Miyafuji, Akio,Katsuki, Tsutomu
, p. 836 - 838 (1997)
A highly enantiotopic-place selective C-H oxidation of cyclic ether (up to 82% ee) was first achieved by using (R,R)-(salen)manganese(III) complex 8 as a catalyst.

Reversible cleavage of C(sp3)-H bonds can enable racemization or epimerization, offering a valuable tool to edit the stereochemistry of organic compounds. While epimerization reactions operating via cleavage of acidic C(sp3)-H bonds, such as the Cα-H of carbonyl compounds, have been widely used in organic synthesis and enzyme-catalyzed biosynthesis, epimerization of tertiary carbons bearing a nonacidic C(sp3)-H bond is much more challenging with few practical methods available. Herein, we report the first synthetically useful protocol for the epimerization of tertiary carbons via reversible radical cleavage of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds with hypervalent iodine reagent benziodoxole azide and H2O under mild conditions. These reactions exhibit excellent reactivity and selectivity for unactivated 3° C-H bonds of various cycloalkanes and offer a powerful strategy for editing the stereochemical configurations of carbon scaffolds intractable to conventional methods. Mechanistic study suggests that the unique ability of N3? to serve as a catalytic H atom shuttle is critical to reversibly break and reform 3° C-H bonds with high efficiency and selectivity.

The enantioselective formation of α-aryloxy-β-keto esters is described for the first time. Lewis acid catalyzed enantioselective chlorination of β-keto esters and subsequent SN2 reactions with phenols yielded α-aryloxy-β-keto esters with up to 96 % ee. Favorskii rearrangement of α-chloro-β-keto esters was also found to give 1,2-diesters with slightly reduced enantiopurity.

Novel cis-1,2-bis(di-tertbutyl-phosphinomethyl) carbocyclic ligands 6-9 have been prepared and the corresponding palladium complexes [Pd(O 3SCH3)(L-L)][O3SCH3] (L-L = diphosphine) 32-35 synthesised and characterised by NMR spectroscopy and Xray diffraction. These diphosphine ligands give very active catalysts for the palladium-catalysed methoxycarbonylation of ethene. The activity varies with the size of the carbocyclic backbone, ligands 7 and 9, containing four- and six-membered ring backbones giving more active systems. The acid used as co-catalyst has a strong influence on the activity, with excess trifluoroacetic acid affording the highest conversion, whereas excess methyl sulfonic acid inhibits the catalytic system. An in oper-ando NMR spectroscopic mechanistic study has established the catalytic cycle and resting state of the catalyst under operating reaction conditions. Although the catalysis follows the hydride pathway, the resting state is shown to be the hydride precursor complex [Pd(O3SCH3)(L-L)][O3SCH3], which demonstrates that an isolable/detectable hydride complex is not a prerequisite for this mechanism.

An efficient oxidative lactonization of 1,4-diols in acetone is accomplished by the well-defined ruthenium catalyst, whose bifunctional nature underlies the high efficiency as well as unique chemo- and regioselectivity of the reaction which provides a rapid access to γ-butyrolactones including flavor lactones hinokinin, and muricatacin.

R?me, Daniel,Johansson, Martin,Sterner, Olov
, p. 635 - 638 (2007/10/03)
A simple and efficient synthetic route to the bicyclic α,β-unsaturated β-keto ester methyl (3aS,7aS)-6-oxo-2,3,3a,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-indene-5-carboxylate, a versatile intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active unsaturated 1,4-dialdehydes, is described. The synthesis includes a chirality introducing nonenzymatic asymmetric desymmetrization (ADS) reaction of a cyclic meso-anhydride 4 and a modified Hofmann method for preparing exocyclic dienes. The ester was synthesized in a moderate overall yield (19%) from 6 and with an excellent enantioselectivity (>90%).
Ruthenium(salen)-catalyzed aerobic oxidative desymmetrizatin of meso-diols and its kinetics
Shimizu, Hideki,Onitsuka, Satoaki,Egami, Hiromichi,Katsuki, Tsutomu
, p. 5396 - 5413 (2007/10/03)
Chiral (nitrosyl)ruthenium(salen) complexes were found to be efficient catalysts for aerobic oxidative desymmetrization of meso-diols under photoirradiation to give optically active tactols. The scope of the applicability of this reaction ranges widely from acyclic diols to mono-cyclic diols, although fine ligand-tuning of the ruthenium(salen) complexes was required to attain high enantioselectivity (up to 93% ee). In particular, the nature of the apical ligand was found to affect not only enantioselectivity but also kinetics of the desymmetrization reaction. Spectroscopic analysis of the oxidation disclosed that irradiation of visible light is indispensable not only for dissociation of the nitrosyl ligand but also for single electron transfer from the alcohol-bound ruthenium ion to dioxygen.
