Enantioselective Resolution Copolymerization of Racemic Epoxides and Anhydrides: Efficient Approach for Stereoregular Polyesters and Chiral Epoxides

Herein we report an efficient strategy for preparing isotactic polyesters and chiral epoxides via enantioselective resolution copolymerization of racemic terminal epoxides with anhydrides, mediated by enantiopure bimetallic complexes in conjunction with a nucleophilic cocatalyst. The chirality of both the axial linker and the diamine backbones of the ligand are responsible for the chiral induction of this kinetic resolution copolymerization process. The catalyst systems exhibit exceptional levels of enantioselectivity with a kinetic resolution coefficient exceeding 300 for various racemic epoxides, affording highly isotactic copolymers (selectivity factors of more than 300) with a completely alternating structure and low polydispersity index. Most of the produced isotactic polyesters are typical semicrystalline materials with melting temperatures in the range from 77 to 160 °C.

Aromatic Donor-Acceptor Interaction-Based Co(III)-salen Self-Assemblies and Their Applications in Asymmetric Ring Opening of Epoxides

Aromatic donor-acceptor interaction as the driving force to assemble cooperative catalysts is described. Pyrene/naphthalenediimide functionalized Co(III)-salen complexes self-assembled into bimetallic catalysts through aromatic donor-acceptor interactions and showed high catalytic activity and selectivity in the asymmetric ring opening of various epoxides. Control experiments, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy titrations, mass spectrometry measurement, and X-ray crystal structure analysis confirmed that the catalysts assembled based on the aromatic donor-acceptor interaction, which can be a valuable noncovalent interaction in supramolecular catalyst development.

Application of homochiral alkylated organic cages as chiral stationary phases for molecular separations by capillary gas chromatography

Molecular organic cage compounds have attracted considerable attention due to their potential applications in gas storage, catalysis, chemical sensing, molecular separations, etc. In this study, a homochiral pentyl cage compound was synthesized from a condensation reaction of (S,S)-1,2-pentyl-1,2-diaminoethane and 1,3,5-triformylbenzene. The imine-linked pentyl cage diluted with a polysiloxane (OV-1701) was explored as a novel stationary phase for high-resolution gas chromatographic separation of organic compounds. Some positional isomers were baseline separated on the pentyl cage-coated capillary column. In particular, various types of enantiomers including chiral alcohols, esters, ethers and epoxides can be resolved without derivatization on the pentyl cage-coated capillary column. The reproducibility of the pentyl cage-coated capillary column for separation was investigated using nitrochlorobenzene and styrene oxide as analytes. The results indicate that the column has good stability and separation reproducibility after being repeatedly used. This work demonstrates that molecular organic cage compounds could become a novel class of chiral separation media in the near future.

Azidolysis of epoxides catalysed by the halohydrin dehalogenase from Arthrobacter sp. AD2 and a mutant with enhanced enantioselectivity: an (S)-selective HHDH

Halohydrin dehalogenase from Arthrobacter sp. AD2 catalysed azidolysis of epoxides with high regioselectivity and low to moderate (S)-enantioselectivity (E?=?1–16). Mutation of the asparagine 178 to alanine (N178A) showed increased enantioselectivity towards styrene oxide derivatives and glycidyl ethers. Conversion of aromatic epoxides was catalysed by HheA-N178A with complete enantioselectivity, however the regioselectivity was reduced. As a result of the enzyme-catalysed reaction, enantiomerically pure (S)-β-azido alcohols and (R)-α-azido alcohols (ee???99%) were obtained.

Chiral oligomers of spiro-salencobalt(III)X for catalytic asymmetric cycloaddition of epoxides with CO2

Several new chiral oligomers of spiro-salenCo(III)X (spiro = 1.1′-spirobiindane-7.7′-diol) complexes have been designed, synthesized, and characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared (IR), and elemental analyses, in which, the chiral spiro moieties are first introduced into a scaffold of chiral salenCo catalysts. They were used to catalyze the asymmetric cycloaddition of epoxides with carbon dioxide. Under very mild reaction conditions, a kinetic resolution of racemic epoxides with CO2 was smoothly initiated by these chiral oligomer catalysts with good enantioselectivities, which can be attributed to the match effect between chiral backbones of salen and spiro. High stability and easy recyclability are their major advantages.

Self-assembly approach toward chiral bimetallic catalysts: Bis-urea-functionalized (Salen)cobalt complexes for the hydrolytic kinetic resolution of epoxides

A series of novel bis-urea-functionalized (salen)Co complexes has been developed. The complexes were designed to form self-assembled structures in solution through intermolecular urea-urea hydrogen-bonding interactions. These bis-urea (salen)Co catalysts resulted in rate acceleration (up to 13atimes) in the hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of rac-epichlorohydrin in THF by facilitating cooperative activation, compared to the monomeric catalyst. In addition, one of the bis-urea (salen)CoIII catalyst efficiently resolves various terminal epoxides even under solvent-free conditions by requiring much shorter reaction time at low catalyst loading (0.03-0.05amol %). A series of kinetic/mechanistic studies demonstrated that the self-association of two (salen)Co units through urea-urea hydrogen bonds was responsible for the observed rate acceleration. The self-assembly study with the bis-urea (salen)Co by FTIR spectroscopy and with the corresponding (salen)Ni complex by 1HaNMR spectroscopy showed that intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions exist between the bis-urea scaffolds in THF. This result demonstrates that self-assembly approach by using non-covalent interactions can be an alternative and useful strategy toward the efficient HKR catalysis.
