- Catalytic asymmetric oxidative carbonylation-induced kinetic resolution of sterically hindered benzylamines to chiral isoindolinones
-
A highly enantioselective kinetic resolution of sterically hindered benzylamines has been achieved for the first time through transition-metal-catalyzed oxidative carbonylation, in which the new KR strategy offered a new approach to afford chiral isoindolinones (er up to 97?:?3) and the origin of chemoselectivity and stereoselectivity was confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

- Oxidation Under Reductive Conditions: From Benzylic Ethers to Acetals with Perfect Atom-Economy by Titanocene(III) Catalysis
-
Described here is a titanocene-catalyzed reaction for the synthesis of acetals and hemiaminals from benzylic ethers and benzylic amines, respectively, with pendant epoxides. The reaction proceeds by catalysis in single-electron steps. The oxidative addition comprises an epoxide opening. An H-atom transfer, to generate a benzylic radical, serves as a radical translocation step, and an organometallic oxygen rebound as a reductive elimination. The reaction mechanism was studied by high-level dispersion corrected hybrid functional DFT with implicit solvation. The low-energy conformational space was searched by the efficient CREST program. The stereoselectivity was deduced from the lowest lying benzylic radical structures and their conformations are controlled by hyperconjugative interactions and steric interactions between the titanocene catalyst and the aryl groups of the substrate. An interesting mechanistic aspect is that the oxidation of the benzylic center occurs under reducing conditions.

- Chiral benzimidazole derived bis-phenyl triazoles as chiroptical sensors for iodide and chiral amines
-
A series of chiral 2-hydroxy ethyl/benzyl benzimidazole based aryl triazole tweezers have been prepared using click chemistry in high yields. Chiral pool strategy has been used to obtain the benzimidazole-based tweezers in very high enantiomerically enriched form. The aryl triazole tweezers, S-(?)-5a and S-(+)-8a displayed a high degree of selectivity for iodide anion over other anions, including other halides. The aryl triazole tweezers, S-(?)-5a and S-(+)-8a display significant enantio-discrimination for chiral amines. The chiral recognition studies were carried out using UV and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. NMR analysis has been used for establishing the sites for ligation of the iodide anion.

- Ultra-small cobalt nanoparticles from molecularly-defined Co-salen complexes for catalytic synthesis of amines
-
We report the synthesis of in situ generated cobalt nanoparticles from molecularly defined complexes as efficient and selective catalysts for reductive amination reactions. In the presence of ammonia and hydrogen, cobalt-salen complexes such as cobalt(ii)-N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-phenylenediamine produce ultra-small (2-4 nm) cobalt-nanoparticles embedded in a carbon-nitrogen framework. The resulting materials constitute stable, reusable and magnetically separable catalysts, which enable the synthesis of linear and branched benzylic, heterocyclic and aliphatic primary amines from carbonyl compounds and ammonia. The isolated nanoparticles also represent excellent catalysts for the synthesis of primary, secondary as well as tertiary amines including biologically relevant N-methyl amines.

- General and selective synthesis of primary amines using Ni-based homogeneous catalysts
-
The development of base metal catalysts for industrially relevant amination and hydrogenation reactions by applying abundant and atom economical reagents continues to be important for the cost-effective and sustainable synthesis of amines which represent highly essential chemicals. In particular, the synthesis of primary amines is of central importance because these compounds serve as key precursors and central intermediates to produce value-added fine and bulk chemicals as well as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials. Here we report a Ni-triphos complex as the first Ni-based homogeneous catalyst for both reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with ammonia and hydrogenation of nitroarenes to prepare all kinds of primary amines. Remarkably, this Ni-complex enabled the synthesis of functionalized and structurally diverse benzylic, heterocyclic and aliphatic linear and branched primary amines as well as aromatic primary amines starting from inexpensive and easily accessible carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) and nitroarenes using ammonia and molecular hydrogen. This Ni-catalyzed reductive amination methodology has been applied for the amination of more complex pharmaceuticals and steroid derivatives. Detailed DFT computations have been performed for the Ni-triphos based reductive amination reaction, and they revealed that the overall reaction has an inner-sphere mechanism with H2metathesis as the rate-determining step.

