New Access Routes to Privileged and Chiral Ligands for Transition-Metal Catalyzed Hydrogen Autotransfer (Borrowing Hydrogen), Dehydrogenative Condensation, and Alkene Isomerization Reactions

A group of transition-metal catalyzed hydrogen moving reactions, encompassing hydrogen autotransfer (HAT; also called borrowing hydrogen, BH), dehydrogenative condensation (DHC) and alkene isomerization, displays high atom economy and relies on widely ava

Tricyclic Sulfoxide-Alkene Hybrid Ligands for Chiral Rh(I) Complexes: The "Matched" Diastereomer Catalyzes Asymmetric C-C Bond Formations

Deprotonation of phenyldibenzo[b,f]tropylidene (8) with LDA/t-BuOK followed by quenching with either diastereomer of inexpensive glucose-based t-Bu-sulfinate (R)- or (S)-11 affords a sulfoxide-alkene hybrid ligand as the diastereomeric pairs (SS,SC)-9/(SS,RC)-10 and (RS,RC)-9/(RS,SC)-10, respectively, which via chromatographic/recrystallization may be separated into the four isomers. The optically pure diastereomeric ligands (SS,SC)-9 and (SS,RC)-10 react with [RhCl(coe)2]2 to form the dinuclear complexes (RS,SC)-11 and (RS,RC)-12, respectively, in which the bidentate ligands coordinate the metal centers through the sulfur and alkene donor functions. These complexes catalyze the conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to cyclic Michael acceptors with enantioselectivities of up to 99% ee. DFT calculations show the preponderant influence of planar chirality of the ligand alkene function. The enantioselectivity switch observed between (RS,SC)-11 and (RS,RC)-12 is explained by the inverted cis-trans coordinations of the substrate molecules in catalytic steps.

The mutagenesis of a single site for enhancing or reversing the enantio- or regiopreference of cyclohexanone monooxygenases

The mutagenesis of a "second sphere"switch residue of CHMOAcineto could control its enantio- and regiopreference. Replacing phenylalanine (F) at position 277 of CHMOAcineto into larger tryptophan (W) enabled a significant enhancement of enantio- or regioselectivity toward structurally diverse substrates, moreover, a complete reversal of enantio- or regiopreference was realized by mutating F277 into a range of smaller amino acids (A/C/D/E/G/H/I/K/L/M/N/P/Q/R/S/T/V).

A diastereomeric pair of sulfoxide-containing chiral MOP-type ligands: Preparation and application to rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions

(R,SS)-Sulfoxide-MOP (L2) and (R,RS)-sulfoxide-MOP (L3) were developed as a diastereomeric pair of sulfoxide-containing chiral MOP-type ligands. These two ligands also represent the first monosulfoxide analogues of BINAP. The chiral ligand L2 was successfully applied to the highly enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed 1,4-addition between α,β-unsaturated ketones or esters and arylboronic acids, and exhibited a broad substrate scope when the reaction was performed using 1.5 mol% Rh in cyclohexane/H2O (10:1) at 40 °C under mild basic conditions.

Aqueous Asymmetric 1,4-Addition of Arylboronic Acids to Enones Catalyzed by an Amphiphilic Resin-Supported Chiral Diene Rhodium Complex under Batch and Continuous-Flow Conditions

A rhodium-chiral diene complex immobilized on amphiphilic polystyrene-poly(ethylene glycol) (PS-PEG) resin (PS-PEG-diene?-Rh) has been developed. The immobilized rhodium-chiral diene complex (PS-PEG-diene?-Rh) efficiently catalyzed the asymmetric 1,4-addition of various arylboronic acids to cyclic or linear enones in water under batch conditions to give the corresponding β-arylated carbonyl compounds in excellent yields and with excellent enantioselectivity. The catalyst was readily recovered by simple filtration and reused 10 times without loss of its catalytic activity and enantioselectivity. Moreover, a continuous-flow asymmetric 1,4-addition in a flow reactor containing PS-PEG-diene?-Rh proceeded efficiently at 50 °C with retention of high enantioselectivity. Long-term continuous-flow asymmetric 1,4-addition during 12 h readily gave the desired product on a 10 g scale with high enantioselectivity.

