Chiral cyanohydrins are useful intermediates in the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. In nature, hydroxynitrile lyases (HNLs) are a kind of elegant tool for enantioselective hydrocyanation of carbonyl compounds. However, currently available methods for demonstrating hydrocyanation are still stalled at precise, but low-throughput, GC or HPLC analyses. Herein, we report a chromogenic high-throughput screening (HTS) method that is feasible for the cyanohydrin synthesis reaction. This method was highly anti-interference and sensitive, and could be used to directly profile the substrate scope of HNLs either in cell-free extract or fermentation clear broth. This HTS method was also validated by generating new variants of PcHNL5 that presented higher catalytic efficiency and stronger acidic tolerance in variant libraries.

Thermodynamic and kinetic control of a chemical process is the key to access desired products and states. Changes are made when a desired product is not accessible; one may manipulate the reaction with additional reagents, catalysts and/or protecting groups. Here we report the use of carbon dioxide to accelerate cyanohydrin synthesis under neutral conditions with an insoluble cyanide source (KCN) without generating toxic HCN. Under inert atmosphere, the reaction is essentially not operative due to the unfavored equilibrium. The utility of CO2-mediated selective cyanohydrin synthesis was further showcased by broadening Kiliani–Fischer synthesis under neutral conditions. This protocol offers an easy access to a variety of polyols, cyanohydrins, linear alkylnitriles, by simply starting from alkyl- and arylaldehydes, KCN and an atmospheric pressure of CO2.

α-Chiral alkyl primary amines are virtually universal synthetic precursors for all other α-chiral N-containing compounds ubiquitous in biological, pharmaceutical, and material sciences. The enantioselective amination of common alkyl halides with ammonia is appealing for potential rapid access to α-chiral primary amines, but has hitherto remained rare due to the multifaceted difficulties in using ammonia and the underdeveloped C(sp3)-N coupling. Here we demonstrate sulfoximines as excellent ammonia surrogates for enantioconvergent radical C-N coupling with diverse racemic secondary alkyl halides (>60 examples) by copper catalysis under mild thermal conditions. The reaction efficiently provides highly enantioenrichedN-alkyl sulfoximines (up to 99% yield and >99% ee) featuring secondary benzyl, propargyl, α-carbonyl alkyl, and α-cyano alkyl stereocenters. In addition, we have converted the masked α-chiral primary amines thus obtained to various synthetic building blocks, ligands, and drugs possessing α-chiral N-functionalities, such as carbamate, carboxylamide, secondary and tertiary amine, and oxazoline, with commonly seen α-substitution patterns. These results shine light on the potential of enantioconvergent radical cross-coupling as a general chiral carbon-heteroatom formation strategy.

A nickel/zinc-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of alkyl electrophiles activated by an α-cyano group and chlorosilanes is reported. Elemental zinc is the stoichiometric reductant in this reductive coupling process. By this, a C(sp3)?Si bond can be formed starting from two electrophilic reactants whereas previous methods rely on the combination of carbon nucleophiles and silicon electrophiles or vice versa.

Visible-Light-Driven N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed γ- and ?-Alkylation with Alkyl Radicals
Dai, Lei,Xia, Zi-Hao,Gao, Yuan-Yuan,Gao, Zhong-Hua,Ye, Song
, p. 18124 - 18130 (2019/11/13)
The merging of photoredox catalysis and N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis for γ- and ?-alkylation of enals with alkyl radicals was developed. The alkylation reaction of γ-oxidized enals with alkyl halides worked well for the synthesis γ-multisubstituted-α,β-unsaturated esters, including those with challenging vicinal all-carbon quaternary centers. The synthesis of ?-multisubstituted-α,β-γ,δ-diunsaturated esters by an unprecedented NHC-catalyzed ?-functionalization was also established.

Ruthenium-catalyzed dehydrogenation of cyanohydrins under acceptorless and base-free conditions was demonstrated for the first time in the synthesis of acyl cyanide. As opposed to the thermodynamically preferred elimination of hydrogen cyanide, the dehydrogenation of cyanohydrins could be kinetically controlled with ruthenium (II) bidentate phosphine complexes. The effects of the arene, phosphine ligands and counter anions were investigated in regard to catalytic activity and selectivity. Selective dehydrogenation can occur via β-hydride elimination with the experimentally observed [(alkoxide)Ru] complex. (Figure presented.).

A copper-catalyzed nucleophilic displacement of α-triflyloxy nitriles and esters with silicon nucleophiles allows for the stereospecific generation of highly enantioenriched α-silylated carboxyl compounds. The enantioselective synthesis of α-silylated nitriles is unprecedented. The catalytic system exhibits good functional group tolerance. The stereochemical course of the substitution is shown to proceed with inversion of the configuration. The new reaction is an addition to the still limited number of methods for catalytic C(sp3)-Si cross-coupling.

Cyanohydrins are versatile intermediates toward valuable organic compounds like α-hydroxy carboxylic acids, α-amino acids, and β-amino alcohols. Numerous protocols are available for synthesis of (O-protected) cyanohydrins, but all procedures invariably rely on the use of toxic cyanide sources. A novel cyanide-free synthesis of O-trityl protected cyanohydrins via a catalytic Passerini-type reaction involving aldehydes and trityl isocyanide is reported. The feasibility of a catalytic asymmetric reaction is demonstrated using chiral phosphoric acid catalysis.
