This study reports the catalytic deracemization of ketones bearing stereocenters in the α-position in a single reaction via deprotonation, followed by enantioselective protonation. The principle of microscopic reversibility, which has previously rendered this strategy elusive, is overcome by a photoredox deprotonation through single electron transfer and subsequent hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). Specifically, the irradiation of racemic pyridylketones in the presence of a single photocatalyst and a tertiary amine provides nonracemic carbonyl compounds with up to 97% enantiomeric excess. The photocatalyst harvests the visible light, induces the redox process, and is responsible for the asymmetric induction, while the amine serves as a single electron donor, HAT reagent, and proton source. This conceptually simple light-driven strategy of coupling a photoredox deprotonation with a stereocontrolled protonation, in conjunction with an enrichment process, serves as a blueprint for other deracemizations of ubiquitous carbonyl compounds.

The construction of carboxylic acid compounds in a selective fashion from low value materials such as alkenes remains a long-standing challenge to synthetic chemists. In particular, β-addition to styrenes is underdeveloped. Herein we report a new electrosynthetic approach to the selective hydrocarboxylation of alkenes that overcomes the limitations of current transition metal and photochemical approaches. The reported method allows unprecedented direct access to carboxylic acids derived from β,β-trisubstituted alkenes, in a highly regioselective manner.
Cobalt-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of α,β-Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids by Homolytic H2 Cleavage

The asymmetric hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids using readily prepared bis(phosphine) cobalt(0) 1,5-cyclooctadiene precatalysts is described. Di-, tri-, and tetra-substituted acrylic acid derivatives with various substitution patterns as well as dehydro-α-amino acid derivatives were hydrogenated with high yields and enantioselectivities, affording chiral carboxylic acids including Naproxen, (S)-Flurbiprofen, and a d-DOPA precursor. Turnover numbers of up to 200 were routinely obtained. Compatibility with common organic functional groups was observed with the reduced cobalt(0) precatalysts, and protic solvents such as methanol and isopropanol were identified as optimal. A series of bis(phosphine) cobalt(II) bis(pivalate) complexes, which bear structural similarity to state-of-the-art ruthenium(II) catalysts, were synthesized, characterized, and proved catalytically competent. X-band EPR experiments revealed bis(phosphine)cobalt(II) bis(carboxylate)s were generated in catalytic reactions and were identified as catalyst resting states. Isolation and characterization of a cobalt(II)-substrate complex from a stoichiometric reaction suggests that alkene insertion into the cobalt hydride occurred in the presence of free carboxylic acid, producing the same alkane enantiomer as that from the catalytic reaction. Deuterium labeling studies established homolytic H2 (or D2) activation by Co(0) and cis addition of H2 (or D2) across alkene double bonds, reminiscent of rhodium(I) catalysts but distinct from ruthenium(II) and nickel(II) carboxylates that operate by heterolytic H2 cleavage pathways.

A hydrocarboxylation reaction of alkyne or styrene derivatives with CO2 proceeded smoothly by using an air-stable nano-sized nickel catalyst supported on sulfur-modified gold (SANi), giving functionalized acrylic acids and phenylpropionic acids including an anti-inflammatory drug, Flurbiprofen. Notably, SANi could be recycled several times without a significant decrease of the yield.
Biocatalytic Parallel Interconnected Dynamic Asymmetric Disproportionation of α-Substituted Aldehydes: Atom-Efficient Access to Enantiopure (S)-Profens and Profenols

The biocatalytic asymmetric disproportionation of aldehydes catalyzed by horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH) was assessed in detail on a series of racemic 2-arylpropanals. Statistical optimization by means of design of experiments (DoE) allowed the identification of critical interdependencies between several reaction parameters and revealed a specific experimental window for reaching an ′optimal compromise′ in the reaction outcome. The biocatalytic system could be applied to a variety of 2-arylpropanals and granted access in a redox-neutral manner to enantioenriched (S)-profens and profenols following a parallel interconnected dynamic asymmetric transformation (PIDAT). The reaction can be performed in aqueous buffer at ambient conditions, does not rely on a sacrificial co-substrate, and requires only catalytic amounts of cofactor and a single enzyme. The high atom-efficiency was exemplified by the conversion of 75 mM of rac-2-phenylpropanal with 0.03 mol% of HLADH in the presence of ～0.013 eq. of oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), yielding 28.1 mM of (S)-2-phenylpropanol in 96% ee and 26.5 mM of (S)-2-phenylpropionic acid in 89% ee, in 73% overall conversion. Isolated yield of 62% was obtained on 100 mg-scale, with intact enantiopurities. (Figure presented.).

Impactful regioselectivity control is crucial for cost-effective chemical synthesis. By using cheap and abundant iron(iii) salts, the hydroxycarbonylations of both aromatic and aliphatic alkenes were significantly enhanced in both reactivity and selectivity (iso/n or n/iso up to >99:1). Moreover, Pd-catalyzed carbonylation selectivity can be switched from branched to linear by using different Fe(iii) salts. In addition, similar results were obtained for the carbonylation of secondary alcohols.

The ligand-controlled Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov hydrocarboxylation of styrenes with atmospheric pressure of CO2 at room temperature using dual visible-light-nickel catalysis has been developed. In the presence of neocuproine as ligand, the Markovnikov product is obtained exclusively, while employing 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb) as the ligand favors the formation of the anti-Markovnikov product. A range of functional groups and electron-poor, -neutral, as well as electron-rich styrene derivatives are tolerated by the reaction, providing the desired products in moderate to good yields. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicate the generation of a nickel hydride (H-NiII) intermediate, which subsequently adds irreversibly to styrenes.

The catalytic hydrocarboxylation of styrenes derivatives and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with CO2(101.3 kPa) in the presence of an air-stable rhodium catalyst was explored. The combination of [RhCl(cod)]2(cod = cyclooctadiene) as a catalyst and diethylzinc as a hydride source allowed for effective hydrocarboxylation and provided the corresponding α-aryl carboxylic acids in moderate to excellent yields. In this catalytic process with carbon dioxide, intervention of the RhI–H species, which could be generated from the RhIcatalyst and diethylzinc, was clarified. Significantly, the catalytic asymmetric hydrocarboxylation of α,β-unsaturated esters with carbon dioxide was also performed by employing a cationic rhodium complex possessing (S)-(–)-4,4′-bi-1,3-benzodioxole-5,5′-diylbis(diphenylphosphine) [(S)-SEGPHOS] as a chiral diphosphine ligand. A plausible model for asymmetric induction was proposed by determination of the absolute configuration of the product.

A novel Ni-catalyzed carboxylation of benzyl halides with CO2 has been developed. The described carboxylation reaction proceeds under mild conditions (atmospheric CO2 pressure) at room temperature. Unlike other routes for similar means, our method does not require well-defined and sensitive organometallic reagents and thus is a user-friendly and operationally simple protocol for assembling phenylacetic acids.
