Fine-Tuning the Bicyclo[3.3.1]nona-2,6-diene Ligands: Second Generation 4,8-Substituted Dienes for Rh-Catalyzed Asymmetric 1,4-Addition Reactions

Design and synthesis of the second generation C2-symmetric 4,8-endo,endo-bis(alkoxy) bicyclo[3.3.1]nona-2,6-diene ligands possessing additional 4,8-exo,exo substituents is reported. The 4,8-exo,exo groups provide a further element for fine-tuning of the ligand structure by enforcing conformational rigidity of the 4,8-endo,endo side chains. Such tetrasubstituted bicyclo[3.3.1]nona-2,6-dienes were employed as steering ligands in the rhodium-catalyzed arylation of cyclic enones with arylboronic acids, providing the corresponding 1,4-addition products in good to excellent yields (69–99 %) and enantioselectivities up to 99 % ee.

Enantioselective Hydrogenation of Endocyclic Enones: the Solution to a Historical Problem?

The enantioselective hydrogenation of endocyclic enones has been a historical problem for homogeneous catalysis. We herein report an efficient method to reduce endocyclic enones with molecular hydrogen. Catalyzed by a rhodium/Zhaophos complex, a variety of enones with five-, six- or seven-member ring were hydrogenated with high enantioselectivity (92%—99% ee). Excellent chemo- and enantioselectivity demonstrated this method was successfully applied in the enantioselective hydrogenation of citral to produce enantio-enriched citronellal.

Steric Tuning of Sulfinamide/Sulfoxides as Chiral Ligands with C1, Pseudo-meso, and Pseudo-C2 Symmetries: Application in Rhodium(I)-Mediated Arylation

A new family of sulfinamide/sulfoxide derivatives was synthesized as chiral bidentate ligands by stereoselective additions of methylsulfinyl carbanions to N-tert-butylsulfinylimines. The new ligands, with C1, pseudo-meso, and pseudo-C2 symmetries, were successfully assayed in Rh-catalyzed additions of arylboronic acids to activated ketones. The sterically dissymmetric C1 ligand (RS,SC,RS)-N-[1-(phenylsulfinyl)-3-methylbut-2-yl] tert-butylsulfinamide turned out to be the optimal one, allowing the 1,4-additions of diverse arylboronic acids, on different α,β-unsaturated cyclic ketones with high chemical yields and enantioselectivities up to >99% ee.

Synthesis of Highly Enantioenriched Propelladienes and their Application as Ligands in Asymmetric Rh-Catalyzed 1,4-Additions

The first synthesis of highly enantioenriched [4.3.3]propelladienes is reported. The novel bridged bicyclo[3.3.0] dienes were applied as steering ligands in the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric arylation of cyclic enones. The catalytic system showed high catalytic activity, and the 1,4-adducts were obtained in good to excellent yields (46-99%) with enantioselectivities up to 96% ee.

Design and synthesis of polymeric chiral bicyclo[3.3.0] diene as reusable ligand for rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition

A series of A-B type sterically regular bicyclio[3.3.0] diene-based polymers were designed and synthesized as immobilized chiral diene ligands for asymmetric catalysis. With polymeric diene 6b, good to excellent enantioselectivities can be achieved in Rh-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to α,β-unsaturated ketones. A series of A-B type sterically regular bicyclio[3.3.0] diene-based polymers were designed and synthesized as immobilized chiral diene ligands for asymmetric catalysis. By using polymeric diene, good to excellent enantioselectivities can be achieved in Rh-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to α,β-unsaturated ketones. Copyright

Expanding the C1-symmetric bicyclo[2.2.1]heptadiene ligand family: Highly enantioselective synthesis of cyclic β-aryl-substituted carbonyl compounds

The efficient preparation of highly enantioenriched cyclic β-aryl-substituted carbonyl compounds has been achieved through the Rh I-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of an array of arylboronic acids to cyclic α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. In the presence of 0.1 or 0.5 mol-% of the RhI/1g complex, the products of conjugate addition were isolated in 89 to 98%ee and in good to excellent yield.
