The enantiomer-differentiation acylation (kinetic resolution) of 1-phenylalkylamines and their derivatives was carried out with (S)-2-phenylbutyric anhydride and its derivatives in aqueous and nonaqueous media. On the basis of the distributions of the two diastereomeric products, the molecular interactions between hydrocarbon residues responsible for the structural recognition of the reacting molecules were studied. In nonpolar media, the (R,S)-isomer was predominantly formed over the (S,S)-isomer. Moreover, the differentiation was mainly controlled by the size of the alkyl substituents of the substrates.

A highly fluorescent coordination cage [Zn8L4I 8] has been constructed by treating enantiopure pyridyl- functionalized metallosalalen units (L) with zinc(II) iodide and characterized by a variety of techniques including microanalysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, and single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. Strong intermolecular π-π, CH-π, and CH-I interactions direct packing of the cage molecules to generate a 3D polycage network interconnected by pentahedral cages formed by adjacent pentamers. The cage has an amphiphilic helical cavity decorated with chiral NH functionalities capable of interactions with guest species such as saccharides. The fluorescence of the cage was greatly enhanced by five enantiomeric saccharides in solution, with enantioselectivity factors of 2.480-4.943, and by five enantiomeric amines in the solid state, with enantioselective fluorescence enhancement ratios of 1.30-3.60. This remarkable chiral sensing of both saccharides and amines with impressive enantioselectivity may result from the steric confinement of the cavity as well as its conformational rigidity. It holds great promise for the development of novel chiral cage materials for sensing applications. Cage-based chiral sensor: A highly fluorescent coordination cage [Zn8L 4I8] can be prepared from enantiopure pyridyl- functionalized metallosalalen units (L). The cage has an amphiphilic helical cavity decorated with chiral NH functionalities and supramolecular interactions generate a 3D polycage network interconnected by pentahedral cages formed by adjacent pentamers (see graphic). The fluorescence of the cage is greatly enhanced either in solution or in the solid state in the presence of enantiomeric saccharides or amines, respectively, with significant enantioselectivity factors.

The development of heterogeneous, chemoselective, and tandem catalytic systems using abundant metals is vital for the sustainable synthesis of fine and commodity chemicals. We report a robust and recyclable single-site cobalt-hydride catalyst based on a porous aluminum metal–organic framework (DUT-5 MOF) for chemoselective hydrogenation of arenes. The DUT-5 node-supported cobalt(II) hydride (DUT-5-CoH) is a versatile solid catalyst for chemoselective hydrogenation of a range of nonpolar and polar arenes, including heteroarenes such as pyridines, quinolines, isoquinolines, indoles, and furans to afford cycloalkanes and saturated heterocycles in excellent yields. DUT-5-CoH exhibited excellent functional group tolerance and could be reusable at least five times without decreased activity. The same MOF-Co catalyst was also efficient for tandem hydrogenation–hydrodeoxygenation of aryl carbonyl compounds, including biomass-derived platform molecules such as furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural to cycloalkanes. In the case of hydrogenation of cumene, our spectroscopic, kinetic, and density functional theory (DFT) studies suggest the insertion of a trisubstituted alkene intermediate into the Co–H bond occurring in the turnover limiting step. Our work highlights the potential of MOF-supported single-site base–metal catalysts for sustainable and environment-friendly industrial production of chemicals and biofuels.

Herein, we disclose a transition-metal-free reaction system that enables α-cyanation of sulfonamides through C-H bond cleavage for the preparation of α-amino nitriles, including difficult-to-access all-alkyl α-tertiary scaffolds. More than 50 substrate examples prove a wide functional group tolerance. Additionally, its synthetic practicality is highlighted by gram-scalability and the late-stage modification of natural compounds. Mechanistic experiments suggest that this process involves in situ formation of an imine intermediate via base-promoted elimination of HF.

Chiral primary amines are important intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds. Fungal reductive aminases (RedAms) are NADPH-dependent dehydrogenases that catalyse reductive amination of a range of ketones with short-chain primary amines supplied in an equimolar ratio to give corresponding secondary amines. Herein we describe structural and biochemical characterisation as well as synthetic applications of two RedAms fromNeosartoryaspp. (NfRedAm andNfisRedAm) that display a distinctive activity amongst fungal RedAms, namely a superior ability to use ammonia as the amine partner. Using these enzymes, we demonstrate the synthesis of a broad range of primary amines, with conversions up to >97% and excellent enantiomeric excess. Temperature dependent studies showed that these homologues also possess greater thermal stability compared to other enzymes within this family. Their synthetic applicability is further demonstrated by the production of several primary and secondary amines with turnover numbers (TN) up to 14 000 as well as continous flow reactions, obtaining chiral amines such as (R)-2-aminohexane in space time yields up to 8.1 g L?1h?1. The remarkable features ofNfRedAmand NfisRedAm highlight their potential for wider synthetic application as well as expanding the biocatalytic toolbox available for chiral amine synthesis.

