Quinone Reduction by Organo-Osmium Half-Sandwich Transfer Hydrogenation Catalysts

Organo-osmium(II) 16-electron complexes [OsII(η6-arene)(R-PhDPEN)] (where η6-arene =para-cymene or biphenyl) can catalyze the reduction of prochiral ketones to optically pure alcohols in the presence of a hydride source. Such complexes can achieve the conversion of pyruvate to unnatural http://www.w3.org/1999/xlinkd-lactate in cancer cells. To improve the catalytic performance of these osmium complexes, we have introduced electron-donor and electron-acceptor substituents (R) into thepara(R1) ormeta(R2) positions of the chiral R-phenyl-sulfonyl-diphenylethylenediamine (R-PhDPEN) ligands and explored the reduction of quinones, potential biological substrates, which play a major role in cellular electron transfer chains. We show that the series of [OsII(η6-arene)(R-PhDPEN)] derivatives exhibit high turnover frequencies, enantioselectivities (>92%), and conversions (>93%) for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of acetophenone-derived substrates and reduce duroquinone and menadione to their di-alcohol derivatives. Modeling of the catalysis using density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggests a mechanism involving formic acid deprotonation assisted by the catalyst amine groups, phenyl-duroquinone stacking, hydride transfer to OsII, possible CO2coordination, and tilting of the η6-arene ring, followed by hydride transfer to the quinone. These findings not only reveal subtle differences between Ru(II) and Os(II) catalysts, but also introduce potential biological applications.

Enantioselective Hydroboration of Ketones Catalyzed by Rare-Earth-Metal Complexes Supported with Phenoxy-Functionalized TsDPEN Ligands

Six novel chiral rare-earth-metal complexes bearing the phenoxy-functionalized TsDPEN ligand H3L1 (H3L1 = N-((1R,2R)-2-((3,5-di-Tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)amino)-1,2-diphenylethyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide) were synthesized successfully and well characterized. The solid-state structures of four tetranuclear rare-earth-metal complexes [RE2L13]2 (RE = Nd (1), Sm (2), Eu (3), Gd (4)) and the dual-core yttrium complex Y2L13 (5) were determined by X-ray diffraction, respectively. The structure of lanthanum complex 6 was speculated by the 1H DOSY spectroscopy in THF-d8 together with DFT calculations. Complexes 1-5 were employed to catalyze the enantioselective hydroboration of ketones and α,β-unsaturated ketones using pinacolborane (HBpin) as a reductant, and complex 1 gave better outcomes in comparison to the others. The corresponding secondary alcohols were obtained in excellent yields and moderate ee values. The same results were also achieved using the combined catalyst system of the neodymium amide Nd[N(SiMe3)2]3 with the phenoxy-functionalized TsDPEN ligand H3L1 in a 1:1.5 molar ratio.
