- An expedient route to heterocycles through α-arylation of ketones and arylamides by microwave induced thermal SRN1 reactions
-
Microwave irradiation promotes a quick aromatic nucleophilic substitution by a thermally induced electron transfer process to form new C-C bonds by the coupling of aryl radicals and enolate nucleophiles. Diverse 2-aryl-1- phenylethanones can be prepared by the direct α-arylation of acetophenone with different haloarenes. The ketone enolate anion is generated by deprotonation with tBuOK in DMSO and the reaction is carried out in a closed microwave vessel at 70-100°C for 10 min. This simple procedure also allows the synthesis of deoxybenzoin and indole heterocycle derivatives by inter- or intra-molecular ring closure reactions, with moderate to excellent substitution yields.

- Enantioselective Protonation of Silyl Enol Ether Using Excited State Proton Transfer Dyes
-
Enantiopure excited state proton transfer (ESPT) dyes were used for the asymmetric protonation of silyl enol ether. Under 365 nm irradiation, with 3,3′-dibromo-VANOL as the ESPT dye, up to 49% enantioselectivity with a 68% yield of product was observed at room temperature. The reaction is effective with a range of silyl enol ethers and can also be achieved with visible light upon the addition of triplet sensitizer. The relatively low ee of the protonated product is due to the racemization/decomposition of the ESPT dye in the excited state as indicated by circular dichroism, HPLC, and UV-vis spectroscopy.

- GaCl3-catalyzed skeletal rearrangement of α,α, α-trisubstituted aldehydes
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) GaCl3 is found to be a superior catalyst for the skeletal rearrangement of α,α,α- trisubstituted aldehydes to ketones. The rearrangement can proceed smoothly in the presence of a catalytic amount of GaCl3, and even substrates having no heteroatoms α to the carbonyl group or without steric strains can be used. Double activation of a carbonyl group by two molecules of GaCl 3 was supported on the basis of experimental data and a DFT study.

The LBA which is prepared from tin tetrachloride and optically active binaphthol or its monomethyl ether is a highly effective reagent for the enantioselective protonation of prochiral allyltrimethyltins. The absolute stereochemical selectivity is quite different from that in the protonation of silyl enol ethers which we reported earlier.

- Synthesis of an enantiopure 2-arylcyclohexanols from prochiral enol acetates by an enantioselective protonation/diastereoselective reduction sequence
-
The enantioselective protonation with 2-sulfinyl alcohols of lithium enolates of 2-arylcyclohexanones with different substituents on the phenyl group takes place with excellent enantioselectivities (89-99%). Chiral 2-phenylcyclohexanone and 2-arylcyclohexanones carrying electron donor substituents on the aromatic ring are converted into the corresponding trans-2-arylcyclohexanols by diastereoselective reduction with sodium naphthalenide in the presence of acetamide. The stereochemical integrity of the tertiary stereocenter is fully preserved using this reduction procedure. Interestingly, the chiral proton source is not consumed in the synthesis.

-
A series of substituted arenes containing remote chiral centers were screened as substrates for toluene dioxygenase (TDO). The absolute stereochemistry of the new metabolites was determined by chemical and spectroscopic correlation with synthetic standards. There was no evidence for kinetic resolution; enantiomers were indiscriminately processed by the enzyme to diastereomeric pairs, which were separable upon derivatization. Some of these new metabolites are useful as synthons for morphine synthesis. Full experimental details are reported for those new compounds stable to isolation and for derivatives of those that are unstable.

