Electronic Effect-Guided Rational Design of Candida antarctica Lipase B for Kinetic Resolution Towards Diarylmethanols

Herein, we developed an electronic effect-guided rational design strategy to enhance the enantioselectivity of Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) mutants towards bulky pyridyl(phenyl)methanols. Compared to W104A mutant previously reported with reversed S-stereoselectivity toward sec-alcohols, three mutants (W104C, W104S and W104T) displayed significant improvement of S-enantioselectivity in the kinetic resolution (KR) of various phenyl pyridyl methyl acetates due to the increased electronic effects between pyridyl and polar residues. The electronic effects were also observed when mutating other residues surrounding the stereospecificity pocket of CALB, such as T42A, S47A, A281S or A281C, and can be used to manipulate the stereoselectivity. A series of bulky pyridyl(phenyl) methanols, including S-(4-chlorophenyl)(pyridin-2-yl) methanol (S-CPMA), the intermediate of bepotastine, were obtained in good yields and ee values.

Tunable System for Electrochemical Reduction of Ketones and Phthalimides

Herein, we report an efficient, tunable system for electrochemical reduction of ketones and phthalimides at room temperature without the need for stoichiometric external reductants. By utilizing NaN3 as the electrolyte and graphite felt as both the cathode and the anode, we were able to selectively reduce the carbonyl groups of the substrates to alcohols, pinacols, or methylene groups by judiciously choosing the solvent and an acidic additive. The reaction conditions were compatible with a diverse array of functional groups, and phthalimides could undergo one-pot reductive cyclization to afford products with indolizidine scaffolds. Mechanistic studies showed that the reactions involved electron, proton, and hydrogen atom transfers. Importantly, an N3/HN3 cycle operated as a hydrogen atom shuttle, which was critical for reduction of the carbonyl groups to methylene groups.

Nickel-Mediated Enantiospecific Silylation via Benzylic C-OMe Bond Cleavage

Benzylic stereocenters are found in bioactive and drug molecules, as enantiopure benzylic alcohols have been used to build such a stereogenic center, but are limited to the construction of a C-C bond. Silylation of alkyl alcohols has the potential to build bioactive molecules and building blocks; however, the development of such a process is challenging and unknown. Herein, we describe an unprecedented AgF-assisted nickel catalysis in the enantiospecific silylation of benzylic ethers.

Electrochemical Hydrogenation with Gaseous Ammonia

As a carbon-free and sustainable fuel, ammonia serves as high-energy-density hydrogen-storage material. It is important to develop new reactions able to utilize ammonia as a hydrogen source directly. Herein, we report an electrochemical hydrogenation of alkenes, alkynes, and ketones using ammonia as the hydrogen source and carbon electrodes. A variety of heterocycles and functional groups, including for example sulfide, benzyl, benzyl carbamate, and allyl carbamate were well tolerated. Fast stepwise electron transfer and proton transfer processes were proposed to account for the transformation.

Design, Synthesis, and Application of NNN Pincer Ligands Possessing a Remote Hydroxyl Group for Ruthenium-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones

A new family of pyridyl-based NNN pincer ligands bearing a remote pendent OH group were developed. Considerable acceleration effects on the activity of Ru-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of ketones were imparted by the pendent OH group, and importantly, introducing a CH2OH group to the 4′-position of the pyrazolyl moiety is an appropriate choice. The results present a general strategy for exploring bifunctional ligands to construct effective catalysts.

PBr3-mediated unexpected reductive deoxygenation of α-aryl-pyridinemethanols: Synthesis of arylmethylpyridines

PBr3-mediated reductive deoxygenation of α-aryl-pyridinemethanols to provide arylmethylpyridines is described, the alcohol substrate scope is explored, free radical trap TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy) is introduced, and the hydrogen source of the methylene product is defined. The unexpected reaction enabled us to prepare previously inaccessible, novel EP1 antagonists.

Aerobic oxidation of secondary pyridine-derivative alcohols in the presence of carbon-supported noble metal catalysts

Pt/C and PtBi/C catalysts prepared on a synthetic mesoporous carbon were evaluated in the oxidation of secondary aromatic alcohols (1-phenylethanol, α-methyl or phenyl pyridinemethanol) with air in different dioxane/water mixtures at 100 °C under 10 bar air. The observed activity for all substrates over both types of catalysts was strongly improved with the addition of water to the dioxane solvent as a result of different interactions of the alcohols with the metallic surface in the apolar dioxane solvent or polar aqueous medium. A promoting effect of bismuth was observed for all substrates. However, the reaction rate was also dramatically influenced by the nature of the aromatic moiety, the nature of the α-group, and the position of the substituent on the pyridine moiety. As a general rule the reactivity was meta para ortho and the pyridine derivatives with a phenyl group were more reactive. α-Phenyl-2-pyridinemethanol was totally converted to 2-benzoylpyridine with a selectivity of 96% in dioxane/water 50/50 vol% in the presence of a 2.7% Pt-0.9% Bi/C. Nevertheless, platinum leaching was detected, which could be limited with the promotion by bismuth.

Generation and reactions of pyridyllithiums via Br/li exchange reactions using continuous flow microreactor systems

A continuous flow microreactor method for generating and carrying out reactions on pyridyllithiums has been developed based on Br/Li exchange reactions of bromopyridines and dibromopyridines. The reactions can be carried out without using cryogenic conditions by virtue of short residence times and efficient heat transfer, while very low temperatures such as-78 or-110°C are required for conventional batch macro methods. Moreover, sequential introduction of two different electrophiles has been successfully achieved using dibromopyridines in an integrated flow microreactor system composed of four micromixers and four microtube reactors.
