Stereoselective intermolecular oxymercurations of trisubstituted allylic ethers

Trisubstituted allylic ethers undergo intermolecular oxymercurations with good to excellent diastereoselectivity compared to the corresponding allylic alcohols. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

Alcohol Dehydrogenases and N-Heterocyclic Carbene Gold(I) Catalysts: Design of a Chemoenzymatic Cascade towards Optically Active β,β-Disubstituted Allylic Alcohols

The combination of gold(I) and enzyme catalysis is used in a two-step approach, including Meyer–Schuster rearrangement of a series of readily available propargylic alcohols followed by stereoselective bioreduction of the corresponding allylic ketone intermediates, to provide optically pure β,β-disubstituted allylic alcohols. This cascade involves a gold N-heterocyclic carbene and an enzyme, demonstrating the compatibility of both catalyst types in aqueous medium under mild reaction conditions. The combination of [1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene][bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)-imide]gold(I) (IPrAuNTf2) and a selective alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH-A from Rhodococcus ruber, KRED-P1-A12 or KRED-P3-G09) led to the synthesis of a series of optically active (E)-4-arylpent-3-en-2-ols in good yields (65–86 %). The approach was also extended to various 2-hetarylpent-3-yn-2-ol, hexynol, and butynol derivatives. The use of alcohol dehydrogenases of opposite selectivity led to the production of both allyl alcohol enantiomers (93->99 % ee) for a broad panel of substrates.

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.

The synthesis of non-racemic β-alkyl-β-aryl-disubstituted allyl alcohols and their transformation into allylamines and amino acids bearing a quaternary stereocenter

A synthesis of non-racemic β-alkyl-β-aryl allyl alcohols and their transformation into allylamines bearing a quaternary stereogenic center is reported. The allyl alcohols were prepared either by Cu-catalyzed enantioselective reduction of enones or by sequ

Enantioselective NiH/Pmrox-Catalyzed 1,2-Reduction of α,β-Unsaturated Ketones

The enantioselective 1,2-reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones was achieved using a NiH catalyst in the presence of pinacolborane. This mild process represents a general method to access a wide variety of structurally diverse α-chiral allylic alcohols in excellent yields and enantioselectivity, as well as very high levels of ambidoselectivity for 1,2- over 1,4-reduction. Furthermore, for reactions on a 10 mmol scale, catalyst loadings as low as 0.5 mol % could be employed to deliver product without any detrimental effect on the yield, enantio-, or ambidoselectivity.

Double Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Linear β,β-Disubstituted α,β-Unsaturated Ketones into γ-Substituted Secondary Alcohols using a Dual Catalytic System

Double asymmetric hydrogenation of linear β,β-disubstituted α,β-unsaturated ketones catalyzed by the DM-SEGPHOS/DMAPEN/RuII complex with t-C4H9OK afforded the γ-substituted secondary alcohols in high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Some mechanistic experiments suggested that two different reactive species, type (I) and (II), were reversibly formed in this catalytic system: Type (I) with the diamine ligand DMAPEN enantioselectively hydrogenated the enones into the chiral allylic alcohols, and type (II) without the diamine ligand diastereoselectively hydrogenated the allylic alcohols into the γ-substituted secondary alcohols. This dual catalysis protocol was successfully applied to the reaction of a variety of aliphatic- and aromatic-substituted enone substrates.

Rearrangement Reactions Leading to Optically Active α,α-Disubstituted Primary Allylamines

Synthetic routes to α,α-disubstituted allylamines have been examined. Racemic compounds were conveniently prepared by thermal Overman rearrangements of primary allylic alcohols with trisubstituted double bonds, but rearrangement of these substrates using

Highly enantioselective hydrogenation of steric hindrance enones catalyzed by Ru complexes with chiral diamine and achiral phosphane

An asymmetric hydrogenation of sterically hindered β,β- disubstituted enones has been well-established by using a ruthenium complex composed of an achiral diphosphane and a chiral diamine as catalyst, wherein the carbonyl group was selectively hydrogenated to give a wide range of chiral allylic alcohols with high levels of enantioselectivity and complete chemoselectivity.

Regioselective reductions of β,β-disubstituted enones catalyzed by nonracemically ligated copper hydride

CuH-catalyzed 1,2-additions to β,β-disubstituted α,β-unsaturated ketones have been further explored. Asymmetric reductions of enones lacking an α-substituent can be achieved with CuH complexed by DTBM-SEGPHOS in Et2O at -25 °C leading to the ge
