Chiral phosphine-phosphoramidite ligands in asymmetric catalysis

Chiral phosphine-phosphoramidite ligands, featuring ready availability, easy modification, and stability towards air and moisture, have recently emerged as a new kind of robust ligands for asymmetric catalysis. They have been found to display wide utilities in various catalytic asymmetric reactions, giving excellent enantioselectivities in the Rh-, Ru-, and Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of C?C, C?O, and C?N double bonds; Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydroformylation; Pd-catalyzed asymmetric hydrophosphorylation; Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation; Ag-catalyzed asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloaddition; and Cu-catalyzed conjugate addition and reduction. In this review, the progress on the development of chiral phosphine-phosphoramidite ligands in asymmetric catalysis has been summarized.     

Brønsted acid activation strategy in transition-metal catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of N-unprotected imines, enamines, and N-heteroaromatic compounds

Asymmetric hydrogenation plays an important role in organic synthesis, but that of the challenging substrates such as N‐unprotected imines, enamines, and N‐heteroaromatic compounds (1H‐indoles, 1H‐pyrroles, pyridines, quinolines, and quinoxalines) has only received increased attention in the past three years. Considering the interaction modes of a Brønsted acid with a Lewis base, Brønsted acids may be used as the ideal activators of C?N bonds. This Minireview summarizes the recent advances in transition‐metal‐catalyzed, Brønsted acid activated asymmetric hydrogenation of these challenging substrates, thus offering a promising substrate activation strategy for transformations involving C?N bonds.     

SpinPhox/Iridium(I)‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Cyclic α‐Alkylidene Carbonyl Compounds

Optically active medium‐sized cyclic carbonyl compounds bearing an α‐chiral carbon center are of interest in pharmaceutical sciences and asymmetric synthesis. Herein, SpinPhox/Ir^I catalysts have been demonstrated to be highly enantioselective in the asymmetric hydrogenation of the CC bonds in the exocyclic α,β‐unsaturated cyclic carbonyls, including a broad range of α‐alkylidene lactams, unsaturated cyclic ketones, and lactones. It is noteworthy that the procedure can be successfully used in the asymmetric hydrogenation of the challenging α‐alkylidenelactam substrates with six‐ or seven‐membered rings, thus affording the corresponding optically active carbonyl compounds with an α‐chiral carbon center in generally excellent enantiomeric excesses (up to 98 % ee). Synthetic utility of the protocol has also been demonstrated in the asymmetric synthesis of the anti‐inflammatory drug loxoprofen and its analogue, as well as biologically important ε‐aminocaproic acid derivatives.     

Recent Advances and Perspectives of Transition Metal‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Fluorination Reactions

The synthesis of fluorine‐containing molecules has received intensive attention in recent years due to the great value of fluorides, however, the transition metal‐catalyzed asymmetric construction of C—F bonds is much less developed. This review presents the recent advancement of transition metal‐catalyzed asymmetric fluorination reactions, in which the final C—F bond is from reductive elimination of organometallic complexes. In addition, the perspective of the field is also provided for the future studies of asymmetric fluorinations and the related transformations, such as trifluoromethylation, trifluoromethylthiolation and trifluoromethoxylation.     

Asymmetric Syntheses with the Aid of Homogeneous Transition Metal Catalysts

The progress made in the field of homogeneous catalysis during the last five to six years has led, inter alia, to the development of highly selective catalysts for asymmetric syntheses. Homogeneous asymmetric hydrogenation, using well defined transition metal catalysts, may be achieved with optical yields of 85 to 90% or more. Catalytic reactions, in which the chiral centers are generated by C? C bond formation, can result in optical yields of 70 to 80%. The hydrogenation catalysts consist primarily of rhodium(I) complexes containing “Homer phosphanes”, phosphanes with chiral C atoms, or optically active amides. Catalysts which induce optical activity through the formation of C? C bonds have been developed from π-allylnickel halides, Lewis acids, and phosphanes containing chiral C atoms. The results obtained signify a breakthrough in an area of catalysis previously restricted to syntheses involving enzymes.     

