An amphiphilic (salen)Co(III) complex is presented that accelerates the hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of epoxides almost 10 times faster than catalysts from commercially available sources. This was achieved by introducing hydrophobic chains that increase the rate of reaction in one of two ways – by enhancing cooperativity under homogeneous conditions, and increasing the interfacial area under biphasic reaction conditions. While numerous strategies have been employed to increase the efficiency of cooperative catalysts, the utilization of hydrophobic interactions is scarce. With the recent upsurge in green chemistry methods that conduct reactions ‘on water’ and at the oil-water interface, the introduction of hydrophobic interactions has potential to become a general strategy for enhancing the catalytic efficiency of cooperative catalytic systems.

A gene encoding halohydrin dehalogenase from an alphaproteobacterium (AbHHDH) was identified, cloned and over-expressed in Escherichia coli. AbHHDH was able to catalyze the stereoselective dehalogenation of prochiral and racemic halohydrins. It showed the highest enantioselectivity in the dehalogenation of 20?mM (R,S)-2-bromo-1-phenylethanol, which yielded (S)-2-bromo-1-phenylethanol with 99% ee and 34.5% yield. Moreover, AbHHDH catalyzed the azidolysis of epoxides with low to moderate (S)-enantioselectivity. The highest enantioselectivity (E = 18.6) was observed when (R,S)-benzyl glycidyl ether was used as the substrate. A sequential kinetic resolution catalyzed by HHDH was employed for the synthesis of chiral 1-chloro-3-phenoxy-2-propanol. We prepared enantiopure (S)-isomer with a high enantiopurity of ee > 99% and a yield of 30.7% (E-value: 21.3) by kinetic resolution of 20?mM substrate. The (S)-isomer with 99% ee readily obtained from 40 to 150?mM (R,S)-1-chloro-3-phenoxy-2-propanol. Taken together, the results of this study demonstrate the applicability of this HHDH for the production of optically active compounds. [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

Asymmetric synthesis of chiral epichlorohydrin (ECH) from 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol (1,3-DCP) using halohydrin dehalogenases (HHDHs) is of great value due to the 100% theoretical yield and high enantioselectivity. The vital problem in the asymmetric synthesis is to prepare optically pure ECH. In this study, key amino acid residues located at halide ion channels of HheC (P175S/W249P) (HheCPS) were modified to regulate the kinetic parameters. HheCPS I81W, F86N and V94R were constructed with the corresponding halide ion channels destroyed. The catalytically efficiencies (kcat/Km) of the three mutants exhibited 0.38-, 0.23- and 0.23-fold decrease toward (S)-ECH and the reverse reaction was significantly inhibited. As the results, (S)-ECH was synthesized with >99% enantiomeric excess (e.e.) and 63.42%, 67.08% and 57.01% yields, respectively, under 20 mM 1,3-DCP as substrate. To our knowledge, this is the first investigation of the molecule kinetic modification of HHDHs and also the first report for the biosynthesis of optically pure (S)-ECH from 1,3-DCP using HHDHs.

Three generations of Co(iii)-salen complexes containing electron-deficient aromatic moieties (acceptors) have been synthesized. When electron-rich aromatic compounds (donors) were introduced, these complexes were designed to form catalyst assemblies through aromatic donor-acceptor interaction. For all three generations of complexes, the addition of a proper donor led to higher catalytic efficiency in the hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of epichlorohydrin. The reaction rates are in the following order: Generation 3 > Generation 2 > Generation 1. The aromatic donor-acceptor interaction was verified by NMR spectroscopy and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy studies. These results demonstrated that aromatic donor-acceptor interaction can be a valuable driving force in the assembly of supramolecular catalysts.

Charge-neutral chiral hosts are attractive due to their ability to recognize a wide range of guest functionalities and support enantioselective processes. However, reports on such charge-neutral cages are very scarce in the literature. Here, we report an enantiomeric pair of tetrahedral Pd(ii) cages built from chiral tris(imido)phosphate trianions and oxalate linkers, which exhibit enantioselective separation capabilities for epichlorohydrin, β-butyrolactone, and 3-methyl- and 3-ethyl cyclopentanone.