The obtained derivatives were effectively immobilized onto macroporous silica gel by intermolecular polycondensation of triethoxysilyl groups. Their chiral recognition abilities were evaluated as chiral packing materials (CPMs) for high-performance liquid chromatography. These CPMs showed high chiral recognition as well as the conventional coated-type CPM, and can be used with the eluents-containing chloroform and tetrahydrofuran. With the extended use of these eluents, improvement of chiral recognition and reversed elution orders were realized. For some racemates, the immobilized CPM exhibited ability comparable or better to the commercial immobilized amylose- or cellulose-based columns,

- Safe and Scalable Aerobic Oxidation by 2-Azaadamantan-2-ol (AZADOL)/NOx Catalysis: Large-Scale Preparation of Shi's Catalyst
-
A method for safe and scalable aerobic alcohol oxidation using 2-azaadamantan-2-ol (AZADOL), an azaadamantane-type hydroxylamine catalyst, with a NOx cocatalyst in a conventional batch reactor has been developed. The use of 2 mol % AZADOL and 10 mol % NaNO2 was determined to promote aerobic alcohol oxidation quantitatively within a reasonable time (8 h). Safety is ensured by controlling the reaction temperature below the flash point of the acetic acid solvent. The robustness of the developed method is demonstrated by the 500 g scale oxidation of diacetone fructose into Shi's catalyst for asymmetric epoxidation.

- Deciphering Reactivity and Selectivity Patterns in Aliphatic C-H Bond Oxygenation of Cyclopentane and Cyclohexane Derivatives
-
A kinetic, product, and computational study on the reactions of the cumyloxyl radical with monosubstituted cyclopentanes and cyclohexanes has been carried out. HAT rates, site-selectivities for C-H bond oxidation, and DFT computations provide quantitative information and theoretical models to explain the observed patterns. Cyclopentanes functionalize predominantly at C-1, and tertiary C-H bond activation barriers decrease on going from methyl- and tert-butylcyclopentane to phenylcyclopentane, in line with the computed C-H BDEs. With cyclohexanes, the relative importance of HAT from C-1 decreases on going from methyl- and phenylcyclohexane to ethyl-, isopropyl-, and tert-butylcyclohexane. Deactivation is also observed at C-2 with site-selectivity that progressively shifts to C-3 and C-4 with increasing substituent steric bulk. The site-selectivities observed in the corresponding oxidations promoted by ethyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane support this mechanistic picture. Comparison of these results with those obtained previously for C-H bond azidation and functionalizations promoted by the PINO radical of phenyl and tert-butylcyclohexane, together with new calculations, provides a mechanistic framework for understanding C-H bond functionalization of cycloalkanes. The nature of the HAT reagent, C-H bond strengths, and torsional effects are important determinants of site-selectivity, with the latter effects that play a major role in the reactions of oxygen-centered HAT reagents with monosubstituted cyclohexanes.

- The Silicon-Hydrogen Exchange Reaction: Catalytic Kinetic Resolution of 2-Substituted Cyclic Ketones
-
We have recently reported the strong and confined, chiral acid-catalyzed asymmetric 'silicon-hydrogen exchange reaction'. One aspect of this transformation is that it enables access to enantiopure enol silanes in a tautomerizing σ-bond metathesis, via deprotosilylation of ketones with allyl silanes as the silicon source. However, until today, this reaction has not been applied to racemic, 2-substituted, cyclic ketones. We show here that these important substrates readily undergo a highly enantioselective kinetic resolution furnishing the corresponding kinetically preferred enol silanes. Mechanistic studies suggest the fascinating possibility of advancing the process to a dynamic kinetic resolution.

- The Silicon-Hydrogen Exchange Reaction: A Catalytic σ-Bond Metathesis Approach to the Enantioselective Synthesis of Enol Silanes
-
The use of chiral enol silanes in fundamental transformations such as Mukaiyama aldol, Michael, and Mannich reactions as well as Saegusa-Ito dehydrogenations has enabled the chemical synthesis of enantiopure natural products and valuable pharmaceuticals. However, accessing these intermediates in high enantiopurity has generally required the use of either stoichiometric chiral precursors or stoichiometric chiral reagents. We now describe a catalytic approach in which strongly acidic and confined imidodiphosphorimidates (IDPi) catalyze highly enantioselective interconversions of ketones and enol silanes. These "silicon-hydrogen exchange reactions"enable access to enantiopure enol silanes via tautomerizing σ-bond metatheses, either in a deprotosilylative desymmetrization of ketones with allyl silanes as the silicon source or in a protodesilylative kinetic resolution of racemic enol silanes with a carboxylic acid as the silyl acceptor.