- Design, synthesis and antifungal activity of threoninamide carbamate derivatives via pharmacophore model
-
Thirty-six novel threoninamide carbamate derivatives were designed and synthesised using active fragment-based pharmacophore model. Antifungal activities of these compounds were tested against Oomycete fungi Phytophthora capsici in vitro and in vivo. Interestingly, compound I-1, I-2, I-3, I-6 and I-7 exhibited moderate control effect (>50%) against Pseudoperonospora cubensis in greenhouse at 6.25 μg/mL, which is better than that of control. Meanwhile most of these compounds exhibited significant inhibitory against P. capsici. The other nine fungi were also tested. More importantly, some compounds exhibited remarkably high activities against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, P. piricola and R. solan in vitro with EC50 values of 3.74–9.76 μg/mL. It is possible that the model is reliabile and this method can be used to discover lead compounds for the development of fungicides.

- Method for synthesizing chiral amine compound
-
The present invention provides a method for synthesizing a chiral amine compound. The method comprises the following steps: (1) reacting a compound of formula I with t-butylsulfonamide in the presenceof a catalyst to obtain a compound having a structure represented by formula II; 2) reacting the compound of the formula II in a hydrogen atmosphere in the presence of an iridium catalyst and a ligand to obtain a compound of formula III; and (3) carrying out a t-butylsulfonyl group removal reaction on the compound of the formula III to obtain the chiral amine compound. The method constructs the structure of sulfonamide by a keto carbonylgroup, and synthesizes the chiral amine compound with the aralkylamine structure by an asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation reaction of the sulfonamide structure, the ee value is generally 80% or above, the highest ee value is 99% or above, the yield of each step reaction can reach 90% or above, and the total yield is high.

- Nickel-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of N-Sulfonyl Imines
-
An efficient nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of N-tBu-sulfonyl imines was developed with excellent yields and enantioselectivities using (R,R)-QuinoxP* as a chiral ligand. The use of a much lower catalyst loading (0.0095 mol %, S/C=10500) represents the highest catalytic activity for the Ni-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations reported so far. Mechanistic studies suggest that a coordination equilibrium exists between the nickel salt and its complex, and that excess nickel salt promotes the formation of the active Ni-complex, and therefore improved the efficiency of the hydrogenation. The catalytic cycle was also investigated by calculations to determine the origin of the enantioselectivity. An extensive network of numerous weak attractive interactions was found to exist between the catalyst and substrate in the transition state and may also contribute to the high catalytic activity.

- Organoselenium-catalyzed enantioselective syn-dichlorination of unbiased alkenes
-
The enantioselective dichlorination of alkenes is a continuing challenge in organic synthesis owing to the limitations of selective and independent antarafacial delivery of both electrophilic chlorenium and nucleophilic chloride to an olefin. Development of a general method for the enantioselective dichlorination of isolated alkenes would allow access to a wide variety of polyhalogenated natural products. Accordingly, the enantioselective suprafacial dichlorination of alkenes catalyzed by electrophilic organoselenium reagents has been developed to address these limitations. The evaluation of twenty-three diselenides as precatalysts for enantioselective dichlorination is described, with a maximum e.r. of 76:24 Additionally, mechanistic studies suggest an unexpected Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformation (DyKAT) process may be operative.

A biocatalytic cascade process was developed using immobilized cells of the wild type yeast Candida albicans CCT 0776 in calcium alginate beads and a commercially available ketoreductase. The aim was to promote deracemization by stereoinversion of (±)-1-arylethanols in high substrate concentration (above 100 mmol L-1) to prepare the (R)-enantiomers of the alcohols (90-99percent), with a high enantiomeric excess (83-99percent) after 2 to 19 h. The (R)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethanol, with 70percent yield and 91percent ee, obtained after 5 h was used to prepare (S)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-ethylamine with 60percent yield and 91percent ee after two steps, a key intermediate in the synthesis of (S)-rivastigmine.

An accurate selection of biocatalysts provided the corresponding products in excellent enantiomeric excesses and overall conversions ranging from 83 to >99 % for alcohols and 70 to >99 % for amines. Likewise, the employment of exclusively 1 % (w/w) of Cremophor, a polyethoxylated castor oil, as co-solvent enabled to reach concentrations up to 100 mM in the chiral alcohols cascade.

