Crotonaldehyde hydrogenation by gold supported on TiO2: Structure sensitivity and mechanism
Zanella, Rodolfo,Louis, Catherine,Giorgio, Suzanne,Touroude, Raymonde
, p. 328 - 339 (2004)
The catalytic properties of two series of Au/TiO2 catalysts prepared by deposition-precipitation with NaOH (DP NaOH) (～3 wt%) and by deposition-precipitation with urea (DP Urea) (～8 wt%) were evaluated for the reaction of crotonaldehyde hydrogenation at atmospheric pressure. There is no difference in activity (molgAu-1s-1) and selectivity between the DP Urea and DP NaOH samples for a given activation treatment. This is due to the fact that the DP Urea and DP NaOH samples exhibit a similar gold particle size distribution, although the gold loading in DP Urea catalysts is much higher than in DP NaOH. The DP Urea samples were reduced under H2 at different temperatures (120-500°C) or treated in air at 300°C with various flow rates, to vary the average particle size within a large range, 1.7 to 8.7 nm. The selectivity to crotyl alcohol (selective hydrogenation of the carbonyl bond), in the 5-50% conversion range, is high, 60-70 %, and is independent of the reduction temperature, and almost constant as a function of the particle size. In contrast, the TOF depends on the gold particle size, drastically increasing when the gold particle size is ～2 nm. These characteristic features of Au/TiO2 catalysts in this reaction are compared with those of Pt/TiO2. The possible adsorption modes of crotonaldehyde are discussed. Hydrogen dissociation is proposed to be the rate-determining step, and to take place on the low-coordinated atoms of the gold particles.
Using NMR to determine the relative stereochemistry of 7,7-diaryl-8,8′-dimethylbutan-1-ol lignans
Davidson, Samuel J.,Rye, Claire E.,Barker, David
, p. 138 - 142 (2015)
Due to their linear, freely rotatable, structure many natural 7,7-diaryl-8,8′-dimethylbutan-7′-ol lignans are reported without any stereochemical assignment. Analysis of synthetic 8,8′-dimethylbutanol lignans and analogues reveals significant differences between the NMR data of syn- and anti-isomers. This information was then used to determine the relative stereochemistry of the C-8 and C-8′ methyl groups in previously undefined natural products.

Alkyne aminopalladation reactions starting from tosylamides are reported. The emerging vinylic Pd species are converted either in an intramolecular Heck reaction with olefinic units or in an intermolecular Suzuki reaction by using boronic acids exhibiting broad functional group tolerance. Tetra(hetero)substituted tosylated enamines are obtained in a simple one-pot process.

Daptomycin (DAP) is a calcium (Ca2+)-dependent FDA-approved antibiotic drug for the treatment of Gram-positive infections. It possesses a complex pharmacophore hampering derivatization and/or synthesis of analogues. To mimic the Ca2+-binding effect, we used a chemoenzymatic approach to modify the tryptophan (Trp) residue of DAP and synthesize kinetically characterized and structurally elucidated regiospecific Trp-modified DAP analogues. We demonstrated that the modified DAPs are several times more active than the parent molecule against antibiotic-susceptible and antibiotic-resistant Gram-positive bacteria. Strikingly, and in contrast to the parent molecule, the DAP derivatives do not rely on calcium or any additional elements for activity.

Enantiopure (P)4- and (M)4-configured alleno-acetylenic cage (AAC) receptors offer a highly defined interior for the complexation and structure elucidation of small molecule fragments of the stereochemically complex chlorosulfolipid danicalipin A. Solution (NMR), solid state (X-ray), and theoretical investigations of the formed host-guest complexes provide insight into the conformational preferences of 14 achiral and chiral derivatives of the danicalipin A chlorohydrin core in a confined, mostly hydrophobic environment, extending previously reported studies in polar solvents. The conserved binding mode of the guests permits deciphering the effect of functional group replacements on Gibbs binding energies ΔG. A strong contribution of conformational energies toward the binding affinities is revealed, which explains why the denser packing of larger apolar domains of the guests does not necessarily lead to higher association. Enantioselective binding of chiral guests, with energetic differences ΔΔG293 K up to 0.7 kcal mol-1 between diastereoisomeric complexes, is explained by hydrogen- and halogen-bonding, as well as dispersion interactions. Calorimetric studies (ITC) show that the stronger binding of one enantiomer is accompanied by an increased gain in enthalpy ΔH but at the cost of a larger entropic penalty TΔS stemming from tighter binding.

