Although iminium catalysis has become an important tool in organic chemistry, its combination with supramolecular host systems has remained largely unexplored. We report the detailed investigations into the first example of iminium catalysis inside a supramolecular host. In the case of 1,4-reductions of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, catalytic amounts of host are able to increase the enantiomeric excess of the products formed. Several control experiments were performed and provided strong evidence that the modulation of enantiomeric excess of the reaction product indeed stems from a reaction on the inside of the capsule. The origin of the increased enantioselectivity in the capsule was investigated. Furthermore, the substrate and nucleophile scope were studied. Kinetic investigations as well as the kinetic isotope effect measured confirmed that the hydride delivery to the substrate is the rate-determining step inside the capsule. The exploration of benzothiazolidines as alternative hydride sources revealed an unexpected substitution effect of the hydride source itself. The results presented confirm that the noncovalent combination of supramolecular hosts with iminium catalysis is opening up new exciting possibilities to increase enantioselectivity in challenging reactions.

The noncovalent combination of a supramolecular host with iminium organocatalysis is described. Due to cation–π interactions the reactive iminium species is held inside the host and reacts in this confined environment. The products formed differ up to 92 % ee from the control experiments without added host. A model rationalizing the observed difference is presented.

A new series of 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) endowed with ester groups bearing long and functionalised alkoxy chains at the C3 and C5 positions of the nitrogen ring have been prepared from the corresponding β-keto esters which were in turn prepared by a lipase catalysed transesterification reaction. The structural study has been carried out by X-ray crystallography and theoretical calculations at the semiempirical (AM1), ab initio (HF/6-31G*) and B3LYP/6-31G* levels and reveals that the long alkyl chains do not have any influence on the required geometry of the 1,4-DHPs for biological activity. However, these chains have a strong impact on the lipophilicity and, therefore, they could be used to gain a better control of the duration of the pharmacological action.