Chiral Metal Nanoparticle Systems as Heterogeneous Catalysts beyond Homogeneous Metal Complex Catalysts for Asymmetric Addition of Arylboronic Acids to α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds

We describe the use of chiral metal nanoparticle systems, as novel heterogeneous chiral catalysts for the asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, as representative C-C bond-forming reactions. The reactions proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding β-arylated products in high to excellent yields and outstanding enantioselectivities with wide substrate scope. Remarkably, the nanoparticle catalysts showed performance in terms of yield, enantioselectivity, and catalytic turnover that was superior to that of the corresponding homogeneous metal complexes. The catalyst can be successfully recovered and reused in a gram-scale synthesis with low catalyst loading without significant loss of activity. The nature of the active species was investigated, and we found that characteristic features of the nanoparticle system were totally different from those of the metal complex system.

Laccase/2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinoxyl radical (TEMPO): An efficient catalytic system for selective oxidations of primary hydroxy and amino groups in aqueous and biphasic media

Copper salts/2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinoxyl radical (TEMPO) catalytic systems enable efficient aerobic oxidations of primary alcohols but they generally show a reduced reactivity in aqueous medium. Herein, we report an oxidative catalytic system composed of Trametes versicolor laccase and TEMPO, which is able to work in buffer solutions at room temperature using ambient air. Although this catalytic system displays great efficiency in aqueous systems, the addition of methyl tert-butyl ether allows the reduction of TEMPO loading, also enhancing the solubility of hydrophobic compounds. This practical methodology promotes the chemoselective aerobic oxidation of hydroxy or amino groups, leading to interesting organic derivatives such as aldehydes, lactones, hemiaminals or lactams.

Ti/Ni-mediated inter- and intramolecular conjugate addition of aryl and alkenyl halides and triflates

In this work, we show that the unique combination of a nickel catalyst and Cp2TiCl allows the direct conjugate addition of aryl and alkenyl iodides, bromides, and to a lesser extent, chlorides and triflates to α,β-unsaturated carbonyls at room temperature, without requiring the previous formation of an organometallic nucleophile. The reaction proceeds inter- and intramolecularly with good functional group compatibility, which is key for the development of free protecting group methodologies. Carbo- and heterocycles of five- and six-membered rings are obtained in good yields. Moreover, some insights about the mechanism involved have been obtained from cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis, and HRTEM measurements.

Aerobic oxidative desymmetrization of meso-diols with bifunctional amidoiridium catalysts bearing chiral N-sulfonyldiamine ligands

Asymmetric aerobic oxidation of a range of meso- and prochiral diols with chiral bifunctional Ir catalysts is described. A high level of chiral discrimination ability of Cpa? -Ir complexes derived from (S,S)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine was successfully demonstrated by desymmetrization of secondary benzylic diols such as cis-indan-1,3-diol and cis-1,4-diphenylbutane-1,4-diol, providing the corresponding (R)-hydroxyl ketones with excellent chemo- and enantioselectivities. Enantiotopic group discrimination in oxidation of symmetrical primary 1,4- and 1,5-diols gave rise to chiral lactones with moderate ees under similar aerobic conditions.

Enantioselective preparation of δ-valerolactones with horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase

Horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH) has been found to be a versatile biocatalyst for the desymmetrization of prochiral 3-arylpentane-1,5-diols, based on a two-step one-pot oxidation. This procedure has allowed the formation of valuable (S)-lactones in good to excellent conversions and enantiomeric excess. The catalytic performance of HLADH has been studied using several cofactor regeneration systems and cosolvents, finding great improvements in terms of activity with L-lactate dehydrogenase, while the stereoselectivity of the process was significantly improved when using tetrahydrofuran. Docking studies has revealed the pattern substitution importance in the selectivity and activity of this oxidative process. Not just horsing around: Horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase is found to be a versatile biocatalyst for the desymmetrization of 3-arylpentane-1,5-diols through a two-step one-pot oxidation. The catalytic performance of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH) is studied with several cofactor regeneration systems and cosolvents. Docking studies reveal the importance of pattern substitution in the selectivity and activity of this biotransformation.
