An efficient lipase-catalyzed stereoselective transesterification reaction system was established for resolution of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanol (MOPE) enantiomers. A series of lipases were tested and compared. The immobilized lipase Novozym 40086 is selected as the best choice. The effects of organic solvent, acyl donor, time and temperature on substrate conversion (c), and optical purity of the remaining substrate (eeS) were investigated. Response surface methodology and central composite design were employed to evaluate the effect of some important factors and to optimize the process. Under the optimized conditions including solvent of n-hexane, acyl donor of vinyl acetate, temperature of 35°C, substrate molar ratio of 1:6, enzyme dosage of 20 mg, and reaction time of 2.5 h, eeS of 99.87% with c of 56.71% is achieved. The use of alkane solvent and immobilized enzyme, the mild reaction conditions, and the reduced reaction time make the system promising in industrial application.

Most ligands applied for asymmetric hydrogenation are synthesized via multistep reactions with expensive chemical reagents. Herein, a series of novel and easily accessed cinchona-alkaloid-based NNP ligands have been developed in two steps. By combining [Ir(COD)Cl]2, 39 ketones including aromatic, heteroaryl, and alkyl ketones have been hydrogenated, all affording valuable chiral alcohols with 96.0-99.9% ee. A plausible reaction mechanism was discussed by NMR, HRMS, and DFT, and an activating model involving trihydride was verified.

The invention discloses C. 3 Chiral ligand H with symmetric amide bond3 L Relates to the technical field of material chemistry and chiral chemistry. The invention further provides the chiral ligand H. 3 L Preparation method and application thereof. The present invention has the advantage that the chiral ligand H of the present invention is a chiral ligand. 3 The L has a higher C. 3 The symmetric and flexible amide group enables coordination of the lanthanide metal ions with high coordination number and high oxygen affinity to be assembled into a novel structure-structure lanthanide metal chiral porous coordination cage. Moreover, the abundant chiral amide groups and amino acid residues on the ligand framework can be directly introduced into the synthesized lanthanide metal chiral porous coordination cage, thereby being beneficial to generating multiple chiral recognition sites and unique chiral microenvironments which mimic the biological enzyme binding pocket and further realize the purpose of high enantioselectivity separation of a series of chiral small molecule compounds.

Deracemization of racemic chiral compounds is an attractive approach in asymmetric synthesis, but its development has been hindered by energetic and kinetic challenges. Here we describe a catalytic deracemization method for secondary benzylic alcohols which are important synthetic intermediates and end products for many industries. Driven by visible light only, this method is based on sequential photochemical dehydrogenation followed by enantioselective thermal hydrogenation. The combination of a heterogeneous dehydrogenation photocatalyst and a chiral molecular hydrogenation catalyst is essential to ensure two distinct pathways for the forward and reverse reactions. These reactions convert a large number of racemic aryl alkyl alcohols into their enantiomerically enriched forms in good yields and enantioselectivities.
Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Alcohols by Enantioselective Silylation Enabled by Two Orthogonal Transition-Metal Catalysts
Oestreich, Martin,Seliger, Jan
, p. 247 - 251 (2020/10/29)
A nonenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of acyclic and cyclic benzylic alcohols is reported. The approach merges rapid transition-metal-catalyzed alcohol racemization and enantioselective Cu-H-catalyzed dehydrogenative Si-O coupling of alcohols and hydrosilanes. The catalytic processes are orthogonal, and the racemization catalyst does not promote any background reactions such as the racemization of the silyl ether and its unselective formation. Often-used ruthenium half-sandwich complexes are not suitable but a bifunctional ruthenium pincer complex perfectly fulfills this purpose. By this, enantioselective silylation of racemic alcohol mixtures is achieved in high yields and with good levels of enantioselection.

Unification of oxidation and reduction in a one-pot deracemization process has great significance in the preparation of enantioenriched organic molecules. However, the intrinsic mutual deactivation of oxidative and reductive catalysts and the extrinsic incompatible reaction conditions are unavoidable challenges in a single operation. To address these two issues, we develop a supported dual catalysts system to overcome these conflicts from incompatibility to compatibility, resulting in an efficient one-pot redox deracemization of secondary alcohols. During this transformation, the TEMPO species onto the outer surface of silica nanoparticles catalyze the oxidation of racemic alcohols to ketones, and the chiral Rh/diamine species in the nanochannels of the thermoresponsive polymer-coated hollow-shell mesoporous silica enable the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones to chiral alcohols. To demonstrate the general feasibility, a series of orthogonal oxidation/ATH cascade reactions are compared to prove the compatible benefits in the elimination of their deactivations and the balance of the cascade directionality. As presented in this study, this redox deracemization process provides various chiral alcohols with enhanced yields and enantioselectivities relative to those from unsupported dual catalysts systems. Furthermore, the dual catalysts can be recycled continuously, making them an attractive feature in the application.

