Enantioselective iridium-catalyzed hydrogenation of α-arylcinnamic acids and synthesis of (S)-equol☆

Add time:09/08/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

By using iridium catalyst based on chiral spiro phosphine–oxazoline ligands, the hydrogenation of α-arylcinnamic acids was accomplished under ambient pressure and low catalyst loading (as low as 0.01 mol %), providing useful 2,3-diarylpropionic acids in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). A catalytic enantioselective synthesis of (S)-equol with the present hydrogenation reaction as a key step was accomplished starting from commercially available starting materials in six steps with 48.4% overall yield.