A ruthenium/C3-TunePhos catalytic system has been identified for highly efficient direct reductive amination of simple ketones. The strategy makes use of ammonium acetate as the amine source and H2 as the reductant and is a user-friendly and operatively simple access to industrially relevant primary amines. Excellent enantiocontrol (>90% ee for most cases) was achieved with a wide range of alkyl aryl ketones. The practicability of this methodology has been highlighted by scalable synthesis of key intermediates of three drug molecules. Moreover, an improved synthetic route to the optimal diphosphine ligand C3-TunePhos is also presented.

A new catalytic system for the N-monoalkylation of aqueous ammonia with a variety of alcohols was developed. Water-soluble dicationic complexes of iridium bearing N-heterocyclic carbene and diammine ligands exhibited high catalytic activity for this type of reaction on the basis of hydrogen-transfer processes without generating harmful or wasteful byproducts. Various primary amines were efficiently synthesized by using safe, inexpensive, and easily handled aqueous ammonia as a nitrogen source. For example, the reaction of 1-(4-methylphenyl)ethanol with aqueous ammonia in the presence of a water-soluble N-heterocyclic carbene complex of iridium at 150 °C for 40 h gave 1-(4-methylphenyl)ethylamine in 83 % yield.

-
Chiral resolutions of trifluoroacetyl-derivatized 1-phenylalkylamines with different type and position of substituent were investigated by capillary gas chromatography by using heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-cyclodextrin diluted in OV-1701 as a chiral stationary phase. The influence of column temperature on retention and enantioselectivity was examined. All enantiomers of meta-substituted analytes as well as fluoro-substituted analytes could be resolved. Temperature had a favorable influence on enantioselectivity for small amines with substituents at the ortho-position. The type of substituent at the stereogenic center of amines also had a crucial effect as the ethyl group led to poor enantioseparation. Among all analytes studied, trifluoroacetyl-derivatized 1-(2′-fluorophenyl)ethylamine exhibited baseline resolution with the shortest analysis time.

- Stereoselective amination of racemic sec-alcohols through sequential application of laccases and transaminases
-
A one-pot/two-step bienzymatic asymmetric amination of secondary alcohols is disclosed. The approach is based on a sequential strategy involving the use of a laccase/TEMPO catalytic system for the oxidation of alcohols into ketone intermediates, and their following transformation into optically enriched amines by using transaminases. Individual optimizations of the oxidation and biotransamination reactions have been carried out, studying later their applicability in a concurrent process. Therefore, 17 racemic (hetero) aromatic sec-alcohols with different substitutions in the aromatic ring have been converted into enantioenriched amines with good to excellent selectivities (90-99% ee) and conversion values (67-99%). The scalability of the process was also demonstrated when two different amine donors were used in the transamination step, such as isopropylamine and cis-2-buten-1,4-diamine. Satisfyingly, both sacrificial amine donors can shift the equilibrium toward the amine formation, leading to the corresponding isolated enantioenriched amines with good to excellent results.

- Stereoselective Metal-Free Reduction of Chiral Imines in Batch and Flow Mode: A Convenient Strategy for the Synthesis of Chiral Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
-
The convenient, metal-free reduction of imines that contain an inexpensive and removable chiral auxiliary allowed for the synthesis of the immediate precursors of chiral active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This protocol was carried out under batch and flow conditions to give the correspoding products in high yields with almost complete stereocontrol. In the presence of trichlorosilane, an inexpensive and nontoxic reducing agent, and an achiral Lewis base such as N,N-dimethylformamide, the formal syntheses of Rivastgmine, calcimimetic NPS R-568, and a Rho kinases inhibitor were successfully accomplished. For the first time, both the diastereoselective imine reduction and the auxiliary removal were efficiently performed in a micro- or mesoreactor under continuous-flow conditions, which paved the way towards the development of a practical process for the syntheses of industrially relevant, biologically active, enantiopure N-alkylamines.

