Direct and Enantioselective Organocatalytic α-Chlorination of Aldehydes

The first direct enantioselective catalytic α-chlorination of aldehydes has been accomplished. The use of enamine catalysis has provided a new organocatalytic strategy for the enantioselective chlorination of aldehydes to generate α-chloro aldehydes, an i

Asymmetric Epoxidation of Olefins Catalyzed by Substituted Aminobenzimidazole Manganese Complexes Derived from L-Proline

A family of manganese complexes [Mn(Rpeb)(OTf)2] (peb=1-(1-ethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-N-((1-((1-ethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methyl) pyrrolidin-2-yl)methyl)-N-methylmethanamine)) derived from L-proline has been synthesized and characterized, where R refers to the group at the diamine backbone. X-ray crystallographic analyses indicate that all the manganese complexes [Mn(Rpeb)(OTf)2] exhibit cis-α topology. These types of complexes are shown to catalyze the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins employing H2O2 as a terminal oxidant with up to 96% ee. Obviously, the R group of the diamine backbone can influence the catalytic activity and enantioselectivity in the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins. In particular, Mn(i-Prpeb)(OTf)2 bearing an isopropyl arm, cannot catalyze the epoxidation reaction with H2O2 as the oxidant. However, when PhI(OAc)2 is used as the oxidant instead, all the manganese complexes including Mn(i-Prpeb)(OTf)2 can promote the epoxidation reactions efficiently. Taken together, these results indicate that isopropyl substitution on the Rpeb ligand inhibits the formation of active Mn(V)-oxo species in the H2O2/carboxylic acid system via an acid-assisted pathway.

Azidolysis of epoxides catalysed by the halohydrin dehalogenase from Arthrobacter sp. AD2 and a mutant with enhanced enantioselectivity: an (S)-selective HHDH

Halohydrin dehalogenase from Arthrobacter sp. AD2 catalysed azidolysis of epoxides with high regioselectivity and low to moderate (S)-enantioselectivity (E?=?1–16). Mutation of the asparagine 178 to alanine (N178A) showed increased enantioselectivity towards styrene oxide derivatives and glycidyl ethers. Conversion of aromatic epoxides was catalysed by HheA-N178A with complete enantioselectivity, however the regioselectivity was reduced. As a result of the enzyme-catalysed reaction, enantiomerically pure (S)-β-azido alcohols and (R)-α-azido alcohols (ee???99%) were obtained.

Catalytic Enantioselective Conversion of Epoxides to Thiiranes

A highly efficient and enantioselective Br?nsted acid catalyzed conversion of epoxides to thiiranes has been developed. The reaction proceeds in a kinetic resolution, furnishing both epoxide and thiirane in high yields and enantiomeric purity. Heterodimer formation between the catalyst and sulfur donor affords an effective way to prevent catalyst decomposition and enables catalyst loadings as low as 0.01 mol %.

Photocatalytic Asymmetric Epoxidation of Terminal Olefins Using Water as an Oxygen Source in the Presence of a Mononuclear Non-Heme Chiral Manganese Complex

Photocatalytic enantioselective epoxidation of terminal olefins using a mononuclear non-heme chiral manganese catalyst, [(R,R-BQCN)MnII]2+, and water as an oxygen source yields epoxides with relatively high enantioselectivities (e.g., up to 60% enantiomeric excess). A synthetic mononuclear non-heme chiral Mn(IV)-oxo complex, [(R,R-BQCN)MnIV(O)]2+, affords similar enantioselectivities in the epoxidation of terminal olefins under stoichiometric reaction conditions. Mechanistic details of each individual step of the photoinduced catalysis, including formation of the Mn(IV)-oxo intermediate, are discussed on the basis of combined results of laser flash photolysis and other spectroscopic methods.

Titanium cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (cis-DACH) salalen catalysts for the asymmetric epoxidation of terminal non-conjugated olefins with hydrogen peroxide

Chiral Ti salalen complexes catalyze the asymmetric epoxidation of terminal non-conjugated olefins with hydrogen peroxide. Modular ligands based on cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (cis-DACH) were developed, giving high yields and enantiomeric excesses (ee, up to 96%) at catalyst loadings as low as 0.1-0.5mol%, and even under solvent-free conditions.

A mononuclear manganese complex of a tetradentate nitrogen ligand - Synthesis, characterizations, and application in the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins

A new chiral manganese complex (C1) bearing a tetradentate nitrogen ligand containing chiral bipyrrolidine and benzimidazole moieties was prepared. The structure of C1 was confirmed by ESI-MS and crystallography. This manganese complex is an active catalyst for the asymmetric epoxidation of various olefins with excellent conversion (up to 99%) and high enantiomeric excess (up to 96%ee) with hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant in the presence of 2-ethylhexanoic acid or acetic acid. Compared with previous structurally similar manganese complexes with different diamine backbones (C2, cyclohexanediamine; C3, diamine from L-proline), C1 showed improved asymmetric induction, especially for simple olefins such as styrene derivatives and substituted chromene. The possible reasons for the improvement of the ee values are discussed in the text on the basis of the crystal structures of the manganese complexes.

Titanium salalen catalysts based on cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane: Enantioselective epoxidation of terminal non-conjugated olefins with H 2O2

Terminal, non-conjugated olefins, such as 1-octene, are difficult to epoxidize asymmetrically. Ti salalen complexes based on cis-1,2- diaminocyclohexane catalyze this demanding reaction giving high yields and enantioselectivities (up to 95 % ee), with H2O2 as the oxidant. The X-ray structures of the μ-oxo and peroxo complexes shed light on the coordination behavior of this novel class of ligands.

Shell cross-linked micelle-based nanoreactors for the substrate-selective hydrolytic kinetic resolution of epoxides

Shell cross-linked micelles (SCMs) containing Co(III)-salen cores were prepared from amphiphilic poly(2-oxazoline) triblock copolymers. The catalytic activity of these nanoreactors for the hydrolytic kinetic resolution of various terminal epoxides was investigated. The SCM catalysts showed high catalytic efficiency and, more significantly, substrate selectivity based on the hydrophobic nature of the epoxide. Moreover, because of the nanoscale particle size and the high stability, the catalyst could be recovered easily by ultrafiltration and reused with high activity for eight cycles.
