- London Dispersion Interactions Rather than Steric Hindrance Determine the Enantioselectivity of the Corey–Bakshi–Shibata Reduction
-
The well-known Corey–Bakshi–Shibata (CBS) reduction is a powerful method for the asymmetric synthesis of alcohols from prochiral ketones, often featuring high yields and excellent selectivities. While steric repulsion has been regarded as the key director of the observed high enantioselectivity for many years, we show that London dispersion (LD) interactions are at least as important for enantiodiscrimination. We exemplify this through a combination of detailed computational and experimental studies for a series of modified CBS catalysts equipped with dispersion energy donors (DEDs) in the catalysts and the substrates. Our results demonstrate that attractive LD interactions between the catalyst and the substrate, rather than steric repulsion, determine the selectivity. As a key outcome of our study, we were able to improve the catalyst design for some challenging CBS reductions.

- Basicities and Nucleophilicities of Pyrrolidines and Imidazolidinones Used as Organocatalysts
-
The Br?nsted basicities pKaH (i.e., pKa of the conjugate acids) of 32 pyrrolidines and imidazolidinones, commonly used in organocatalytic reactions, have been determined photometrically in acetonitrile solution using CH acids as indicators. Most investigated pyrrolidines have basicities in the range 16 aH aH aH 12.6) and the 2-imidazoliummethyl-substituted pyrrolidine A21 (pKaH 11.1) are outside the typical range for pyrrolidines with basicities comparable to those of imidazolidinones. Kinetics of the reactions of these 32 organocatalysts with benzhydrylium ions (Ar2CH+) and structurally related quinone methides, common reference electrophiles for quantifying nucleophilic reactivities, have been measured photometrically. Most reactions followed second-order kinetics, first order in amine and first order in electrophile. More complex kinetics were observed for the reactions of imidazolidinones and several pyrrolidines carrying bulky 2-substituents, due to reversibility of the initial attack of the amines at the electrophiles followed by rate-determining deprotonation of the intermediate ammonium ions. In the presence of 2,4,6-collidine or 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl-pyridine, the deprotonation of the initial adducts became faster, which allowed the rate of the attack of the amines at the electrophiles to be determined. The resulting second-order rate constants k2 followed the correlation log?k2(20 °C) = sN(N + E), where electrophiles are characterized by one parameter (E) and nucleophiles are characterized by the two solvent-dependent parameters N and sN. In this way, the organocatalysts A1-A32 were integrated in our comprehensive nucleophilicity scale, which compares n-, -, and σ-nucleophiles. The nucleophilic reactivities of the title compounds correlate only poorly with their Br?nsted basicities.

- Intramolecular [2+2] Photocycloaddition of Cyclic Enones: Selectivity Control by Lewis Acids and Mechanistic Implications
-
The intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition of 3-alkenyl-2-cycloalkenones was performed in an enantioselective fashion (nine representative examples, 54–86 % yield, 76–96 % ee) upon irradiation at λ=366 nm in the presence of an AlBr3-activated oxazaborolidine as the Lewis acid. An extensive screening of proline-derived oxazaborolidines showed that the enantioface differentiation depends strongly on the nature of the aryl group at the 3-position of the heterocycle. DFT calculations of the Lewis acid–substrate complex indicate that attractive dispersion forces may be responsible for a change of the binding mode. The catalytic [2+2] photocycloaddition was shown to proceed on the triplet hypersurface with a quantum yield of 0.05. The positive effect of Lewis acids on the outcome of a given intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition was illustrated by optimizing the key step in a concise total synthesis of the sesquiterpene (±)-italicene.

- Isosteric expansion of the structural diversity of chiral ligands: Design and application of proline-based N,N′-dioxide ligands for copper-catalyzed enantioselective Henry reactions
-
Chiral N,N′-dioxide catalysts were designed based on isosteric approach. Using L-Proline as the starting material, a variety of chiral N,N′-dioxide ligands were obtained via conventional functional group transformations and were utilized in asymmetric Henry reactions between nitromethane and aromatic aldehydes. Using the N,N′-dioxide-copper(II) complexes as the catalysts, asymmetric Henry reaction produced the corresponding β-nitroalcohols in up to 66% yields and up to 83% ee's under mild conditions. The reactions were easy to carry out, and special care such as air or moisture-free conditions was not required.

Congeneric complexes (S)-{?O}MCH2SiMe3 (M=Al, 3; Ga, 5; In, 6) of the triel metals supported by an enantiomerically pure phenolato-alkoxo {?O}2- dianionic tridentate ligand derived from prolinol, along with their chloro derivatives, have been prepared and characterised. The aluminium-alkyl species (S)-{?O}AlMe and 3 form four-coordinate complexes with slightly distorted tetrahedral geometries, whereas the geometry in the Lewis acidic five-coordinate (S)-{?O}GaCl·THF is a distorted trigonal bipyramid. These alkyl complexes do not react cleanly, if at all, with protic sources. The indium(III) compound 6, which is for instance inert towards iPrOH or BnOH even after hours at 70°C, catalyses at 95°C the controlled, immortal ring-opening polymerisation of racemic lactide (up to 1000 equivalents) in the presence of excess BnOH as a chain transfer agent. It affords atactic, monodisperse polylactides with predictable molecular weights.

