Copper-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate addition of dialkylzinc reagents to (2-pyridyl)sulfonyl imines of chalcones

The enantioselective catalytic 1,4-addition to αβ-unsaturated ketimines is an unprecedented process. Herein, we document the copper-catalyzed addition of dialkylzinc reagents to (2-pyridylsulfonyl)imines of chalcones. This process occurs rapidly in the presence of a chiral phosphoramidite ligand to afford exclusively the 1,4-addition product. In the case of addition of dimethylzinc, enantioselectivities in the range 70-80% ee are obtained. The presence of the metal-coordinating 2-pyridylsulfonyl group proved to be essential for this reaction to proceed.

Indene Derived Phosphorus-Thioether Ligands for the Ir-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Olefins with Diverse Substitution Patterns and Different Functional Groups

A family of phosphite/phosphinite-thioether ligands have been tested in the Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of a range of olefins (50 substrates in total). The presented ligands are synthesized in three steps from cheap indene and they are air-stable solids. Their modular architecture has been crucial to maximize the catalytic performance for each type of substrate. Improving most Ir-catalysts reported so far, this ligand family presents a broader substrate scope, covering different substitution patterns with different functional groups, ranging from unfunctionalized olefins, through olefins with poorly coordinative groups, to olefins with coordinative functional groups. α,β-Unsaturated acyclic and cyclic esters, ketones and amides werehydrogenated in enantioselectivities ranging from 83 to 99% ee. Enantioselectivities ranging from 91 to 98% ee were also achieved for challenging substrates such as unfunctionalized 1,1′-disubstituted olefins, functionalized tri- and 1,1′-disubstituted vinyl phosphonates, and β-cyclic enamides. The catalytic performance of the Ir-ligand assemblies was maintained when the environmentally benign 1,2-propylene carbonate was used as solvent. (Figure presented.).

Asymmetric Umpolung Hydrogenation and Deuteration of Alkenes Catalyzed by Nickel

Nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of several types of alkenes proceeds in high enantioselectivity, using acetic acid or water as the hydrogen source and indium powder as electron donor. The scope of alkenes herein include α,β-unsaturated esters, n

Catalytic Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of trans-Chalcone Derivatives Using BINOL-derived Boro-phosphates

Chiral phosphoric-acid-catalyzed asymmetric reductions of trans-chalcones have been investigated in this work. A BINOL-derived boro-phosphate-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of the carbon-carbon double bond of trans-chalcone derivatives employing borane as a hydride source was realized. This methodology provides a convenient procedure to access chiral dihydrochalone derivatives in high yields and with high enantioselectivities under mild conditions.

Rational Design of New Dihydrobenzooxophosphole-Based Lewis Base Organocatalysts

A series of new dihydrobenzooxophosphole-based Lewis base organocatalysts were designed and synthesized. They are shown to be effective in trichlorosilane-mediated stereoselective conjugate reductions of C=C bonds. DFT calculations reveal that the strong

Giving a Second Chance to Ir/Sulfoximine-Based Catalysts for the Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Olefins Containing Poorly Coordinative Groups

This work identifies a family of Ir/phosphite-sulfoximine catalysts that has been successfully used in the asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins with poorly coordinative or noncoordinative groups. In comparison with analogue Ir/phosphine-sulfoximine catalysts previously reported, the presence of a phosphite group extended the range of olefins than can be efficiently hydrogenated. High enantioselectivities, comparable to the best ones reported, have been achieved for a wide range of olefins containing relevant poorly coordinative groups such as α,β-unsaturated enones, esters, lactones, and lactams as well as alkenylboronic esters.

Enantioselective Cu-catalyzed 1,4-additions of organozinc and Grignard reagents to enones: Exceptional performance of the hydrido-phosphite-ligand BIFOP-H

Enantioselective Cu(I),(II)-(i.e. CuCl, CuCl2, Cu(OTf)2)-catalyzed 1,4-additions of organozinc, i.e. (Et, Me)2Zn, and Grignard reagents, i.e. (Et, Me)MgBr, to chalcone, cyclohexenone and chromone are studied, employing fencholate-based phosphorus ligands, e.g. biphenyl-2,2′-bisfenchyl hydrido phosphite = BIFOP-H. The CuCl·BIFOP-H-catalyzed 1,4-addition of Et2Zn to chalcone yields up to 93% and 99% ee, exceeding established BINOL- and TADDOL-based phosphoramidite ligands. Remarkably, CuCl performs better in 1,4-additions to chalcone (CuCl: 76% ee; Cu(OTf)2: 49% ee; CuCl2: 42% ee) while Cu(OTf)2 performs better in 1,4-additions to cyclohexenone (Cu(OTf)2: 65% ee; CuCl: 20% ee). The computation of the reaction pathway is done for the CuI-catalyzed 1,4-addition to chalcone (CuII will be in situ reduced to CuI by a reagent, TPSS-D3(BJ)/def2-TZVP//B3LYP-D3(BJ)/def2-SVP) for six different model ligands, i.e. (MeO)2P-X (X = H, F, Me, OMe, NMe2 and PMe3). Origins of enantioselectivities are analyzed (M06-2X-D3/def2-TZVP//B3LYP-D3(BJ)/def2-SVP) for transition structures of the 1,4-methylation of chalcone with the Cu·BIFOP-H catalyst and explain the experimentally observed (R)-enantiomer's preference.
