Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric Heck arylation of 2,3-dihydrofuran-effect of prolinate salts

Chiral ionic liquids (CILs) containing l-prolinate and l-lactate anions and non-chiral quaternary ammonium cations were employed in the palladium catalyzed enantioselective Heck arylation of 2,3-dihydrofuran with aryl iodides (iodobenzene, 4-iodotoluene, 2-iodoanisole, 4-iodoanisole, 4-iodoacetophenone). In all the reactions 2-aryl-2,3-dihydrofuran (3) was obtained as the main product with the yield up to 52% at the total conversion reaching 83%. Product 3, 2-phenyl-2,3-dihydrofuran, was obtained with excellent enantioselectivity (>99% ee) in a 6 h reaction with tetrabutylammonium l-prolinate. In the proposed homogeneous reaction Pd(0) nanoparticles are considered as a resting state of the catalyst and a source of soluble palladium species catalyzing the Heck reaction. The yield and stereoselectivity of the Heck reaction are strongly influenced by the kind of non-chiral cations present in CILs. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.

Synthesis, Application and Kinetic Studies of Chiral Phosphite-Oxazoline Palladium Complexes as Active and Selective Catalysts in Intermolecular Heck Reactions

This study identifies new phosphite-oxazoline ligands that have been successfully applied in the palladium-catalyzed intermolecular asymmetric Heck reaction. The design of the new phosphite-oxazoline ligands derives from a previous successful generation of phosphine-oxazoline ligands, by replacing the phosphine group with several π-acceptor biaryl phosphite moieties. With these simple modifications, the new phosphite-based ligands, unlike previous phosphine-oxazoline, not only present a modular design with numerous potential phosphite groups available, but they are also air-stable solids, which can be made in the same number of synthetic steps as the phosphine analogues. The substitution of the phosphine by a biaryl phosphite group extended the range of substrates and triflates sources that can be coupled with regio-, enantioselectivities and activities comparable to the few best ones reported. In addition, the ligands that provided the best selectivities contained an isopropyl oxazoline moiety instead of the tert-butyl group found in the related phosphine-oxazoline ligands, which is made from a much more expensive precursor. In this paper we have also carried out kinetic studies and a Hammett plot analysis to determine the rate determining step of this system in the regime of interest. We suggest a likely explanation for the fast Heck reaction of the phosphite-oxazoline catalysts. (Figure presented.).

Rational design of cyclopropane-based chiral PHOX ligands for intermolecular asymmetric Heck reaction

A novel class of chiral phosphanyl-oxazoline (PHOX) ligands with a conformationally rigid cyclopropyl backbone was synthesized and tested in the intermolecular asymmetric Heck reaction. Mechanistic modelling and crystallographic studies were used to predict the optimal ligand structure and helped to design a very efficient and highly selective catalytic system. Employment of the optimized ligands in the asymmetric arylation of cyclic olefins allowed for achieving high enantioselectivities and significantly suppressing product isomerization. Factors affecting the selectivity and the rate of the isomerization were identified. It was shown that the nature of this isomerization is different from that demonstrated previously using chiral diphosphine ligands.

A dramatic switch of enantioselectivity in asymmetric heck reaction by benzylic substituents of ligands

A series of benzylic substituted P,N-ligands 1 and 2 have been synthesized. The Pd-complexes of these ligands show high catalytic activity and enantioselectivity in catalyzing the asymmetric Heck reaction. A dramatic switch in enantioselectivity is realized using ligands with and without substituents at the benzylic position of the ligand. Ligands 1 with H as the substituents offer products in (R)-configuration while ligands 2 with the methyl as substituents result in (S)-configuration products. In most cases high enantioselectivities are achieved. Density functional theory calculations on the reaction mechanism as well as X-ray analysis of 1a-PdCl2 and 2a-PdCl2 complexes provide a rational explanation for the above observations.

Microwave-assisted asymmetric intermolecular heck reaction using phosphine-thiazole ligands

A series of new phosphine-thiazole compounds has been synthesized and used as efficient ligands in the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric intermolecular Heck coupling of 2,3-dihydrofuran with aryl triflates and cyclohexenyl triflate. Microwave heating was used to accelerate the reactions and gave complete conversions in as little as one hour. Products were obtained with good to excellent enantioselectivities.

The regioselectivity of the asymmetric intermolecular Heck reaction with planar chiral diphosphine-oxazoline ferrocenyl ligands

A series of novel planar chiral diphosphine-oxazoline ferrocenyl ligands were synthesized and used efficiently in the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric intermolecular Heck reaction of 2,3-dihydrofuran with aryl triflate and cyclohexenyl triflate. The tuning of the regioselectivity was realized by means of different palladium precursors and by changing the electronic factor of the ligands. A plausible rationale based on the existed mechanism is provided.

Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric intermolecular arylation of cyclic or acyclic alkenes using phosphinite-oxazoline ligands derived from D-glucosamine

Chiral phosphinite-oxazolines, 2-alkyl- or 2-aryl-4,5-(4,6-O-benzylidene-3-O-(diphenylphosphino)-1,2-di-deoxy-a-D- glucopyra-nosyl)-[2,1-d]-2-oxazolines 1a-f derived from D-glucosamine hydrochloride, are revealed to work as effective P,N-bidentate ligands in the palladium-catalyzed enantioselective arylation of 2,3-dihydrofuran to give 2-aryl-2,5-dihydrofuran selectively in high yield with up to 96% ee. The first asymmetric phenylation reaction of trans and cis-crotyl alcohols as acyclic alkenes with iodobenzene is also carried out to afford 3-phenylbutanal in moderate chemical yield with up to 17% ee. The complex [PdCl2(1b)] is newly prepared and its structure is characterized by X-ray crystallography. Structures of the new complex [(p-MeO2CC6H4)PdI(1a)] (8) and its cationic complex [(p-MeO2CC6H4)Pd(1a)]+OTf - (9) are also elucidated on the basis of 1H-, 13C-, and 31P-NMR spectra, p-MeO2CC6H4 moiety on the palladium being located trans to the nitrogen of 1a. This configuration might be responsible for an enantiofacial discrimination of 2,3-dihydrofuran to produce (R) isomer predominantly. The stoichiometric reaction of [PhPd(1f)]+OTf- (11) with 2,3-dihydrofuran has provided the mechanistic aspect for the arylation using P,N-ligands, in which the base-promoted deprotonation at β-position leading to an alkene(2-aryl-2,5-dihydrofuran)-palladium(0) complex has been shown to be an important step for the selective formation of the product.
