Cinchona-Alkaloid-Derived NNP Ligand for Iridium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Ketones

Most ligands applied for asymmetric hydrogenation are synthesized via multistep reactions with expensive chemical reagents. Herein, a series of novel and easily accessed cinchona-alkaloid-based NNP ligands have been developed in two steps. By combining [Ir(COD)Cl]2, 39 ketones including aromatic, heteroaryl, and alkyl ketones have been hydrogenated, all affording valuable chiral alcohols with 96.0-99.9% ee. A plausible reaction mechanism was discussed by NMR, HRMS, and DFT, and an activating model involving trihydride was verified.

Development of a Chiral N -Alkoxyamide Strategy and Application to the Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Fasicularin

The asymmetric total synthesis of fasicularin by a chiral Nalkoxyamide strategy is reported. Incorporation of the chiral alkoxy group onto an amide nitrogen changes the original reactivity of the amide, enabling two key transformations: aza-spirocyclizati

C3 The symmetry contains a chiral ligand H3L of an amide bond. Preparation method and application

The invention discloses C. 3 Chiral ligand H with symmetric amide bond3 L Relates to the technical field of material chemistry and chiral chemistry. The invention further provides the chiral ligand H. 3 L Preparation method and application thereof. The present invention has the advantage that the chiral ligand H of the present invention is a chiral ligand. 3 The L has a higher C. 3 The symmetric and flexible amide group enables coordination of the lanthanide metal ions with high coordination number and high oxygen affinity to be assembled into a novel structure-structure lanthanide metal chiral porous coordination cage. Moreover, the abundant chiral amide groups and amino acid residues on the ligand framework can be directly introduced into the synthesized lanthanide metal chiral porous coordination cage, thereby being beneficial to generating multiple chiral recognition sites and unique chiral microenvironments which mimic the biological enzyme binding pocket and further realize the purpose of high enantioselectivity separation of a series of chiral small molecule compounds.
