Room temperature highly enantioselective nickel-catalyzed hydrovinylation

At room temperature, nickel catalysts based on the new phosphoramidite (11bR)-N-[(S)-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethyl]-N-[(S)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)ethyl] dinaphtho[2,1-d:1, 2'-f] [1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin-4-amine provide excellent selectivities for 3-arylbut-1-enes (9

Efficient, selective, and green: Catalyst tuning for highly enatioselective reactions of ethylene

Fine tuning of the biaryl and amino moieties of Feringa's phosphoramidite ligands yields structurally simpler, yet more efficient and selective, ligands for asymmetric hydrovinylation of vinylarenes and acylic 1,3-dienes. The enantioselectivities and yields observed in the formation of the 3-arylbutenes are among the highest for all asymmetric catalytic processes reported to date for the synthesis of intermediates for the widely used antiinflammatory 2-arylpropionic acids including naproxen, ibuprofen, fenoprofen, and flurbiprofen.

Asymmetric cross-coupling of potassium 2-butenyltrifluoroborates with aryl and 1-alkenyl bromides catalyzed by a Pd(OAc)2/Josiphos complex

The asymmetric cross-coupling reaction of [CH3CH= CHCH 2BF3]K with aryl or 1-alkenyl bromides selectively occurred at the γ-carbon of 2-butenylborane moiety with regioselectivities in a range of 84-99%. The enantioselectiv

Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrovinylation under mild conditions using monodentate chiral spiro phosphoramidite and phosphite ligands

Palladium complexes of chiral spiro phosphoramidite and phosphite ligands are effective catalysts in the asymmetric hydrovinylation of vinylarenes with ethylene. The hydrovinylation products were obtained in modest selectivity with enantioselectivities up to 92% ee. The structures of the palladium catalysts have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The active catalyst contained one monodentate ligand. A kinetic resolution accompanied the isomerization of the hydrovinylation product in the reaction.

Tunable phosphinite, phosphite and phosphoramidite ligands for the asymmetric hydrovinylation reactions

Only a limited number of ligands have been successfully employed for the Ni-catalyzed asymmetric hydrovinylation reaction. Diarylphosphinites, carrying β-acylamino groups prepared from readily available carbohydrates, in conjunction with highly dissociated counteranions {[(3,5-(CF3) 2C6H3]4B- or SbF 6-}, effect the hydrovinylation of vinylarenes under ambient pressure of ethylene with high enantioselectivity. Nitrogen substituents such as -COCF3 and COPh groups lead to isomerization of the primary products (3-arylbutenes) to Z- and E-2-aryl-2-butenes. In a prototypical synthesis of a 2-arylproionic acid, (S)-3-(4-bromophenyl)-1-butene (89% ee) has be transformed into (R)-ibuprofen by Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling with i-BuMgBr, followed by oxidation of the double bond with NaIO4 and KMnO 4. Asymmetric codimerization of norbonene and ethylene using binaphthol-derived phosphoramidites as ligands gives 1:1, 2:1 or polymeric adducts depending on the relative configurations and nature of the BINAP and amine moieties. With one of the phosphoramidite-Ni complexes, counteranions BAr4- [Ar=3,5-(CF3)2C 6H3] and SbF6-, which had been used interchangeably in other reactions, give either a 1:1 adduct or a 2:1 adduct, respectively.

Fine-tuning monophosphine ligands for enhanced enantioselectivity. Influence of chiral hemilabile pendant groups

C2-Symmetric P-(2-X-aryl)-2,5-dialkylphospholanes (X = dioxolan-2-yl or dioxan-2-yl), designed on the basis of a working model for asymmetric induction, are effective ligands for the Ni(II)-catalyzed asymmetric hydrovinylation of styrenes. Excellent yields (>99%), selectivities for the desired 3-arylbutenes (>99%), high S/C ratios (>1200), and ee's (up to 91%) have been realized for a number of prototypical vinylarenes. In the dioxolane series, the selectivity depends on the configuration of the C 4 and C5 carbons.

Tunable ligands for asymmetric catalysis: Readily available carbohydrate-derived diarylphosphinites induce high selectivity in the hydrovinylation of styrene derivatives

Only a limited number of ligands have been successfully employed for the Ni-catalyzed asymmetric hydrovinylation reaction. Diarylphosphonites prepared from readily available carbohydrates in conjunction with a highly dissociated counterion ([3,5-(CF3

Chiral (β-Aminoalkyl)phosphines. Highly Efficient Phosphine Ligands for Catalytic Asymmetric Grignard Cross-Coupling

New chiral (β-aminoalkyl)phosphines, RCH(NMe2)CH2PPh2 , were prepared by starting with optically active amino acids.The phosphines were used as ligands for nickel-catalyzed asymmetric cross-coupling of 1-arylethyl Grignard reagents (ArMeCHMgCl) with vinyl bromide.Coupling products of over 70percent enantiomeric excess (ee) were obtained in the reaction with the ligand Phephos, Valphos, Ilephos, PhGlyphos, ChGlyphos, or t-Leuphos.A mechanism involving complexation of the magnesium atom in the Grignard reagent with the amino group on the (β-aminoalkyl)phosphine ligand is proposed to account for the high stereoselectivity.The asymmetric cross-coupling was applied to the synthesis of optically active 2-arylpropionic acids.
