Synthesis of Silicon-Stereogenic Silanols Involving Iridium-Catalyzed Enantioselective C-H Silylation Leading to a New Ligand Scaffold

Despite a growing focus on the construction of highly enantioenriched silicon-stereogenic organosilicon compounds, the enantioselective synthesis of silicon-stereogenic silanols through asymmetric catalysis remains a considerable challenge. Herein, we realized enantioselective construction of silicon-stereogenic diarylsilanols via an Ir-catalyzed C-H silylation of diarylsilanols along with stereospecific substitution or Tamao-Fleming oxidation. This strategy gives rise to a class of chiral diol catalyst cores (PSiOLs). Transformation of PSiOLs led to the ligand possessing both Si and P-stereocenters, which is capable of inducing excellent enantioselectivity in the rhodium(I)-catalyzed conjugate 1,4-addition of aryl boronic acids to cyclohexenone.

Developing Chiral Dibenzazepine-Based S(O)-Alkene Hybrid Ligands for Rh(I) Complexation: Catalysts for the Base-Free Hayashi-Miyaura Reaction

A stereodivergent synthesis using inexpensive reagents, i.e., dibenzazepine and glucose-derived t-Bu-sulfinate diastereomers (RS)-6 or (SS)-6, affords respective S(O)-alkene hybrid ligands (S)-7 and (R)-7 on gram scales and in excellent optical purity (ee > 99%). Phenyl substitution of the dibenzoazepine backbone generates planar chirality to give epimerization-resistant (pS,RS)-10 diastereoisomer in high isomeric purity. Furthermore, the crystal structure of widely used sulfinate (RS)-6 is disclosed for the first time since its discovery a quarter of a century ago. Ligands 7 and 10 coordinate Rh(I) in a bidentate fashion through the S atoms and the alkene functions as evidenced by the crystal structures of complexes (R)-11 and (SN,SS)-12. (R)-11 catalyzes the conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to enones with enantioselectivities of up to 77% ee. The reaction proceeds smoothly also under base-free conditions at 40 °C. The planar chirality in ligand (pS,RS)-10 is shown to override and invert the sense of chiral induction predicted by the configuration of the sulfur donor atom.

Chiral N-aryl tert-butanesulfinamide-olefin ligands for rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of aryl boronic acids to cyclic enones

Chiral N-aryl sulfinamide-olefins which are readily synthesized via C-N coupling and nucleophilic substitution have been used as chiral ligands, which demonstrate moderate to excellent asymmetric catalytic performance in the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1

Tricyclic Sulfoxide-Alkene Hybrid Ligands for Chiral Rh(I) Complexes: The "Matched" Diastereomer Catalyzes Asymmetric C-C Bond Formations

Deprotonation of phenyldibenzo[b,f]tropylidene (8) with LDA/t-BuOK followed by quenching with either diastereomer of inexpensive glucose-based t-Bu-sulfinate (R)- or (S)-11 affords a sulfoxide-alkene hybrid ligand as the diastereomeric pairs (SS,SC)-9/(SS,RC)-10 and (RS,RC)-9/(RS,SC)-10, respectively, which via chromatographic/recrystallization may be separated into the four isomers. The optically pure diastereomeric ligands (SS,SC)-9 and (SS,RC)-10 react with [RhCl(coe)2]2 to form the dinuclear complexes (RS,SC)-11 and (RS,RC)-12, respectively, in which the bidentate ligands coordinate the metal centers through the sulfur and alkene donor functions. These complexes catalyze the conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to cyclic Michael acceptors with enantioselectivities of up to 99% ee. DFT calculations show the preponderant influence of planar chirality of the ligand alkene function. The enantioselectivity switch observed between (RS,SC)-11 and (RS,RC)-12 is explained by the inverted cis-trans coordinations of the substrate molecules in catalytic steps.

Chiral N-tert-butylsulfinyl vinyl aziridine ligands prepared from a readily available (R)-tert-butanesulfinamide have been applied in the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of aryl boronic acids to cyclic enones, which gives high yields and excelle

Chiral sulfoxide-olefin ligands: Tunable stereoselectivity in Rh-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-additions

A class of chiral sulfoxide-olefins were designed and synthesized through concise routes. Their applications as ligands in Hayashi-Miyaura reaction were studied, which found that vinyl substituents of the ligands vary in stereocontrolling ability. Particularly, either isomer of adducts with excellent ees could be readily obtained through changing the position of the substituents of olefins as well as changing the configuration of the CC bond of the ligands. Meanwhile, the substrate scope of arylboronic acids and alkenes was clearly shown.

Polymer-incarcerated chiral Rh/Ag nanoparticles for asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions of arylboronic acids to enones: Remarkable effects of bimetallic structure on activity and metal leaching

Robust and highly active bimetallic Rh nanoparticle (NP) catalysts, PI/CB Rh/Ag, have been developed and applied to the asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to enones without leaching of the metals. We found that the structures of the bimetallic Rh/Ag catalysts and chiral ligands strongly affect their catalytic activity and the amount of metal leaching. PI/CB Rh/Ag could be recycled several times by simple operations while keeping high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. To show the versatility of the PI/CB Rh/Ag catalyst, a one-pot, oxidation-asymmetric 1,4-addition reaction of an allyl alcohol and an arylboronic acid was demonstrated by combining the PI/CB Rh/Ag catalyst with PI/CB Au as an aerobic oxidation catalyst.

Chiral sulfoxide-olefin ligands: Completely switchable stereoselectivity in rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate additions

Have it both ways: A novel class of chiral sulfoxide-olefin ligands was synthesized from a single chiral source. These ligands were evaluated in rhodium-catalyzed 1,4-additions of arylboronic acids to electron-deficient olefins, and remarkable olefin-directed reversal of stereoselectivity (up to >99 ee, R isomer; 98 ee, S isomer) was observed when the reversal ligand pair L1 (branched olefin) and L2 (linear olefin) were utilized (see scheme).

A class of readily available and easily tunable benzene backbone-based olefin-sulfoxide ligands was developed for the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition reaction of arylboronic acids to enones with up to 97% yield and 97% ee.

Asymmetric 1,4-addition of organoboronic acids to α,β-unsaturated ketones and 1,2-addition to aldehydes catalyzed by a palladium complex with a ferrocene-based phosphine ligand

A combination of palladium with ferrocene-based phosphine ligand with a carbon-bromine bond was found to be a good catalyst for the 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to α,β-unsaturated ketones and the 1,2-addition to aldehydes. Using Pd(dba)2 and (S,Rp)-[1-(2-bromoferrocenyl)ethyl]diphenylphosphine (S,Rp)-1, 3-phenylcyclohexanone was obtained from the reaction of 2-cyclohexen-1-one with phenylboronic acid in the presence of K2CO3 in toluene at room temperature after 3 h in 92% yield with 76% ee. In the 1,2-addition of 4-methylphenylboronic acid to benzaldehyde, 96% of (4-methylphenyl)phenylmethanol was afforded after 24 h, while the enantiomeric excess was only 6%.
