Exploiting the Multidentate Nature of Chiral Disulfonimides in a Multicomponent Reaction for the Asymmetric Synthesis of Pyrrolo[1,2‐a]indoles: A Remarkable Case of Enantioinversion

A new multicomponent coupling reaction for the enantioselective synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2‐a]indoles under the catalysis of a chiral disulfonimide is described. The high specificity of the reaction is a consequence of the multidentate character of the Brønsted acid catalyst. Insights from DFT calculations helped explain the unexpected high enantioselectivity observed with the simplest 3,3′‐unsubstituted binaphthyl catalyst as a result of transition‐state stabilization by a network of cooperative noncovalent interactions. The remarkable enantioinversion resulting from the simple introduction of substituents at 3‐ and 3′‐positions, the first reported example of this phenomenon in the context of binaphthalene‐derived Brønsted acid catalysis, was instead attributed to destabilizing steric interactions.     

Mechanism and Origin of Stereoselectivity in Chiral Phosphoric Acid-Catalyzed Aldol-Type Reactions of Azlactones with Vinyl Ethers

The precise mechanism of the chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed aldol-type reaction of azlactones with vinyl ethers was investigated. DFT calculations suggested that the reaction proceeds through a Conia-ene-type transition state consisting of the vinyl ether and the enol tautomer of the azlactone, in which the catalyst protonates the nitrogen atom of the azlactone to promote enol tautomerization. In addition, the phosphoryl oxygen of the catalyst interacts with the vinyl proton of the vinyl ether. The favorable transition structure features dicoordinating hydrogen bonds. However, these hydrogen bonds are not involved in the bond recombination sequence and hence the catalyst functions as a template for binding substrates. From the results of theoretical studies and experimental supports, the high enantioselectivity is induced by the steric repulsion between the azlactone substituent and the binaphthyl backbone of the catalyst under the catalyst template effect.     

Chiral Phosphoric Acid Dual-Function Catalysis: Asymmetric Allylation with α-Vinyl Allylboron Reagents

We report a dual function asymmetric catalysis by a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst that controls both enantioselective addition of an achiral α-vinyl allylboronate to aldehydes and pseudo-axial orientation of the α-vinyl group in the transition state. The reaction produces dienyl homoallylic alcohols with high Z-selectivities and enantioselectivities. Computational studies revealed that minimization of steric interactions between the alkyl groups of the diol on boron and the chiral phosphoric acid catalyst influence the orientation of α-vinyl substituent of the allylboronate reagent to occupy a pseudo-axial position in the transition state.     

Rapid Synthesis of Chiral 1,2‐Bisphosphine Derivatives through Copper(I)‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Conjugate Hydrophosphination

1,2‐Bisphosphines have been identified as one class of important and powerful chiral ligands in asymmetric catalysis with transition metals. Herein, a copper(I)‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrophosphination of α,β‐unsaturated phosphine sulfides was developed with the assistance of “soft–soft” interaction between copper(I)‐catalyst and the phosphine sulfide moiety, which afforded 1,2‐bisphosphine derivatives with diversified electronic nature and steric hindrance in high to excellent yields with high to excellent enantioselectivity. Moreover, the challenging catalytic asymmetric hydrophosphination/protonation reaction was achieved with excellent enantioselectivity. Strikingly, the dynamic kinetic resolution of racemic diarylphosphines was also successfully carried out with high to excellent diastereo‐ and enantioselectivities. Interestingly, the nucleophilic copper(I)‐diphenylphosphide species was characterized by ³¹P NMR spectrum and mass spectrum. At last, three products were transformed to chiral 1,2‐bisphosphines, which were employed as ligands in Rh‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α‐amino‐α,β‐unsaturated ester. The α‐amino acid derivative was produced in high enantioselectivity, which demonstrated the utility of the present methodology.     

Amino acid catalyzed direct asymmetric aldol reactions: a bioorganic approach to catalytic asymmetric carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions.

Direct asymmetric catalytic aldol reactions have been successfully performed using aldehydes and unmodified ketones together with commercially available chiral cyclic secondary amines as catalysts. Structure-based catalyst screening identified L-proline and 5,5-dimethyl thiazolidinium-4-carboxylate (DMTC) as the most powerful amino acid catalysts for the reaction of both acyclic and cyclic ketones as aldol donors with aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes to afford the corresponding aldol products with high regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivities. Reactions employing hydroxyacetone as an aldol donor provide anti-1,2-diols as the major product with ee values up to >99%. The reactions are assumed to proceed via a metal-free Zimmerman-Traxler-type transition state and involve an enamine intermediate. The observed stereochemistry of the products is in accordance with the proposed transition state. Further supporting evidence is provided by the lack of nonlinear effects. The reactions tolerate a small amount of water (<4 vol %), do not require inert reaction conditions and preformed enolate equivalents, and can be conveniently performed at room temperature in various solvents. In addition, reaction conditions that facilitate catalyst recovery as well as immobilization are described. Finally, mechanistically related addition reactions such as ketone additions to imines (Mannich-type reactions) and to nitro-olefins and alpha,beta-unsaturated diesters (Michael-type reactions) have also been developed.     

