Evidence for a one-electron mechanistic regime in dirhodium-catalyzed intermolecular C-H amination
Kornecki, Katherine P.,Berry, John F.
, p. 5827 - 5832 (2011)
Swift and energy efficient conversion of chemical feedstocks to pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals requires the development of new methods to add nitrogen functionality to unfunctionalized organic substrates. Dirhodium-catalyzed insertion of nitrene species into C-H bonds is a promising new method, the main drawback of which is the currently limited understanding of the catalytic mechanism. Herein, cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential electrolysis measurements have enabled us to solve many of the mechanistic mysteries of intermolecular C-H amination catalyzed by [Rh2(esp) 2] (esp=α,α,α′,α′-tetramethyl-1, 3-benzenedipropanoate). The primary result is that, in addition to a simple nitrene-transfer mechanism that dominates the early stages of the reaction, another mechanism is available that relies on sequential proton-coupled electron transfer steps. Whereas the nitrene-transfer mechanism requires the use of expensive, atom-inefficient oxidants, we show that simple one-electron oxidants such as Ce4+ may be used to achieve catalytic C-H amination via the one-electron mechanistic regime.

Herein we report the novel use of essentially anhydrous protic ionic liquids (PILs) as reaction media for performing the smooth kinetic resolution of 1-phenylethanol by Candida antarctica lipase B (CaLB) catalysed acylation with vinyl acetate at 40°C. Good rates and high enantioselectivities (92->99%) were observed with suspensions of both the free enzyme and cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) of CaLB. The Royal Society of Chemistry.
Paper-immobilized enzyme as a green microstructured catalyst

The facile and direct introduction of methacryloxy groups into cellulose paper was carried out using a silane coupling technique, leading to the improvement of hydrophobicity and both dry and wet physical strengths of the paper. Immobilization of lipase enzymes onto the methacrylate-modified paper was then accomplished, possibly due to hydrophobic interaction. The as-prepared immobilized lipase on methacrylate-modified paper possessed paper-specific practical utility. During a batch process for the nonaqueous transesterification between 1-phenylethanol and vinyl acetate to produce 1-phenylethylacetate, the paper-immobilized lipase showed high catalytic activity, selectivity and reusability, suggesting that the methacryloxy groups introduced into the cellulose paper played a key role in the hyperactivation of lipases. In addition, a higher productivity of 1-phenylethylacetate was achieved in a continuous flow reaction system than in the batch system, indicating that the interconnected porous microstructure of the paper provided favorable flow paths for the reactant solution. Thus, the paper-immobilized enzyme is expected to offer a green catalytic material for the effective production of useful chemicals.
'Watching' lipase-catalyzed acylations using 1H NMR: Competing hydrolysis of vinyl acetate in dry organic solvents
Weber, Hedda K.,Weber, Hansjoerg,Kazlauskas, Romas J.
, p. 2635 - 2638 (1999)
Lipase-catalyzed acetylations of 1-phenylethanol with vinyl acetate were monitored in situ by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Surprisingly, even under dry conditions (no added water) the major reaction was hydrolysis of the vinyl acetate, not acetylation of the substrate. Because this competing hydrolysis consumes water and releases acetic acid, the reaction conditions in lipase-catalyzed acylations are not constant, but vary with the reaction time. Addition of a chiral shift reagent reveals the enantiomeric purity of the starting alcohol and allows calculation of the enantiomeric ratio, E, for the reaction.

Ferric chloride has been successfully nanoencapsulated for the first time on a non-cross-linked polystyrene matrix as the shell material via the coacervation technique. The resulting polystyrene nanoencapsulated ferric chloride was used as a novel and rec

The invention provides a method for preparing a phosphine-phosphoramidite ester ligand from a chiral beta-aminophosphine intermediate and an application of the phosphine-phosphoramidite ester ligand in an asymmetric reaction. Chiral N-(2-(phosphoryl)-1-phenethyl) amide is prepared from the chiral beta-aminophosphine intermediate through an asymmetric hydrogenation reaction of (Z)-(alpha-aryl-beta-phosphoryl) alkenyl amide, and then hydrolysis reduction. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving newly-prepared chlorinated phosphite in toluene, adding a solution formed by dissolving the chiral phosphine-amine compound and triethylamine in toluene into an ice-water bath according to a molar ratio of the chiral phosphine-amine compound to the chlorinated phosphite to the triethylamine of 1: (1-2): (3-5), heating the reaction solution to 18-25 DEG C, stirring and reacting for 10-30 hours, filtering, and carrying out column chromatography to remove the solvent, and recrystallizing to obtain the required phosphine-phosphoramidite ligand. According to the present invention, the asymmetric hydrogenation reaction of the catalyst formed by the ligand and the metal precursor on the double bonds such as C = C, C = N, C = O and the like can achieve the enantioselectivity of 99%; the catalyst is high in activity, and TON reaches up to 10000.

Trimethylsilyl esters, AcOTMS, BzOTMS, TCAOTMS, etc., are inexpensive and chemically stable reagents that pose a negligible environmental hazard. Such compounds prove to serve as efficient dualpurpose reagents to respectively achieve acylation and trimethylsilylation of alcohols under acidic or basic conditions. Herein, a detailed study on protection of various substrates and new methodological investigations is described.

Insight into the mechanism of a safe, simple, and inexpensive phosphoric acid (H3PO4)-catalyzed acylation of alcohols with acid anhydrides is described. The corresponding in situ-generated diacylated mixed anhydrides, unlike traditionally proposed monoacylated mixed anhydrides, are proposed as the active species. In particular, the diacylated mixed anhydrides act as efficient catalytic acyl transfer reagents rather than as Br?nsted acid catalysts simply activating acid anhydrides. Remarkably, highly efficient phosphoric acid (1-3 mol %)-catalyzed acylation of alcohols with acid anhydrides was achieved and a 23 g scale synthesis of an ester was demonstrated. Also, phosphoric acid catalyst was effective for synthetically useful esterification from carboxylic acids, alcohols, and acid anhydride. Moreover, with regard to recent developments in chiral 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL)-derived phosphoric acid diester catalysts toward asymmetric kinetic resolution of alcohols by acylation, some phosphate diesters were examined. As a result, a 31P NMR study and a kinetics study strongly supported not only the acid-base cooperative mechanism as previously proposed by other researchers but also the mixed anhydride mechanism as presently proposed by us.

Introduction of acetoxy groups to organic molecules is important for the preparation of many active ingredients and synthetic intermediates. A commonly used and attractive strategy is the oxidative decarboxylation of aliphatic carboxylic acids, which entails the generation of a new C(sp3)-O bond. This reaction has been traditionally carried out using excess amounts of harmful lead(iv) acetate. A sustainable alternative to stoichiometric oxidants is the Hofer-Moest reaction, which relies on the 2-electron anodic oxidation of the carboxylic acid. However, examples showing electrochemical acetoxylation of amino acids are scarce. Herein we present a general and scalable procedure for the anodic decarboxylative acetoxylation of amino acids in batch and continuous flow mode. The procedure has been applied to the derivatization of several natural and synthetic amino acids, including key intermediates for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Good to excellent yields were obtained in all cases. Transfer of the process from batch to a continuous flow cell signficantly increased the reaction throughput and space-time yield, with excellent product yields obtained even in a single-pass. The sustainability of the electrochemical protocol has been examined by evaluating its green metrics. Comparison with the conventional method demonstrates that an electrochemical approach has a significant positive effect on the greenness of the process.
