Asymmetric hydrosilylation of ketones catalyzed by ruthenium complexes with chiral tridentate ligands
Zhu, Guoxin,Terry, Michael,Zhang, Xumu
, p. 97 - 101 (1997)
A new chiral tridentate ligand containing two phosphines and one pyridine is effective for Ru-catalyzed asymmetric hydrosilylation of simple ketones (47-66% ee). Ruthenium complexes with either chiral tridentate nitrogen ligands or chiral bidentate phosphorus ligands are either inactive or non-selective for asymmetric hydrosilylation. This work has set a foundation for the asymmetric catalytic reactions based on chiral mixed P-N tridentate ligands.

Most ligands applied for asymmetric hydrogenation are synthesized via multistep reactions with expensive chemical reagents. Herein, a series of novel and easily accessed cinchona-alkaloid-based NNP ligands have been developed in two steps. By combining [Ir(COD)Cl]2, 39 ketones including aromatic, heteroaryl, and alkyl ketones have been hydrogenated, all affording valuable chiral alcohols with 96.0-99.9% ee. A plausible reaction mechanism was discussed by NMR, HRMS, and DFT, and an activating model involving trihydride was verified.
Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Alcohols by Enantioselective Silylation Enabled by Two Orthogonal Transition-Metal Catalysts
Oestreich, Martin,Seliger, Jan
, p. 247 - 251 (2020/10/29)
A nonenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of acyclic and cyclic benzylic alcohols is reported. The approach merges rapid transition-metal-catalyzed alcohol racemization and enantioselective Cu-H-catalyzed dehydrogenative Si-O coupling of alcohols and hydrosilanes. The catalytic processes are orthogonal, and the racemization catalyst does not promote any background reactions such as the racemization of the silyl ether and its unselective formation. Often-used ruthenium half-sandwich complexes are not suitable but a bifunctional ruthenium pincer complex perfectly fulfills this purpose. By this, enantioselective silylation of racemic alcohol mixtures is achieved in high yields and with good levels of enantioselection.
Abiotic reduction of ketones with silanes catalysed by carbonic anhydrase through an enzymatic zinc hydride

Enzymatic reactions through mononuclear metal hydrides are unknown in nature, despite the prevalence of such intermediates in the reactions of synthetic transition-metal catalysts. If metalloenzymes could react through abiotic intermediates like these, then the scope of enzyme-catalysed reactions would expand. Here we show that zinc-containing carbonic anhydrase enzymes catalyse hydride transfers from silanes to ketones with high enantioselectivity. We report mechanistic data providing strong evidence that the process involves a mononuclear zinc hydride. This work shows that abiotic silanes can act as reducing equivalents in an enzyme-catalysed process and that monomeric hydrides of electropositive metals, which are typically unstable in protic environments, can be catalytic intermediates in enzymatic processes. Overall, this work bridges a gap between the types of transformation in molecular catalysis and biocatalysis. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Novel chiral cobalt complex a containing amine(imine)diphosphine PN(H)NP ligand and complex b containing bis(amine)diphosphine PN(H)N(H)P ligand were synthesized. The structures of two complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography and high resolution mass spectrometry. The catalytic performances of cobalt complexes a and b for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones under mild conditions were evaluated using 2-propanolisopropanol as solvent and hydrogen source after being activated by 8 equivalents of base. Complex a showed a good reactivity for reduction of ketones, with a turnover number (TON) of up to 555, and a maximum enantiomeric excess (ee) value of up to 91 %. Complex b exhibited inertness for hydrogenation of ketones. Electronic structure studies on a and b were conducted to account for the function of ligands on the catalytic performances.

The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of a wide range of ketones catalyzed by manganese complex as well as chiral PxNy-type ligand under mild conditions was investigated. Using 2-propanol as hydrogen source, various ketones could be enantioselectively hydrogenated by combining cheap, readily available [MnBr(CO)5] with chiral, 22-membered macrocyclic ligand (R,R,R',R')-CyP2N4 (L5) with 2 mol% of catalyst loading, affording highly valuable chiral alcohols with up to 95% ee.

I-interacting ligands of the diphosphino amido-ene(amido) type are effective in activating iron to resemble the properties of precious metals in the catalytic asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones. To further verify the effectiveness of the ene(amido) group, we synthesized four amine(imine) diphosphine iron precatalyst complexes with substituents at α and β positions relative to imino groups (1-3) or with enlarged chelate ring sizes (5,5,6-membered rings) (4). In comparison with the parent trans-(R,R)-[Fe(CO)(Cl)(PPh2CH2CHaNCHPhCHPhNHCH2CH2PPh2)]BF4 (I), the introduction of a methyl group in 1 and 2 reduced the catalytic activity but led to undiminished enantioselectivity as reaction proceeded. In comparison to the iron complexes 1-3 with a 5,5,5-coordination geometry, the complex 4 derived from the new (R,R)-P-NH-NH2 tridentate ligand showed high reactivity comparable to that of I but was unfortunately not enantioselective. The catalytic reactivity of 1, 2, and 4 illustrates the effectiveness of the ene(amido) group. An electronic structure study on the important catalytic intermediate amido-ene(amido) complex 1b proved that iron was activated by an additional I-back-donation-interaction ligand to participate in the traditional metal-ligand bifunctional pathway in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reactions.

Asymmetric bioreduction of aromatic and heteroaromatic ketones is an important process in the production of precursors of biologically active molecules. In this study, the bioreduction of aromatic and hetero aromatic prochiral ketones into optically active alcohols was investigated using Lactobacillus senmaizukei as a whole-cell catalyst, since whole-cells are less expensive than pure enzymes. The study indicates enantioselective bioreduction of various substituted aromatic ketones (1–16) to the corresponding (R)-and (S)-chiral secondary alcohols (1a–16a) in low to excellent enantioselectivity (6–94%) with good yields (58–95%). In addition, heteroaromatic prochiral ketones 1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethanone (17) and 1-(furan-2-yl)ethanone (18) were reduced to (R)-17a and (R)-18a in enantiopure form with excellent conversion (>99%) and yields. These findings show that L. senmaizukei is a very important biocatalyst for asymmetric reduction of both 6-membered and 5-member heteroaromatic methyl ketones. This method promising a green synthesis for the synthesis of biologically important secondary chiral alcohols in an environmentally friendly and inexpensive process.

Asymmetric catalytic reactions are among the most convenient and environmentally benign methods to obtain optically pure compounds. The aim of this study was to develop a green system for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones, applying chiral Ru catalyst in aqueous media and mechanochemical energy transmission. Using a ball mill we have optimized the milling parameters in the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone followed by reduction of various substituted derivatives. The scope of the method was extended to carbo- and heterocyclic ketones. The scale-up of the developed system was successful, the optically enriched alcohols could be obtained in high yields. The developed mechanochemical system provides TOFs up to 168 h?1. Our present study is the first in which mechanochemically activated enantioselective transfer hydrogenations were carried out, thus, may be a useful guide for the practical synthesis of optically pure chiral secondary alcohols.
