AAA in KAT/DYKAT processes: first- and second-generation asymmetric syntheses of (+)- and (-)-cyclophellitol

Kinetic resolutions and kinetic asymmetric transformations (KAT) as well as dynamic kinetic resolutions and dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformations (DYKAT) are important synthetic protocols. The feasibility of KAT and DYKAT processes for asymmetric allylic alkylations (AAA) is explored utilizing a single substrate--conduritol B tetraesters. Both processes can be performed resulting in excellent enantioselectivity. The impact of nucleophile and leaving group on the effectiveness of each is outlined. The ability to differentiate the various hydroxyl groups is also described. For this purpose, 4-tert-butyldimethylsiloxy-2,2-dimethylbutyric acid was developed as a nucleophile. The utility of effecting KAT/DYKAT processes through the Pd-catalyzed AAA reaction is demonstrated by efficient syntheses of both enantiomers of the potent glycosidase inhibitor cyclophellitol.     

Dynamic Stereochemistry of a Biphenyl-Bisprolineamide Model Catalyst and its Imidazolidinone Intermediates

In this study, we characterize the dynamic stereochemistry of a biphenyl-2,2’-bis(proline amide) catalyst in chloroform and DMSO as representative weakly and strongly hydrogen bonding solvents. Using vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) based spectra calculations, we show that the preferred axial stereochemistry of the catalyst is determined by solute-solvent interactions. Explicitly considering solvation with DMSO molecules is found to be essential to correctly predict the conformational preferences of the catalyst. Furthermore, we investigate the stereochemistry of the corresponding enamines and imidazolidinones that are formed upon reaction with isovaleraldehyde. The enamines are found to rapidly convert to endo-imidazolidinones and the thermodynamically favored exo-imidazolidinones are formed only slowly. The present study demonstrates that the stereochemistry of these imidazolidinones can be deduced directly from the VCD spectra analysis without any further detailed analysis of NMR spectra. Hence, we herein exemplify the use of VCD spectroscopy for an in situ characterization of intermediates relevant in asymmetric catalysts.     

几种手性原子转移自由基聚合引发剂的合成及其在螺旋选择性聚合中的应用

合成了(S)-2,2'-二(溴甲基)-1,1'-联萘, (S)-2'-甲基-2-溴甲基-1,1'-联萘, α-溴代苯乙酸薄荷酯, N-薄荷基-α-溴代苯乙酰胺和α-溴代苯乙酸胆甾烷醇酯5种旋光的溴代烷并将其用作非手性单体甲基丙烯酸-1-苯基二苯并环庚醇酯 (PDBSMA)的原子转移自由基聚合(ATRP)的手性引发剂. 为了使这些手性引发剂在引发一步生成的初级自由基不发生消旋化, 引发剂中的手性中心都不直接与溴原子相连. 用这5种手性溴代烷做引发剂引发PDBSMA的ATRP所得聚合物可分成四氢呋喃(THF)可溶部分和THF不溶部分. THF可溶部分具有较大的比旋光度. 对THF可溶部分的手性光学性质研究以及比较该部分聚合物和在同样引发条件下得到的甲基丙烯酸甲酯聚合物的比旋光度, 我们得出聚合物大的比旋光度是由聚合物单手性螺旋过量引起的结论, 即合成的手性引发剂对PDBSMA的ATRP均有一定的螺旋选择性, 其中(S)-2,2'-二(溴甲基)-1,1'-联萘、(S)-2'-甲基-2-溴甲基-1,1'-联萘螺旋选择性最好. 引发剂的螺旋诱导能力跟聚合反应的温度有很大关系, 聚合温度上限为70 ℃, 在0～70 ℃之间, 随着温度的升高引发剂的螺旋选择性逐渐增强.     

Asymmetric epoxidation of 6-cyano-2,2-dimethylchromene on Mn(salen) catalyst immobilized in mesoporous materials

This article reports our recent work on the heterogeneous asymmetric epoxidation catalyzed by chiral Mn(salen) catalyst axially immobilized via phenoxyl groups and organic sulfonic groups. The asymmetric epoxidation of 6-cyano-2,2-dimethylchromene was especially presented in detail. The factors that affected the asymmetric induction, such as the nanopores and the external surface, the linkage length, and the modification of nanopores with methyl groups were discussed. It was found that the enantioselectivities increased with decreasing the nanopore sizes or increasing the linkage length in nanopore, and the Mn(salen) catalyst immobilized into nanopores generally gave higher ee values than those on the external surface. The heterogeneous Mn(salen) catalysts with modified nanopores gave a TOF of 14.8 h⁻¹ and an ee value of 90.6% for the asymmetric epoxidation of 6-cyano-2,2-dimethylchromene, which were higher than the results (TOF 10.8 h⁻¹, ee 80.1%) obtained for the homogeneous catalyst.     