Metal-organic cages (MOCs) as a new type of porous material with well-defined cavities were extensively pursued because of their relative ease of synthesis and their potential applications in host-guest chemistry, molecular recognition, separation, catalysis, gas storage, and drug delivery. Here, we first reported that a homochiral MOC [Zn3L2] is explored to fabricate [Zn3L2] coated capillary column for high-resolution gas chromatographic separation of a wide range of analytes, including n-alkanes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and positional isomers, especially for racemates. Various kinds of racemates such as alcohols, diols, epoxides, ethers, halohydrocarbons, and esters were separated with good enantioselectivity and reproducibility on the [Zn3L2] coated capillary column. The fabricated [Zn3L2] coated capillary column exhibited significant chiral recognition complementary to that of a commercial β-DEX 120 column and our recently reported homochiral porous organic cage CC3-R coated column. The results show that the homochiral MOCs will be very attractive as a new type of chiral selector in separation science.

New chiral macrocyclic cobalt(III) salen complexes were synthesized and used as catalyst for the asymmetric kinetic resolution (AKR) of terminal epoxides and glycidyl ethers with aromatic/aliphatic amines and water as nucleophiles. This is the first occasion where a Co(III) salen complex demonstrated its ability to catalyze AKR as well as hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) reactions. Excellent enantiomeric excesses of the epoxides, the corresponding amino alcohols and diols (upto 99%) with quantitative yields were achieved by using the chiral Co(III) salen complexes in dichloromethane at room temperature. This protocol was further extended for the synthesis of two important drug molecules, i.e., (S)-propranolol and (R)-naftopidil. The catalytic system was also explored for the synthesis of chirally pure diols and chiral cyclic carbonates using carbon dioxide as a greener renewable C1 source. The catalyst was recycled for upto 5 catalytic cycles with retention of enantioselectivity. (Figure presented.).

Several new chiral oligomers of spiro-salenCo(III)X (spiro = 1.1′-spirobiindane-7.7′-diol) complexes have been designed, synthesized, and characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared (IR), and elemental analyses, in which, the chiral spiro moieties are first introduced into a scaffold of chiral salenCo catalysts. They were used to catalyze the asymmetric cycloaddition of epoxides with carbon dioxide. Under very mild reaction conditions, a kinetic resolution of racemic epoxides with CO2 was smoothly initiated by these chiral oligomer catalysts with good enantioselectivities, which can be attributed to the match effect between chiral backbones of salen and spiro. High stability and easy recyclability are their major advantages.

Enantioselective biotransformation of prochiral 1,3-DCP by halohydrin dehalogenases (HHDHs) is particularly attractive since 100% yield of chiral epichlorohydrin (ECH) may be obtained. HheC mutant (P175S/W249P) displayed greatly improved enantiomeric excess (ee) of (S)-ECH from 5% to 95.3% in the catalyzed dehalogenation of 1,3-DCP at pH 8.0. (S)-ECH was enantioselectively biotransformed from 40 mM 1,3-DCP with 92.3% ee and 93.2% yield at pH 10.0. To increase the ee of (S)-ECH, the catalysis was carried out using HheC mutant coupled with epoxide hydrolase mutant and the maximum yield and ee of (S)-ECH reached 91.2% and > 99%.

The activation of inactive Jacobsen's chiral salen Co(ii) (salen = N,N′-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) compound is attained by dinuclear chiral salen Co(iii)-OTf complex formation with yttrium triflate. The yttrium metal not only displays a promoting effect on electron transfer, but also assists in forming two stereocentres of a Lewis acid complex with Co(iii)-OTf. We found that the binuclear Co-complex significantly enhanced reactivity and enantioselectivity in the hydrolytic kinetic resolution of terminal epoxides compared to its analogous monomer and kinetic data are also consistent with these results.
