A high-yielding protocol for the synthesis of 4,5-diarylpyrimidin-2-amine derivatives from chalcones

A novel, high yielding and versatile protocol was achieved for the synthesis of 4,5-diaryl-2-pyrimidinamine derivatives from chalcones. The synthesis was accomplished by converting the chalcones into 3-chloro-2,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-ones followed by subsequent reaction with amidine derivatives.

Asymmetric Epoxidation of Enones Promoted by Dinuclear Magnesium Catalyst

Asymmetric synthesis with cheaper and non-toxic alkaline earth metal catalysts is becoming an important and sustainable alternative to conventional catalytic methodologies mostly relying on precious metals. In spite of some sustainable methods for enantioselective epoxidation of enones, the development of a well-defined and efficient catalyst based on magnesium complexes for these reactions is still a challenging task. In this perspective, we present the application of chiral dinuclear magnesium complexes for asymmetric epoxidation of a broad range of electron-deficient enones. We demonstrate that the in situ generated magnesium-ProPhenol complex affords enantioenriched oxiranes in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). Our extensive study verifies the literature data in this area and provides a step forward to better understand the factors controlling the oxygenation process. Elaborated catalyst offers mild reaction conditions and a truly wide substrate scope. (Figure presented.).

Asymmetric epoxidation of α,β-unsaturated ketones via an amine-thiourea dual activation catalysis

A simple asymmetric epoxidation method is developed to effectively synthesize chiral α-carbonyl epoxides through an amine-thiourea dual activation catalysis. In this method, TBHP, as an oxidant, determined the reaction rate, and the chiral amine-thiourea catalyst effectively controlled the stereoselectivity of the reaction, and KOH promoted deprotonation. 22 examples of α,β-unsaturated ketones with various substituent groups are smoothly converted into α-carbonyl epoxides with moderate to excellent enantiomeric excess.

Highly Enantioselective Epoxidation of α,β-Unsaturated Ketones Using Amide-Based Cinchona Alkaloids as Hybrid Phase-Transfer Catalysts

A series of 20 one chiral epoxides were obtained with excellent yields (up to 99%) and enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) using hybrid amide-based Cinchona alkaloids. Our method is characterized by low catalyst loading (0.5 mol %) and short reaction times. Moreover, the epoxidation process can be carried out in 10 cycles, without further catalyst addition to the reaction mixture. This methodology significantly enhance the scale of the process using very low catalyst loading.