- Chemoselective Oxidation of Equatorial Alcohols with N-Ligated λ3-Iodanes
-
The site-selective and chemoselective functionalization of alcohols in complex polyols remains a formidable synthetic challenge. Whereas significant advancements have been made in selective derivatization at the oxygen center, chemoselective oxidation to the corresponding carbonyls is less developed. In cyclic systems, whereas the selective oxidation of axial alcohols is well known, a complementary equatorial selective process has not yet been reported. Herein we report the utility of nitrogen-ligated (bis)cationic λ3-iodanes (N-HVIs) for alcohol oxidation and their unprecedented levels of selectivity for the oxidation of equatorial over axial alcohols. The conditions are mild, and the simple pyridine-ligated reagent (Py-HVI) is readily synthesized from commercial PhI(OAc)2 and can be either isolated or generated in situ. Conformational selectivity is demonstrated in both flexible 1,2-substituted cyclohexanols and rigid polyol scaffolds, providing chemists with a novel tool for chemoselective oxidation.

- HPLC with cellulose Tris (3,5-DimethylPhenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase: Influence of coating times and coating amount on chiral discrimination
-
Coating cellulose tris (3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CDMPC) on silica gels with large pores have been demonstrated as an efficient way for the preparation of chiral stationary phase (CSP) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). During the process, a number of parameters, including the type of coating solvent, amount of coating, and the method for subsequent solvent removing, have been proved to affect the performance of the resultant CSPs. Coating times and the concentration of coating solution, however, also makes a difference to CSPs' performance by changing the arrangement of cellulose derivatives while remaining the coating amount constant, have much less been studied before, and thereby, were systematically investigated in this work. Results showed that CSPs with more coating times exhibited higher chiral recognition and column efficiency, suggesting that resolution was determined by column efficiency herein. Afterwards, we also investigated the effect of coating amount on the performance of CSPs, and it was shown that the ability of enantio-recognition did not increase all the time as the coating amount; and four of seven racemates achieved best resolution when the coating amount reached to 18.37%. At the end, the reproducibility of CDMPC-coated CSPs were further confirmed by two methods, ie, reprepared the CSP-0.15-3 and reevaluated the effect of coating times.

The graphene oxide (GO) was covalently coupled to the surfaces of silica gel (SiO2) microspheres by amide bond to get the graphene oxide@silica gel (GO@SiO2). Then, the GO@SiO2 was reduced with hydrazine to the reduced graphene oxide@silica gel (rGO@SiO2), and the cellulose derivatives were physically coated on the surfaces of rGO@SiO2 to prepare a chiral stationary phase (CSP) for high performance liquid chromatography. Under the optimum experimental conditions, eight benzene-enriched enantiomers were separated completely, and the resolution of trans-stilbene oxide perfectly reached 4.83. Compared with the blank column of non-bonded rGO, the separation performance is better on the new CSP, which is due to the existence of rGO to produce special retention interaction with analytes, such as π-π stacking, hydrophobic effect, π-π electron-donor–acceptor interaction, and hydrogen bonding. Therefore, the obtained CSP shows special selectivity for benzene-enriched enantiomers, improves separation selectivity and efficiency, and rGO plays a synergistic effect with cellulose derivatives on enantioseparation.

- Photoinduced C—C Bond Cleavage and Oxidation of Cycloketoxime Esters
-
A novel structural reorganization of cycloketoxime esters beyond the traditional Beckmann rearrangement process has been established to build cyano-containing ketones in the presence of photocatalyst. This novel transformation is remarkable with selective C—C bond cleavage and an oxidation process enabled by DMSO used as the solvent, oxidant, and oxygen source avoiding acid, base and toxic cyanide salts as the cyano source. Further applications in late-stage modification of complex and chiral molecules have also been reported.

