Taking advantage of the opposite chirality of two privileged starting materials, l-cysteine and d-penicillamine, a wide range of thiazolidine-based amino alcohols was synthesized. l-Cysteine derivatives were more efficient chiral inductors than the d-peni

Paragraph 0125-0130, (2021/08/11)
The invention discloses a clamp-type molybdenum complex, a preparation method, a corresponding catalyst composition and application. The method comprises the steps: obtaining 9 molybdenum complexes with different structures through coordination reaction of 2-(substituent ethyl)-(5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydroquinolyl) amine and a corresponding carbonyl molybdenum metal precursor; and catalyzing a ketone compound transfer hydrogenation reaction through a molybdenum complex to generate 40 alcohol compounds. The preparation method of the molybdenum complex is simple, high in yield and good in stability. For a transfer hydrogenation reaction of ketone, the molybdenum-based catalytic system has high catalytic activity and small molybdenum loading capacity, is used for production of aromatic and aliphatic alcohols, and has the advantages of simple method, small environmental pollution and high yield.

Aydin, A. E.
, p. 901 - 909 (2020/07/03)
Abstract: Chiral norephedrine-derived β-amino alcohols with a thiophene moiety were synthesized from thiophene carbaldehydes (methyl- or ethyl-substituted) and chiral amino alcohols, such as both enantiomers of norephedrine and 2-aminopropanol. The synthesized ligands were applied to the catalytic asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes to obtain optically active alcohols with a high conversion (92%) and excellent enantioselectivities (ee up to 99%). The highest enantioselectivity (ee 99%) was obtained with p-trifluorobenzaldehyde as the substrate containing the strongly electron-acceptor CF3 group.

Herein, we demonstrate an efficient protocol for transfer hydrogenation of ketones using methanol as practical and useful liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) under Ir(III) catalysis. Various ketones, including electron-rich/electron-poor aromatic ketones, heteroaromatic and aliphatic ketones, have been efficiently reduced into their corresponding alcohols. Chemoselective reduction of ketones was established in the presence of various other reducible functional groups under mild conditions.

The design strategy and the performance of binaphthyl-based chiral ligands were evaluated with computation and enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes. Under optimized conditions, enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes provided the desired optically active secondary alcohols in high isolated yields (up to 91%) and excellent enantiomeric excesses (up to 98% ee).

Proline-based N,N′-dioxide ligands were designed on the basis of isosteric approach, and were successfully applied in enantioselective nucleophilic addition to aldehydes. In the presence of 10 mol% of chiral ligand 1b, enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes provided the corresponding secondary alcohols in up to 90% isolated yield and up to 99% ee. Similarly, using 3e as chiral ligand, enantioselective arylation and alkynylation of aldehydes also proceeded readily, leading to the desired chiral alcohols in up to 92% isolated yield at 99% ee and 80% isolated yields and up to 84% ee, respectively. The current work would shed light on expanding the structure diversity in the design of chiral ligands and chiral catalysts.

A new sterically hindered chiral P,N-ligand was synthesized and successfully applied to copper catalyzed asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes. Various aromatic aldehydes can react smoothly to give the corresponding addition products with good to excellent enantioselectivities, which provides a readily accessible method for the preparation of chiral secondary alcohols.

A library of new chiral thiazolidines was prepared starting from L-cysteine and D-penicillamine in a simple, one-step procedure. 2-Arylthiazolidines were obtained, as diastereoisomeric mixtures, with good yields and in short reaction times, through a new and greener procedure, using microwave irradiation. Their use as chiral ligands in the enantioselective ethylation of aromatic aldehydes was studied and optimized, originating good to excellent conversions and ee up to 94% in 6 h. A series of heteroaromatic and aliphatic substrates were also enantioselectively ethylated with success, with ee up to 77%. The distinct opposite chirality in L-cysteine and D-penicillamine makes the use of these ligands an interesting approach for obtaining both the (S) and (R) enantiomers of the chiral alcohols, compounds with potential applications in the area of fine chemistry. NMR studies were carried out using a diastereoisomeric mixture of thiazolidines, allowing the identification of the most stable structure. Computational studies confirmed this result and also gave important insight into the species involved in the catalytic cycle of the enantioselective alkylation.

Reaction of 8-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline with RuCl2(PPh3)3 at room temperature affords the ruthenium(ii) chelate (8-NH2-C9H10N)RuCl2(PPh3)2 (E), in which the two triphenylphosphine ligands are disposed mutually cis. By contrast, when the reaction is performed at reflux ligand oxidation/dehydrogenation occurs along with cis-trans reorganization of the triphenylphosphines to form the 8-imino-5,6,7-trihydroquinoline-ruthenium(ii) complex, (8-NH-C9H9N)RuCl2(PPh3)2 (F). Complex F can also be obtained in higher yield by heating a solution of E alone to reflux. Comparison of their molecular structures highlights the superior binding properties of the bidentate imine ligand in F over its amine-containing counterpart in E. Both complexes are highly effective in the transfer hydrogenation of a wide range of alkyl-, aryl- and cycloalkyl-containing ketones affording their corresponding secondary alcohols with loadings of as low as 0.1 mol%. Significantly, F can deliver excellent conversions even in bench quality 2-propanol in reaction vessels open to the air, whereas the catalytic efficiency of E is diminished by the presence of air but only operates efficiently under inert conditions.

The imidazolium salt [(S,S)-tBuNC3H3NCHPhCHPhNH2]PF6, (S,S)-11·HPF6 is a precursor to the enantiopure "Kaibene" ligand, tBu-Kaibene, (S,S)-11 featuring a tert-butyl group on the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ring-nitrogen atoms. It has been prepared in high yield and purity by refluxing a chiral cyclic sulfamidate with 1-tert-butylimidazole. Similarly (S,S)-12·HPF6 with a mesityl group at the imidazolium ring-nitrogen atom has been prepared in the same fashion and serves as a source of Mes-Kaibene, (S,S)-12. These bidentate Kaibene ligands feature an NHC and a primary amine separated by a chiral linker. Salts (S,S)-11·HPF6 or (S,S)-12·HPF6 react with base and AgI or CuI to give a total of four M(Kaibene)2I compounds (M = Ag or Cu). At 22 °C, the amine-functionalized imidazolium cations undergo oxidative addition to iridium(I) in [IrCl(cod)]2 (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) to generate iridium(III) hydride R-Kaibene compounds [IrHCl(cod)((S,S)-11)](PF6) (17) and [IrHCl(cod)((S,S)-12)](PF6) (18), respectively, each as a mixture of six configurational isomers. In contrast, the salt (S,S)-11·HPF6 reacts with [Ir(OtBu)(cod)]2 to produce a bimetallic iridium compound with (S,S)-11 as the bridging ligand. This compound contains interesting NH···Cl and NH···Ir noncovalent intramolecular interactions. Salt (S,S)-12·HPF6 reacts with silver oxide to yield [Ag2((S,S)-12)2](PF6)2 (20). Reagent 20 serves as an efficient transmetalation reagent to deliver to each rhodium in [RhCl(cod)]2 1 equiv of (S,S)-12 as a bidentate ligand to give [Rh(cod)((S,S)-12)](PF6). In the reaction between [IrCl(cod)]2 and 20, (S,S)-12 ends up coordinated in an iridium(III) hydride complex (22) as a tridentate ligand via the NHC, NH2, and a cyclometalated phenyl group. The two iridium hydride compounds, 18 and 22, are catalysts for the hydrogenation of a range of ketones (turnover number up to 499, turnover frequency up to 249 h-1, with er (enantiomeric ratio) up to 35:65 R:S).
