Lundgren, Stina,Wingstrand, Erica,Penhoat, Mael,Moberg, Christina
, p. 11592 - 11593 (2005)
Dual activation by a chiral Lewis acid and an achiral or chiral Lewis base enabled cyanation of both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes with acetyl cyanide and ethyl cyanoformate to provide direct access to O-acetylated and O-alkoxycarbonylated cyanohydrins

The development of highly robust heterogeneous catalysts for broad asymmetric reactions has always been a subject of interest, but it remains a synthetic challenge. Here we demonstrated that highly stable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with potentially acid-labile chiral catalysts can be synthesized via postsynthetic exchange. Through a one- or two-step ligand exchange, a series of asymmetric metallosalen catalysts with the same or different metal centers are incorporated into a Zr-based UiO-68 MOF to form single- and mixed-M(salen) linker crystals, which cannot be accomplished by direct solvothermal synthesis. The resulting MOFs have been characterized by a variety of techniques including single-crystal X-ray diffraction, N2 sorption, CD, and SEM/TEM-EDS mapping. The single-M(salen) linker MOFs are active and efficient catalysts for asymmetric cyanosilylation of aldehydes, ring-opening of epoxides, oxidative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols, and aminolysis of stilbene oxide, and the mixed-M(salen) linker variants are active for sequential asymmetric alkene epoxidation/epoxide ring-opening reactions. The chiral MOF catalysts are highly enantioselective and completely heterogeneous and recyclable, making them attractive catalysts for eco-friendly synthesis of fine chemicals. This work not only advances UiO-type MOFs as a new platform for heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis in a variety of syntheses but also provides an attractive strategy for designing robust and versatile heterogeneous catalysts.

The search for versatile heterogeneous catalysts with multiple active sites for broad asymmetric transformations has long been of great interest, but it remains a formidable synthetic challenge. Here we demonstrate that multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV-MOFs) can be used as an excellent platform to engineer heterogeneous catalysts featuring multiple and cooperative active sites. An isostructural series of 2-fold interpenetrated MTV-MOFs that contain up to three different chiral metallosalen catalysts was constructed and used as efficient and recyclable heterogeneous catalysts for a variety of asymmetric sequential alkene epoxidation/epoxide ring-opening reactions. Interpenetration of the frameworks brings metallosalen units adjacent to each other, allowing cooperative activation, which results in improved efficiency and enantioselectivity over the sum of the individual parts. The fact that manipulation of molecular catalysts in MTV-MOFs can control the activities and selectivities would facilitate the design of novel multifunctional materials for enantioselective processes.

Two chiral porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were constructed from [VO(salen)]-derived dicarboxylate and dipyridine bridging ligands. After oxidation of VIV to VV, they were found to be highly effective, recyclable, and reusable

A chemoenzymatic two-step cascade process, with both steps having incompatible reaction conditions, was successfully performed in continuous flow. The chemoenzymatic aqueous formation of cyanohydrins was integrated with a subsequent organic phase protection step in a single flow process utilising a membrane-based phase separation module. The wider applicability of our setup was demonstrated with the synthesis of nine protected cyanohydrin derivatives, all obtained in good yields and high to excellent enantioselectivity.
A simple separation method for (S)-hydroxynitrile lyase from cassava and its application in asymmetric cyanohydrination

, p. 434 - 439 (2013/06/27)
Using an acetone precipitation method, crude (S)-hydroxynitrile lyase [(S)-MeHNL] was separated from Munihot esculenta (cassava) leaves, and used directly as biocatalyst to catalyze asymmetric cyanohydrination and produce cyanohydrins with enantiomeric purities (≥90% ee) significantly greater than those previously reported. The use of a water/i-Pr2O system with an enzyme, NaCN, and appropriate amounts of acetic acid is crucial in improving the stereoselectivity of cyanohydrin formation by minimizing the non-enzymatic reaction and the racemization of the chiral products. The proposed isolation method for crude (S)-MeHNL has a high value because of its simplicity, and low cost as well as the high activity of the crude (S)-MeHNL.

The asymmetric addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide to aldehydes catalysed by chiral metal(salan) complexes has been investigated. Salan complexes of titanium and vanadium displayed only low catalytic activity, but a bimetallic aluminium(salan) complex gave
Cooperative thiourea-Bronsted acid organocatalysis: Enantioselective cyanosilylation of aldehydes with TMSCN

We report a new thiourea - Bronsted acid cooperative catalytic system for the enantioselective cyanosilylation of aldehydes with yields up to 90% and enantioselectivities up to 88%. The addition of an achiral acid was found to be crucial for high asymmetric induction. Mechanistic investigations using a combination of NMR, ESI-MS, and density functional theory computations (including solvent corrections) at the M06/6-31G(d,p) level of theory suggest that the key catalytic species results from the cooperative interaction of bifunctional thioureas and an achiral acid that form well-defined chiral hydrogen-bonding environments.
Enantioselective O-acetylcyanation/cyanoformylation of aldehydes using catalysts with built-in crown ether-like motif in chiral macrocyclic V(V) salen complexes

experimental part, p. 7073 - 7080 (2011/10/07)
Chiral macrocyclic V(V) salen complexes 1a-f derived from macrocyclic ligands obtained by the reaction of 1R,2R-(-) diaminocyclohexane/(1R,2R)-(+)-1, 2-diphenylethylenediamine with bis-aldehydes 2 and 3 were synthesized and used as efficient catalysts in asymmetric cyanation reactions. The V(V) catalysts demonstrated excellent performance (product yields and ees up to 99%) with potassium cyanide (KCN) and sodium cyanide (NaCN). The catalytic system also performed very well with a safer source of cyanide-ethyl cyanoformate to give cyanohydrin carbonates in excellent yield and ee (up to 97%). The V(V) macrocyclic salen complex 1b retained its performance at multi-gram level and was conveniently recycled for a number of times.