- Synthesis of α-Arylated Cycloalkanones from Congested Trisubstituted Spiro-epoxides: Application of the House-Meinwald Rearrangement for Ring Expansion
-
A three-step sequence for the synthesis of α-arylated cyclohexanones and the most challenging cycloheptanones is reported. First, an efficient one-pot synthesis of β,β'-disubstituted benzylidene cycloalkanes (styrenes) using the palladium-catalyzed Barluenga reaction from readily available feedstock chemicals is described. Furthermore, an epoxidation followed by the House-Meinwald rearrangement (HMR) of spiro-epoxides is reported to produce a number of α-arylated cycloalkanones upon ring expansion. Reactions catalyzed by bismuth triflate underwent quasi-exclusively ring expansion for all substrates (electronically poor and rich), with yields ranging from 15% to 95%, thus demonstrating the difficulty of achieving ring enlargement for electron-deficient spiro-epoxides. On the other hand, by means of catalysis with aluminum trichloride, the rearrangement of spiro-epoxides proceeded typically in high yields and with remarkable regioselectivity on a broader substrate scope. In this case, a switch of regioselectivity was achieved for spiro-epoxides with electron-withdrawing substituents which enable the method to be successfully extended to some chemospecific arene shifts and the synthesis of aldehydes bearing a α-quaternary carbon. While the HMR has been extensively studied for smaller ring enlargement, we are pleased to report herein that larger cyclohexanones and cycloheptanones can be obtained efficiently from more sterically demanding trisubstituted spiro-epoxides bearing electron-releasing and electron-neutral arene substituents.

- First chemo-enzymatic synthesis of the (R)-Taniguchi lactone and substrate profiles of CAMO and OTEMO, two new Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenases
-
Abstract: This study investigates the substrate profile of cycloalkanone monooxygenase and 2-oxo-Δ3-4,5,5-trimethylcyclopentenylacetyl-coenzyme A monooxygenase, two recently discovered enzymes of the Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase family, used as whole-cell biocatalysts. Biooxidations of a diverse set of ketones were performed on analytical scale: desymmetrization of substituted prochiral cyclobutanones and cyclohexanones, regiodivergent oxidation of terpenones and bicyclic ketones, as well as kinetic resolution of racemic cycloketones. We demonstrated the applicability of the title enzymes in the enantioselective synthesis of (R)-(?)-Taniguchi lactone, a building block for the preparation of various natural product analogs such as ent-quinine.

- Directed β C-H Amination of Alcohols via Radical Relay Chaperones
-
A radical-mediated strategy for β C-H amination of alcohols has been developed. This approach employs a radical relay chaperone, which serves as a traceless director that facilitates selective C-H functionalization via 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and enables net incorporation of ammonia at the β carbon of alcohols. The chaperones presented herein enable direct access to imidate radicals, allowing their first use for H atom abstraction. A streamlined protocol enables rapid conversion of alcohols to their β-amino analogs (via in situ conversion of alcohols to imidates, directed C-H amination, and hydrolysis to NH2). Mechanistic experiments indicate HAT is rate-limiting, whereas intramolecular amination is product- and stereo-determining.

- Preparation and evaluation of regioselectively substituted amylose derivatives for chiral separations
-
Six novel regioselectively substituted amylose derivatives with a benzoate at 2-position and two different phenylcarbamates at 3- and 6-positions were synthesized and their structures were characterized by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Their enantioseparation abilities were then examined as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) after they were coated on 3-aminopropyl silica gels. Investigations indicated that the substituents at the 3- and 6-positions played an important role in chiral recognition of these amylose 2-benzoate serial derivatives. The derivatives demonstrated characteristic enantioseparation and some racemates were better resolved on these derivatives than on Chiralpak AD, which is one of the most efficient CSPs, utilizing coated amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) as the chiral selector. Among the derivatives prepared, amylose 2-benzoate-3-(phenylcarbamate/4-methylphenylcarbamate)-6-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) exhibited chiral recognition abilities comparable to that of Chiralpak AD and may be useful CSPs in the future. The effect of mobile phase on chiral recognition was also studied. In general, with the decreased concentration of 2-propanol, better resolutions were obtained with longer retention times. Moreover, when ethanol was used instead of 2-propanol, poorer resolutions were often achieved. However, in some cases, improved enantioselectivity was achieved with ethanol rather than 2-propanol as the mobile phase modifier.

