TAMOF-1 , a homochiral metal-organic framework (MOF) constructed from an amino acid derivative and Cu(II), was investigated as a heterogeneous catalyst in kinetic resolutions involving the ring opening of styrene oxide with a set of anilines. The branched products generated from the ring opening of styrene oxide with anilines and the unreacted epoxide were obtained with moderately high enantiomeric excesses. The linear product arising from the attack on the non-benzylic position of styrene oxide underwent a second kinetic resolution by reacting with the epoxide, resulting in an amplification of its final enantiomeric excess and a concomitant formation of an array of isomeric aminodiols. Computational studies confirmed the experimental results, providing a deep understanding of the whole process involving the two successive kinetic resolutions. Furthermore, TAMOF-1 activity was conserved after several catalytic cycles. The ring opening of a meso-epoxide with aniline catalyzed by TAMOF-1 was also studied and moderate enantioselectivities were obtained. 相似文献
Enantiomerically enriched thiiranium ion 5 has been prepared by silver‐assisted ionization of chloro sulfide 4 at ?20 °C. This thiiranium ion is configurationally stable in solution up to room temperature as demonstrated by the stereospecific capture of the ion by various oxygen‐ and nitrogen‐based nucleophiles. Both isolated olefins and weak Lewis bases can promote the racemization of 5 but these processes can also be suppressed at low temperature. Capture of 5 by methanol is faster than the racemization processes. 相似文献
Natural lipases typically recognize enantiomers of alcohols based on the size differences of substituents near the carbinol moiety and selectively react with the R enantiomers of secondary alcohols. Therefore, lipase-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of racemic secondary alcohols produces only R enantiomers. We report herein a method for obtaining S enantiomers by DKR of secondary 3-(trialkylsilyl)propargyl alcohols by using a well-known R-selective Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase in combination with a racemization catalyst VMPS4, in which the silyl group reverses the size relationship of substituents near the carbinol moiety. We have already reported R-selective DKR of the corresponding propargyl alcohols without substituents on the ethynyl terminal carbon, and the presence of an easily removable silyl group has enabled us to produce both enantiomers of propargyl alcohols in high chemical yields and with high enantiomeric excess. In addition, immobilization of the lipase on Celite was found to be important for achieving a high efficiency of the DKR. 相似文献
Dynamic transformation : A racemization catalyst and the enzyme Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) were combined in a one‐pot dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of primary amines, which were transformed to their corresponding amides in up to 95 % yield and >99 % ee. This chemoenzymatic DKR was also applied to the synthesis of norsertraline (see scheme).
