Enantioselective Carbonyl Catalysis Enabled by Chiral Aldehydes

Organocatalytic methods have achieved spectacular advancements for the preparation of chiral molecules in highly enantioenriched forms. The fast development of this field can mainly be attributed to the evolution of general and reliable activation modes. The discovery and identification of new activation modes are therefore highly desirable to push the boundaries of asymmetric reactions. In this Minireview, recent advances in enantioselective carbonyl catalysis, one useful subbranch of organocatalysis for the efficient activation of simple amines, will be summarized. With elegantly designed chiral aldehyde catalysts, highly enantioselective and efficient asymmetric reactions can be developed. Continued development of enantioselective carbonyl catalysis is expected in the future.     

Redox Isomerization/(3+2) Allenoate Annulation by Auto-Tandem Phosphine Catalysis

A phosphine-catalyzed approach to pyrrolines has been developed that involves two mechanistically unlinked catalytic processes. The first involves the redox isomerization of amino crotonates to provide access to aliphatic tosyl imines, which then engage in a (3+2) annulation with various allenoates. The reaction shows generality, with 24 examples established, along with a low yielding and moderately enantioselective variant. Mechanistic studies indicate that the viability of the process is linked to the selection of catalysts with similar propensity to add to the two coupling partners.     

Decarboxylative [4+2] Cycloaddition by Synergistic Palladium and Organocatalysis

A novel reaction based on synergistic catalysis, combining palladium‐ and organocatalysis has been developed. The palladium catalyst activates vinyl benzoxazinanones via a decarboxylation to undergo a [4+2] cycloaddition with iminium‐ion activated α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes. The reaction is demonstrated to proceed for a number of combinations of vinyl benzoxazinanones reacting with α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes, providing highly substituted vinyl tetrahydroquinolines in good to high yields, and excellent enantio‐ and diastereoselectivities (>98 % ee and >20:1 d.r.). The palladium catalyst used in the synergistic catalysis can be re‐used in a one‐pot sequential coupling reaction with an aromatic boronic acid forming the coupling product in 95 % yield, >20:1 d.r. and 99 % ee.     

Methylation of cyclodextrins by phase-transfer catalysis

A new, simple method has been developed for the methylation of cyclodextrins. The reaction proceeds in the heterogeneous phase with dimethyl sulphate, using a solvent in which the original cyclodextrins and the bases used are poorly soluble or insoluble. However, in the presence of phase transfer catalysts, methylation proceeds with good yields. The products are mixtures of randomly methylated cyclodextrins (RAMEB), containing 60–70% of heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (DIMEB), 10–15% of heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (TRIMEB) and some monomethylated isomers. These methylated products have proved to be excellent detergents; e.g., they are able to significantly increase the water solubility of hydrocortisone, methyltesterone, etc. On repeating methylation twice, the amount of TRIMEB increases, and a pure product (28% yield) can be obtained by crystallisation.Proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium on Cyclodextrins (Ed.

Rapid ketone transfer hydrogenation by employing simple, in situ prepared iridium(I) precatalysts supported by "non-N--H" P,N ligands

The catalytic utility in ketone transfer hydrogenation (TH) of the preformed complexes [Ir(cod)(kappa(2)-2-NMe(2)-3-PiPr(2)-indene)](+)X(-) ([2 a](+)X(-); X: PF(6), BF(4), and OTf; cod: eta(4)-1,5-cyclooctadiene; OTf: trifluoromethanesulfonate), [Ir(cod)(kappa(2)-1-PiPr(2)-2-NMe(2)-indene)](+)OTf(-) ([2 b](+)OTf(-)), [Ir(cod)(kappa(2)-2-NMe(2)-3-PiPr(2)-indenide)] (3), and [Ir(cod)(kappa(2)-o-tBu(2)P-C(6)H(4)-NMe(2))](+)PF(6) (-) ([4](+)PF(6) (-)), as well as of related mixtures prepared from [{IrCl(cod)}(2)] and various P,N-substituted indene or phenylene ligands, was examined. Whereas [2 a](+)X(-), [2 b](+)OTf(-), 3, and related in situ prepared Ir catalysts derived from P,N-indenes proved to be generally effective in mediating the reduction of acetophenone to 1-phenylethanol in basic iPrOH at reflux (0.1 mol % Ir; 81-99 % conversion) in a preliminary catalytic survey, the structurally related Ir catalysts prepared from (o-R(2)P-C(6)H(4))NMe(2) (R: Ph, iPr, or tBu) were observed to outperform the corresponding P,N-indene ligands under similar conditions. In the course of such studies, it was observed that alteration of the substituents at the donor fragments of the supporting P,N ligand had a pronounced influence on the catalytic performance of the derived catalysts, with ligands featuring bulky dialkylphosphino donors proving to be the most effective. Notably, the crystallographically characterized complex [4](+)PF(6) (-), either preformed or prepared in situ from a mixture of [{IrCl(cod)}(2)], NaPF(6), and (o-tBu(2)P-C(6)H(4))NMe(2), proved to be highly effective in mediating the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (TH) of ketones in basic iPrOH, with near quantitative conversions for a range of alkyl and/or aryl ketones and with very high turnover-frequency values (up to 230 000 h(-1) at >50 % conversion); this thereby enabled the use of Ir loadings ranging from 0.1 to 0.004 mol %. Catalyst mixtures prepared from [{IrCl(cod)}(2)], NaPF(6), and the chiral (alphaS,alphaS)-1,1'-bis[alpha-(dimethylamino)benzyl]-(R,R)-2,2'-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ferrocene (Cy-Mandyphos) ligand proved capable of mediating the asymmetric TH of aryl alkyl ketones, including that of the hindered substrate 2,2-dimethylpropiophenone with an efficiency (0.5 mol % Ir; 95 % conversion, 95 % ee) not documented previously in TH chemistry.     