Practical Large-Scale Preparation of (R)-Rolipram Using Chiral Nickel Catalyst

Antidepressant drug (R)-rolipram was readily prepared on a large scale from isovanilline via a succinct route. The key reaction was carried out using a 1 mol% loading of nickel(II)-bis[(S,S)-N,N′-dibenzylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine]Br₂ complex as the catalyst. The ee% could reach to 99%, and the catalyst could be recovered and used in the next reaction cycle with high ee%.     

New Chiral Calixsalen Chromium Complexes: Recyclable Asymmetric Catalysts

A chiral N,N′‐bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine (salen) polymer has been prepared by a condensation reaction between a thiophenedisalicyladehyde derivative and (S,S)‐cyclohexane‐1,2‐diamine. This polymeric compound was demonstrated to possess a cyclic structure with two to five repetitive units. The addition of chromium(II) salts led to the generation of a chiral catalyst that could be recovered as an insoluble powder. The performance of this new calixsalen‐type catalyst was examined in various transformations, particularly in its ability to promote nucleophilic epoxide ring opening under heterogeneous conditions. The target products were obtained in high yields and with improved selectivity compared with those obtained by using analogous linear polymers. The arrangement of the catalytic sites in the cyclic structure is probably more suitable for the necessary cooperative bimetallic pathway of this demanding reaction. The catalyst could be successfully recycled. This approach represents the first use of calixsalen complexes under heterogeneous catalytic conditions.     

Chiral Phosphoric Acid Dual‐Function Catalysis: Asymmetric Allylation with α‐Vinyl Allylboron Reagents

We report a dual function asymmetric catalysis by a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst that controls both enantioselective addition of an achiral α‐vinyl allylboronate to aldehydes and pseudo‐axial orientation of the α‐vinyl group in the transition state. The reaction produces dienyl homoallylic alcohols with high Z‐selectivities and enantioselectivities. Computational studies revealed that minimization of steric interactions between the alkyl groups of the diol on boron and the chiral phosphoric acid catalyst influence the orientation of α‐vinyl substituent of the allylboronate reagent to occupy a pseudo‐axial position in the transition state.     

Enantioselective syntheses of (E)-γ,δ-disubstituted homoallylic alcohols via BF3·OEt2-catalyzed aldehyde allylboration and analysis of the origin of E-selectivity: A1,2 allylic strain vs. syn-pentane interaction

Enantioselective allylboration of aldehydes with α-substituted β-methyl allylboronate was reported. By using BF₃·OEt₂ as the catalyst, γ,δ-disubstituted homoallylic alcohols were obtained in good yields with high E-selectivities and enantioselectivities. Transition state analysis revealed that the disfavored transition state suffers from a syn-pentane interaction between the BF₃ catalyst and axially oriented α-substituent of the allylboron reagent. Such a syn-pentane interaction is severe enough to overcome the A^1,2 allylic strain between the β-methyl group and the α-substituent of the boron reagent that is present in the favored competing transition state. Consequently, the reaction proceeded with equatorial placement of the α-substituent to furnish γ-methyl substituted homoallylic alcohols with high E-selectivity.     

Synthesis of Novel Polymers with a Chiral 1,2-Diamine Moiety by Polycondensation and their Application to Catalyst for Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Aromatic Ketones

Summary: Novel polymers with chiral 1,2-diamine moiety were successfully synthesized by polycondensation of N-Boc protected enantiopure 1,2-diamine bearing two phenol groups ( S , S )-4 , bisphenol derivatives, and dibromides, followed by deprotection of N-Boc moiety. Hydrogenation of acetophenone was performed with use of polymeric catalyst system prepared from the polymer-supported chiral 1,2-diamine and RuCl₂/(S)-BINAP. The reaction proceeded smoothly even in 2-propanol to give 1-phenylethanol in quantitative yield with high level of enantioselectivity. Furthermore, various other aromatic ketones could be asymmetrically hydrogenated by the polymeric catalyst system.
