An efficient Stille cross-coupling reaction catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2/DAB-Cy catalytic system

An efficient palladium-catalyzed Stille cross-coupling reaction has been developed. In the presence of 3 mol% of Pd(dba)₂ and 6 mol% of DAB-Cy (1,4-dicyclohexyl-diazabutadiene), various aryl halides (iodides and bromides) were coupled with organotin compounds to afford the corresponding biaryls and alkyne in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, high TONs [turnover numbers, TONs up to 950,000 for the reaction of 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene and tributyl(phenyl)stannane] for the Stille cross-coupling reaction were observed.     

Enantioselective synthesis of 2,5-dihydrobenzo[b]azepine derivatives via iridium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic amination with 2-allylanilines and ring-closing-metathesis reaction

Iridium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic amination of allylic carbonates with 2-allylanilines was realized. With a catalyst generated from 2 mol% of [Ir(dbcot)Cl](2) (dbcot = dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctatetraene) and 4 mol% of phosphoramidite ligand (L3), the amination products were obtained in up to 99% yield and 99% ee. Subjecting amination products to trifluoroacetyl protection and ring-closing-metathesis reaction provided an efficient synthesis of enantioenriched 2,5-dihydrobenzo[b]azepine derivatives.     

Desymmetrizing reductive aldol cyclizations of enethioate derivatives of 1,3-diones catalyzed by a chiral copper hydride

A range of enethioate derivatives of 1,3-diones underwent reductive aldol cyclizations catalyzed by a chiral copper hydride generated in situ from 5 mol% TaniaPhos (SL-T001-1), 5 mol% Cu(OAc)(2)·H(2)O, 5 mol% bipyridine and 2.0 equiv. of PhSiH(3), to furnish polycyclic β-hydroxythioester products bearing three newly established contiguous stereocenters, with >98:2 dr and in up to 94% yield and 98% ee. The use of an amine such as bipyridine or 2,6-lutidine as additive results in an increase of the overall reaction rate. The major bicyclic aldol product has all substituents cis and can be rationalized by a reductively generated (Z)-enolate reacting with the dione via a cyclic transition state.     

Copper‐catalyzed asymmetric 1,4‐conjugate addition of dialkylzinc to enones

Asymmetric 1,4‐conjugation addition of dialkylzinc (diethylzinc and dimethylzinc) to cyclic enones, chalcone and nitroalkenes was achieved by a 25 mol% (R)‐6,6′‐Br₂‐BINOL( 1f ), 25 mol% CuSPh and 100 mol% dicyclohexylmethylamin(Cy₂NMe) catalyst system. The Cu(I) catalyst system enables the cyclic enone, chalcone and nitroalkene generality with high enantioselectivity (up to 84% ee) and isolated yield (up to 94%) under mild reaction conditions.

Discovery of a new efficient chiral ligand for copper-catalyzed enantioselective Michael additions by high-throughput screening of a parallel library

A combinatorial library of 125 chiral Schiff base ligands 5 was synthesized with the use of solution-phase parallel synthesis and solid-phase extraction (SPE) techniques to scavenge excess reagents and reaction by-products and avoid chromatography. The synthetic methodology coupled five N-Boc-protected beta-amino sulfonyl chlorides 1a-e with five different amines 2f-j to give 25 N-Boc sulfonamides 3, which were in turn deprotected and coupled with five salicylaldehydes 4p-t to give 125 ligands 5 in good yields and of sufficient purity to be used in ligand-catalyzed reactions. These ligands were tested in the copper-catalyzed conjugate addition of dialkyl zinc to cyclic and acyclic enones. A multisubstrate high-throughput screening of the library was performed with an equimolar mixture of 2-cyclohexenone and 2-cycloheptenone (9 and 10, respectively, 0.2 mmol total), with 5.5 mol% ligand 5 (0.011 mmol) and 5 mol% Cu(OTf)2 (OTf= OSO2CF3) (0.010 mmol) in 1:1 toluene/ hexane at - 20 degrees C. From the screening of the library, 5bhr was identified as the best ligand, which yielded 3-ethylcyclohexanone (12) and 3-ethylcycloheptanone (13) in 82% and 81% ee, respectively, and complete conversions. Under optimized conditions (2.75 mol% 5bhr, 2.5 mol% copper(i) triflate, toluene as reaction solvent), improved results were obtained for 12 (90% ee, 93% yield) and for 13 (91% ee, 95% yield). Selected ligands 5 were also tested in the addition of Me2Zn to 2-cyclohexenone (9, ee up to 79%), of Et2Zn to 2-cyclopentenone (11, ee up to 80%) and to acyclic enones 16 and 17 (ee up to 50%).     

A catalytic asymmetric strecker-type reaction promoted by Lewis acid-Lewis base bifunctional catalyst

A general asymmetric Strecker-type reaction is reported, catalyzed by the Lewis acid-Lewis base bifunctional catalyst 1. The reaction of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) with various fluorenyl imines, including n-aldimines and alpha,beta-unsaturated imines, proceeds with good to excellent enantioselectivities in the presence of a catalytic amount of phenol as additive (20 mol%) (catalytic system 1). The products were successfully converted to the corresponding amino acid derivatives in high yields without loss of enantiomeric purity. Furthermore, hydrogenation or dihydroxylation of the products from alpha,beta-unsaturated imines afforded saturated or functionalized aminonitriles also without loss of enantiomeric purity. The absolute configuration of the products and a control experiment using catalyst 2 supported the proposed dual activation of the imine and TMSCN by the Lewis acid (Al) and the Lewis base moiety (phosphine oxide) of 1. From the mechanistic studies including kinetic and NMR experiments of the catalytic species, the role of PhOH seems to be a proton source to protonate the anionic nitrogen of the intermediate. Specifically, we have found that TMSCN is more reactive than HCN in this catalytic system, probably due to the activation ability of the phosphine oxide moiety of 1 toward TMSCN. This fact prompted us to develop the novel catalytic system 2, consisting of 1 (9 mol%), TMSCN (20 mol%) and HCN (1.2 mol eq). This new system afforded comparable results with obtained by system 1 (1 (9 mol%)-TMSCN (2 mol eq)-PhOH (20 mol%)).

Production of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural and Furfural from Lignocellulosic Biomass in Water-Tetrahydrofuran Media with Sodium Bisulfate

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural (FF), two bio-based platform chemicals, were produced from various raw lignocellulosic materials (corncob, corn stover, wheat straw, rice straw and sugarcane bagasse) in a water-tetrahydrofuran media by using NaHSO₄ as catalyst. The in fluences of reaction temperature (160-200 oC), reaction time (30-120 min), solvent volume ratio, feedstock concentration (2.4wt%-11.1wt%) and catalyst dosage were studied. The highest HMF and FF yields obtained from corncob were 47mol% and 56mol% under condition of 190 oC, 90 min, 10/1 of THF/H₂O. Besides, the lignin in the raw biomass wasalso depolymerized into organosolv lignin.

Good yields resulted, and the reaction showed tolerance toward functional groups such as ester, nitro, and chloro. Aliphatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes also afforded the desired products in moderate to good yields.