Chemoluminescence in the oxidation of Na2S by oxygen in water solutions

Chemiluminescence was observed in the the oxidation of Na₂S by oxygen in aqueous solution. One of the luminescence emitters was identified as the triplet state (SO₂) (_max = 420 nm) generated without participation of free radicals at the first stage of oxidation of Na₂S to Na₂S₂O₃. Oxygen is a necessary reagent for CL and isa quenching agent. CL was shown to increase in the presence of Ru(bpy)₃Cl₂ as a result of the transfer of energy from (SO₂) to form Ru(bpy)₃ ²⁺, which emits at _max = 593 nm.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk Seriya Khimicheskaya, No, 7, pp 1864–1865, July, 1996.     

Synthesis and Catalytic Reactions of Nanoparticles formed by Electrospray Ionization of Coinage Metals

Noble metals can be ionized by electrochemical corrosion and transported by electrospray ionization. Mass spectrometry (MS) showed solvated metal ions as the main ionic constituent of the sprayed droplets. Collection of the electrospray plume on a surface yielded noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) under ambient conditions. The NPs were characterized by several techniques. Under typical conditions, capped‐nanoparticle sizes averaged 2.2 nm for gold and 6.5 nm for silver. The gold nanoparticles showed high catalytic activity in the reduction of p‐nitrophenol by NaBH₄. Efficient catalysis was also observed by simply directing the spray of solvated Au⁺ onto the surface of an aqueous p‐nitrophenol/NaBH₄ mixture. Organometallic ions were generated by spiking ligands into the spray solvent: for example, Cu^I bipyridine cations dominated the spray during Cu electrocorrosion in acetonitrile containing bipyridine. This organometallic reagent was shown to be effective in the radical polymerization of styrene.     

Solution pH: A Selectivity Switch in Aqueous Organometallic Catalysis—Hydrogenation of Unsaturated Aldehydes Catalyzed by Sulfonatophenylphosphane–Ru Complexes

The equilibribrium distribution of water-soluble ruthenium hydrides [HRuCl(tppms)₃] and [H₂Ru(tppms)₄] (tppms = (3-sulfonatophenyl)diphenylphosphane) in the reaction with H₂ is governed by the pH value. As a consequence, the selectivity in the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde for reaction at C=C or C=O can be completely inverted by changing the pH value (see drawing below).

Synthesis of Chiral Tertiary Boronic Esters by Oxime‐Directed Catalytic Asymmetric Hydroboration

Chiral boronic esters are useful intermediates in asymmetric synthesis. We have previously shown that carbonyl‐directed catalytic asymmetric hydroboration (CAHB) is an efficient approach to the synthesis of functionalized primary and secondary chiral boronic esters. We now report that the oxime‐directed CAHB of alkyl‐substituted methylidene and trisubstituted alkene substrates by pinacolborane (pinBH) affords oxime‐containing chiral tertiary boronic esters with yields up to 87 % and enantiomeric ratios up to 96:4 e.r. The utility of the method is demonstrated by the formation of chiral diols and O‐substituted hydroxylamines, the generation of quaternary carbon stereocenters through carbon–carbon coupling reactions, and the preparation of chiral 3,4,4‐trisubstituted isoxazolines.