- Organocatalytic enantioselective α-hydroxymethylation of aldehydes: Mechanistic aspects and optimization
-
Further studies of the direct enantioselective α-hydroxymethylation of aldehydes employing the α,α-diarylprolinol trimethylsilyl ether class of organocatalysts are described. This process has proven efficient for access to β-hydroxycarboxylic acids and δ-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated esters from aldehydes in generally good yields, excellent enantioselectivity, and compatibility with a broad range of functional groups in the aldehyde. The goal of these studies was to identify the critical reaction variables that influence the yield and enantioselectivity of the α-hydroxymethylation process such as catalyst structure, pH of the medium, purity of the reactants and reagents particularly with respect to the presence of acidic impurities, and the nature of the buffer, along with the standard variables including solvent, time, temperature and mixing efficiency. The previously identified intermediate lactol has been further characterized and its reactivity examined. These studies have led to identification of the most critical variables translating directly into improved substrate scope, reproducibility, enantioselectivity, and yields.

- Dual catalyst system for asymmetric alternating copolymerization of carbon dioxide and cyclohexene oxide with chiral aluminum complexes: Lewis base as catalyst activator and lewis acid as monomer activator
-
Optically active aluminum complexes such as Schiff base, binuclear β-ketoiminate, and bisprolinol complexes were found to promote asymmetric alternating copolymerizations of carbon dioxide and cyclohexene oxide. The aluminum Schiff base complexes-tetraethylammonium acetate afforded isotactic poly(cyclohexene carbonate)s with low enantioselectivities. Lewis bases having two coordinating sites were utilized to enhance activity and selectivity based on the binuclear structure of the aluminum β-ketoiminate clarified by X-ray crystallography. [2gAlMe]2-bulky bisimidazole produced the alternating copolymer with high enantioselectivity (62% ee). The polymerization is considered to preferentially proceed at more crowded, enantioselective site owing to coordination of bulky Lewis bases to aluminums in less enantioselective sites. 32AlMe-2-picoline also exhibited a high enantioselectivity (67% ee). Methylaluminum bis(2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenoxide) was applied to perform faster and more enantioselective copolymerizations at low temperature (82% ee). The asymmetric copolymerizations were found to be significantly dependent on size of epoxide, temperature, and kind/amount of activators.

Chiral allenes are readily accessed in a single pot operation in the reaction of terminal alkynes, aldehydes, chiral secondary amines, and zinc halides in good yields (up to 77% yield) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) in toluene at 120 °C. The reaction proceeds through initial formation of chiral propargylamine intermediates with creation of a new stereogenic center and subsequent chirality transfer via an intramolecular hydride shift to produce chiral allenes with high enantiomeric purities.

- Chiral aminophosphines as catalysts for enantioselective double-michael indoline syntheses
-
The bisphosphine-catalyzed double-Michael addition of dinucleophiles to electron-deficient acetylenes is an efficient process for the synthesis of many nitrogencontaining heterocycles. Because the resulting heterocycles contain at least one stereogenic center, this double-Michael reaction would be even more useful if an asymmetric variant of the reaction were to be developed. Aminophosphines can also facilitate the double-Michael reaction and chiral amines are more readily available in Nature and synthetically; therefore, in this study we prepared several new chiral aminophosphines. When employed in the asymmetric double-Michael reaction between ortho-tosylamidophenyl malonate and 3-butyn-2-one, the chiral aminophosphines produced indolines in excellent yields with moderate asymmetric induction.

- Design and evaluation of inclusion resolutions, based on readily available host compounds
-
Resolution of enantiomers through selective crystallisation of diastereomeric inclusion compounds can extend the scope of traditional racemate resolution beyond salt forming compounds. To assess the practical value of this approach the literature was carefully screened and promising results were checked. Also an extensive range of new inclusion hosts suitable for resolution processes, derived from simple hydroxy- and amino acids were prepared and tested. Several techniques, including the Dutch Resolution approach utilizing mixtures of resolving agents, were applied. Over 70 potential resolving agents were tested in combinations with 34 racemates (over 100 racemates if literature results are included). Reproducibility of literature results was found to be problematic. Also the number of successful new resolutions found was very limited: only two efficient resolutions out of 1200 combinations of racemate and resolving agent tested in over 10.000 experiments! Crystal studies of representative combinations of resolving agents and inclusion compounds revealed some of the causes for the low rate of success in inclusion resolution. Compared to diastereomeric salts, the absence of strong electrostatic interactions substantially reduces the probability of forming crystals including both components. Molecular structure features allowing formation of intricate intramolecular and intermolecular H-bond networks were found to be responsible for inclusion crystal formation, and for the quality of the ensuing resolution through selective diastereomer crystallisation, in the successful cases. Whereas diastereomeric salt resolution continues to be of scientific and industrial interest, inclusion resolution should be viewed as of very limited scope; useful in specific instances, but lacking the wide applicability of classical resolution.

