A nordehydroabietyl amide-containing chiral diene for rhodium-catalysed asymmetric arylation to nitroolefins

A highly enantioselective rhodium catalysed asymmetric arylation (RCAA) of nitroolefins with arylboronic acids is presented using a newly developed, C1-symmetric, non-covalent interacted, phellandrene derived, nordehydroabietyl amide-containing chiral diene under mild conditions. Stereoelectronic effects were studied, suggesting an activation of the bound substrate through the secondary amide as a hydrogen-bond donor.

Rhodium-catalyzed Asymmetric Arylation of Nitroalkenes Powered by Simple Chiral Sulfur-Olefin Ligands

An efficient rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective addition of potassium organotrifluoroborates to nitroalkenes powered by simple chiral sulfur-olefin ligands is reported. This protocol is applicable to a broad range of 2-aryl-, alkyl-, and heteroaryl-substituted nitroalkenes, allowing access to diverse chiral β,β-disubstituted nitroethanes in good to excellent yields with high enantioselectivity under mild conditions.

Rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions of aryl boronic acids with nitroalkenes: Reaction mechanism and development of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts

Asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions with nitroalkenes are valuable because the resulting chiral nitro compounds can be converted into various useful species often used as chiral building blocks in drug and natural product synthesis. In the present work, asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions of arylboronic acids with nitroalkenes catalyzed by a rhodium complex with a chiral diene bearing a tertiary butyl amide moiety were developed. Just 0.1 mol% of the chiral rhodium complex could catalyze the reactions and give the desired products in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The homogeneous catalyst thus developed could be converted to a reusable heterogeneous metal nanoparticle system using the same chiral ligand as a modifier, which was immobilized using a polystyrene-derived polymer with cross-linking moieties, maintaining the same level of enantioselectivity. To our knowledge, this is the first example of asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions of arylboronic acids with nitroalkenes in a heterogeneous system. Wide substrate generality and high catalytic turnover were achieved in the presence of sufficient water without any additives such as KOH or KHF2 in both homogeneous and heterogeneous systems. Various insights relating to a rate-limiting step in the catalytic cycle, the importance of water, role of the secondary amide moiety in the ligand, and active species in the heterogeneous system were obtained through mechanistic studies.

Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric addition of arylboronic acids to nitrostyrenes

A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric addition of arylboronic acids to nitrostyrene is reported. The catalytic system employing iPr-IsoQuinox as a chiral ligand in MeOH solvent under an air atmosphere provides the chiral diarylsubstituted products in high yields with good enantioselectivities. A variety of functionalized nitrostyrenes can be used, and the method tolerates some variation in arylboronic acid scope. The stereochemical outcome can be explained using a stereochemical model.

Pd/NHC-catalyzed enantiospecific and regioselective suzuki-miyaura arylation of 2-arylaziridines: Synthesis of enantioenriched 2-arylphenethylamine derivatives

A palladium-catalyzed stereospecific and regioselective cross-coupling of enantiopure 2-arylaziridines with arylboronic acids under mild conditions to construct a tertiary stereogenic center has been developed. N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands efficiently promote the coupling, suppressing β-hydride elimination. The enantiospecific cross-coupling allowed us for preparation of a series of biologically important 2-arylphenethylamine derivatives in an enantiopure form.

Rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric addition of arylboronic acids to β-nitroolefins: Formal synthesis of (S)-SKF 38393

An efficient enantioselective addition of an array of arylboronic acids to various β-nitrostyrenes catalyzed by a novel and reactive rhodium-diene catalyst (S/C up to 1000) was developed, providing β,β- diarylnitroethanes in good to high yields (62-99%) with excellent enantioselectivities (85-97% ee). The method was extended to 2-heteroarylnitroolefins and 2-alkylnitroolefins similarly providing the desired products with high enantioselectivities and yields. The usefulness of this method was demonstrated in the formal synthesis of the enantiomer of the dopamine receptor agonist and antagonist, SKF 38393.
