Chiral Heterobimetallic Bismuth–Rhodium Paddlewheel Catalysts: A Conceptually New Approach to Asymmetric Cyclopropanation

Cyclopropanation reactions of styrene derivatives with donor–acceptor carbenes formed in situ are significantly more enantioselective when catalyzed by the heterobimetallic bismuth–rhodium complex 5 a endowed with N-phthalimido tert-leucine paddlewheel ligands rather than by its homobimetallic dirhodium analogue 1 a. This virtue is likely the result of two synergizing factors: the conical shape of 5 a translates into a narrower calyx-like chiral binding site about the catalytically active Rh center; the Bi atom, although fully solvent exposed, does not decompose aryl diazoacetates and is hence incapable of promoting a racemic background reaction. Moreover, ligand variation proved that successful catalyst design mandates that the anisotropy of the conical heterobimetallic core be matched by proper directionality of the ligand sphere.

General Access to Modified α-Amino Acids by Bioinspired Stereoselective γ-C?H Bond Lactonization

α-Amino acids represent a valuable class of natural products employed as building blocks in biological and chemical synthesis. Because of the limited number of natural amino acids available, and of their widespread application in proteomics, diagnosis, drug delivery and catalysis, there is an increasing demand for the development of procedures for the preparation of modified analogues. Herein, we show that the use of bioinspired manganese catalysts and H2O2 under mild conditions, provides access to modified α-amino acids via γ-C?H bond lactonization. The system can efficiently target 1°, 2° and 3° γ-C?H bonds of α-substituted and achiral α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids with outstanding site-selectivity, good to excellent diastereoselectivity and (where applicable) enantioselectivity. This methodology may be considered alternative to well-established organometallic procedures.

Chiral amide compound and synthesis method thereof

The invention relates to a chiral amide compound and a synthesis method thereof, wherein the structural general formula of the chiral amide compound is. A chiral carboxylic acid is used as a basic raw material, a carboxyl group is converted into acid chloride and condensed with an aliphatic amine or an alkoxyamine group, the chiral amide is synthesized in a high yield, and the reaction operation is simple and efficient. The chiral amino acid is taken as a raw material, the amide compound is synthesized through a simple three-step method, the yield is high, the chirality of the obtained compound is determined by the chiral decision of the amino acid of the raw material, and the substrate selection range is wide. The obtained amide compound can be used as a ligand, has a plurality of sites and can be modified, so that the electric property of the ligand can be changed, and the steric hindrance of the ligand can be increased so as to adapt to different catalytic reactions.

Efficient Kinetic Resolution of Sulfur-Stereogenic Sulfoximines by Exploiting CpXRhIII-Catalyzed C?H Functionalization

Chiral sulfoximines with stereogenic sulfur atoms are promising motifs in drug discovery. We report an efficient method to access chiral sulfoximines through a C?H functionalization based kinetic resolution. A rhodium(III) complex equipped with a chiral Cpx ligand selectively participates in conjunction with phthaloyl phenylalanine in the C?H activation of just one of the two sulfoximine enantiomers. The intermediate reacts with various diazo compounds, providing access to chiral 1,2-benzothiazines with synthetically valuable substitution patterns. Both sulfoximines and 1,2-benzothiazines were obtained in high yields and excellent enantioselectivity, with s-values of up to 200. The utility of the method is illustrated by the synthesis of the key intermediates of two pharmacologically relevant kinase inhibitors.

Amino acid chiral ligand containing bidentate coordination group, chiral catalyst, and corresponding preparation methods and applications thereof

The present invention relates to an amino acid chiral ligand containing a bidentate coordination group, a chiral catalyst, and corresponding preparation methods and applications thereof. The chiral ligand is prepared from a cheap and easily available amino acid, and the development of the chiral ligand can improve the diversity of the chiral ligand. The chiral Ir (III) catalyst is simply and efficiently prepared from the chiral ligand only through a one-step reaction. The chiral Ir (III) catalyst is characterized in that a bidentate guiding group is introduced to an amino acid framework to change the original coordination mode of the amino acid and Ir in order to enhance the chiral control ability of the amino acid to the Ir(III) catalyst. The chiral Ir(III) catalyst is designed and synthesized for the first time, and the selectivity reaches up to 99% ee when the catalyst is successfully applied to the high-efficiency asymmetric synthesis of chiral gamma-cyclolactam, so the catalyst has superior stereo control ability.

Cooperative Effects between Chiral Cpx–Iridium(III) Catalysts and Chiral Carboxylic Acids in Enantioselective C?H Amidations of Phosphine Oxides

An enantioselective C?H amidation of phosphine oxides by using an iridium(III) catalyst bearing an atropchiral cyclopentadienyl (Cpx) ligand is reported. A very strong cooperative effect between the chiral Cpx ligand and a phthaloyl tert-leucine enabled the transformation. Matched–mismatched cases of the different acid enantiomers are shown. The amidated P-chiral arylphosphine oxides are formed in yields of up to 95 % and with excellent enantioselectivities of up to 99:1 er. Enantiospecific reduction provides access to valuable P-chiral phosphorus(III) compounds.

Use of a readily removable auxiliary group for the synthesis of pyrrolidones by the palladium-catalyzed intramolecular amination of unactivated γ C(sp3)-H Bonds

Easy on, easy off: Directing groups found to promote the palladium-catalyzed amination of γ C(sp3)-H and C(sp 2)-H bonds of secondary amides included 5-methoxy-8-aminoquinoline, which can be removed under mild conditions (see scheme; CAN=ceric ammonium nitrate). In conjunction with a β-C-H methylation or γ-C-H arylation step, the γ-C(sp3)-H amination provided access to complex pyrrolidones from readily available precursors. Copyright

Acylative kinetic resolution of racemic heterocyclic amines using N-phthaloyl-(S)-amino acyl chlorides with alkyl side chains

A comparative study of the acylative kinetic resolution of racemic 2-methyl-1,2,3,4 tetrahydroquinoline and 3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2H-[1,4] benzoxazine using N-phthaloyl-(S)-amino acyl chlorides with alkyl side chains has been carried out. The influence of steric factors on the stereoselectivity of the acylation was demonstrated. The (S)-enantiomers of the heterocyclic amines (ee >99%) were obtained in good yields via a kinetic resolution protocol using N-phthaloyl-(S)-leucyl chloride.

Practical synthesis of dirhodium(II) tetrakis[N-phthaloyl-(S)- tertleucinate]

An efficient and reliable procedure for the preparation of dirhodium(II) tetrakis[N-phthaloyl-(S)-tert-leucinate], Rh2(S-PTTL)4, a universally effective catalyst for a range of enantioselective carbene transformations, is described. The N-phthaloylation of (S)-tert-leucine by the method of Bose with essentially no racemization is a key to this process.
