Enantioselective addition of organozinc reagents to carbonyl compounds catalyzed by a camphor derived chiral γ-amino thiol ligand

In this article, the design and synthesis of the chiral camphor derived γ-amino thiol ligand 17 and its application in catalytic enantioselective carbon-carbon forming reactions through the addition of organozinc reagents to carbonyl compounds is described. The catalytic activity and enantioselectivity of ligand 17 is demonstrated in the enantioselective addition of various organozinc reagents to aldehydes and ketoesters, offering the corresponding alcohols in high yields and enantioselectivities. The role of the mercapto group in the highly enantioselective 1,2-addition reaction of organozincs to aldehyde is also discussed.

Catalytic enantioselective synthesis of secondary allylic alcohols from terminal alkynes and aldehydes via 1-alkenylboron reagents

A practical one-pot method has been developed for preparing enantioenriched secondary allylic alcohols starting from terminal alkynes and aldehydes. Hydroboration of terminal alkynes with dicyclohexylborane and subsequent reaction of the resulting alkenylboron reagents with aldehydes in the presence of a catalytic amount (5 mol %) of 3-(3,5-diphenylphenyl)-H8-BINOL and excess titanium tetraisopropoxide afforded the corresponding allylic alcohols in high enantioselectivities up to 94% ee.

Aziridine-modified amino alcohols as efficient modular catalysts for highly enantioselective alkenylzinc additions to aldehydes

N-Tritylaziridino alcohols have been easily synthesized in a straightforward synthetic route from an inexpensive and easily available chiral pool. They were used in the enantioselective alkenylzinc additions to aldehydes furnishing the products in excelle

Highly selective 1,3-isomerization of allylic alcohols via rhenium oxo catalysis

Two reaction strategies are developed to promote the highly selective 1,3-isomerization of a variety of allylic alcohols using O3ReOSiPh3 as a catalyst. The first strategy utilizes substrates whose 1,3-regioisomer contains a conjugated alkene, which relies on thermodynamics to obtain high selectivity. The second strategy employs N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide as an additive to selectively and irreversibly remove the product from the reaction equilibrium and works well for the isomerization of tertiary allylic alcohols into primary allylic alcohols containing trisubstituted alkene components. High stereoselectivity is also observed in the 1,3-isomerization of enantioenriched allylic alcohols. Copyright

New β-amino thiols as efficient catalysts for highly enantioselective alkenylzinc addition to aldehydes

A series of new optically active β-amino thiols and thiolacetates prepared from the simple natural amino acid, (S)-(-)-valine, were found to be effective catalysts for the enantioselective addition of alkenylzinc to aldehydes and thereby providing an effi

Enantioselective addition of vinylzinc reagents to aldehydes catalyzed by modular ligands derived from amino acids

A series of N-acylethylenediamine-based ligands were synthesized from Boc-protected amino acids. The ligands were screened for the ability to catalyze the asymmetric addition of vinylzinc reagents to aldehydes. Three sites of diversity on the ligands were optimized for this reaction using a positional scanning approach. The optimized ligand 3d was found to catalyze the formation of 15 different (E)-allylic alcohols with enantioselectivities that ranged from 52 to 91% ee and yields that ranged from 40 to 90%. This ligand was especially effective for the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with vinylzinc reagents derived from bulky terminal alkynes. Ligand 3d catalyzed the addition of (E)-(3,3-dimethylbut-1-enyl)(ethyl)zinc to 2-naphthaldehyde to give (R,E)-4,4-dimethyl-1-(naphthalene-1-yl)pent-2-en-1-ol in 89% ee. The ee of this product could be increased to 97% through a single recrystallization.

A positional scanning approach to the discovery of dipeptide-based catalysts for the enantioselective addition of vinylzinc reagents to aldehydes

A combinatorial library of dipeptide N-acylethylenediamine-based ligands was synthesized by parallel solid-phase methods. These ligands were screened in crude form as catalysts for the asymmetric addition of vinylzinc reagents to aldehydes to give chiral allylic alcohols. Three sites of diversity on the ligands were optimized using a positional scanning approach. The optimized structure from the library, ligand 54, was found to catalyze the formation of 10 different (E)-allylic alcohols with enantioselectivities ranging from 90% to 95% ee. This ligand was effective for both aromatic and α-branched aldehydes, and vinylzinc reagents derived from both bulky and straight chain terminal alkynes.

Solid-phase synthesis of chiral N-acylethylenediamines and their use as ligands for the asymmetric addition of alkylzinc and alkenylzinc reagents to aldehydes

A solid-phase procedure has been developed for the synthesis of chiral N-acylethylenediamine ligands. The ligands are obtained in good yield and purity, without the need for chromatography or other purification methods. Several new and previously reported ligands were prepared using this procedure. These compounds were examined as catalysts for the enantioselective addition of alkylzinc reagents to aldehydes. In all cases, the crude ligands from the solid-phase syntheses catalyzed the reactions with similar yields and stereoselectivities when compared to reactions using ligands that had been purified by standard methods. Preliminary studies were also performed with ligands 3a and 3f as catalysts for the addition of alkenylzinc reagents to aldehydes to give chiral allylic alcohols. Ligand 3f was found to catalyze this addition reaction in up to 76% ee.

[2,2]paracyclophane-based N,O-ligands in alkenylzinc additions to aldehydes

(matrix presented) The application of planar and central chiral [2,2]paracyclophane-based N,O-ligands in asymmetric alkenylzinc additions to various aldehydes is described, which gives rise to very high ee's especially for difficult substrates. A fine-tuning of the alkenylzinc species by employing different transmetalation reagents is reported, allowing control of the steric bulk of the alkenylzinc species and thus the selectivity of the catalysis.
