Visible-Light-Driven Catalytic Deracemization of Secondary Alcohols

Deracemization of racemic chiral compounds is an attractive approach in asymmetric synthesis, but its development has been hindered by energetic and kinetic challenges. Here we describe a catalytic deracemization method for secondary benzylic alcohols which are important synthetic intermediates and end products for many industries. Driven by visible light only, this method is based on sequential photochemical dehydrogenation followed by enantioselective thermal hydrogenation. The combination of a heterogeneous dehydrogenation photocatalyst and a chiral molecular hydrogenation catalyst is essential to ensure two distinct pathways for the forward and reverse reactions. These reactions convert a large number of racemic aryl alkyl alcohols into their enantiomerically enriched forms in good yields and enantioselectivities.

Mn(i) phosphine-amino-phosphinites: a highly modular class of pincer complexes for enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of aryl-alkyl ketones

A series of Mn(i) catalysts with readily accessible and more π-accepting phosphine-amino-phosphinite (P′(O)N(H)P) pincer ligands have been explored for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aryl-alkyl ketones which led to good to high enantioselectivities (up to 98%) compared to other reported Mn-based catalysts for such reactions. The easy tunability of the chiral backbone and the phosphine moieties makes P′(O)N(H)P an alternative ligand framework to the well-known PNP-type pincers.

Amino Acid-Functionalized Metal-Organic Frameworks for Asymmetric Base–Metal Catalysis

We report a strategy to develop heterogeneous single-site enantioselective catalysts based on naturally occurring amino acids and earth-abundant metals for eco-friendly asymmetric catalysis. The grafting of amino acids within the pores of a metal-organic framework (MOF), followed by post-synthetic metalation with iron precursor, affords highly active and enantioselective (>99 % ee for 10 examples) catalysts for hydrosilylation and hydroboration of carbonyl compounds. Impressively, the MOF-Fe catalyst displayed high turnover numbers of up to 10 000 and was recycled and reused more than 15 times without diminishing the enantioselectivity. MOF-Fe displayed much higher activity and enantioselectivity than its homogeneous control catalyst, likely due to the formation of robust single-site catalyst in the MOF through site-isolation.

The invention discloses a tridentate nitrogen phosphine ligand containing arylamine NH as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis. The tridentate nitrogen phosphine ligand disclosed by the invention is the first case of tridentate nitrogen phosphine ligand containing not only a quinoline amine structure but also chiral ferrocene at present, a noble metal complex of the type of ligand shows good selectivity and extremely high catalytic activity in an asymmetric hydrogenation reaction, meanwhile, a cheap metal complex of the ligand can also show good selectivity and catalytic activity in the asymmetric hydrogenation reaction, and is very easy to modify in the aspects of electronic effect and space structure, so that the ligand has huge potential application value. A catalyst formed by the ligand and a transition metal complex can be used for catalyzing various reactions, can be used for synthesizing various drugs, and has important industrial application value.

C1-Symmetric PNP Ligands for Manganese-Catalyzed Enantioselective Hydrogenation of Ketones: Reaction Scope and Enantioinduction Model

A family of ferrocene-based chiral PNP ligands is reported. These tridentate ligands were successfully applied in Mn-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones, giving high enantioselectivities (92%～99% ee for aryl alkyl ketones) as well as high efficiencies (TON up to 2000). In addition, dialkyl ketones could also be hydrogenated smoothly. Manganese intermediates that might be involved in the catalytic cycle were analyzed. DFT calculation was carried out to help understand the chiral induction model. The Mn/PNP catalyst could discriminate two groups with different steric properties by deformation of the phosphine moiety in the flexible 5-membered ring.

Chiral amino-pyridine-phosphine tridentate ligand, manganese complex, and preparation method and application thereof

The invention discloses a chiral amino-pyridine-phosphine tridentate ligand, a manganese complex, and a preparation method and application thereof. The chiral amino-pyridine-phosphine tridentate ligand is shown as a formula II, and the manganese complex of the chiral amino-pyridine-phosphine tridentate ligand can be used for efficiently catalyzing and hydrogenating ketone compounds to prepare chiral alcohol compounds in a high enantioselectivity mode. The chiral amino-pyridine-phosphine tridentate ligand and the manganese complex are simple in synthesis process, good in stability, high in catalytic activity and mild in reaction conditions.

Lutidine-Based Chiral Pincer Manganese Catalysts for Enantioselective Hydrogenation of Ketones

A series of MnI complexes containing lutidine-based chiral pincer ligands with modular and tunable structures has been developed. The complex shows unprecedentedly high activities (up to 9800 TON; TON=turnover number), broad substrate scope (81 examples), good functional-group tolerance, and excellent enantioselectivities (85–98 % ee) in the hydrogenation of various ketones. These aspects are rare in earth-abundant metal catalyzed hydrogenations. The utility of the protocol have been demonstrated in the asymmetric synthesis of a variety of key intermediates for chiral drugs. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicate that an outer-sphere mode of substrate–catalyst interactions probably dominates the catalysis.

Kinetic resolution of sterically hindered secondary alcohols catalyzed by aminophosphinite organocatalyst

Kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols by benzoylation using a phosphinite derivative of (1S,2R)-1-amino-2-indanol as the catalyst was investigated. The aminophosphinite catalyst is effective for the kinetic resolution of aryl cycloalkyl carbinols with a small number of examples for organocatalytic kinetic resolution to achieve resolution with s = up to 44. Although the benzoylation of phenylalkanols proceeded with a low selectivity, 1-arylalkanols bearing at least one substituent at the ortho position on the benzene ring or a branched alkyl group on the carbinol carbon were resolved with acceptable selectivity.

A Chiral Metal-Organic Material that Enables Enantiomeric Identification and Purification

We show that CMOM-3S, a previously unreported porous crystalline metal-organic material that exhibits intrinsic homochirality, serves as a general-purpose chiral crystalline sponge (CCS) and a chiral stationary phase (CSP) for gas chromatography (GC). The properties of CMOM-3S are enabled by nano-sized channels connected to adaptable molecular recognition sites that mimic enzyme-binding sites. Further, CMOM-3S is composed of inexpensive components, facile to prepare, and requires only trace amounts of analyte. When coupled with the thermal and hydrolytic stability of CMOM-3S, these features mean that a coated fused silica capillary column in which CMOM-3S serves as a CSP is both more versatile and more robust than three benchmark commercial columns. That the enantiomer with the longer GC retention time is consistently captured in CCS experiments enables CMOM-3S to serve as a powerful tool to enable both chiral purification and enantiomer identification.

Expanding substrate scope of lipase-catalyzed transesterification by the utilization of liquid carbon dioxide

Secondary alcohols having bulky substituents on both sides of the chiral center are often poor substrates for most lipases. Here we reported that substrate scopes of two of the most used lipases, Candida antarctica lipase B and Burkholderia cepacia lipase, were found to be expanded toward more bulky secondary alcohols such as 1-phenyl-1-dodecanol and 2-methyl-1-phenyl-1-propanol by simply using them in liquid carbon dioxide as a solvent. The effects of solvents, reaction pressure, and pre-treatment of the enzyme with liquid CO2on this acceleration phenomenon were also studied.
