Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Diaryl Ketones with Ethanol Catalyzed by Chiral NCP Pincer Iridium Complexes

The use of a chiral (NCP)Ir complex as the precatalyst allowed for the discovery of asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of diaryl ketones with ethanol as the hydrogen source and solvent. This reaction was applicable to various ortho-substituted diaryl keontes, affording benzhydrols in good yields and enantioselectivities. This protocol could be carried out in a gram scale under mild reaction conditions. The utility of the catalytic system was highlighted by the synthesis of the key precursor of (S)-neobenodine.

Chiral amino-pyridine-phosphine tridentate ligand, manganese complex, and preparation method and application thereof

The invention discloses a chiral amino-pyridine-phosphine tridentate ligand, a manganese complex, and a preparation method and application thereof. The chiral amino-pyridine-phosphine tridentate ligand is shown as a formula II, and the manganese complex of the chiral amino-pyridine-phosphine tridentate ligand can be used for efficiently catalyzing and hydrogenating ketone compounds to prepare chiral alcohol compounds in a high enantioselectivity mode. The chiral amino-pyridine-phosphine tridentate ligand and the manganese complex are simple in synthesis process, good in stability, high in catalytic activity and mild in reaction conditions.

Lutidine-Based Chiral Pincer Manganese Catalysts for Enantioselective Hydrogenation of Ketones

A series of MnI complexes containing lutidine-based chiral pincer ligands with modular and tunable structures has been developed. The complex shows unprecedentedly high activities (up to 9800 TON; TON=turnover number), broad substrate scope (81 examples), good functional-group tolerance, and excellent enantioselectivities (85–98 % ee) in the hydrogenation of various ketones. These aspects are rare in earth-abundant metal catalyzed hydrogenations. The utility of the protocol have been demonstrated in the asymmetric synthesis of a variety of key intermediates for chiral drugs. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicate that an outer-sphere mode of substrate–catalyst interactions probably dominates the catalysis.

Substituent Position-Controlled Stereoselectivity in Enzymatic Reduction of Diaryl- and Aryl(heteroaryl)methanones

We report here the discovery of a novel ketoreductase (KRED), named KmCR2, with a broad substrate spectrum on bioreduction of sterically bulky diaryl- and aryl(heteroaryl)methanones. The position of the substituent on aromatic rings (meta versus para or ortho) was revealed to control the stereospecificity of KmCR2. The stereoselective preparation of both enantiomers of diaryl- or aryl(heteroaryl)methanols using strategically engineered substrates with a traceless directing group (bromo group) showcased the potential application of this substrate-controlled bioreduction reaction. The combined use of substrate engineering and protein engineering, was demonstrated to be a useful strategy in efficiently improving stereoselectivity or switching stereopreference of enzymatic processes. (Figure presented.).

Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Polysubstituted Aromatic Ketones Catalyzed by the DIPSkewphos/PICA Derivative–Ruthenium(II) Complexes

The DIPSkewphos/PICA derivative-Ru(II) complexes catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of significantly sterically hindered 2’,3’,4’,5’,6’-pentamethylacetophenone, which was not reduced with NaBH4 at 25 °C, with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio

Efficient Access to Chiral Benzhydrols via Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Unsymmetrical Benzophenones with Bifunctional Oxo-Tethered Ruthenium Catalysts

A concise asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of diaryl ketones, promoted by bifunctional Ru complexes with an etherial linkage between 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine (DPEN) and η6-arene ligands, was successfully developed. Because of the effective discrimination of substituents at the ortho position on the aryl group, unsymmetrical benzophenones were smoothly reduced in a 5:2 mixture of formic acid and triethylamine with an unprecedented level of excellent enantioselectivity. For the non-ortho-substituted benzophenones, the oxo-tethered catalyst electronically discerned biased substrates, resulting in attractive performance yielding chiral diarylmethanols with >99% ee.

Synthesis of modular thiophene-oxazoline ligands and their application in the asymmetric phenyl transfer reaction to aldehydes

A series of thiophene mono (oxazoline) N,O-ligands with three sites of diversity were synthesized concisely in two steps from the corresponding thiophene carbonitriles. These ligands were applied to the enantioselective phenyl transfer reaction of aldehydes, resulting in the corresponding chiral diaryl methanol products with excellent yields and moderate to good enantioselectivities.

Catalyzed asymmetric aryl transfer reactions to aldehydes with boroxines as aryl source

Asymmetric aryl transfer of triphenylboroxin to a set of aryl aldehydes has been carried out in the presence of chiral amino alcohols derived from (S)-proline with high enantioselectivity. Substituted phenyl boroxins were also used as aryl source in asymmetric arylation of benzaldehyde.

Preparative syntheses of optically pure ortho-substituted benzhydrols by asymmetric reductions of the corresponding benzophenones

Lithium aluminium hydride previously treated with 2.5 equivalents of (S)-(+) or (R)-(-)-2-(2-iso-indolinyl)butan-1-ol 3 (readily available reagents) reduced the five ortho-substituted benzophenones 4-6, 8 and 10 into the corresponding optically active benzhydrols with nearly 100% enantiomeric excesses. Other examples of asymmetric reductions of prochiral benzophenones are given.
