Lentinus strigellus: a new versatile stereoselective biocatalyst for the bioreduction of prochiral ketones

Growing cells of the basiodiomycete Lentinus strigellus in potato-dextrose broth have been used for the first time as a biocatalyst in the stereoselective reduction of aromatic and aliphatic ketones. Most of the aromatic ketones were converted into the corresponding optically active alcohols in up to >99% enantiomeric excess under very mild reaction conditions. Among the aliphatic ketones tested, 2-octanone was enzymatically reduced by this microorganism to enantiopure (S)-2-octanol with almost complete conversion.     

Indium-mediated asymmetric Barbier-type propargylations: additions to aldehydes and ketones and mechanistic investigation of the organoindium reagents

We report a simple, efficient, and general method for the indium-mediated enantioselective propargylation of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes under Barbier-type conditions in a one-pot synthesis affording the corresponding chiral alcohol products in very good yield (up to 90%) and enantiomeric excess (up to 95%). The extension of this methodology to ketones demonstrated the need for electrophilic ketones more reactive than acetophenone as the reaction would not proceed with just acetophenone. Using the Lewis acid indium triflate [In(OTf)(3)] induced regioselective formation of the corresponding homoallenic alcohol product from acetophenone. However, this methodology demonstrated excellent chemoselectivity in formation of only the corresponding secondary homopropargylic alcohol product in the presence of a ketone functionality. Investigation of the organoindium intermediates under our reaction conditions shows the formation of allenylindium species, and we suggest that these species contain an indium(III) center. In addition, we have observed the presence of a shiny, indium(0) nugget throughout the reaction, irrespective of the stoichiometry, indicating disproportionation of indium halide byproduct formed during the reaction.     

Asymmetric reductions using the chiral boronic ester TarB-H: a practical and inexpensive procedure for synthesizing chiral alcohols

Chiral alcohols are prepared in high enantiomeric excesses using an inexpensive and easily synthesized tartaric acid derived boronic ester (TarB-H) with sodium borohydride. The phenylboronic acid could be recovered quantitatively using a simple extraction with sodium hydroxide and diethyl ether. The optimized TarB-H system was used to reduce aromatic and aliphatic ketones in an open flask to chiral alcohols with enantiomeric excesses up to 99%.     

Synthetic scope and mechanistic studies of Ru(OH)x/Al2O3-catalyzed heterogeneous hydrogen-transfer reactions

Three kinds of hydrogen-transfer reactions, namely racemization of chiral secondary alcohols, reduction of carbonyl compounds to alcohols using 2-propanol as a hydrogen donor, and isomerization of allylic alcohols to saturated ketones, are efficiently promoted by the easily prepared and inexpensive supported ruthenium catalyst Ru(OH)x/Al2O3. A wide variety of substrates, such as aromatic, aliphatic, and heterocyclic alcohols or carbonyl compounds, can be converted into the desired products, under anaerobic conditions, in moderate to excellent yields and without the need for additives such as bases. A larger scale, solvent-free reaction is also demonstrated: the isomerization of 1-octen-3-ol with a substrate/catalyst ratio of 20,000/1 shows a very high turnover frequency (TOF) of 18,400 h(-1), with a turnover number (TON) that reaches 17,200. The catalysis for these reactions is intrinsically heterogeneous in nature, and the Ru(OH)x/Al2O3 recovered after the reactions can be reused without appreciable loss of catalytic performance. The reaction mechanism of the present Ru(OH)x/Al2O3-catalyzed hydrogen-transfer reactions were examined with monodeuterated substrates. After the racemization of (S)-1-deuterio-1-phenylethanol in the presence of acetophenone was complete, the deuterium content at the alpha-position of the corresponding racemic alcohol was 91%, whereas no deuterium was incorporated into the alpha-position during the racemization of (S)-1-phenylethanol-OD. These results show that direct carbon-to-carbon hydrogen transfer occurs via a metal monohydride for the racemization of chiral secondary alcohols and reduction of carbonyl compounds to alcohols. For the isomerization, the alpha-deuterium of 3-deuterio-1-octen-3-ol was selectively relocated at the beta-position of the corresponding ketones (99% D at the beta-position), suggesting the involvement of a 1,4-addition of ruthenium monohydride species to the alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone intermediate. The ruthenium monohydride species and the alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone would be formed through alcoholate formation/beta-elimination. Kinetic studies and kinetic isotope effects show that the Ru-H bond cleavage (hydride transfer) is included in the rate-determining step.     

Enantioselective Alkynylation of Ketones Promoted by β-Sulfonamide Alcohol-Titanium Complexes

A readily available β-sulfonamide alcohol-titanium complex was found to be effective on promoting the asymmetric addition reaction of an alkynylzinc reagent to unactivated simple ketones under very mild conditions. And the corresponding chiral tertiary propargylic alcohols were obtained with enantiomeric excesses of up to 86%, which provided a simple, practical and inexpensive method to generate chiral tertiary propargylic alcohols.     

Extractive biocatalysis in the asymmetric reduction of α-alkyl, β-aryl enones by Baker’s yeast

We prepared various chiral α-alkyl, β-aryl ketones with good to excellent enantiomeric excess through the Baker’s yeast asymmetric double-bond reduction of the corresponding α,β-unsaturated substrates adsorbed onto the resin Amberlite XAD-7. This methodology was compatible with substrates bearing both electron-donating and withdrawing groups attached to the aromatic ring. Elongation of the α-alkyl substituent of the starting material strongly affected the reactivity and enantioselectivity of the reaction.     

Direct synthesis of B-allyl and B-allenyldiisopinocampheylborane reagents using allyl or propargyl halides and indium metal under Barbier-type conditions

We report the first one-pot process for the asymmetric addition of allyl, methallyl, and propargyl groups to aldehydes and ketones using B-chlorodiisopinocampheylborane ((d)DIP-Cl) and indium metal. Under Barbier-type conditions, indium metal was used to generate allyl- and allenylindium intermediates, and subsequent reaction with (d)DIP-Cl successfully promoted the transfer of these groups to boron forming the corresponding chiral borane reagents. The newly formed borane reagents were reacted with aldehydes and ketones to produce the corresponding alcohol products in high yields and up to excellent enantioselectivity (98% ee). This method produced excellent enantioenriched secondary homoallylic alcohols from the allylation and methallylation of benzaldehyde. Using this method, the methallylation and cinnamylation of ketones afforded the highest enantioselectivities, while the propargylation of both aldehydes and ketones provided low enantiomeric excesses. In addition, this procedure provided the first synthesis of B-allenyldiisopinocampheylborane, which was characterized by (1)H and (11)B NMR spectroscopy. This is the first example of the direct synthesis of allylboranes that contained substitutions from the corresponding allyl bromide and indium, thereby expanding the utility of the DIP-Cl reagent. Hence, a general and straightforward route to these chiral organoborane reagents in one-pot has been developed along with the asymmetric Barbier-type allylation and propargylation of aldehyde and ketone substrates using these chiral organoborane reagents in subsequent coupling reactions.     

Synthesis of N-Squaramidoacids and Their Application in Asymmetric Borane Reduction of Prochiral Ketones

A series of novel N-squaramidoacid ligands were prepared conveniently. Without converting to corresponding amino alcohols, these ligands could be used in asymmetric borane reduction of prochiral aromatic ketones to give secondary alcohols in good to excellent enantiomeric excesses. The results showed that N-squaramidoacids are more efficient ligands than N-sulfonyl amino acids. N-Squaryl proline was proved to be an excellent ligand in this catalytic asymmetric process.
