Self-supported chiral polymeric MnIII salen complexes as highly active and recyclable catalysts for epoxidation of nonfunctionalized olefins

Abstract A series of self-supported chiral polymeric MnIII N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylimine) (salen) complexes were synthesized through metalation of the corresponding salen ligands obtained by condensation of several bis/tris-aldehydes with (1R,2

Exploration of chiral induction on epoxides in lipase-catalyzed epoxidation of alkenes using (2R,3S,4R,5S)-(-)-2,3:4,6-di-O-isopropylidiene-2-keto-l-gulonic acid monohydrate

Epoxidation of alkenes by peracid, generated in situ from (2R,3S,4R,5S)-(-)-2,3:4,6-di-O-isopropylidiene-2-keto-l-gulonic acid monohydrate [(-)-DIKGA] and hydrogen peroxide by lipase catalysis induces chirality on the product epoxides with moderate to good enantioselectivity (35-71%). Alkoxy/aralkyloxy styrenes however did not undergo any epoxidation. (R)-(+)-4-Hydroxy styrene-7,8-oxide was formed and isolated with moderate enantiomeric excess (57%) but was found to have poor stability.

Dynamic kinetic resolution of racemic β-haloalcohols: Direct access to enantioenriched epoxides

The direct chemo-enzymatic DKR of racemic β-haloalcohols is reported, yielding the corresponding optically active epoxides in a single step. The mutant haloalcohol dehalogenase HheC Cys153Ser Trp249Phe is used for the asymmetric ring closure, whereas racemization of the remaining enantiomer of the haloalcohol is achieved using the new iridacycle 3, one of the most effective racemization catalysts to date for β-haloalcohols.

A novel method for the synthesis of chiral epoxides from styrene derivatives using chiral acids in presence of Pseudomonas lipase G6 [PSL G6] and hydrogen peroxide

Chiral epoxidation of styrene and its derivatives was carried out using series of chiral acids and urea hydrogen peroxide (UHP) or aqueous hydrogen peroxide (50%) in two phases under the catalytic influence of immobilized Pseudomonas lipase G6 [PSL G6] at 25-55 °C. A moderate to good yield and enantioselectivities of chiral epoxides were obtained.

Chiral styrene oxides from α-haloacetophenones using NaBH4 and TarB-NO2, a chiral Lewis acid

High enantioselectivities are obtained for the preparation of chiral styrene oxides through reduction of α-haloacetophenones using TarB-NO 2 reagent and the inexpensive and mild reducing agent NaBH 4. The epoxides are easily obtained in up to 95% ee through routine acid-base workup of the product alcohols. Either the (R) or (S) epoxide can be obtained by using the appropriate l- or d-tartaric acid starting material in the TarB-NO2 reagent.

Enantioconvergent hydrolysis of styrene epoxides by newly discovered epoxide hydrolases in mung bean

Two novel epoxide hydrolases were discovered in mung bean (Phaseolus radiatus L.) for the first time, either of which can catalyze enantioconvergent hydrolysis of styrene epoxides. Their regioselectivity coefficients are more than 90% for the p-nitrostyrene oxide. Furthermore, the crude mung bean powder was also shown to be a cheap and practical biocatalyst, allowing a one-step asymmetric synthesis of chiral (R)-diols from racemic epoxides, in up to >99% ee and 68.7% overall yield (after recrystallization).

Effective asymmetric epoxidation of styrenes by chiral dioxirane

High enantioselectivity (80-92% enantiomeric excess (ee)) has been obtained for the epoxidation of various styrenes using an easily prepared ketone (4) catalyst.

A Unique Binaphthyl Strapped Iron-Porphyrin Catalyst for the Enantioselective Epoxidation of Terminal Olefins

A new chiral binaphthyl-strapped iron-porphyrin 4b that exhibits unprecedented catalytic activity toward the enantioselective epoxidation of terminal olefins was synthesized. Typical enantiomeric excesses (ee) of 90% were measured with a maximum of 97% fo

Electronic effects on enantioselectivity in epoxidation catalyzed by D 4-symmetric chiral porphyrins

Asymmetric epoxidation of various aromatic olefins was examined with our D4-symmetric chiral porphyrin. The enantioselectivity was greatly improved upon when the substrates contained electron-deficient groups. Moreover, examination of electroni

Highly selective hydrolytic kinetic resolution of terminal epoxides catalyzed by chiral (salen)CoIII complexes. Practical synthesis of enantioenriched terminal epoxides and 1,2-diols

The hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of terminal epoxides catalyzed by chiral (salen)CoIII complex 1·OAc affords both recovered unreacted epoxide and 1,2-diol product in highly enantioenriched form. As such, the HKR provides general access to useful, highly enantioenriched chiral building blocks that are otherwise difficult to access, from inexpensive racemic materials. The reaction has several appealing features from a practical standpoint, including the use of H2O as a reactant and low loadings (0.2-2.0 mol %) of a recyclable, commercially available catalyst. In addition, the HKR displays extraordinary scope, as a wide assortment of sterically and electronically varied epoxides can be resolved to ≥ 99% ee. The corresponding 1,2-diols were produced in good-to-high enantiomeric excess using 0.45 equiv of H2O. Useful and general protocols are provided for the isolation of highly enantioenriched epoxides and diols, as well as for catalyst recovery and recycling. Selectivity factors (krel) were determined for the HKR reactions by measuring the product ee at ca. 20% conversion. In nearly all cases, krel values for the HKR exceed 50, and in several cases are well in excess of 200.
