Oxygen Atom Transfer Mechanism for Vanadium-Oxo Porphyrin Complexes Mediated Aerobic Olefin Epoxidation

The development of catalytic aerobic epoxidation by numerous metal complexes in the presence of aldehyde as a sacrificial reductant (Mukaiyama epoxidation) has been reported, however, comprehensive examination of oxygen atom transfer mechanism involving free radical and highly reactive intermediates has yet to be presented. Herein, meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl) porphyrinatooxidovanadium(IV) (VOTPFPP) was prepared and proved to be efficient toward aerobic olefin epoxidation in the presence of isobutyraldehyde. In situ electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (in situ EPR) showed the generation, transfer pathways and ascription of free radicals in the epoxidation. According to the spectral and computational studies, the side-on vanadium-peroxo complexes are considered as the active intermediate species in the reaction process. In the cyclohexene epoxidation catalyzed by VOTPFPP, the kinetic isotope effect value of 1.0 was obtained, indicating that epoxidation occurred via oxygen atom transfer mechanism. The mechanism was further elucidated using isotopically labeled dioxygen experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Iron-Catalyzed ?±,?-Dehydrogenation of Carbonyl Compounds

An iron-catalyzed α,β-dehydrogenation of carbonyl compounds was developed. A broad spectrum of carbonyls or analogues, such as aldehyde, ketone, lactone, lactam, amine, and alcohol, could be converted to their α,β-unsaturated counterparts in a simple one-step reaction with high yields.

Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Racemic 6-Aryl 1,4-Dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-7-ones to Functionalized Chiral ?a'Aryl Cyclohexanols via a Dynamic Kinetic Resolution

A ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation method for the synthesis of functionalized β-aryl cyclohexanols is described. With chiral spiro ruthenium catalyst (Ra,S,S)-5c, a series of racemic α-aryl cyclohexanones bearing a β-monoethylene ketal group were hydrogenated to the corresponding functionalized β-aryl cyclohexanols in high yields with enantioselectivity of up to 99% ee via a dynamic kinetic resolution. This protocol can be conducted on a decagram scale and provide potential approaches for the synthesis of optically active and densely functionalized aryl cyclohexanols.

Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of I-Substituted Cyclic β-Ketoesters via Asymmetric Hydrogenation: Constructing Chiral Cyclic β-Hydroxyesters with Three Contiguous Stereocenters

An efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of racemic I-substituted cyclic β-ketoesters via dynamic kinetic resolution to provide chiral cyclic β-hydroxy esters with three contiguous stereocenters is reported. Using a chiral spiro iridium catalyst (R)-5 (Ir-SpiroSAP), a series of racemic I-Aryl/alkyl substituted cyclic β-ketoesters were hydrogenated to the corresponding chiral cyclic β-hydroxy esters in high yields (84-97%) with good to excellent enantioselectivities (69->99% ee) and cis,cis-selectivities (up to >99:1).

Polydopamine-Encapsulated Dendritic Organosilica Nanoparticles as Amphiphilic Platforms for Highly Efficient Heterogeneous Catalysis in Water

Aqueous heterogeneous catalysis is a green, sustainable catalytic process that attracts increasing attention, but it often suffers from poor mass transfer, substrate adsorption and catalyst dispersion. Herein, we synthesized a type of amphiphilic core-shell catalysts with a hydrophilic polydopamine (PDA) shell and a hydrophobic dendritic organosilica nanoparticle (DON) core for heterogeneous catalysis in water. The hydrophilic shell allowed the catalyst dispersing well in water, and the hydrophobic core facilitated the absorption of organic reactants. The hierarchical core-shell structure facilitated rational arrangement of the location of catalytic species to match the reaction sequence. The obtained metal, enzyme and metal-enzyme amphiphilic catalysts demonstrated improved stability, selectivity and activity in aqueous reactions, including Pd-catalyzed cross-couplings (Suzuki, Liebeskind-Srogl, Heck and Sonogashira), enzymatic enantioselective reduction, chemoenzymatic cascade synthesis of chiral compounds and chemoenzymatic cascade degradation of organophosphates. The amphiphilic catalysts could be easily in situ recovered, and their high catalytic performance was sustained for five cycles.

An aqueous chemoenzymatic cascade reaction combining Pd-catalyzed C-C formation and enzymatic C=C asymmetric hydrogenation (AH) was developed for enantioselective synthesis of tertiary α-aryl cycloketones in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities. The stereopreference of the enzyme in AH of α-aryl cyclohexenones was studied. An enantiocomplementary enzyme was obtained by site-directed mutation.

Electrochemically driven desaturation of carbonyl compounds

Electrochemical techniques have long been heralded for their innate sustainability as efficient methods to achieve redox reactions. Carbonyl desaturation, as a fundamental organic oxidation, is an oft-employed transformation to unlock adjacent reactivity through the formal removal of two hydrogen atoms. To date, the most reliable methods to achieve this seemingly trivial reaction rely on transition metals (Pd or Cu) or stoichiometric reagents based on I, Br, Se or S. Here we report an operationally simple pathway to access such structures from enol silanes and phosphates using electrons as the primary reagent. This electrochemically driven desaturation exhibits a broad scope across an array of carbonyl derivatives, is easily scalable (1–100 g) and can be predictably implemented into synthetic pathways using experimentally or computationally derived NMR shifts. Systematic comparisons to state-of-the-art techniques reveal that this method can uniquely desaturate a wide array of carbonyl groups. Mechanistic interrogation suggests a radical-based reaction pathway. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Selective C-H Allylic Oxygenation of Cycloalkenes and Terpenoids Photosensitized by [Cu(Xantphos)(neoc)]BF4

We present herein for the first time the use of the [Cu(Xantphos)(neoc)]BF4 as a photocatalyst for the selective C-H allylic oxygenation of cycloalkenes into the corresponding allylic hydroperoxides or alcohols in the presence of molecular oxygen. The proposed methodology affords the products at good yields and has also been applied successfully to several bioactive terpenoids, such as geraniol, linalool, β-citronellol, and phytol. A mechanistic study involving also kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) supports the proposed singlet oxygen-mediated reaction. On the basis of the high chemoselectivity and yields and the fast and clean reaction processes observed, the present catalytic system, [Cu(Xantphos)(neoc)]BF4, has also been applied to the synthesis, at a laboratory scale, of the cis-Rose oxide, a well-known perfumery ingredient used in rose and geranium perfumes.