- Burgess Reagent Facilitated Alcohol Oxidations in DMSO
-
The Burgess reagent ([methoxycarbonylsulfamoyl]triethylammonium hydroxide) has historically found utility as a dehydrating agent. Herein we show that, in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide, the Burgess reagent efficiently and rapidly facilitates the oxidation of a broad range of primary and secondary alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones in excellent yields and under mild conditions, and can be combined with other transformations (e.g., Wittig olefinations). A mechanism similar to those described for the Pfitzner-Moffatt and Swern oxidations is proposed.

- Method for preparing alicyclic ketone by catalytic oxidation of alicyclic alcohol compound
-
The invention provides a method for preparing alicyclic ketone by catalytic oxidation of an alicyclic alcohol compound. The method takes air or oxygen as an oxidant and uses a catalyst system consisting two components of aza-adamantane free radical of nitroxide and a vanadium oxygen compound, and the alicyclic alcohol compound is oxidated into the corresponding alicyclic ketone with high selectivity at 50 to 120 DEG C. Compared with 2,2,6,6,-tetramethyl piperidine free radical of nitroxide, the aza-adamantane free radical of nitroxide has smaller influence of steric hindrance in a catalytic oxidation secondary alcohol reaction, and the catalyst system consisting of the vanadium oxygen compound has higher alicyclic alcohol oxidating efficiency. Compared with the conventional stoichiometric chemistry oxidation methods such as manganese dioxide, chromium trioxide and sodium hypochlorite, the method provided by the invention has the characteristics of few side products, mild reaction conditions, small environmental pollution and the like, and has very high practicability and economical efficiency.

- Anti-Markovnikov Oxidation of β-Alkyl Styrenes with H2O as the Terminal Oxidant
-
Oxygenation of alkenes is one of the most straightforward routes for the construction of carbonyl compounds. Wacker oxidation provides a broadly useful strategy to convert the mineral oil into higher value-added carbonyl chemicals. However, the conventional Wacker chemistry remains problematic, such as the poor activity for internal alkenes, the lack of anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity, and the high cost and chemical waste resulted from noble metal catalysts and stoichiometric oxidant. Here, we describe an unprecedented dehydrogenative oxygenation of β-alkyl styrenes and their derivatives with water under external-oxidant-free conditions by utilizing the synergistic effect of photocatalysis and proton-reduction catalysis that can address these challenges. This dual catalytic system possesses the single anti-Markovnikov selectivity due to the property of the visible-light-induced alkene radical cation intermediate.

Some ferrous compounds (e.g., 2-Fe, FeCl2) were shown to catalyze C-arylation of {(2,6-iPr2C6H3)(1-cHexenyl)N}Li with PhBr, but the reaction was variable. Structural characterizations of 1-Cr, 2-Fe, and 3-Co are reported.

- Effective hydrodeoxygenation of dibenzofuran by a bimetallic catalyst in water
-
Effective hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of dibenzofuran (DBF) catalyzed by a bimetallic nickel/platinum (Ni/Pt) catalyst in water was demonstrated at 200 °C and 1.2 MPa hydrogen (H2) pressure. The bimetallic catalysts prepared by a wet chemical method exhibit prominent activity that overcomes the limitations of use of a single Ni or Pt metal catalyst. The yield of HDO products can be up to 90%. Reaction results indicate that the conversion of DBF was affected by the reaction temperature and H2 pressure. The deoxygenation selectivity was strongly dependent on reaction temperature. The reaction pathway is also proposed.

