Quantum chemical study on enantioselective reduction of aromatic ketones catalyzed by chiral cyclic sulfur‐containing oxazaborolidines. Part 3. Structures of catalyst–alkoxyborane adducts

The chiral cyclic sulfur‐containing oxazaborolidine catalyst reacts with aromatic ketone in the presence of borane to form the catalyst–alkoxyborane adduct with a B‐O‐B‐N four‐membered ring. The ab initio molecular orbital method is employed to study the structures of the catalyst–alkoxyborane adduct. All the calculated systems are optimized completely by means of the Hartree–Fock method at 6‐31g* basis sets. The B‐O‐B‐N four‐membered ring is stable, although there is strong tensile stress in the four‐membered ring. The catalyst–alkoxyborane adduct exists in four stable structures. Among these structures, the largest energy difference is only about 4 kJ/mol. In the catalyst–alkoxyborane adduct, the B(2) N(3) bond in the catalyst is weakened greatly. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Quant Chem 78: 261–268, 2000

Quantum chemical study on enantioselective reduction of keto oxime ether with borane catalyzed by oxazaborolidine. Part 2. Structures of catalyst‐alkoxyborane adduct with a four‐membered ring and succeeding reaction intermediates

Quantum chemical ab initio computations of the structures and properties of oxazaborolidine‐alkoxyborane adduct with a B? N? B? O four‐membered ring and succeeding reaction intermediates are carried out in the current work by means of the Hartree–Fock (HF) and the density functional methods. All the structures are optimized completely at the HF/6‐31G(d) and Becke's three‐parameter exchange functional and the gradient‐corrected functional of Lee, Yang, and Paar (B3LYP)/6‐31G(d) levels. As shown in the obtained results, the oxazaborolidine‐alkoxyborane adduct with a B? N? B? O four‐membered ring may be formed during the reduction of the carbonyl bond of the catalyst‐borane‐keto oxime ether adduct. The breakdown of the B? N? B? O four‐membered ring results in the formation of the adduct with a B? N? B? O? C? C? N seven‐membered ring and an oxime bond. The reduction of the oxime bond leads to the adduct with a chiral oxime carbon. The B(2)? N_{C? N} bond in the B? N? B? O? C? C? N seven‐membered ring of the adduct with a reduced oxime bond is weaker comparatively and thus may be more easily broken down. All the adducts have four stable structures. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem 93: 294–306, 2003     

Ab inito Study on Enantioselective Reduction of Ketones Catalyzed by Thiazolidino[3,4—c]oxazaborolidines

The ab initio molecular orbital method is employed to study the enantioselective reduction of acetophenone with borane catalyzed by thiszolidino[3,4-c]oxazaborolidine.Computation result shows that the controlling step for the reduction is the decomposition of the catalyst-alkoxyborane adduct and the reduction leads to S-alcohols.The transition atate of the hydride transfer from the borane moiety to the carbonyl carbon of acetophenone is a twisted chair structure with a B(2)-N(3)-BBH3-HBH3-CCo-OCO6-membered ring.     

Quantum chemical study on enantioselective reduction of aromatic ketones catalyzed by chiral cyclic sulfur‐containing oxazaborolidines. Part 2. Structures of catalyst–borane–ketone adducts

In the present paper, the ab initio molecular orbital method is employed to study the structures of the adducts of borane and aromatic ketone to chiral cyclic sulfur‐containing oxazaborolidine used as a catalyst in the enantioselective reduction of aromatic ketone. The catalyst–borane–ketone adducts have four different structures. All the structures are optimized completely by means of the Hartree–Fock method at 6‐31g* basis sets. The structure which is of the greatest advantage to a hydride transfer from the borane moiety to the carbonyl carbon of aromatic ketone is the one with the next lowest formation energy, and the plausible transition state for the hydride transfer is predicted to be of a twisted boat structure. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Quantum chemical study on enantioselective reduction of aromatic ketones catalyzed by chiral cyclic sulfur‐containing oxazaborolidines. Part 1. Structures and properties of catalysts

The ab initio molecular orbital method is employed to study the structures and properties of chiral cyclic sulfur‐containing oxazaborolidine, as a catalyst, and its borane adducts. All the structures are optimized completely by means of the Hartree–Fock method at 6‐31g* basis sets. The catalyst is a twisted chair structure and reacts with borane to form four plausible catalyst–borane adducts. Borane–sulfur adducts may be formed, but they barely react with aromatic ketone to form catalyst–borane–ketone adducts, because they are repulsed greatly by the atoms arising from the chair rear of the catalyst with a twisted chair structure. Borane–N adduct has the largest formation energy and is predicted to react easily with aromatic ketone to form catalyst–borane–ketone adducts. The formation of the catalyst–borane adducts causes the B_BH3 H_BH3 bond lengths of the BH₃ moiety to be increased and thus enhances the activity of the enantioselective catalytic reduction. The borane–N adduct is of great advantage to hydride transfer. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Quant Chem 78: 245–251, 2000     

