Extending the substrate scope of bicyclic p-oxazoline/thiazole ligands for ir-catalyzed hydrogenation of unfunctionalized olefins by introducing a biaryl phosphoroamidite group

This study identifies a series of Ir-bicyclic phosphoroamidite-oxazoline/thiazole catalytic systems that can hydrogenate a wide range of minimally functionalized olefins (including E- and Z-tri- and disubstituted substrates, vinylsilanes, enol phosphinates, tri- and disubstituted alkenylboronic esters, and ?±,?2-unsaturated enones) in high enantioselectivities (ee values up to 99%) and conversions. The design of the new phosphoroamidite-oxazoline/thiazole ligands derives from a previous successful generation of bicyclic N-phosphane-oxazoline/thiazole ligands, by replacing the N-phosphane group with a p-acceptor biaryl phosphoroamidite moiety. A small but structurally important family of Ir-phosphoroamidite-oxazoline/thiazole precatalysts has thus been synthesized by changing the nature of the Ndonor group (either oxazoline or thiazole) and the configuration at the biaryl phosphoroamidite moiety. The substitution of the N-phosphane by a phosphoroamidite group in the bicyclic N-phosphane-oxazoline/thiazole ligands extended the range of olefins that can be successfully hydrogenated.

A phosphite-pyridine/iridium complex library as highly selective catalysts for the hydrogenation of minimally functionalized olefins

A modular library of readily available phosphite-pyridine ligands has been successfully applied for the first time in the iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of a broad range of minimally functionalized olefins. The modular ligand design has been shown to be crucial in finding highly selective catalytic systems for each substrate. Excellent enantioselectivities (ees up to 99%) have therefore been obtained in a wide range of E- and Z-trisubstituted alkenes, including more demanding triaryl-substituted olefins and dihydronaphthalenes. This good performance extends to the very challenging class of terminal disubstituted olefins, and to olefins containing neighbouring polar groups (ees up to 99%). Both enantiomers of the reduction product can be obtained in excellent enantioselectivities by simply changing the configuration of the carbon next to the phosphite moiety. The hydrogenations were also performed using propylene carbonate as solvent, which allowed the iridium catalyst to be reused and maintained the excellent Copyright

A modular furanoside thioether-phosphite/phosphinite/ phosphine ligand library for asymmetric iridium-catalyzed hydrogenation of minimally functionalized olefins: Scope and limitations

A highly modular furanoside thioether-phosphite/phosphinite/phosphine ligand library has been synthesized for the iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of minimally functionalized olefins. These ligands can be prepared efficiently from easily accessible D-(+)-xylose. We found that their effectiveness at transferring the chiral information in the product can be tuned by correctly choosing the ligand components. Enantioselectivities were therefore excellent (ees up to 99%) in a wide range of E- and Z-trisubstituted alkenes using 5-deoxyribofuranoside thioether-phosphite ligands. It should be pointed out that these catalysts are also very tolerant to the presence of a neighbouring polar group. For 1,1-disubstituted substrates, both enantiomers of the hydrogenation product can be obtained in high enantioselectivities simply by changing the configuration of the biaryl phosphite moiety. The asymmetric hydrogenation was also performed using propylene carbonate as solvent, which allowed the iridium catalysts to be reused while maintaining the excellent enantioselectivities. Copyright

Adaptative biaryl phosphite-oxazole and phosphite-thiazole ligands for asymmetrie Ir-catalyzed hydrogenation of alkenes

A library of readily available phosphite-oxazole/thiazole ligands (L1a-g-L7a-g) was applied in the Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of several largely unfunctionalized E- and Z-trisubstituted and 1,1-disubstituted terminal alkenes. The ability of the catalysts to transfer chiral information to the product could be tuned by choosing suitable ligand components (bridgelength, the substituents in the heterocyclic ring and the alkyl backbone chain, the configuration of the ligand backbone, and the substituents/ configurations in the biaryl phosphite moiety),so that enantioselectivities could be maximized for each substrate as required. Enantioselectivities were therefore excellent (enantiomeric excess (ee) values up to >99%) for a wide range of E- and Z-trisubstituted and 1,1-disubstituted terminal alkenes. The biaryl phosphite moiety was a very advantageous ligand component in terms of substrate versatility.

Iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins using TIQ phosphine-oxazoline ligands

A novel family of tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ) phosphine-oxazoline ligands and four corresponding iridium complexes have been developed and applied to the asymmetric hydrogenation of unfunctionalized olefins. The results showed that the best conversion rates were observed in up to 99% with an enantiomeric excess of 91%.
