An Efficient Pd@Pro-GO heterogeneous catalyst was developed that can promote the α, β-dehydrogenation of saturated aldehyde and ketones in the yield of 73% ? 92% at mild conditions without extra oxidants and additives. Pd@Pro-GO heterogeneous catalyst was synthesized via two steps: firstly, the Pro-GO was obtained by the esterification reaction between graphene oxide (GO) and N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-L-proline (Boc-Pro-OH), followed by removing the protection group tert-Butoxycarbonyl (Boc), which endowed the proline-functionalized GO with both the lewis acid site (COOH) and the bronsted base site (NH), besides, the pyrrolidine of proline also can form imine with aldehydes to activate these substrates; Second, palladium was dispersed on the proline-functionalized GO (Pro-GO) to obtained heterogeneous catalyst Pd@Pro-GO. Mechanistic studies have shown that the Pd@Pro-GO-catalyzed α,β-dehydrogenation of saturated aldehyde and ketones was realized by an improved heterogeneously catalyzed Saegusa oxidation reaction. Based on the obove characteristics, the Pd@Pro-GO will be widely used in the transition metal catalytic field.

Enantiodivergent one-pot synthesis of biaryls was developed using a catalytic amount of a single chiral source. A domino organocatalyst-mediated enantioselective Michael reaction and aldol condensation provided centrally chiral dihydronaphthalenes with excellent enantioselectivity, from which an enantiodivergent chirality conversion from central-to-axial chirality was achieved. Both enantiomers of biaryls were obtained with excellent enantioselectivity. All transformations can be conducted in a single reaction vessel. A plausible reaction mechanism for the enantiodivergence is proposed.

Cyclopropane rings are an important structural motif frequently found in many natural products and pharmaceuticals. Commonly, biocatalytic methodologies for the asymmetric synthesis of cyclopropanes rely on repurposed or artificial heme enzymes. Here, we engineered an unusual cofactor-independent cyclopropanation enzyme based on a promiscuous tautomerase for the enantioselective synthesis of various cyclopropanes via the nucleophilic addition of diethyl 2-chloromalonate to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The engineered enzyme promotes formation of the two new carbon-carbon bonds with excellent stereocontrol over both stereocenters, affording the desired cyclopropanes with high diastereo- and enantiopurity (d.r. up to 25:1; e.r. up to 99:1). Our results highlight the usefulness of promiscuous enzymes for expanding the biocatalytic repertoire for non-natural reactions.

Paragraph 0149-0154, (2021/05/29)
The invention discloses a method for preparing olefine aldehyde by catalyzing terminal alkyne or terminal conjugated eneyne and a diphosphine ligand used in the method. According to the invention, indole-substituted phosphoramidite diphosphine ligand which is stable in air and insensitive to light is synthesized by utilizing a continuous one-pot method, and the indole-substituted phosphoramidite diphosphine ligand and a rhodium catalyst are used for jointly catalyzing to successfully achieve a hydroformylation reaction of aromatic terminal alkyne and terminal conjugated eneyne under the condition of synthesis gas for the first time, so that an olefine aldehyde structure compound can be rapidly and massively prepared, and particularly, a polyolefine aldehyde structure compound which is more difficult to synthesize in the prior art can be easily prepared and synthesized, and a novel method is provided for synthesis and modification of drug molecules, intermediates and chemical products.

Tandem oxidative-dehydrogenation of primary alcohols to give a,b-unsaturated aldehydes in one pot are rare transformations in organic synthesis, with only two methods currently available. Reported herein is a novel method using the bench-stable salt methyltriphenylphosphonium perruthenate (MTP3), and a new co-oxidant NEMO&middoPF6 (NEMO = N-ethyl-N-hydroxymorpholinium) which provides unsaturated aldehydes in low to moderate yields. The Ley-Griffith oxidation of (hetero)arylated primary alcohols with N-oxide co-oxidants NMO (NMO = N-methylmorpholine N-oxide)/NEMO, is expanded by addition of the N-oxide salt NEMO&middoPF6 to convert the intermediate saturated aldehyde into its unsaturated counterpart. The discovery, method development, reaction scope, and associated challenges of this method are highlighted. The conceptual value of late-stage dehydrogenation in natural product synthesis is demonstrated via the synthesis of a polyene scaffold related to auxarconjugatin B.

The hydroformylation of terminal arylalkynes and enynes offers a straightforward synthetic route to the valuable (poly)enals. However, the hydroformylation of terminal alkynes has remained a long-standing challenge. Herein, an efficient and selective Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of terminal arylalkynes and conjugated enynes has been achieved by using a new stable biphosphoramidite ligand with strong π-acceptor capacity, which affords various important E-(poly)enals in good yields with excellent chemo- and regioselectivity at low temperatures and low syngas pressures.

A selective, practical, and scalable aerobic oxidation of alcohols is described that uses catalytic amounts of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) and HNO3, with molecular oxygen serving as the terminal oxidant. The method was successfully applied to the oxidation of a wide range of benzylic, propargylic, and allylic alcohols, including two natural products, namely, carveol and podophyllotoxin. The conditions are also applicable to the selective oxidative deprotection of p-methoxybenzyl ethers.

Peroxygenases are heme-dependent enzymes that use peroxide-borne oxygen to catalyze a wide range of oxyfunctionalization reactions. Herein, we report the engineering of an unusual cofactor-independent peroxygenase based on a promiscuous tautomerase that accepts different hydroperoxides (t-BuOOH and H2O2) to accomplish enantiocomplementary epoxidations of various α,β-unsaturated aldehydes (citral and substituted cinnamaldehydes), providing access to both enantiomers of the corresponding α,β-epoxy-aldehydes. High conversions (up to 98 %), high enantioselectivity (up to 98 % ee), and good product yields (50–80 %) were achieved. The reactions likely proceed via a reactive enzyme-bound iminium ion intermediate, allowing tweaking of the enzyme's activity and selectivity by protein engineering. Our results underscore the potential of catalytic promiscuity for the engineering of new cofactor-independent oxidative enzymes.

A simple yet highly effective approach toward enantioselective synthesis of trans-3,4-disubstituted glutarimides from readily available starting materials is developed using oxidative N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis. The catalytic reaction involves a formal [3 + 3] annulation between enals and substituted malonamides enabling the production of glutarimide derivatives in a single chemical operation via concomitant formation of C-C and C-N bonds. The reaction offers easy access to a broad range of functionalized glutarimides with excellent enantioselectivity and good yield. Synthetic application of the method is demonstrated via formal synthesis of (?)-paroxetine and other bioactive molecules.

α,β-unsaturated aldehydes have been traditionally used in LUMO lowering asymmetric aminocatalysis (iminium catalysis), while the use of saturated aldehydes as substrates in this type of catalysis has been elusive, until recently. Herein, we demonstrate that organic, single-electron oxidants in the presence of diarylprolinol silylether type catalysts serve as effective tools for the transformation of electron rich enamines to iminium ions which partake in a subsequent Diels-Alder reaction. This enantioselective one-pot transformation represents the first example of saturated aldehydes being used in domino Diels-Alder reaction processes and demonstrates the power of this protocol for construction of stereo-defined chiral compounds and building blocks. (Figure presented.).