Cyclometalated iridium complexes are found to be versatile catalysts for the direct reductive amination (DRA) of carbonyls to give primary amines under transfer-hydrogenation conditions with ammonium formate as both the nitrogen and hydrogen source. These complexes are easy to synthesise and their ligands can be easily tuned. The activity and chemoselectivity of the catalyst towards primary amines is excellent, with a substrate to catalyst ratio (S/C) of 1000 being feasible. Both aromatic and aliphatic primary amines were obtained in high yields. Moreover, a first example of homogeneously catalysed transfer-hydrogenative DRA has been realised for β-keto ethers, leading to the corresponding β-amino ethers. In addition, non-natural α-amino acids could also be obtained in excellent yields with this method. Reduce the work! A broad range of ketones have been successfully aminated to afford primary amines under transfer-hydrogenation conditions by using ammonium formate as the amine source and 0.1 mol % of a cyclometalated IrIII catalyst (see scheme).

- A versatile Ru catalyst for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of both aromatic and aliphatic sulfinylimines

A highly efficient Ru catalyst based on an achiral, very simple, and inexpensive amino alcohol ligand (2-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol) has been developed for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of chiral N-(tert-butylsulfinyl)imines. This complex is able to catalyze the ATH of both aromatic and the most challenging aliphatic sulfinylimines by using isopropyl alcohol as the hydrogen source. The diastereoselective reduction of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic sulfinylketimines, including sterically congested cases, over short reaction times (1-4 h), followed by desulfinylation of the nitrogen atom, affords the corresponding highly enantiomerically enriched (ee up to >99%) α-branched primary amines in excellent yields. The same ligand was equally effective for the synthesis of both (R)- and (S)-amines by using the appropriate absolute configuration in the iminic substrate. DFT mechanistic studies show that the hydrogen-transfer process is stepwise. Moreover, the origin of the diastereoselectivity has been rationalized.

- Asymmetric synthesis of chiral primary amines by transfer hydrogenation of N -(tert -Butanesulfinyl)ketimines
-
(Figure presented) The diastereoselective reduction of (R)-N-(tert- butanesulfinyl)ketimines by a ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation process in isopropyl alcohol, followed by desulfinylation of the nitrogen atom, is an excellent method to prepare highly enantiomerically enriched α-branched primary amines (up to >99% ee) in short reaction times (1-4 h). (1S,2R)-1-Amino-2-indanol has been shown to be a very efficient ligand to perform this transformation. Ketimines bearing either an aryl or a heteroaryl group and an alkyl group as substituents of the iminic carbon atom are very good substrates for this process. The reduction of a dialkyl ketimine could also be achieved, affording the expected amine with moderate optical purity (69% ee). Some amines which are precursors of very interesting biologically and pharmacologically active compounds have been prepared in excellent yields and enantiomeric excesses.

- Chemoenzymatic synthesis of rivastigmine based on lipase-catalyzed processes
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A straightforward chemoenzymatic synthesis of enantiomerically pure rivastigmine has been efficiently carried out under mild reaction conditions, with Candida antarctica lipase B responsible for the stereoselective acetylation of the corresponding (R)-alcohol or amine. An exhaustive enzymatic study has been developed exploring the possibilities of carry out enzyme recycling, scaling up the enzymatic process and development of a dynamic kinetic resolution procedure for the production of adequate enantiomerically pure precursors of rivastigmine. Total chemoenzymatic synthesis of this pharmaceutical has been performed in good overall yield from commercially available 3-methoxyacetophenone.

- Alternative and complementary approaches to the asymmetric synthesis of C3 substituted NH free or N-substituted isoindolin-1-ones
-
Complementary synthetic approaches to enantiomerically pure C3 alkylated or arylated NH free or N-substituted isoindolinones have been developed. The key step is elaboration of diversely substituted 2-alkyl- and arylbenzylamines, which can be submitted to a bis-metallation process followed by interception with a carbonylating agent. They can be also converted into N-alkylbromobenzylcarbamates or into bromobenzyldicarbamates and the assembly of the titled compounds can be readily ensured by reliance upon the Parham cyclization process.

