Iron-catalysed enantioselective Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of racemic alkyl bromides

The first iron-catalysed enantioselective Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction has been developed. In the presence of catalytic amounts of FeCl2 and (R,R)-QuinoxP?, lithium arylborates are cross-coupled with tert-butyl α-bromopropionate in an enantioconvergent manner, enabling facile access to various optically active α-arylpropionic acids including several nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) of commercial importance. (R,R)-QuinoxP? is specifically able to induce chirality when compared to analogous P-chiral ligands that give racemic products, highlighting the critical importance of transmetalation in the present asymmetric cross-coupling system.

Biocatalytic Parallel Interconnected Dynamic Asymmetric Disproportionation of α-Substituted Aldehydes: Atom-Efficient Access to Enantiopure (S)-Profens and Profenols

The biocatalytic asymmetric disproportionation of aldehydes catalyzed by horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH) was assessed in detail on a series of racemic 2-arylpropanals. Statistical optimization by means of design of experiments (DoE) allowed the identification of critical interdependencies between several reaction parameters and revealed a specific experimental window for reaching an ′optimal compromise′ in the reaction outcome. The biocatalytic system could be applied to a variety of 2-arylpropanals and granted access in a redox-neutral manner to enantioenriched (S)-profens and profenols following a parallel interconnected dynamic asymmetric transformation (PIDAT). The reaction can be performed in aqueous buffer at ambient conditions, does not rely on a sacrificial co-substrate, and requires only catalytic amounts of cofactor and a single enzyme. The high atom-efficiency was exemplified by the conversion of 75 mM of rac-2-phenylpropanal with 0.03 mol% of HLADH in the presence of ～0.013 eq. of oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), yielding 28.1 mM of (S)-2-phenylpropanol in 96% ee and 26.5 mM of (S)-2-phenylpropionic acid in 89% ee, in 73% overall conversion. Isolated yield of 62% was obtained on 100 mg-scale, with intact enantiopurities. (Figure presented.).

Easily accessible TADDOL-derived bisphosphonite ligands: Synthesis and application in the asymmetric hydroformylation of vinylarenes

The synthesis of chiral bidentate bisphosphonite ligands based on the TADDOL motif from readily available starting materials has been developed. Taking advantage of the modular nature of the building blocks, a diverse ligand library has been prepared. Their catalytic potential has been evaluated in the asymmetric hydroformylation of styrene and derivatives. These catalysts showed high activity and provided the aldehydes in high enantiomeric purity.

Microbial asymmetric decarboxylation of fluorine-containing arylmalonic acid derivatives

α-Methyl-α-(trifluoromethylphenyl)malonic acids have been incubated with Alcaligenes bronchisepticus to afford optically active α-arylpropionic acids.Generally, the chemical and optical yields of the reaction products were higher when the substituents on the aromatic ring were strongly electron-withdrawing.Decarboxylation of α-fluoro-α-phenylmalonic acid with the aid of the same bacterium afforded optically active α-fluoro-α-phenylacetic acid.
