Palladium catalyzed Heck-Mizoroki and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions (Review)

This article is about the progress of palladium compounds as a catalyst for Heck-Mizoroki and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions. Industrial catalysts with broad applicability need continuous catalyst development process through modification of ligand design, geometry and functionality. Recently catalysts have been synthesized through attachment of the activated palladium complexes on the surface of polymer support, particularly, insoluble in reaction medium. An appropriate mixture of palladium salt and ligand is also used as an important modification in some cases to get better results. We surveyed the important palladium compounds synthesized up to early 2014 for Heck-Mizoroki and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions and summarize their progress in terms of ligand modification and other associated parameters.

Optimized Scalable Synthesis of Chiral Iridium Pyridyl-Phosphinite (Pyridophos) Catalysts

Iridium catalysts with chiral P,N ligands have greatly enhanced the scope of asymmetric olefin hydrogenation because they do not require a coordinating group near the C=C bond like Rh and Ru catalysts. Pyridophos ligands, possessing a conformationally restricted annulated pyridine framework linked to a phosphinite group, proved to be particularly effective, inducing high enantioselectivities in the hydrogenation of a remarkably broad range of substrates. Here we report the development of an efficient scalable synthesis for the two most versatile Ir-pyridophos catalysts, derived from 2-phenyl-8-hydroxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline or the analogue with a five-membered carbocyclic ring, respectively, by modification and optimization of the original synthetic route. The optimized route renders both catalysts readily accessible in multi-gram quantities in analytically pure form in overall yields of 26–37 %, starting from acetophenone and cyclopentanone or cyclohexanone, respectively. A major advantage of the new synthesis is the efficient and practical kinetic resolution of the late-stage pyridyl alcohol intermediates with commercial immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B, giving access to both enantiomers of these catalysts as essentially enantiopure compounds. The catalysts are obtained as crystalline solids, which are air-stable and can be stored for years at −20 °C without notable decomposition.     

A New Insight into Toxicity of Colchicine Analogues by Molecular Docking Analysis Based on Intestinal Tight Junction Protein ZO-1

Colchicine (COL) is a well-known plant alkaloid long used for medical purposes due to the selective anti-inflammatory effect on acute gouty arthritis. It is also a kind of mitosis toxin with strong inhibitory effects of cell division and is therefore being applied to the treatment of various cancers. However, this product shows a variety of adverse effects that are significantly correlated with the dosage and have attracted much attention. For the first time, the present work obtained a new insight into the gastrointestinal toxicity of colchicine analogues by molecular docking analysis, which was based on the 3D structure of intestinal tight junction protein ZO-1 and the ligand library containing dozens of small-molecule compounds with the basic skeleton of COL and its metabolites. The binding energy and mode of protein–ligand interaction were investigated to better understand the structure–toxicity relationships of COL analogues and the mechanism of action as well. Cluster analysis clearly demonstrated the strong correlation between the binding energy and toxicity of ligand molecules. The interaction mode further revealed that the hydrogen bonding (via the C-7 amide or C-9 carbonyl group) and hydrophobic effect (at ring A or C) were both responsible for ZO-1-related gastrointestinal toxicity of COL analogues, while metabolic transformation via phase I and/or phase II reaction would significantly attenuate the gastrointestinal toxicity of colchicine, indicating an effective detoxication pathway through metabolism.     

Geometry,stability and aromaticity of β-diketiminate-coordinated alkaline-earth compounds

The nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS), anisotropy of the induced current density (AICD), and molecular orbital (MO) analyses demonstrated the non-aromaticity of the β-diketiminate-coordinated Ae compounds. The DFT calculations revealed relatively high isomerization energies (ISE) for β-diketiminatecoordinated Ae compounds, which contribute to their stability.     

Eine Rinde erobert die Welt

The quinine‐containing bark of Cinchona trees was probably the most valuable drug the Americas gave to the world. For centuries it was the only remedy against malaria and still is heavily used for that purpose. The isolation, structure determination and total synthesis of quinine are all chemical masterpieces. Today, Cinchona alkaloids are not only used for the treatment of various diseases but also are very powerful catalysts and auxiliary compounds in the synthesis of pure enantiomers in chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Last but not least, a pinch of quinine bestows tonic water and several classical cocktails that little extra that we enjoy. So Cheers to all drinks containing this wonderful alkaloid, no matter whether stirred or shaken.     

Metathesis for catalyst design: metacatalysis

Prior studies have shown an effective way to produce diverse ligand sets for catalyst discovery is by using mixtures of monodentate forms to generate catalysts in situ. Research described here was performed to illustrate that alkene-functionalized monodentate ligands could be used in this way and in another that increases the diversity of the ligand library in an interesting way. Specifically, we hypothesized that as well as being used as monomers, these alkenes could be cross metathesized in situ immediately before the catalysis step. This combination of metathesis to form ligands in situ, then catalysis is referred to here as metacatalysis. In the event, a library of quinidine and quinine alkaloid-derived phosphites were tested as mixtures of monomers and dimers formed via metathesis in situ. The data obtained illustrated that metacatalysis can be used to identify ligands that positively and negatively modulate enantioselectivities in iridium-mediated hydrogenations of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives, relative to the mixtures of the monomeric forms used.     

Palladium catalysis for the synthesis of hydrophobic C-6 and C-2 aryl 2'-deoxynucleosides. Comparison of C-C versus C-N bond formation as well as C-6 versus C-2 reactivity

Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of haloaromatic compounds with arylboronic acids provides a simple entry to biaryl systems. Despite its ease, to date, there are no detailed investigations of this procedure for deoxynucleoside modification. As shown in this study, a wide variety of C-6 arylpurine 2'-deoxyriboside (C-6 aryl 2'-deoxynebularine analogues) and C-2 aryl 2'-deoxyinosine analogues can be conveniently prepared via the Pd-mediated cross-coupling of arylboronic acids with the C-6 halonucleosides, 6-bromo- or 6-chloro-9[2-deoxy-3,5-bis-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl]purine (1 and 2), and the C-2 halonucleoside, 2-bromo-O(6)-benzyl-3',5'-bis-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-2'-deoxyinosine (3). Although bromonucleoside 1 proved to be a good substrate for the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings, we have noted that for several C-6 arylations, the chloronucleoside 2 provides superior coupling yields. Also described in this study is a detailed evaluation of catalytic systems that led to optimal product recoveries. Finally, a comparison of the C-C and C-N bond-forming reactions of deoxynucleosides is also reported. On the basis of this comparison, we provide evidence that C-N bond formation at the C-6 position, leading to N-aryl 2'-deoxyadenosine analogues, is more sensitive to the ligand used, whereas C-C bond-forming reactions at the same position are not. In contrast to the ligand dependency exhibited in C-N bond formation at the C-6 position, comparable reactions at the C-2 position of purine deoxynucleosides proceed with less sensitivity to the ligand used.     

Can substituted allenes be highly efficient leaving groups in catalytic processes? A computational investigation

There is considerable interest presently in the chemistry of allenes. The current computational investigation looks into the possibility of using allenes and their derivatives as leaving groups. As it is well known, leaving groups are significant in catalytic processes for generating the active site. A full quantum mechanical study using density functional theory shows that allenes and their derivatives can function as excellent leaving groups. Indeed, the calculations show that they can be several orders of magnitude more effective than existing ligands for this purpose. The modification of second generation Grubbs' catalysts with these ligands suggests that the allene ligand cases that would be most effective are those having electron withdrawing groups, especially those that have the potential for supramolecular interactions between the substituent groups in the free state. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