- Resolution of 1-arylalkylamines with 3-O-hydrogen phthalate glucofuranose derivatives: Role of steric bulk in a family of resolving agents
-
The development of three new acidic resolving agents which are hydrogen phthalates of 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-glucofuranose 1, 1,2:5,6-di-O-cyclohexylidene-α-d-glucofuranose 2 and 1,2-O- cyclohexylidene-5,6-O-diphenylmethylidene-α-d-glucofuranose 3 is shown for the resolution of 1-arylalkylamines 7a-k. The salts between 1, 2 and (RS)-1-arylalkylamines 7a-k selectively crystallize 1?(S) 7a-j and 2?(S) 7a-h salts, allowing us to recover the corresponding bases (S) 7a-j and (S) 7a-h, respectively, in good yield and enantiomeric excess (73-95% ee). Whereas, the salts between 3 and (RS)-1-arylalkylamines 7a-c,g-i,k selectively crystallize 3?(S)-7a-c,g-i salts to recover the corresponding bases (S)-7a-c,g-i in poor enantiomeric excess (4-35% ee). The difference between the resolving ability of 1 and 2 for 1-arylalkylamines 7a-h is very slight, but there is considerable difference compared to ortho-substituted 1-arylalkylamines 7i and 7j. The role of substituents on a family of resolving agents 1, 2 and 3 is also discussed to interpret their resolving ability.

- Synthesis of enantiopure 6-methoxy-2-naphthylglycolic acid and its application as a resolving agent
-
6-Methoxy-2-naphthylglycolic acid (6-MNGA) was designed as a novel acidic resolving agent, on the model of 2-naphthylglycolic acid (2-NGA). Enantiopure 6-MNGA was easily obtained from commercially available 2-bromo-6- methoxynaphthalene through four steps and was found to show a better chiral recognition ability for racemic 1-arylethylamines than the prototype 2-NGA did. The X-ray crystallographic analyses of less-soluble diastereomeric salts revealed that the introduction of a methoxy group at the 6-position of the 2-NGA skeleton made CH/π interaction(s) effective between 6-MNGA molecules and also between the 6-MNGA molecule and the target amine molecule. The methoxy group was also found to contribute to the realization of effective van der Waals interaction. These interactions played important roles for the stabilization of the less-soluble diastereomeric salts to improve the chiral recognition ability of 6-MNGA, compared to that of 2-NGA.

- Enantioselective synthesis of primary 1-(aryl)alkylamines by nucleophilic 1,2-addition of organolithium reagents to hydroxyoxime ethers and application to asymmetric synthesis of G-protein-coupled receptor ligands
-
(E)-Arylaldehyde oxime ethers bearing a (1S)-2-hydroxy-1-phenylethyl or (2R)-1-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl group as a chiral auxiliary, both derived from a single precursor, methyl (R)-mandelate, underwent nucleophilic addition with organolithium reagents via six-membered chelates to give the diastereomerically enriched (R)- and (S)-adducts, respectively, which, after chiral auxiliary removal by reductive N-O bond cleavage, led to the corresponding (R)- and (S)-1-(aryl)ethylamines. This organolithium addition protocol using methyllithium was applied in an enantiodivergent fashion to the preparation of both enantiomers of 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethylamine, which has been previously used as an efficient chiral auxiliary for the synthesis of natural products in this laboratory. The synthetic utility of this methodology involving diastereoselective methyl addition was demonstrated by further application to the asymmetric synthesis of a new type of calcium receptor agonist (calcimimetics), (R)-(+)-NPS R-568 and its thio analogue. Furthermore, diastereoselective vinylation was accomplished by application of the hydroxy oxime ether-based protocol using vinyllithium, which allowed the development of the enantioselective synthesis of the NK-1 receptor antagonists, (+)-CP-99,994 and (+)-CP-122,721.

We have shown that Me-DuPHOS monoxide (BozPHOS) is a very effective ligand in the copper-catalyzed addition of dialkylzinc to N-phosphinoylimines providing access to α-chiral amines. The new ligand is particularly effective for the addition of the lesser reactive dimethylzinc. The major advantages of this process are high yields, broad substrate scope, and high enantioselectivities with low catalyst loading (3 mol %). Copyright

- Stereoselectivity of cyclisations via N-acyliminium ions to form pyrido[2′,3′:3,4]pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoindole, -isoquinoline and -benz[c]azepine ring systems
-
Pyrido[2′,3′:3,4]pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoindole, -isoquinoline and -benz[c]azepine derivatives are obtained by heating in polyphosphoric acid (PPA) appropriate hydroxy lactam precursors derived from pyridine-2,3-dicarboximides. The stereoselectivity of ring closure is rationalised by considering the development of A(1,3) strain in the cyclisation step from N-acyliminium ion intermediates.