- Asymmetric alternating copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide and CO2 with dimeric zinc complexes
-
Dimeric zinc complex 2a [= Et2Zn2(1a)2] has been synthesized by the reaction of Et2Zn and (S)-diphenyl(pyrrolidin-2-yl)methanol (1a-H). X-ray crystallography revealed that the alkoxide ligand replaced one of the two ethyl groups of Et2Zn and formed a five-membered chelate ring through a Zn - N dative bond. Two zinc centers were bridged by oxygen atoms to form a Zn2O2 four-membered ring with a syn relationship between the two ethyl groups on the zinc centers. Dimeric zinc complex 2a was an active catalyst for asymmetric alternating copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide and CO2. An MALDI-TOF mass spectrum of the obtained copolymer showed that the copolymerization was initiated by the insertion of CO2 into Zn - alkoxide to give [(S)-diphenyl(pyrroridin-2-ly)methoxy] - [C(=O)O - (1,2-cyclohexylene) - O]n -H (copolymer I), including chiral ligand 1a as an initiating group. Complex 3a-OEt (= EtZn(1a)2ZnOEt), in which an ethoxy group replaced one of the two ethyl groups in 2a, also polymerized cyclohexene oxide and CO2 with higher catalytic activity and enantioselectivity than 2a and afforded EtO - [C(=O)O - (1,2- cyclohexylene) - O]n - H (= copolymer III), including an ethoxy group as an initiating group. Throughout the studies, dimeric zinc species are indicated to be the active species for the copolymerization. It is also depicted that the substituent on the aryl moiety in diaryl(pyrrolidin-2-yl)methanol 2b - e influenced the polymerization activity.

By using extended reaction periods boronic acid residues that do not take part in the couplings are simply lost by hydrolysis. The polymer-supported (PS) α,α-diphenyl-L-prolinols were used to catalyse reductions of several prochiral ketones with borane in tetrahydrofuran at 22 °C. The expected secondary alcohols were obtained in high chemical yields and ees were generally in the range 79-97 %. One PS catalyst was recycled 14 times without loss of stereochemical performance.

- Oxazaborolidines as functional monomers: Ketone reduction using polymer-supported Corey, Bakshi, and Shibata catalysts
-
The first two polymer-supported versions of the Corey, Bakshi, and Shibata (CBS) catalyst have been prepared. Functional monomers based structurally upon the original B-methylated catalyst have been used to prepare catalytic polymers containing the CBS moiety bound both in a pendant fashion and in the form of a cross-link. Enantioselective reductions of two prochiral ketones have been carried out using the original catalyst in the solution phase as well as the two solid-state systems. While the pendant-bound system shows reduced stereoselectivity, the cross-linked version affords enantioselectivities almost identical to those of the solution-phase model.

- Lanthanide Lewis acid-mediated enantioselective conjugate radical additions
-
(figure presented) Lanthanide triflates along with proline-derived ligands have been found to be efficient catalysts for enantioselective conjugate addition of nucleophilic radicals to enoates. N-Acyl oxazolidinones, when used as achiral additives, gave meaningful enhancements in the ees for the product.

- Complex induced proximity effects: Enantioselective syntheses based on asymmetric deprotonations of N-Boc-pyrrolidines
-
Lithiation of N-Boc-pyrrolidine (6) with sec-butyllithium (s-BuLi)/(-)-sparteine (14) effects an asymmetric deprotonation to give (S)-2-lithio-N-Boc-pyrrolidine ((S)-22), which reacts with electrophiles to provide the 2-substituted N-Boc-pyrrolidines 7-11 and 13 in enantiomeric excesses which generally are >90%. In the lithiation-silylation of 6 the chiral ligand 15 gives 7 with a lower enantiomeric excess and chiral ligands 16 and 17 give 7 with lower and opposite enantiomeric excesses than that obtained with 14. Diastereoselective amplification operates in a sequential lithiation-substitution sequence to provide the conversion of (S)-2-methyl-N-Boc-pyrrolidine ((S)-10) of 95% enantiomeric excess with s-BuLi/14 to (S,S)-2,5-dimethyl-N-Boc-pyrrolidine ((S,S)-19) with >99% enantiomeric excess. Synthetic preparations of a useful chiral ligand, (R)-α,α-diphenyl-2-pyrrolidine ((R)-20), and a useful chiral auxiliary, (S,S)-2,5-dimethylpyrrolidine hydrochloride ((S,S)-21), are reported. Reactions of racemic and enantioenriched 2-lithio-N-Boc-pyrrolidine and investigation of sequential lithiations-deuterations of 6 establish the reaction pathway to be asymmetric deprotonation rather than asymmetric substitution. A rationalization for the enantioselective deprotonation is provided.
