetic resolution of primary amines is described that is based on the condensation between an amine and a carbonyl compound. 1,3-Diketones react with racemic α-branched amines to furnish the corresponding enantioenriched enaminone and recovered starting material. Good to excellent enantioselectivity was observed with both aromatic and aliphatic primary amines. This process represents the first small-molecule catalyzed kinetic resolution of aliphatic amines.

- Microwave-Enhanced Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of N-(tert-Butylsulfinyl)imines
-
Microwave irradiation has considerably enhanced the efficiency of the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of N-(tert-butylsulfinyl)imines in isopropyl alcohol catalyzed by a ruthenium complex bearing the achiral ligand 2-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol. In addition to shortening reaction times for the transfer hydrogenation processes to only 30 min, the amounts of ruthenium catalyst and isopropyl alcohol can be considerably reduced in comparison with our previous procedure assisted by conventional heating, which diminishes the environmental impact of this new protocol. This methodology can be applied to aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic N-(tert-butylsulfinyl)ketimines, leading, after desulfinylation, to the expected primary amines in excellent yields and with enantiomeric excesses of up to 96 %. Microwave irradiation promotes the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of N-(tert-butylsulfinyl)imines in 2-propanol catalysed by a ruthenium complex bearing an achiral β-amino alcohol as ligand. After desulfinylation, α-branched primary amines containing aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic substituents are obtained in excellent yields and with enantiomeric excesses of up to 96 %.

- Asymmetric synthesis of chiral primary amines by transfer hydrogenation of N -(tert -Butanesulfinyl)ketimines
-
(Figure presented) The diastereoselective reduction of (R)-N-(tert- butanesulfinyl)ketimines by a ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation process in isopropyl alcohol, followed by desulfinylation of the nitrogen atom, is an excellent method to prepare highly enantiomerically enriched α-branched primary amines (up to >99% ee) in short reaction times (1-4 h). (1S,2R)-1-Amino-2-indanol has been shown to be a very efficient ligand to perform this transformation. Ketimines bearing either an aryl or a heteroaryl group and an alkyl group as substituents of the iminic carbon atom are very good substrates for this process. The reduction of a dialkyl ketimine could also be achieved, affording the expected amine with moderate optical purity (69% ee). Some amines which are precursors of very interesting biologically and pharmacologically active compounds have been prepared in excellent yields and enantiomeric excesses.

- HOMOLYTIC AZIRIDINE OPENING (AZA VARIANT OF CYCLOPROPYLCARBINYL-HOMOALLYL REARRANGEMENT) BY ADDITION OF TRIBUTYLTIN RADICAL TO N-ACYLAZIRIDINES. FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THE REGIOSELECTIVITY
-
AIBN initiated reaction of N-acylaziridines 1 with Bu3SnH in refluxing benzene provided products 5 and 8 of reductive ring opening.Yields (practically quantitative in most cases) fell drastically with steric hindrance of the addition of Bu3Sn to the acyl oxygen of 1.They depended to some extent on the experimental conditions for hydrogen capturing when aziridine homolysis provided a primary radical 3 or 6.The regioselectivity of (probably reversible) ring homolysis can be understood in terms of the stability of the arising radical (3, 6), of stereoelectronic control (e.g. 1i as compared to 1h) and of frontier orbital interactions (1j).A possible difference in bond lengths as explanation for the formation of the primary radical from 1j did not find support from an X-ray structure analysis of N-tosyl-2-methyl-aziridine 11.Isomeric products were obtained only twice (1i, 1j) with a dependence of the ratio 5j:8j on concentration and hydrogen isotope of Bu3SnH.No such dependence was found for the ratio 5:14 (reduction without and with an intervening cyclization of 3 leading to a pyrrolidone) obtained from the N-cinnamoylaziridine 1l.This ratio (1:9 for 1l and 1:3 for 1n) must reflect the E-Z isomers in 3.The observed preference for the formation of E-3 from 2 can be explained by stereoelectronic and steric effects.A cinnamoyl double bond in 5 was saturated depending on experimental conditions.

- Von der basenkatalysierten Ringoeffnung von 2H-Azirinen zu einer α-Alkylierungsmethode von primaeren Aminen

It is shown than fluorene-9'-spiro-2-(3-phenyl-2H-azirine) (1) on treatment with various alcohols in the presence of the corresponding alkoxide ions yields N-(9'-fluorenyl)benzimidates 2a-d (Scheme 1). 2,2,3-Triphenyl-2H-aziridine (3) reacts with methanol in a similar manner (Scheme 2).Benzimidates 2a (Scheme 3), 8 (Scheme 4) and 10 (Scheme 5) can easily be deprotonated by butyllithium (BuLi) or lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) to 1-methoxy-2-aza-allylanions, that can be alkylated, at C(3), exclusively, by various electrophiles (e.g.R-X (X = I, Br), RCHO or methyl acrylate (see also Scheme 6)).As the acidic hydrolyses (1 N HCl) of benzimidates 9 and 11 leads to the corresponding α-alkylated free amines 15 and 18 (Scheme 7 and 8), benzoyl derivatives 16 and 19 are obtained from the hydrolysis under basic conditions.On the other hand it is observed that a catalyzed Chapman rearrangement of 9 and 11 results in the formation of N-benzoyl-N-methyl derivatives 17 and 20 (Scheme 7 and 8).The described reactions offer a simple method for the α-alkylation of actived primary amines.
