A new chiral cyclic o-hydroxynaphthylphosphonodiamide (+)-2 was synthesized starting from (+)-cis-1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentane-1,3-diamine. The absolute configuration of phosphorus atom was determined as S by X-ray diffraction analysis. Excellent enantiose

A triangular metallosalen-based metallacycle was constructed in quantitative yield by the self-assembly of a 180° bis(pyridyl)salen-Al complex and a 60° diplatinum(ii) acceptor in a 1?:?1 stoichiometric ratio. This metallacycle was then successfully used to cyanosilylate a wide range of benzaldehydes with trimethylsilyl cyanide.

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.

Strecker reaction of various substituted aromatic aldehydes, heteroaromatic aldehydes, aliphatic aldehydes and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) was realized in the presence of 5 mol % of MgI2 etherate in a mild, efficient and highly chemoselective manner under solvent-free conditions.

Biocatalysts originating from Badamu (Prunus communis) have been applied to catalyze the asymmetric synthesis of (R)-4-methylsulfanylmandelonitrile, a key building block of thiamphenicol and florfenicol. Here, four hydroxynitrile lyase (HNL) isozymes from Badamu were cloned and heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris. The biochemical properties and catalytic performances of these isozymes were comprehensively explored to evaluate their efficiency and selectivity in asymmetric synthesis. Among then, PcHNL5 was identified with outstanding activity and enantioselectivity in asymmetric hydrocyanation. Under the optimized mild biphasic reaction conditions, seventeen prochiral aromatic aldehydes were converted to valuable chiral cyanohydrins with good yields (up to 94%) and excellent optical purities (up to >99.9% ee), which provide a facile access to numerous chiral amino alcohols, hypoglycemic agents, angiotension converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and β-blockers. This work therefore underlines the importance of discovering the most potent biocatalyst among a group of isozymes for converting unnatural substrates into value-added products. (Figure presented.).

The search for versatile heterogeneous catalysts with multiple active sites for broad asymmetric transformations has long been of great interest, but it remains a formidable synthetic challenge. Here we demonstrate that multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV-MOFs) can be used as an excellent platform to engineer heterogeneous catalysts featuring multiple and cooperative active sites. An isostructural series of 2-fold interpenetrated MTV-MOFs that contain up to three different chiral metallosalen catalysts was constructed and used as efficient and recyclable heterogeneous catalysts for a variety of asymmetric sequential alkene epoxidation/epoxide ring-opening reactions. Interpenetration of the frameworks brings metallosalen units adjacent to each other, allowing cooperative activation, which results in improved efficiency and enantioselectivity over the sum of the individual parts. The fact that manipulation of molecular catalysts in MTV-MOFs can control the activities and selectivities would facilitate the design of novel multifunctional materials for enantioselective processes.

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.).

Cyanohydrins are versatile compounds with high applicability in organic synthesis; they are used as starting materials for the synthesis of other chemical targets with high industrial added value. Lipase-mediated kinetic resolution reactions are a promising route for the synthesis of optically active cyanohydrins. These reactions can be carried out through the acylation of cyanohydrins or the deacylation of cyanohydrin esters, with different biocatalysts and under different reaction conditions. Unfortunately, depending on the substrate structure, long reaction times can be required to achieve suitable enantiomeric excesses. In this context, we present a high-throughput protocol for the production of optically active cyanohydrins in continuous-flow mode. The products were obtained with moderate to good enantioselectivity (E values from 8 up to >200) and with productivity values from 2.4 to 8.7 times higher in continuous-flow mode than in batch mode. Moreover, the reaction times were reduced from hours in batch mode to minutes in continuous-flow mode.
Enantioselective cyanosilylation of aldehydes catalyzed by a multistereogenic salen-Mn(III) complex with a rotatable benzylic group as a helping hand

A multistereogenic salen-Mn(iii) complex bearing an aromatic pocket and two benzylic groups as helping hands was found to be efficient in the catalysis of asymmetric cyanosilylation. The salen-Mn catalyst partially mimics the functions of biocatalysts by
Solid phase behavior in the chiral systems of various 2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetic acid (mandelic acid) derivatives

The solid phase behavior of a series of monosubstituted F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, and CH3- and two 2,4-halogen-disubstituted 2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetic acid (mandelic acid) derivatives was investigated. The study includes detailed information about melting temperature, melting enthalpy, X-ray diffraction data, as well as selected binary phase diagrams of the respective chiral systems. Aside from the known metastable conglomerate 2-chloromandelic acid, evidence for two more metastable conglomerates was found.
