Helically chiral poly(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)s bearing 4-(dipropylamino)pyridin-3-yl pendants at the 5-position of the quinoxaline ring (PQXdpap) exhibited high catalytic activities and moderate to high selectivities (up to s = 87) in the acylative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols. The solvent-dependent helical chirality switching of PQXdpap between pure toluene and a 1:1 mixture of toluene and 1,1,2-trichloroethane enabled the preparation of either compound of a pair of enantiomerically pure alcohols (>99% ee) from a single catalyst.

Herein, we report a highly active catalyst system consisting of (Rc,Rc,Rp,Rp)-P-chirogenic Trost ligand and [Ru(C6H6)Cl2]2 for asymmetric hydrogenation of simple ketones, affording the corresponding optically active alcohols in moderate enantioselectivity. A synergetic effect between P- and C-chirogenic centers of the P-chirogenic Trost ligands was observed in this asymmetric hydrogenation process.

Methyl- A nd phenyllithium aggregates with enantiopure anisyl fencholate units form after reaction of organolithium reagent with (+)-anisyl fenchol in hydrocarbon and some ethereal solvents. These carbanionic aggregates are characterized by X-ray crystal analyses and exhibit both 3:1 stoichiometry and distorted cubic Li4O3C1 cores, in which three lithium ions coordinate the carbanion (i.e., methylide or phenylide). These three lithium ions define a Lewis acidic surface (Li3), binding the carbanion and expanding with the steric demand of the carbanion (i.e., from Me: 2.62 ?2, over n-Bu: 2.65 ?2 (previous work) to Ph: 2.79 ?2). Methylation and phenylation reactions of various prochiral aldehydes employing these methyllithium and phenyllithium aggregates yield alcohols with up to 44% ee. To rationalize the formation of the mixed (carb-)anionic aggregates, aggregate formation energies, describing co-condensations of RLi (R = Me, Ph, n-Bu) and lithium fencholates, are computed for the 3:1 and 2:2 stoichiometries. These computed aggregate formation energies point to preferences for 3:1 over 2:2 aggregates, as it is also apparent from experimental aggregate formations, confirmed by X-ray crystal analyses. In close analogy to the X-ray crystal structures, the computed Li3 surfaces increase with increasing steric demand of the carbanions. The chiral, mixed (carb-)anionic RLi-fencholate aggregates hence adapt to different carbanion sized and arise not only with small (Me) or primary carbanions (n-Bu) but even with the larger secondary phenyl anion.

A polystyrene-supported isothiourea catalyst, based on the homogeneous catalyst HyperBTM, has been prepared and used for the acylative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols. A wide range of alcohols, including benzylic, allylic, and propargylic alcohols, cycloalkanol derivatives, and a 1,2-diol, has been resolved using either propionic or isobutyric anhydride with good to excellent selectivity factors obtained (28 examples, s values up to 600). The catalyst can be recovered and reused by a simple filtration and washing sequence, with no special precautions needed. The recyclability of the catalyst was demonstrated (15 cycles) with no significant loss in either activity or selectivity. The recyclable catalyst was also used for the sequential resolution of 10 different alcohols using different anhydrides with no cross-contamination between cycles. Finally, successful application in a continuous flow process demonstrated the first example of an immobilized Lewis base catalyst used for the kinetic resolution of alcohols in flow.
Kinetic resolution of secondary carbinols by a chiral N,N-4-dimethylaminopyridine derivative containing a 1,1′-binaphthyl unit: Hydrogen bonding affects catalytic activity and enantioselectivity

We developed an acylative kinetic resolution of secondary carbinols using a binaphthyl-based N,N-4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) derivative 1d with tert-Alcohol substituents. The reaction proceeded with a wide range of carbinols with moderate to high selectivity (s) (up to s = 79.5). Kinetic studies revealed that catalyst 1d was more catalytically active than the corresponding bis-methyl ether 1d′ or DMAP. Hydrogen bonding between tert-Alcohols of the catalyst and secondary carbinols was responsible for the enhanced reaction rate and high enantioselectivity.

We describe the preparation and catalytic reactions of new CCN pincer Rh and Ru complexes containing NCH-oxazoline hybrid ligands. Oxazolinyl-phenyl-imidazolium derivatives (3) were suitable ligand precursors for the CCN pincer scaffold. C-H bond activation of 3 with RhCl3·3H2O in the presence of NEt3 yielded the desired CCN pincer Rh complexes 5 in 13-27% yields. The related CCN pincer Ru complexes 8-10 were synthesized in good yields by C-H bond activation of p-cymene Ru complexes 7 in the presence of NaOAc in DMF. The chiral complexes 8 and 9 had two diastereomers according to the coordination of CO and OAc ligands. The CCN Rh complexes showed catalytic activity for conjugate reduction of ethyl β-methylcinnamate with hydrosilane, with moderate enantioselectivity. The CCN Ru complexes were found to be active in the hydrogenation of aromatic ketones. In particular, hydrogenation of 9-acetylanthracene took place at not only the C=O bond but also the anthracene ring. The Ru complexes were also used as catalysts in the transfer hydrogenation of 9-acetylanthracene with 2-propanol; again, both the C=O bond and the anthracene ring were hydrogenated.

The first second-generation designer Ru(II) catalyst 1b featuring an enantiopure N,C-(N-ethylene-N-methyl-sulfamoyl)-tethered (DPEN- κ2N,N′)/η6-toluene hybrid ligand is introduced. Using an S/C = 1000 in HCO2H-Et3N 5:2 transfer hydrogenation medium, secondary 1-naphthyl alcohols are obtained in up to >99.9% ee under mild conditions. Mechanistic factors are discussed.

Kinetic resolution of racemic alcohols has been traditionally achieved via enzymatic enantioselective esterification and ester hydrolysis. However, there has long been considerable interest in devising nonenzymatic alternative methods for this transformation. Amidine-based catalysts (ABCs), a new class of enantioselective acyl transfer catalysts developed in our group, have demonstrated, inter alia, high efficacy in the kinetic resolution of benzylic, allylic, and propargylic secondary alcohols and 2-substituted cycloalkanols, and thus provide a viable alternative to enzymes.
Solution-phase synthesis and evaluation of tetraproline chiral stationary phases

A protocol was developed for the solution-phase synthesis of multigram amounts of two 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc)-protected tetraproline peptides. These tetraproline peptides were then attached to amino derivatized silica gel. The replacement of the Fmoc group with the trimethylacetyl group lead to two tetraproline chiral stationary phases (CSPs). A comparison of the chromatographic behavior of these two solution-phase-synthesized tetraproline CSPs with that prepared by stepwise solid-phase synthesis revealed that all three had similar chromatographic performance for resolving 53 model analytes. This suggests that the solution-phase synthesis of oligoprolines, which allows for the specific benefits of good batch reproducibility, selector homogeneity, and possibly low cost, is a feasible alternative to the solid-phase synthesis of oligoproline CSPs.