A new strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of 2,2′-bipyrrolidines

A new strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of the 2,2′-bipyrrolidine scaffold is presented using a metathesis reaction followed by asymmetric dihydroxylation for the introduction of the stereogenic elements. This straightforward high-yielding process is suitable for application to the synthesis of additional heterocycles.     

CC Coupling of N‐Heterocycles at the fac‐Re(CO)3 Fragment: Synthesis of Pyridylimidazole and Bipyridine Ligands

A new family of cationic rhenium tricarbonyl complexes with either two N‐alkylimidazole (N‐RIm) and one pyridine (Py) ligand, or two pyridine and one N‐RIm ligand, [Re(CO)₃(N‐RIm)_(3?x)(Py)_x]⁺, has been prepared. The reaction of these complexes with a strong base, followed by an oxidant, selectively afforded 2,2’‐pyridylimidazole complexes as the result of intramolecular dehydrogenative C?C coupling reactions. For tris(pyridine) complexes [Re(CO)₃(Py)₃]⁺ the reaction pattern upon a deprotonation/oxidation sequence is maintained, which allows the generation of complexes with 2,2’‐bipyridine ligands. In the particular combination of two different types of pyridine ligand in the cationic fac‐Re(CO)₃ complexes only the cross‐coupling products with asymmetric 2,2’‐bipyridine ligands were obtained; the homocoupling products were not observed.     

The mass spectrometry of DT-and monosubstituted biphenyls: Dependence of fragmentation patterns on position of substitution

This paper describes the mass spectroscopy of a series of biphenyl derivatives substituted in the 2,2′, 4,4′ and 2 positions. The substitutent functional groups are carbomethoxy, carbothoxy, carboxylic acid and hydroxymethyl. In addition, some results are reported on the spectroscopy of the d₅-carboethoxy derivatives, the 2- and 2,2′-αd₂- hydroxymethyl derivatives and fluorene-4-methanol. The molecular ions of the 4,4′-disubstituted biphenyl derivatives are far more stable than those of the 2,2′ isomers. It is also observed that the fragmentation patterns of these two sets of isomers are sharply different. Paradoxically, the 2-substituted biphenyl derivatives give relatively stable molecular ions and their fragmentation patterns are frequently different from those of the corresponding 2,2′-disubstituted biphenyls. The bulk of the evidence presented in this paper suggests that the usual sort of ‘ortho effect’ is not a significant factor in the fragmentation mechanisms proposed for the 2,2′-disubstituted biphenyl derivatives.     

Recent advancement in the synthesis of 1,2- and 2,1-benzothiazines

1,2- and 2,1-benzothiazines, for example, 1,2-benzothiazine-1,1-dioxides. 2,benzothiazine-2,2-dioxides, 1-alkyl/aryl-1,2-/2,1-benzothiazine-S-oxides, dibenzothiazine and polyheterocycle containing benzothiazine moiety are considered to be one of the privileged heterocyclic scaffolds with huge importances both in synthetic organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry especially in the drug industry. Numerous pioneering methodologies for asymmetric and non-asymmetric scaffold constructions have been developed. Comprehensive visions of different powerful methodologies for the synthesis of these scaffolds have been presented in this review.

The desymmetrization product can be utilized as a versatile chiral building block in asymmetric synthesis of axially chiral 6,6'-disubstituted 2,2'-biphenyldiols.

Vanadium in Asymmetric Synthesis: Emerging Concepts in Catalyst Design and Applications

In recent years vanadium catalysis has been extended to a range of different and even complementary directions in asymmetric synthesis. Inspired by nature’s way to activate both substrate and reagent in many cases, the design of efficient bifunctional and dinuclear vanadium catalysts has been achieved. Furthermore, vanadium catalysis has been an early field in which “hybrid catalysts” have been studied in detail by incorporation of oxovanadium complexes into proteins, thus giving artificial enzymes. In addition, a high compatibility of vanadium with proteins enabled the use of vanadium chemocatalysts for combinations with enzyme catalysis in one‐pot, thus leading to dynamic kinetic resolutions. In this contribution, these three concepts of vanadium catalysis opening up new perspectives for asymmetric synthesis are reviewed.     

