- Scope and mechanism of the Pt-catalyzed enantioselective diboration of monosubstituted alkenes
-
The Pt-catalyzed enantioselective diboration of terminal alkenes can be accomplished in an enantioselective fashion in the presence of chiral phosphonite ligands. Optimal procedures and the substrate scope of this transformation are fully investigated. Reaction progress kinetic analysis and kinetic isotope effects suggest that the stereodefining step in the catalytic cycle is olefin migratory insertion into a Pt-B bond. Density functional theory analysis, combined with other experimental data, suggests that the insertion reaction positions platinum at the internal carbon of the substrate. A stereochemical model for this reaction is advanced that is in line both with these features and with the crystal structure of a Pt-ligand complex.

- Shell cross-linked micelle-based nanoreactors for the substrate-selective hydrolytic kinetic resolution of epoxides
-
Shell cross-linked micelles (SCMs) containing Co(III)-salen cores were prepared from amphiphilic poly(2-oxazoline) triblock copolymers. The catalytic activity of these nanoreactors for the hydrolytic kinetic resolution of various terminal epoxides was investigated. The SCM catalysts showed high catalytic efficiency and, more significantly, substrate selectivity based on the hydrophobic nature of the epoxide. Moreover, because of the nanoscale particle size and the high stability, the catalyst could be recovered easily by ultrafiltration and reused with high activity for eight cycles.

- One-pot conversions of olefins to cyclic carbonates and secondary allylic and homoallylic amines to cyclic carbamates
-
Sequential treatment of a 1,2-disubstituted olefin with m-CPBA, Br 3CCO2H, and DBU results in the one-pot, stereospecific conversion of the olefin to the corresponding disubstituted cyclic carbonate (1,3-dioxolan-2-one). The reaction proceeds via an initial epoxidation followed by SN2-type epoxide ring opening by Br3CCO2H and subsequent base-promoted carbonate formation upon elimination of bromoform. When a solution of a secondary allylic or homoallylic amine and Br 3CCO2H is sequentially treated with m-CPBA then DBU, the product of the reaction is a cyclic carbamate (1,3-oxazolidin-2-one or 1,3-oxazinan-2-one).

- Methanesulfonamide: A cosolvent and a general acid catalyst in sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylations
-
To obtain information about the effect that methanesulfonamide has in the hydrolysis step in Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, a series of aliphatic and conjugated aromatic olefins were dihydroxylated with and without methanesulfonamide. The hypothesis in this study was that methanesulfonamide is a cosolvent that aids in the transfer of the hydroxide ions from the water phase to the organic phase. A plot of t90% versus the computational partition coefficient clog P of the intermediate osmate ester of nonterminal aliphatic olefins revealed that the polarity of the intermediate osmate ester has a significant effect on the reaction time and methanesulfonamide effect. The more polar the intermediate osmate ester, the faster is the reaction without methanesulfonamide and the smaller the accelerating methanesulfonamide effect. Methanesulfonamide had no accelerating effect in the asymmetric dihydroxylation of short chain terminal aliphatic olefins as a result of easier accessibility of terminal osmate ester groups to the water phase. A cosolvent hypothesis was found not to be valid in asymmetric dihydroxylations of conjugated aromatic olefins. In the reaction conditions used in Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, weakly acidic methanesulfonamide was found to be a general acid catalyst that protonates the intermediate osmate esters of conjugated aromatic olefins in the hydrolysis step.

- De novo sythesis of a D-galacturonic acid thioglycoside as key to the total synthesis of a glycosphingolipid from
-
A concise synthesis of a differentially protected D-galacturonic acid (D-GalA) thioglycoside and the construction of a potent immunomodulating glycosphingolipid are described. The key steps of the synthesis are an Evans aldol reaction between a C4 aldehyde and a PMB-protected glycolyloxazolidinone as well as a tandem-PMB-deprotection/cyclization to thioglycosides. The key glycosylation step is optimized by varying the anomeric leaving group, the activating agent, and the solvent system.

- Highly selective hydrolytic kinetic resolution of terminal epoxides catalyzed by chiral (salen)CoIII complexes. Practical synthesis of enantioenriched terminal epoxides and 1,2-diols
-
The hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of terminal epoxides catalyzed by chiral (salen)CoIII complex 1·OAc affords both recovered unreacted epoxide and 1,2-diol product in highly enantioenriched form. As such, the HKR provides general access to useful, highly enantioenriched chiral building blocks that are otherwise difficult to access, from inexpensive racemic materials. The reaction has several appealing features from a practical standpoint, including the use of H2O as a reactant and low loadings (0.2-2.0 mol %) of a recyclable, commercially available catalyst. In addition, the HKR displays extraordinary scope, as a wide assortment of sterically and electronically varied epoxides can be resolved to ≥ 99% ee. The corresponding 1,2-diols were produced in good-to-high enantiomeric excess using 0.45 equiv of H2O. Useful and general protocols are provided for the isolation of highly enantioenriched epoxides and diols, as well as for catalyst recovery and recycling. Selectivity factors (krel) were determined for the HKR reactions by measuring the product ee at ca. 20% conversion. In nearly all cases, krel values for the HKR exceed 50, and in several cases are well in excess of 200.
