Isosterically designed chiral catalysts: Rationale, optimization and their application in enantioselective nucleophilic addition to aldehydes

Proline-based N,N′-dioxide ligands were designed on the basis of isosteric approach, and were successfully applied in enantioselective nucleophilic addition to aldehydes. In the presence of 10 mol% of chiral ligand 1b, enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes provided the corresponding secondary alcohols in up to 90% isolated yield and up to 99% ee. Similarly, using 3e as chiral ligand, enantioselective arylation and alkynylation of aldehydes also proceeded readily, leading to the desired chiral alcohols in up to 92% isolated yield at 99% ee and 80% isolated yields and up to 84% ee, respectively. The current work would shed light on expanding the structure diversity in the design of chiral ligands and chiral catalysts.

Combining Electronic and Steric Effects to Generate Hindered Propargylic Alcohols in High Enantiomeric Excess

Tethered ruthenium-TsDPEN complexes have been applied to the catalysis of the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of a range of aryl/acetylenic ketones. The introduction of an ortho- substituent to the aryl ring of the substrate results in a reversal of the

Enantioselective Alkynylation of Aromatic Aldehydes Catalyzed by a Sterically Highly Demanding Chiral-at-Rhodium Lewis Acid

The enantioselective catalytic alkynylation of aromatic aldehydes is reported using a sterically highly hindered bis-cyclometalated rhodium-based Lewis acid catalyst featuring the octahedral metal as the only stereogenic center. Yields of 58-98% with 79-9

A Lewis acid activated reaction of Zn with EtI to promote highly enantioselective alkyne additions to aldehydes

An easily available BINOL-Ti(OiPr)4 catalyst system is found to activate the reaction of Zn powder with EtI for the asymmetric alkyne addition to aldehydes at room temperature. It allows the synthesis of a number of synthetically useful chiral propargylic alcohols with both high yields and high enantioselectivity (up to >96% ee). This journal is

Enantioselective synthesis of chiral propargylic alcohols catalyzed by bifunctional zinc-based complexes

This work demonstrates an efficient way to prepare chiral propargylic alcohols by asymmetric addition of terminal Zn-acetylide to aldehydes catalyzed by bifunctional zinc-based complexes. The corresponding products with moderate to good yields and enantio

Camphor-based Schiff base ligand SBAIB: An enantioselective catalyst for addition of phenylacetylene to aldehydes

A series of Schiff base ligands were synthesized from (1R)-camphor. Under the optimal conditions, (+)-SBAIB-a, 10 was found to be an excellent catalyst for the enantioselective addition of phenylacetylene to various aldehydes without utilizing either achiral additives or Ti(OiPr)4. This approach yielded (R)-propargylic alcohols in extremely high yields (up to 99%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 92%). The corresponding (S)-propargylic alcohols were synthesized in good to high enantioselectivities (up to 91%) and excellent yields (up to 99%) using (-)-SBAIB-a, 41.

Development of Zn-prophenol-catalyzed asymmetric alkyne addition: Synthesis of chiral propargylic alcohols

The development of a general and practical zinc-catalyzed enantioselective alkyne addition methodology is reported. The commercially available ProPhenol ligand (1) has facilitated the addition of a wide range of zinc alkynylides to aryl, aliphatic, and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes in high yield and enantioselectivity. New insights into the mechanism of this reaction have resulted in a significant reduction in reagent stoichiometry, enabling the use of precious alkynes and avoiding the use of excess dimethylzinc. The enantioenriched propargylic alcohols from this reaction serve as versatile synthetic intermediates and have enabled efficient syntheses of several complex natural products. A precious few: A general and practical zinc-catalyzed enantioselective alkyne addition methodology is reported (see scheme).
