Chiral 2-imidazoline aniline compound as well as preparation method and application thereof

The invention provides a chiral 2-imidazoline aniline compound as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: reacting an o-nitrobenzoic acid compound as shown in a formula (1), oxalyl chloride and N, N-dimethylformamide to obtain an o-nitrobenzoyl chloride compound as shown in a formula (7); adding the hydroxyl amide derivative into a mixed solution of an amino alcohol compound as shown in a formula (2) and triethylamine to obtain a hydroxyl amide derivative as shown in a formula (3); reacting with thionyl chloride to obtain a dichloro compound as shown in a formula (4); then adding triethylamine and primary amine R2NH2 to prepare a nitroimidazoline derivative; and finally, reducing to obtain the chiral 2-imidazoline aniline compound as shown in a formula (6). The chiral 2-imidazoline aniline compound is easy to prepare, the raw materials are cheap and easy to obtain, the preparation method is simple, and the synthesized chiral ligand containing the 2-imidazoline aniline fragment can be used as a catalyst for catalyzing asymmetric hydroboration reaction of cobalt-catalyzed olefin and asymmetric hydroamination reaction of cobalt-catalyzed non-activated terminal olefin.

Ruthenium Catalyzed Direct Asymmetric Reductive Amination of Simple Aliphatic Ketones Using Ammonium Iodide and Hydrogen

The direct conversion of ketones into chiral primary amines is a key transformation in chemistry. Here, we present a ruthenium catalyzed asymmetric reductive amination (ARA) of purely aliphatic ketones with good yields and moderate enantioselectivity: up to 99 percent yield and 74 percent ee. The strategy involves [Ru(PPh3)3H(CO)Cl] in combination with the ligand (S,S)-f-binaphane as the catalyst, NH4I as the amine source and H2 as the reductant. This is a straightforward and user-friendly process to access industrially relevant chiral aliphatic primary amines. Although the enantioselectivity with this approach is only moderate, to the extent of our knowledge, the maximum ee of 74 percent achieved with this system is the highest reported till now apart from enzyme catalysis for the direct transformation of ketones into chiral aliphatic primary amines.

Iridium-catalyzed intermolecular hydroamination of unactivated aliphatic alkenes with amides and sulfonamides

The intermolecular addition of N-H bonds to unactivated alkenes remains a challenging, but desirable, strategy for the synthesis of N-alkylamines. We report the intermolecular amination of unactivated α-olefins and bicycloalkenes with arylamides and sulfonamides to generate synthetically useful protected amine products in high yield. Mechanistic studies on this rare catalytic reaction revealed a resting state that is the product of N-H bond oxidative addition and coordination of the amide. Rapid, reversible dissociation of the amide precedes reaction with the alkene, but an intramolecular, kinetically significant rearrangement of the species occurs before this reaction with alkene.

A direct and stereoretentive synthesis of amides from cyclic alcohols

Chlorosulfites prepared in situ using thionyl chloride react with nitrile complexes of titanium(IV) fluoride to give a one-pot conversion of alcohols into amides. For the first time, amides are obtained from cyclic alcohols with stereoretention. Critical to the design of these new TiIV reactions has been the use of little-explored TiIV nitrile complexes that are thought to chelate chlorosulfites in the transition state tocreate a carbocation that is rapidly captured by the nitrile nucleophile through a front-side attack mechanism.