Quantum chemical study on enantioselective reduction of keto oxime ether with borane catalyzed by oxazaborolidine. Part 1. Structures of catalyst–borane–keto oxime ether adducts

In the present work, quantum chemical computations of the enantioselective reduction of keto oxime ether with borane catalyzed by chiral oxazaborolidine are performed by means of the Hartree–Fock and the density functional methods. The structures of oxazaborolidine, oxazaborolidine–borane adduct, and oxazaborolidine–borane–keto oxime ether adducts are optimized completely at the HF/6‐31g* and B3LYP/6‐31g* levels and their properties studied in detail. The oxazaborolidine catalyst is a twisted chair structure and reacts with borane at the nitrogen site of the catalyst to form the catalyst–borane adduct whose formation reaction is exothermic. The catalyst–borane adduct reacts easily with keto oxime ether to form catalyst–borane–keto oxime ether adducts that have eight stable structures. The coordination of the carbonyl oxygen in keto oxime ether at the boron site of the catalyst is of more advantage to the enantioselective reduction of keto oxime ether than the coordination of the oxime nitrogen in the keto oxime ether at the boron site is. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Quantum chemical study on enantioselective reduction of keto oxime ether with borane catalyzed by oxazaborolidine. Part 3. Properties of intermediates during hydride transfer

In the current article, the structures and properties of intermediates during the hydride transfer for the prior coordination of the carbonyl oxygen of keto oxime ether at B(2) of oxazaborolidine are discussed. All the structures are optimized completely by means of the Hartree–Fock (HF) and the density functional methods at the HF/6‐31G(d) and Becke's three‐parameter exchange functional and the gradient‐corrected functional of Lee, Yang, and Paar (B3LYP)/6‐31G(d) levels. The hydride transfer from BH₃ to the carbonyl carbon in oxazaborolidine‐borane‐keto oxime ether adduct results in the formation of the adduct 4a* with a seven‐membered ring. This adduct has four stable structures. Another hydride of BH₂ transfers to the oxime carbon in 4a* , leading to the adduct 5a* , which has also four stable structures. Among all the structures of 5a* , the most stable structure can generate (1S, 2R)‐cis amino alcohol, which is in agreement with that obtained in the experiment. This enantioselective reduction may go through the process in which oxazaborolidine‐borane‐keto oxime ether adduct is directly transformed into the adduct 4a* with a seven‐membered ring. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Quantum chemical study on the mechanism of enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones catalyzed by oxazaborolidines

The ab initio molecular orbital study on the mechanism of enantioselective reduction of 3,3-dimethyl butanone-2 with borane catalyzed by chiral oxazaborolidine is performed. As illustrated, this enantioselective reduction is exothermic and goes mainly through the formations of the catalyst-borane adduct, the catalyst-borane-3,3-dimethyl butanone-2 adduct, and the cata-lyst-alkoxyborane adduct with a B-O-B-N 4-member ring and through the decomposition of the catalyst-alkoxyborane adduct with the regeneration of the catalyst. During the hydride transfer in the catalyst-borane-3,3-dimethyl butanone-2 adduct to form the catalyst-alkoxyborane adduct, the hydride transfer and the formation of the B-O-B-N 4-member ring in the catalyst-alkoxyborane adduct happen simultaneously. The controlling step for the reduction is the transfer of hydride from the borane moiety to the carbonyl carbon of 3,3-dimethyl butanone-2. The transition state for the hydride transfer is a twisted chair structure and the reduction leads to     

Effect of the Secondary Reduction on the Enantioselectivity and Function of Additives in the Chiral Oxazaborolidine‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Borane Reduction of Ketones

The secondary reduction in the direct and oxazaborolidine‐catalyzed asymmetric borane reduction of ketones was investigated by the use of GC/MS tracing titration and control experiments. The results indicate that the secondary reduction affects the enantioselectivity only in noncoordinated solvents at low temperature and not under the usual catalytic reduction conditions because the intermediate alkoxyborane is unstable and quickly converts to borane and dialkoxyborane. The function of an alcohol additive in the asymmetric borane reduction of ketones is to consume excess borane in the reduction system thus inhibiting noncatalytic reduction, which leads to increased enantioselectivity in the catalytic reduction.