We report herein an unprecedented protocol for radical cyclization of aldehydes with pendant alkenes via synergistic photoredox, cobaloxime, and amine catalysis. The transformation was achieved in the absence of external oxidants, providing a variety of 5-, 6-, and 7-membered ring products with alkene transposition in satisfactory yields. The reaction exhibits wide functional group compatibility and occurs under mild conditions with extrusion of H2.

In contrast to methyl and isobutyl phenyl sulfone, condensing under basic conditions higher alkyl sulfones and trans-2,3-epoxy-butanol 13c (or its O-benzyl and O-silyl derivatives) proved unfeasible, a difficulty that was overcome by using mono ethers of trans-2,3-epoxy-butane-1,4-diol 35c as the electrophilic reagents. Thus, adding excess BuLi to a mixture of the benzyl ether 35b and sulfone ent-12a, a stereodiad sulfone prepared in pure state from the R-Roche ester, via the O-trityloxy-sulfone ent-12c (X-ray), gave, after elimination by column chromatography of the side-formed regioisomer, a diolsulfone that was next converted to sulfone 20 by means of conventional functional-group modifications. Reacting like-wise this sulfone with the parent O-PMB derivative 35a, and then proceeding to the same purification process and function adjustment, delivered the title fragment in virtually pure state.
New Zinc Catalyst for Hydrosilylation of Carbonyl Compounds
Alshakova, Iryna D.,Nikonov, Georgii I.
, p. 3305 - 3312 (2019/08/28)
A new zinc complex was synthesized and applied in the catalytic hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds. Optimization of the reaction conditions showed that the presence a substoichiometric amount of methanol accelerates the process significantly. The reaction can proceed at very low catalyst load (down to 0.1 molpercent) under mild reaction conditions. The reaction tolerates the presence of C=C bonds, and thus can be useful for the synthesis of allylic alcohols from α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones.

Vapor-phase catalytic dehydration of butanediols (BDOs) such as 1,3-, 1,4-, and 2,3-butanediol was investigated over yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (YSZ) catalysts as well as monoclinic zirconia (MZ). BDOs were converted to unsaturated alcohols with some by-products over YSZ and MZ. YSZ is superior to MZ for these reactions in a view point of selective formation of unsaturated alcohols. Calcination temperature of YSZ significantly affected the products selectivity as well as the conversion of BDOs: high selectivity to unsaturated alcohols was obtained over the YSZ calcined at high temperatures over 800 °C. In the conversion of 1,4-butanediol at 325 °C, the highest 3-buten-1-ol selectivity of 75.3% was obtained over the YSZ calcined at 1050 °C, whereas 2,3-butanediol was less reactive than the other BDOs. In the dehydration of 1,3-butanediol at 325 °C, in particular, it was found that a YSZ catalyst with a Y2O3 content of 3.2 wt.% exhibited an excellent stable catalytic activity: the highest selectivity to unsaturated alcohols such as 2-buten-1-ol and 3-buten-2-ol over 98% was obtained at a conversion of 66%. Structures of active sites for the dehydration of 1,3-butanediol were discussed using a crystal model of tetragonal ZrO2 and a probable model structure of active site was proposed. The well-crystalized YSZ inevitably has oxygen defect sites on the most stable surface of tetragonal ZrO2 (101). The defect site, which exposes three cations such as Zr4+ and Y3+, is surrounded by six O2? anions. The selective dehydration of 1,3-butanediol to produce 3-buten-2-ol over the YSZ could be explained by tridentate interactions followed by sequential dehydration: the position-2 hydrogen is firstly abstracted by a basic O2? anion and then the position-1 hydroxyl group is subsequently or simultaneously abstracted by an acidic Y3+ cation. Another OH group at position 3 plays an important role of anchoring 1,3-butanediol to the catalyst surface. Thus, the selective dehydration of 1,3-butanediol could proceed via the speculative base-acid-concerted mechanism.

Ene reductases from the Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE) family reduce the C=C double bond in α,β-unsaturated compounds bearing an electron-withdrawing group, for example, a carbonyl group. This asymmetric reduction has been exploited for biocatalysis. Going beyond its canonical function, we show that members of this enzyme family can also catalyze the formation of C?C bonds. α,β-Unsaturated aldehydes and ketones containing an additional electrophilic group undergo reductive cyclization. Mechanistically, the two-electron-reduced enzyme cofactor FMN delivers a hydride to generate an enolate intermediate, which reacts with the internal electrophile. Single-site replacement of a crucial Tyr residue with a non-protic Phe or Trp favored the cyclization over the natural reduction reaction. The new transformation enabled the enantioselective synthesis of chiral cyclopropanes in up to >99 % ee.