The direct conversion of ketones into chiral primary amines is a key transformation in chemistry. Here, we present a ruthenium catalyzed asymmetric reductive amination (ARA) of purely aliphatic ketones with good yields and moderate enantioselectivity: up to 99 percent yield and 74 percent ee. The strategy involves [Ru(PPh3)3H(CO)Cl] in combination with the ligand (S,S)-f-binaphane as the catalyst, NH4I as the amine source and H2 as the reductant. This is a straightforward and user-friendly process to access industrially relevant chiral aliphatic primary amines. Although the enantioselectivity with this approach is only moderate, to the extent of our knowledge, the maximum ee of 74 percent achieved with this system is the highest reported till now apart from enzyme catalysis for the direct transformation of ketones into chiral aliphatic primary amines.

Titania (TiO2) is widely used in the chemical industry as an efficacious catalyst support, benefiting from its unique strong metal-support interaction. Many proposals have been made to rationalize this effect at the macroscopic level, yet the underlying molecular mechanism is not understood due to the presence of multiple catalytic species on the TiO2 surface. This challenge can be addressed with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) featuring well-defined metal oxo/hydroxo clusters for supporting single-site catalysts. Herein we report that the Ti8(μ2-O)8(μ2-OH)4 node of the Ti-BDC MOF (MIL-125) provides a single-site model of the classical TiO2 support to enable CoII-hydride-catalyzed arene hydrogenation. The catalytic activity of the supported CoII-hydride is strongly dependent on the reduction of the Ti-oxo cluster, definitively proving the pivotal role of TiIII in the performance of the supported catalyst. This work thus provides a molecularly precise model of Ti-oxo clusters for understating the strong metal-support interaction of TiO2-supported heterogeneous catalysts.

A unique lipase (SpL) from Sphingomonas sp. HXN-200 was discovered as the first intracellular enzyme for the aminolysis of ester or acid to produce amide. Reactions of a series of esters and amines with SpL gave the corresponding amides 3a-g in high yield with high activity. SpL also showed high enantioselectivity and high activity for enantioselective ester aminolysis, producing amides (R)-3h-j in high ee from the corresponding racemic ester or amine. Moreover, SpL was found to be highly active for the aminolysis of carboxylic acid, which was generally considered infeasible with the known aminolysis enzymes. The aminolysis of several carboxylic acids afforded the corresponding amides 3a, 3d, 3k, 3l, and 3n in good yield. The intracellular SpL was expressed in Escherichia coli cells to give an efficient whole-cell biocatalyst for amide synthesis. Remarkably, high catalytic activity was observed in the presence of water at 2-4% (v/v) for free enzyme and 16% (v/v) for whole cells, respectively. Accordingly, E. coli (SpL) wet cells were used as easily available and practical catalysts for the aminolysis of ester or acid, producing a group of useful and valuable amides in high concentration (up to 103 mM) and high yield. The newly discovered intracellular SpL with unique properties is a promising catalyst for green and efficient synthesis of amides.

Over 50 years ago, Jencks and Gilchrist showed that formaldehyde catalyses the hydrolysis of phosphoramidate through electrophilic activation, induced by covalent attachment to its nitrogen atom. Given our interest in the use of aldehydes as catalysts, this work was revisited to identify a superior catalyst, o-phthalaldehyde, which facilitates hydrolyses of various organophosphorus compounds bearing P(O)-NH subunits under mild conditions. Interestingly, chemoselective hydrolysis of the P(O)-N bonds could be accomplished in the presence of P(O)-OR bonds.

Imine reductases (IREDs) have emerged as promising biocatalysts for the synthesis of chiral amines. In this study, the asymmetric imine reductase-catalyzed intermolecular reductive amination with NADPH as the hydrogen source was investigated. A highly chemo- and stereoselective imine reductase was applied for the reductive amination by using a panel of carbonyls with different amine nucleophiles. Primary and secondary amine products were generated in moderate to high yields with high enantiomeric excess values. The formation of the imine intermediate was studied between carbonyl substrates and methylamine in aqueous solution in the pH range of 4.0 to 9.0 by 1H NMR spectroscopy. We further measured the kinetics of the reductive amination of benzaldehyde with methylamine. This imine reductase-catalyzed approach constitutes a powerful and direct method for the synthesis of valuable amines under mild reaction conditions. IRED all about it: The intermolecular asymmetric reductive amination of carbonyls catalyzed by a stereoselective imine reductase produces chiral amines in high yields with high enantioselectivities. The reaction efficiency is attributed to its remarkable tolerance to high concentrations of amine nucleophiles, high pH values, high chemoselectivity towards imines, and high stereoselectivity of the biocatalyst.
