- Immobilized bisdiazaphospholane catalysts for asymmetric hydroformylation
-
Condensation reactions of enantiopure bis-3,4-diazaphospholanes (BDPs) that are functionalized with carboxylic acids enable covalent attachment to bead and silica supports. Exposure of tethered BDPs to the hydroformylation catalyst precursor, Rh(acac)(CO)2, yields catalysts for immobilized asymmetric hydroformylation (iAHF) of prochiral alkenes. Compared with homogeneous catalysts, catalysts immobilized on Tentagel resins exhibit similarly high regioselectivity and enantioselectivity. When corrected for apparent catalyst loading, the activity of the immobilized catalysts approaches that of the homogeneous analogues. Excellent recyclability with trace levels of rhodium leaching are observed in batch and flow reactor conditions. Silica-bound catalysts exhibit poorer enantioselectivities.

- Libraries of bisdiazaphospholanes and optimization of rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective hydroformylation

Twelve chiral bis-3,4-diazaphospholane ligands and six alkene substrates (styrene, vinyl acetate, allyloxy-tert-butyldimethylsilane, (E)-1-phenyl-1,3- butadiene, 2,3-dihydrofuran, and 2,5-dihydrofuran) probe the influence of steric bulk on the activity and selectivity of asymmetric hydroformylation (AHF) catalysts. Reaction of an enantiopure bisdiazaphospholane tetraacyl fluoride with primary or secondary amines yields a small library of tetracarboxamides. For all six substrates, manipulation of reaction conditions and bisdiazaphospholane ligands enables state-of-the-art performance (90% or higher ee, good regioselectivity, and high turnover rates). For the nondihydrofuran substrates, the previously reported ligand, (S,S)-2, is generally most effective. However, optimal regio- and enantioselective hydroformylation of 2,3-dihydrofuran (up to 3.8:1 α-isomer/β-isomer ratio and 90% ee for the α-isomer) and 2,5-dihydrofuran (up to 1:30 α-isomer/β- isomer ratio and 95% ee for the β-isomer) arises from bisdiazaphospholanes containing tertiary carboxamides. Hydroformylation of either 2,3- or 2,5-dihydrofuran yields some of the β-formyl product. However, the absolute sense of stereochemistry is inverted. A stereoelectronic map rationalizes the opposing enantiopreferences