Transfer hydrogenation of activated C=C bonds catalyzed by ruthenium amido complexes: reaction scope, limitation, and enantioselectivity

[reaction: see text] It was found that the chemoselectivity could be completely switched from C=O to C=C bonds in the transfer hydrogenation of activated alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones catalyzed by diamine-ruthenium complex. Moreover, this addition via metal hydride had been applied to the reduction of various activated olefins. The electron-withdrawing ability of functional groups substituted on C=C bonds at the alpha- or beta-position had strong influence on the reactivity. In addition, a wide variety of chiral diamine-Ru(II)-(arene) systems was investigated to explore the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of prochiral alpha,alpha-dicyanoolefins. Two parameters had been systematically studied, (i) the structure of the N-sulfonylated chiral diamine ligands, in which several chiral diamines substituted on the benzene ring of DPEN were first reported, and (ii) the structure of the metal precursors, and high enantioselectivitiy (up to 89% ee) at the beta-carbon was obtained.     

Copper-Catalyzed Chemoselective Asymmetric Hydrogenation of C=O Bonds of Exocyclic α,β-Unsaturated Pentanones

A highly chemoselective earth-abundant transition metal copper catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of C=O bonds of exocyclic α,β-unsaturated pentanones was realized using H₂. The desired products were obtained with up to 99 % yield and 96 % ee (enantiomeric excess) (99 % ee, after recrystallization). The corresponding chiral exocyclic allylic pentanol products can be converted into several bioactive molecules. The hydrogenation mechanism was investigated via deuterium-labelling experiments and control experiments, which indicate that the keto-enol isomerization rate of the substrate is faster than that of the hydrogenation and also show that the Cu−H complex can only catalyze chemoselectively the asymmetric reduction of the carbonyl group. Computational results indicate that the multiple attractive dispersion interactions (MADI effect) between the catalyst with bulky substituents and substrate play important roles which stabilize the transition states and reduce the generation of by-products.     

Asymmetric Transfer and Pressure Hydrogenation with Earth‐Abundant Transition Metal Catalysts

The asymmetric transfer and pressure hydrogenation of various unsaturated substrates provides a succinct pathway to important chiral intermediates and products such as chiral alcohols, amines, and alkanes. The use of earth‐abundant transition metals such as Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu in hydrogenation reactions provides an attractive alternative to traditionally used metals such as Ru, Rh, Ir, and Pd because they are comparatively inexpensive, less toxic, and as their name suggests, more abundant in nature. Earth‐abundant transition metal‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation is rapidly becoming an important area of research. This review summarizes advances in the asymmetric hydrogenation of unsaturated bonds (ketones, imines, and alkenes) with earth‐abundant transition metals.     

Synthesis of a new class of chiral 1,5-diphosphanylferrocene ligands and their use in enantioselective hydrogenation

A new family of ferrocenylphosphane ligands has been prepared. Their flexible synthesis allows many structural modifications. The asymmetric induction of these ligands was examined in the hydrogenation of functionalized C=C, C=O, and C=N bonds. The enantioselectivity of the reaction was strongly dependent on the substituent R at the position alpha to the ferrocene moiety. In many cases, both enantiomeric beta-hydroxyesters of the reduction product can be obtained by simply replacing a dimethylamino group in the ligand with a methyl group.     

Cobalt‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of C=N Bonds Enabled by Assisted Coordination and Nonbonding Interactions

An efficient cobalt‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of C=N bonds has been realized. Chiral hydrazines were obtained in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (95–98 % ee). The hydrogenation went smoothly at up to 2000 substrate/catalyst and on a gram scale. The success of this reaction relies on the presence of an NHBz group in the substrates, with the reactivity and enantioselectivity improved by an assisted coordination to the cobalt atom and a nonbonding interaction with the ligand. Furthermore, this reaction has practical applications for the synthesis of several useful chiral nitrogen‐containing compounds.
