Highly enantioselective iridium-catalyzed hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated esters

α,β-Unsaturated esters have been employed as substrates in iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation. Full conversions and good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee) were obtained for a broad range of substrates with both aromatic- and aliphatic substituents on the prochiral carbon. The hydrogenated products are highly useful as building blocks in the synthesis of a variety of natural products and pharmaceuticals. Asymmetric hydrogenation: A variety of α,β-unsaturated esters were hydrogenated with high enantioselectivities (see scheme). The hydrogenated products have been used in synthetic transformations as well as in formal total syntheses. Copyright

Highly enantioselective asymmetric isomerization of primary allylic alcohols with an iridium-N,P complex

Access to chiral aldehydes: The asymmetric isomerization of primary allylic alcohols was studied with a bicyclic phosphine-oxazoline iridium catalyst. This method displays a broad substrate scope and leads to the desired chiral aldehydes with excellent enantioselectivities (see scheme; R1, R 2=Ar or alkyl). Copyright

Pd-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of C=C bond of α,β- unsaturated ketones

Homogenous palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of C=C double bond of ,-unsaturated ketones has been -developed by using palladium(II) trifluoroacetate/(S)-7,7-bis-[di(4-methoxyphenyl]phosphino)-1,1-spirobiindane complex [Pd(OCOCF3)2-(S)-An-SDP] as the catalyst under ambient hydrogen pressure and room temperature with up to 89% ee.

Single-isomer trisubstituted olefins from a novel reaction of (E)-βchloro-α-iodo-α,β-unsaturated esters and amides

(Chemical Equation Presented) (E)-β-Chloro-α-iodo-α, β-unsaturated esters are converted to single isomer trisubstituted olefins bearing three different carbon substituents by cross-coupling under reflux. Mechanistic investigations suggest that this process transfers a hydrogen from the boronic acid to the α-position of the substrate and then introduces an aryl group to the β-position of the intermediate template while replacing chloride. The reaction is highly stereoselective, showing preference for the E-isomer. The process proceeds through (E)-β-chloro-α-aryl-α, β-unsaturated esters that are transformed efficiently into the corresponding E-products through stereoselective Suzuki-type reactions giving single isomers. The observed stereo-chemistry is apparently enabled by the intermediacy of a palladium allenoate. The reaction involves a catalytic cycle in which PdII is reduced to Pd0 through the formation of biaryl-coupled products.

Highly chemo- And enantioselective hydrogenation of linear α,β-unsaturated ketones

A study was conducted to report the synthesis of sulfoximine-derived P,N-ligands and their applications in indium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation reactions. Investigations were conducted using linear β,β- disubstituted 1,3-diphenyl-2-butenone as model substrate and iridium, having a ketonic phenyl group and two alkyl substituents at the olefinic β-positions. Methyl ketone with β-methyl and β-phenyl substituent was also applied in the investigations.

Synthesis of novel diazatricyclodecanes (DTDs). Effects of structural variation at the C3′ allyl end and at the phenyl ring of the cinnamyl chain on μ-receptor affinity and opioid antinociception

Two series of analogues of 9-propionyl-10-cinnamyl-9,10-diazatricyclo[4.2.1.12,5]decane (1a) and 2-propionyl-7-cinnamyl-2,7-diazatricyclo[4.4.0.03,8]decane (2a), in which the cinnamyl moiety was replaced by various aralkenyl chains,

N-3(9)-arylpropenyl-N-9(3)-propionyl-3,9-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes as μ-opioid receptor agonists. Effects on μ-affinity of arylalkenyl chain modifications

Two series of N-3-arylpropenyl-N-9-propionyl-3,9-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes (1b-j) and of the reverted N-3-propionyl-N-9-arylpropenyl isomers (2b-j) as analogues of the previously reported analgesic N-3(9)-cinnamyl-N-9(3)-propionyl-3,9-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes (DBN) (1a, 2a) were synthesised and their affinity and selectivity towards opioid μ-, δ- and κ-receptors were evaluated. Several compounds (1e,i,j-2d,e,f,g,j) exhibited a μ-affinity in the low nanomolar range with moderate or negligible affinity towards δ- and κ-receptors. The representative term N-9-(3,3-diphenylprop-2-enyl)-N-3-propionyl-DBN (2d) displayed in vivo (mouse) a potent analgesic effect (ED50 3.88 mg/kg ip) which favourably compared with that of morphine (ED50 5 mg/kg ip). In addition, 2d produced in mice tolerance after a period twice as long with morphine.
