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.

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.