- Protonation of silylenol ether via excited state proton transfer catalysis
-
We demonstrate the photocatalytic protonation of a silylenol ether using 7-bromo-2-naphthol as an ESPT catalyst with phenol as the sacrificial proton source. Greater than 95% conversion is achieved with 1 mol% catalyst. The reaction cycle is dependent on the significantly increased acidity of the catalyst in the excited state as well as the long lifetime for the triplet excited state of 7-bromo-2-naphthol. The reaction does not occur in the absence of light (367 nm) and can readily be controlled by light intensity modulation. We also demonstrate that a 72% reaction yield can be obtained with unsubstituted naphthol as the catalyst by coupling triplet energy transfer, via a visible light absorbing (445 nm) sensitizer, into the catalytic cycle. These results open the door to an entirely new class of sensitized photocatalytic reactions that harness the excited state acidity of ESPT dyes.

Using a catalytic amount of NaI and a stoichiometric oxidant Oxone@, a convenient procedure has been developed for the catalytic oxidative 1,2-shift of arylalkenes in CH3CN/H2O at room temperature, which provides the corresponding α-aryl ketones in moderate to good yields. In this protocol, sodium iodide is first oxidized into hypoiodous acid, which reacts with arylalkene to afford iodohydrin. Then, the iodohydrin is transformed into the α-aryl ketone via an oxidative 1,2-shift rearrangement.

- Synthesis and chiral recognition of helical poly(phenylacetylene)s bearing L-phenylglycinol and its phenylcarbamates as pendants
-
A series of novel stereoregular one-handed helical poly(phenylacetylene) derivatives (PPA-1 and PPA-1a-g) bearing L-phenylglycinol and its phenylcarbamate residues as pendants was synthesized for use as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for HPLC, and their chiral recognition abilities were evaluated using 13 racemates. The phenylcarbamate residues include an unsubstituted phenyl, three chloro-substituted phenyls (3-Cl, 4-Cl, 3,5-Cl2), and three methyl-substituted phenyls (3-CH3, 4-CH3, 3,5-(CH3)2). The acidity of the phenylcarbamate N-H proton and the hydrogen bonds formed between the N-H groups of the phenylcarbamate residues were dependent on the type, position, and the number of substituents on the phenylcarbamate residues. The chiral recognition abilities of these polymers significantly depended on the dynamic helical conformation of the main chain with more or less regularly arranged pendants. The chiral recognition abilities seem to be improved by the introduction of substituents on the phenylcarbamate residues, and PPA-1d bearing the more acidic N-H groups due to the 3,5-dichloro substituents, exhibited a higher chiral recognition than the others. PPA-1d showed an efficient chiral recognition for some racemates, and baseline separation was possible for racemates 5, 11, 12, and 15.

- Synthesis and Enantioseparation Ability of Xylan Bisphenylcarbamate Derivatives as Chiral Stationary Phases in HPLC
-
Ten novel xylan bisphenylcarbamate derivatives bearing meta- and para-substituents on their phenyl groups were synthesized and their chiral recognition abilities were evaluated as the chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) after coating them on macroporous silica. The chiral recognition abilities of these CSPs depended on the nature, position, and number of the substituents on the phenyl moieties. The introduction of an electron-donating group was more attractive than an electron-withdrawing group to improve the chiral recognition ability of the xylan phenylcarbamate derivatives. Among the CSPs discussed in this study, xylan bis(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-based CSP seems to possess the highest resolving power for many racemates, and the meta-substituted CSPs showed relatively better chiral recognition than the para-substituted ones. For some racemates, the xylan bis(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) derivative exhibited higher enantioselectivity than the CSP based on cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate).