Forming All-Carbon Quaternary Stereocenters by Organocatalytic Aminomethylation: Concise Access to β2,2-Amino Acids

The asymmetric synthesis of β^2,2-amino acids remains a formidable challenge in organic synthesis. Here a novel organocatalytic enantioselective aminomethylation of ketenes with stable and readily available N,O-acetals is reported, providing β^2,2-amino esters bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center in high enantiomeric ratios with a catalytic amount of chiral phosphoric acid. Typically, this transformation probably proceeds through an asymmetric counter-anion-directed catalysis. As a result, a concise, practical, and atom-economic protocol toward rapidly access to β^2,2-amino acids has been developed.     

Direct and Asymmetric Aldol Reactions of N-Azidoacetyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione Catalyzed by Chiral Nickel(II) Complexes. A New Approach to the Synthesis of β-Hydroxy-α-Amino Acids

A direct and asymmetric triisopropylsilyltrifluoromethanesulfonate (TIPSOTf) mediated aldol reaction of N-azidoacetyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione with aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by a chiral nickel(II)-Tol-BINAP complex has been developed (BINAP=2,2’-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1’-binaphthyl). The catalytic protocol gives the corresponding anti α-azido-β-silyloxy adducts with outstanding stereocontrol and in high yields. Theoretical calculations account for the stereochemical outcome of the reaction and lay the foundations for a mechanistic model. In turn, the easy removal of the thiazolidinethione yields a wide array of enantiomerically pure derivatives in a straightforward and efficient manner. Such a noteworthy character of the heterocyclic scaffold together with the appropriate manipulation of the azido group open a new route to the synthesis of di- and tripeptide blocks containing a β-aryl-β-hydroxy-α-amino acid.     

Novel chiral biferrocene ligands for palladium-catalyzed allylic substitution reactions

Eleven novel aminophosphine ligands have been synthesized, all of which contain a chiral 2,2' '-bridged biferroceno unit as part of a biferrocenoazepine substructure. The efficiency of these compounds as chiral auxiliaries in palladium-mediated allylic substitution reactions has been investigated. Depending on the degree of (steric) fit between proper ligands and cyclic or noncyclic substrates, reactions with 46-87% ee were achieved. The molecular structure of a palladium dichloride complex of one of the ligands was determined by X-ray diffraction and compared to its binaphthyl analogue. In the solid state, the azepine substructure of these two complexes adopts totally different conformations with either local C(2) (binaphthyl) or local C(1) (biferrocene derivative) symmetry. These structural changes are well-reproduced by empirical force field calculations and are also reflected in significantly different behavior in asymmetric catalysis.     

Properties of excited states and one-electron reduced forms of Ruthenium(II)-diimine photosensitizers

In this paper we compare the spectral, acid-base, electrochemical, and kinetic properties of the excited states and one-electron reduced forms of homo- and heteroleptic Ru(II)-diimine photosensitizers that contain 2,2’-bipyridine, 2,2’-bipyrazine, and 2,2’-bipyrimidine ligands. These species, represented as *(RuIIIL.-)2+ and (RuIIL.-)+, respectively, are orbital analogues in that the intra- or intermolecularly transferred electron resides on the same uniquely reduced ligand. The variations in the properties of these species, resulting from changes in the coordinating ligands, permit the fine-tuning of photochemical systems.     

Cycloisomerization of 1,6-enynes using acetate as a nucleophile under palladium(II) catalysis

[reaction: see text] An efficient method for the synthesis of five-membered carbo- and heterocyclic compounds, including fused rings, was reported using acetate as a nucleophile in the cyclization of 1,6-enynes under palladium(II) catalysis. The reaction is initiated by trans-acetoxypalladation of the alkynes and quenched by either trans- or cis-deacetoxypalladation in the presence of 2,2'-bipyridine as the ligand. An example of the catalytic asymmetric cyclization is presented with moderate enantioselectivity using chiral bisoxazoline ligand.
