Catalytically active lead(II)-imidazolium coordination assemblies with diversified lead(II) coordination geometries

Five Pb(ii)-imidazolium carboxylate coordination assemblies with novel structural motifs were derived from the reaction between the corresponding flexible, semi flexible or rigid imidazolium carboxylic acid ligands and lead nitrate. The imidazolium linker present in these molecules likely plays a triple role such as the counter ion to balance the metal charge, the ligand being an integral part of the final product and the catalyst facilitating carbon-carbon bond formation reaction. These lead-imidazolium coordination assemblies exhibit, variable chemical and thermal stabilities, as well as catalytic activity. These newly prepared catalysts are highly active towards benzoin condensation reactions with good functional group tolerance.

Chiral linker. Part 3: Synthesis and evaluation of aryl substituted m-hydrobenzoins as solid supported open chain chiral auxiliaries for the diastereoselective reduction of α-keto esters

Five partly novel aryl substituted m-hydrobenzoins were synthesized and the corresponding desymmetrized hydrobenzoin ethers evaluated as open chain chiral auxiliaries in the L-Selectride mediated stereoselective reduction of phenylglyoxylates, resulting in de values of up to 91%. Two optimized auxiliary structures were immobilized on commercially available Wang-resin and applied as a reusable solid supported chiral auxiliary in the same type of reaction.