It is extremely difficult to anticipate the structure and the stereochemistry of a complex, particularly when the ligand is flexible and the metal node adopts diverse coordination numbers. When trivalent lanthanides (LnIII) and enantiopure amino acid ligands are utilized as building blocks, self-assembly sometimes yields rare chiral polynuclear structures. In this study, an enantiopure carboxyl-functionalized amino acid-based ligand with C3 symmetry reacts with lanthanum cations to give a homochiral porous coordination cage, (Δ/λ)12-PCC-57. The dodecanuclear lanthanide cage has an unprecedented octahedral "cage-in-cage"framework. During the self-assembly, the chirality is transferred from the enantiopure ligand and fixed by the binuclear lanthanide cluster to give 12 metal centers that have either Δor λ homochiral stereochemistry. The cage exhibits excellent enantioselective separation of racemic alcohols, 2,3-dihydroquinazolinones, and multiple commercially available drugs. This finding exhibits a rare example of a multinuclear lanthanide complex with a dual-walled topology and homochirality. The highly ordered self-assembly and self-sorting of flexible amino acids and lanthanides shed light on the chiral transformation between different complicated artificial systems that mimic natural enzymes.

Chitosan is an abundant and renewable chirality source of natural origin. The effect of the preparation conditions by alkaline hydrolysis of chitin on the properties of chitosan was studied. The materials obtained were used as ligands in the ruthenium-catalysed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic prochiral ketones and oxidative kinetic resolution of benzylic alcohols as well as organocatalysts in the Michael addition of isobutyraldehyde to N-substituted maleimides. The degrees of deacetylation of the prepared materials were determined by 1H NMR, FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy, the molecular weights by viscosity measurements, their crystallinity by WAXRD, and their morphology by SEM and TEM investigations. The materials were also characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The biopolymers which have molecular weights in a narrow (200-230 kDa) range and appropriate (80-95%) degrees of deacetylation were the most efficient ligands in the enantioselective transfer hydrogenation, whereas in the oxidative kinetic resolution the activity of the complexes and the stereoselectivity increased with the degree of deacetylation. The chirality of the chitosan was sufficient to obtain enantioselection in the Michael addition of isobutyraldehyde to maleimides in the aqueous phase. Interestingly, the biopolymer afforded the opposite enantiomer in excess compared to the monomer, d-glucosamine. In this reaction, good correlation between the degree of deacetylation and the catalytic activity was found. These results are novel steps in the application of this natural, biocompatible and biodegradable polymer in developing environmentally benign methods for the production of optically pure fine chemicals.

The direct enantioselective hydroxylation of benzylic C-H bonds to form chiral benzylic alcohols represents a challenging transformation. Herein, we report on the exploration of new biologically inspired manganese and iron complexes bearing highly electron-rich aminopyridine ligands containing 4-pyrrolidinopyridine moieties ((S,S)-1, (R,R)-1, 2 and 5) in combination with chiral bis-pyrrolidine and N,N-cyclohexanediamine backbones in enantioselective oxidation catalysis with aqueous H2O2. The current manganese complexes outperform the analogous manganese complexes containing 4-dimethylaminopyridine moieties (3 and 4) in benzylic oxidation reactions in terms of alcohol yield while keeping similar ee values (～60% ee), which is attributed to the higher basicity of the 4-pyrrolidinopyridine group. A detailed investigation of different carboxylic acid additives in enantioselective benzylic oxidation provides new insights into how to rationally enhance enantioselectivities by means of proper tuning of the environment around the catalytic active site, and has resulted in the selection of Boc-l-Tert-leucine as the preferred additive. Using these optimized conditions, manganese complex 2 was shown to be effective in the enantioselective benzylic oxidation of a series of arylalkane substrates with up to 50% alcohol yield and 62% product ee. A final set of experiments also highlights the use of the new 4-pyrrolidinopyridine-based complexes in the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins (up to 98% epoxide yield and >99% ee).

Heterogeneous catalyst has an edge over homogeneous systems in terms of recyclability, activity, stability and recovery. Silica has evolved as a good support material in heterogeneous systems due to its stability and ability to get modified as per the end application. Herein, we report a novel chiral Ni-Schiff base derived catalyst and its immobilization into mesoporous silica which was synthesized by post-grafting process. The chiral catalyst demonstrated remarkably high catalytic activity, enantioselectivity (up to 99 % enantiomers excess) for heterogeneous asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of various ketones. The developed catalyst was characterized by Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET isotherm), Scanning Electron Microscopy – Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), High Resolution – Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and elemental analysis. The catalyst could be recovered and reused for multiple consecutive runs without losing the enantioselectivity. The chiral catalyst was used in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reaction for synthesizing enantiomerically pure drug intermediate Montekulast.
