Grind and cure: Using the nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug naproxen, a novel concept is demonstrated to dramatically enhance the rate of the recently discovered process of deracemization using abrasive grinding. The process relies on a gradual feed of the racemic target material by an in situ conversion.
Dynamic deracemization processes, such as crystallization-induced diastereomer transformations (CIDTs), offer the opportunity to combine racemization and resolution processes, to provide high yields of enantiomerically pure compounds. To date, few of these processes have incorporated photochemical racemization. By combining batch crystallization with a flow photoreactor for efficient irradiation, it is possible to perform such deracemization in an effective, scalable and high yielding manner. After applying design of experiment (DoE) principles and mathematical modelling, the most efficient parameter set could be identified, leading to excellent results in just 4 h reaction time: isolated yield of 82 % and assay ee of 96 %. Such photochemical racemization methods can serve to open new avenues for preparation of enantiomerically pure functional molecules on both small and industrially-relevant scales. 相似文献
A palladium-catalyzed intermolecular dynamic kinetic asymmetric dearomatization of 3-arylindoles with internal alkynes was developed with the use of achiral Xantphos and chiral sulfinamide phosphine ligand ( PC-Phos ) as the co-ligands. This method could deliver various spiro[indene-1,3′-indole] compounds in good yields (up to 95 % yield) with up to 98 % ee. The salient features of the transformation include the use of readily available substrates, ease of scale-up and the versatile functionalization of the products. The mechanistic experiments gave some insights on active intermediates. 相似文献
Phase Transfer Catalysis (PTC) is a powerful tool to perform reactions in a practical fashion, both in laboratory and industrial scale. Significant cost savings and major process improvements can be achieved in reactions performed under PTC conditions. In the last few years remarkable results in stereoselective reactions were achieved using chiral, non-racemic quaternary ammonium salts. Moreover, the use of bulky, chiral phosphate anions paired with achiral cations to generate lipophilic ion pairs allowed to design new avenues for the stereoselective construction of important building blocks. Hydrogen bond interactions were also shown to provide new pathways for asymmetric nucleophilic substitutions using insoluble reagents under PTC conditions. This Review will focus on recent advances in developing practical synthetic routes to construct molecules in a stereoselective fashion under PTC conditions. 相似文献
A C2-symmetrical aryl diphosphite derived from chiral binaphthol was prepared and its rhodium complex was used as catalysts in the asymmetric hydroformylation of olefins. High catalytic activity and good regioselectivity were observed. Up to 31.2% ee and 38.1% ee were achieved for the hydroformylation of 4-fluoro-styrene and vinyl acetate respectively. The influences of ligand-to-metal ratio, reaction temperature and the pressure of syn-gas on the enantioselectivity and regioselectivity were also studied. 相似文献
Summary: The phase behavior of poly(ethylene‐co‐styrene) (PES) and poly(ethylene‐co‐butene) (PEB) blends has been studied. A closed‐loop phase diagram was clearly observed in this weakly interacting system as the styrene content in the PES decreased to about 1 mol‐%. At higher styrene contents, the phase loop starts to interplay with the crystallization transformation at lower temperatures.

The phase diagram of a series of poly(1,2‐octylene oxide)–poly(ethylene oxide) (POO–PEO) diblock copolymers is determined by small‐angle X‐ray scattering. The Flory–Huggins interaction parameter was measured by small‐angle neutron scattering. The phase diagram is highly asymmetric due to large conformational asymmetry that results from the hexyl side chains in the POO block. Non‐lamellar phases (hexagonal and gyroid) are observed near fPEO = 0.5, and the lamellar phase is observed for fPEO ≥ 0.5.
Abstract The synthesis of a new chiral agent, (R,R) (-)N, N'-trans-1, 2-dihexylcyclohexanediamine, for the chromatographic resolution of racemates is reported. Highly selective separations of D- and L-isomers of free and Dns-amino acids were accomplished on a reversed-phase column using in the mobile phase a Cu(II) complex of the above chiral selector. The procedure was extended to resolve diastereomeric derivatives, which were obtained by reaction of an optically active amine with o-phthaldeyde in the presence of N-acetyl-L-cysteine. 相似文献
The first asymmetric reaction catalyzed by chiral spiroborated esters with an O3BN framework was reported. In the presence of 0.1 equivalent of (R,S)-1 or (S,S)-1, acetophenone was reduced by 0.6 equivalent of borane in THF at 0-5℃ for 2 h to give (R)-1-phenylethanol of up to 76% ee and 73% isolated yield. Influence of reaction conditions on the stereoselectivity of the reduction was investigated and a possible catalytic mechanism of the chiral spiroborated esters toward the reduction was also suggested. 相似文献
Chirality arising from isotope substitution, especially with atoms heavier than the hydrogen isotopes, is usually not considered a source of chirality in a chemical reaction. An N2,N2,N3,N3‐tetramethyl‐2,3‐butanediamine containing nitrogen (14N/15N) isotope chirality was synthesized and it was revealed that this isotopically chiral diamine compound acts as a chiral initiator for asymmetric autocatalysis. 相似文献
