Nickel-Catalyzed Multicomponent Coupling: Synthesis of α-Chiral Ketones by Reductive Hydrocarbonylation of Alkenes

A nickel-catalyzed, multicomponent regio- and enantioselective coupling via sequential hydroformylation and carbonylation from readily available starting materials has been developed. This modular multicomponent hydrofunctionalization strategy enables the straightforward reductive hydrocarbonylation of a broad range of unactivated alkenes to produce a wide variety of unsymmetrical dialkyl ketones bearing a functionalized α-stereocenter, including enantioenriched chiral α-aryl ketones and α-amino ketones. It uses chiral bisoxazoline as a ligand, silane as a reductant, chloroformate as a safe CO source, and a racemic secondary benzyl chloride or an N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHP) ester of a protected α-amino acid as the alkylation reagent. The benign nature of this process renders this method suitable for late-stage functionalization of complex molecules.

Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of N-Protected Amino Acid Esters via Phase-Transfer Catalytic Base Hydrolysis

Asymmetric base hydrolysis of α-chiral esters with synthetic small-molecule catalysts is described. Quaternary ammonium salts derived from quinine were used as chiral phase-transfer catalysts to promote the base hydrolysis of N-protected amino acid hexafluoroisopropyl esters in a CHCl3/NaOH (aq) via dynamic kinetic resolution, providing the corresponding products in moderate to good yields (up to 99%) with up to 96:4 er. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies using DFT calculation and pseudotransition state (pseudo-TS) conformational search afforded a TS model accounting for the origin of the stereoselectivity. The model suggested π-stacking and H-bonding interactions play essential roles in stabilizing the TS structures.

Bifunctional squaramide-catalyzed synthesis of chiral dihydrocoumarins via ortho-quinone methides generated from 2-(1-tosylalkyl)phenols

A bifunctional squaramide-catalyzed reaction of azlactones with o-quinone methides in situ generated from 2-(1-tosylalkyl)-phenols has been successfully developed under basic conditions, providing an efficient and mild access to chiral dihydrocoumarins bearing adjacent tertiary and quaternary stereogenic centers in high yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities.

Palladium-catalyzed amidocarbonylation improved by recyclable ionic liquids

Two types of ionic liquids (halide anion ionic liquids and Brensted acidic ionic liquids) were first applied to improve the palladium-catalyzed amidocarbonylation. Both the palladium catalyst and the ionic liquids could be recycled at least five times without significant loss in catalytic activity. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

METHOD OF AMIDOCARBONYLATION REACTION

A novel method of an amidocarbonylation reaction among an aldehyde compound, an amide compound, and carbon monoxide, which comprises using a palladium-supporting crosslinked-polymer composition containing palladium clusters having a major-axis length of 20 nm or shorter to conduct the amidocarbonylation reaction. Thus, an N-acyl-±-amino acid can be more efficiently and selectively synthesized in a clean reaction system. Also provided is a catalyst for use in the method.

Efficient synthesis of N-acyl-α-amino acids via polymer incarcerated palladium-catalyzed amidocarbonylation

A novel polymer incarcerated Pd catalyst (PI Pd 7c) was synthesized from amide-containing polymer 6b, and this catalyst was shown to be effective in amidocarbonylation, which is a versatile one-pot method for the preparation of N-acyl-α-amino acids. The reactions proceeded smoothly with a wide variety of substrates, and no leaching of the Pd metal to the reaction mixture was detected.

Platinum-catalyzed amidocarbonylation

The first example of platinum-catalyzed amidocarbonylation of aldehydes with amides and carbon monoxide is described. In contrast to precedent palladium catalysis, a remarkable ligand acceleration by phosphines was observed. Furthermore, an optically active N-acetyl amino acid was partially epimerized under the platinum-catalyzed conditions, while faster racemization was observed under the palladium catalysis.

Practical and convenient enzymatic synthesis of enantiopure α-amino acids and amides

Catalyzed by the nitrile hydratase and the amidease in Rhodococcus sp. AJ270 cells under very mild conditions, a number of α-aryl- and α-alkyl-substituted DL-glycine nitriles 1 rapidly underwent a highly enantioselective hydrolysis to afford D-(-)-α-amino acid amides 2 and L-(+)-α-amino acids 3 in high yields with excellent enantiomeric excesses in most cases. The overall enantioselectivity of the biotransformations of nitriles originated from the combined effects of a high L-enantioselective amidase and a low enantioselective nitrile hydratase. The influence of the substrates on both reaction efficiency and enantioselectivity was also discussed in terms of steric and electronic effects. Coupled with chemical hydrolysis of D-(-)-α-phenylglycine amide, biotransformation of DL-phenylglycine nitrile was applied in practical scale to produce both D- and L-phenylglycines in high optical purity.

A new improved palladium-catalyzed amidocarbonylation

A new and improved variant of the palladium-catalyzed amidocarbonylation to yield N-acyl-α-amino acids is described. Using Pd/C as catalyst the products were prepared in good to excellent yields (up to 98 %). Advantages of the Pd/C-catalyst with regard to former catalyst systems are demonstrated by the preparation of N-substituted non-natural amino acids which are of current interest as structural units of peptoids.

First amidocarbonylation with nitriles for the synthesis of N-acyl amino acids

A new and efficient one-pot synthesis of N-acyl-α-amino acids by amidocarbonylation is described. Starting from aldehydes, nitriles and carbon monoxide in the presence of acid and palladium catalysts the desired N-acyl amino acids are obtained in good yie
