Heterogeneous Chiral Diene-Rh Complexes for Asymmetric Arylation of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds, Nitroalkenes, and Imines

A chiral diene ligand with tertiary alkyl amine-derived secondary amide moiety was immobilized on cross-linked polystyrene (PS) by radical polymerization, which was combined with Rh to form heterogeneous chiral Rh complexes (PS-diene Rh?Cl). PS-diene Rh?Cl catalyzed asymmetric arylation reactions of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (ketones, esters, and amides), nitroalkenes, and imines afforded the desired products in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. PS-diene Rh?Cl is stable in air, can be stored for several months, and can be reused more than 10 times without any reduction of either yield or enantioselectivity. We also developed a method of activation of PS-diene Rh?Cl to generate more active species. (Figure presented.).

Heterogeneous Rh and Rh/Ag bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts immobilized on chiral polymers

The development of heterogeneous chiral catalysts has lagged far behind that of homogeneous chiral catalysts in spite of their advantages, such as environmental friendliness for a sustainable society. We describe herein novel heterogeneous chiral Rh and Rh/Ag bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts consisting of polystyrene-based polymers with chiral diene moieties. The catalysts enable high-to-excellent yields and enantioselectivities to be obtained in asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions of arylboronic acids with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds such as ketones, esters, and amides, and in other asymmetric reactions. The catalysts could be readily recovered by simple filtration and reused; they could also be applied to continuous-flow synthesis. We also discuss the nature of possible reaction species based on XPS analysis.

Allenylic Carbonates in Enantioselective Iridium-Catalyzed Alkylations

An enantioconvergent C(sp3)-C(sp3) coupling between racemic allenylic electrophiles and alkylzinc reagents has been developed. An Ir/(phosphoramidite,olefin) catalyst provides access to highly enantioenriched allenylic substitution p

Aqueous Asymmetric 1,4-Addition of Arylboronic Acids to Enones Catalyzed by an Amphiphilic Resin-Supported Chiral Diene Rhodium Complex under Batch and Continuous-Flow Conditions

A rhodium-chiral diene complex immobilized on amphiphilic polystyrene-poly(ethylene glycol) (PS-PEG) resin (PS-PEG-diene?-Rh) has been developed. The immobilized rhodium-chiral diene complex (PS-PEG-diene?-Rh) efficiently catalyzed the asymmetric 1,4-addition of various arylboronic acids to cyclic or linear enones in water under batch conditions to give the corresponding β-arylated carbonyl compounds in excellent yields and with excellent enantioselectivity. The catalyst was readily recovered by simple filtration and reused 10 times without loss of its catalytic activity and enantioselectivity. Moreover, a continuous-flow asymmetric 1,4-addition in a flow reactor containing PS-PEG-diene?-Rh proceeded efficiently at 50 °C with retention of high enantioselectivity. Long-term continuous-flow asymmetric 1,4-addition during 12 h readily gave the desired product on a 10 g scale with high enantioselectivity.

A diastereomeric pair of sulfoxide-containing chiral MOP-type ligands: Preparation and application to rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions

(R,SS)-Sulfoxide-MOP (L2) and (R,RS)-sulfoxide-MOP (L3) were developed as a diastereomeric pair of sulfoxide-containing chiral MOP-type ligands. These two ligands also represent the first monosulfoxide analogues of BINAP. The chiral ligand L2 was successfully applied to the highly enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed 1,4-addition between α,β-unsaturated ketones or esters and arylboronic acids, and exhibited a broad substrate scope when the reaction was performed using 1.5 mol% Rh in cyclohexane/H2O (10:1) at 40 °C under mild basic conditions.

Role of Regioisomeric Bicyclo[3.3.0]octa-2,5-diene Ligands in Rh Catalysis: Synthesis, Structural Analysis, Theoretical Study, and Application in Asymmetric 1,2- and 1,4-Additions

In order to study the impact of regioisomeric diene ligands on the formation and catalytic activity of Rh complexes, a series of C2- and CS-symmetric 2,5-disubstituted bicyclo[3.3.0]octa-2,5-dienes C2-L and CS-L, respectively, were synthesized from Weiss diketone by simultaneous deprotonation/electrophilic trapping of both oxo functions, and the catalytic behavior was studied in the presence of [RhCl(C2H4)2]2. Complexes [RhCl(C2-L)]2 bearing C2-symmetric ligands catalyzed effectively the asymmetric arylation of N-tosylaldimines to (S)-diarylamines with yields and ee values up to 99%. In Hayashi-Miyaura reactions, however, the complexes showed poor catalytic activity. When complexes [RhCl(CS-L)]2 with CS-symmetric ligand or mixtures of [RhCl(C2-L)]2 and [RhCl(CS-L)]2 were employed in 1,2-additions, racemic addition products were observed, suggesting a C=C isomerization of the diene ligands. X-ray crystal structure analysis of both Rh complexes formed from the [RhCl(C2H4)2]2 precursor and ligands C2-L and CS-L revealed that only the C2-symmetric ligand C2-L coordinated to the Rh, whereas CS-L underwent a Rh-catalyzed C=C isomerization to rac-C2-L, which then gave the racemic [RhCl(rac-C2-L)]2 complex. DFT calculations of the relative stabilities of the Rh complexes and the proposed intermediates provided a mechanistic rationale via Rh-mediated hydride transfer.

Cellulose-supported chiral rhodium nanoparticles as sustainable heterogeneous catalysts for asymmetric carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions

Cellulose-supported chiral Rh nanoparticle (NP) catalysts have been developed. The Rh NPs, which were well dispersed on cellulose, catalyzed the asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to enones and enoates, one of the representative asymmetric carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions, in the presence of chiral diene ligands, providing the corresponding adducts in high yields with outstanding enantioselectivities without metal leaching. The solid-state NMR analysis of the chiral NP system directly suggested interactions between the Rh NPs and the chiral ligand on cellulose. This is the first example of using polysaccharide-supported chiral metal nanoparticles for asymmetric carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions.