- Influence of Helical Structure on Chiral Recognition of Poly(phenylacetylene)s Bearing Phenylcarbamate Residues of L -Phenylglycinol and Amide Linage as Pendants
-
Four poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPA-1, PPA-2, PPA-3, PPA-4) bearing phenylcarbamate residues of L-phenylglycinol and amide linkage as pendants were prepared to be used as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the influences of coating solvents, dimethylformamide (DMF) and tetrahydrofuran (THF), which were used for coating the polymers on silica gel, on the helical structure of the polymers and their chiral recognition abilities were investigated. The structure analysis of PPA-1, PPA-2, PPA-3, PPA-4 by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), size exclusion chromatography (SEC), optical rotation, and circular dichroism (CD) spectra indicated that the polymers possess the cis-transoidal structure with dynamic helical conformation. The polymers in THF seem to have shorter conjugated helical main chains along with a tighter twist conformation than those in DMF. The chiral recognition abilities of PPA-1, PPA-2, PPA-3, PPA-4 with the different helical structures induced by the coating solvents were evaluated as the CSPs in HPLC. The helical structures of PPA-1, PPA-2, PPA-3, PPA-4 induced with THF are preferable for chiral recognition for some racemates compared to those induced with DMF, and higher chiral recognition abilities of PPA-1, PPA-2, PPA-3, PPA-4 were achieved using THF.

- Highly enantioselective organocatalytic oxidative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols using chiral alkoxyamines as precatalysts: Catalyst structure, active species, and substrate scope
-
The development and characterization of enantioselective organocatalytic oxidative kinetic resolution (OKR) of racemic secondary alcohols using chiral alkoxyamines as precatalysts are described. A number of chiral alkoxyamines have been synthesized, and their structure-enantioselectivity correlation study in OKR has led us to identify a promising precatalyst, namely, 7-benzyl-3-n-butyl-4-oxa-5-azahomoadamantane, which affords various chiral aliphatic secondary alcohols (ee up to >99%, krel up to 296). In a mechanistic study, chlorine-containing oxoammonium species were identified as the active species generated in situ from the alkoxyamine precatalyst, and it was revealed that the chlorine atom is crucial for high reactivity and enantioselectivity. The present OKR is the first successful example applicable to various unactivated aliphatic secondary alcohols, including heterocyclic alcohols with high enantioselectivity, the synthetic application of which is demonstrated by the synthesis of a bioactive compound.

- Mechanistic insight into aerobic alcohol oxidation using NOx-nitroxide catalysis based on catalyst structure-activity relationships
-
The mechanism of an NOx-assisted, nitroxide(nitroxyl radical)-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of alcohols was investigated using a set of sterically and electronically modified nitroxides (i.e., TEMPO, AZADO (1), 5-F-AZADO (2), 5,7-DiF-AZADO (3), 5-MeO-AZADO (4), 5,7-DiMeO-AZADO (5), oxa-AZADO (6), TsN-AZADO (7), and DiAZADO (8)). The motivation for the present study stemmed from our previous observation that the introduction of an F atom at a remote position from the nitroxyl radical moiety on the azaadamantane nucleus effectively enhanced the catalytic activity under typical NOx-mediated aerobic-oxidation conditions. The kinetic profiles of the azaadamantane-N-oxyl-[AZADO (1)-, 5-F-AZADO (2)-, and 5,7-DiF-AZADO (3)]-catalyzed aerobic oxidations were closely investigated, revealing that AZADO (1) showed a high initial reaction rate compared to 5-F-AZADO (2) and 5,7-DiF-AZADO (3); however, AZADO-catalyzed oxidation exhibited a marked slowdown, resulting in ~90% conversion, whereas 5-F-AZADO-catalyzed oxidation smoothly reached completion without a marked slowdown. The reasons for the marked slowdown and the role of the fluoro group are discussed. Oxa-AZADO (6), TsN-AZADO (7), and DiAZADO (8) were designed and synthesized to confirm their comparable catalytic efficiency to that of 5-F-AZADO (2), providing supporting evidence for the electronic effect on the catalytic efficiency of the heteroatoms under NOx-assisted aerobic-oxidation conditions.
