Rationally designed 4-phenoxy substituted prolinamide phenols organocatalyst for the direct aldol reaction in water

A rationally designed 4-phenoxy substituted prolinamide phenols as an efficient hydrophobic organocatalyst for direct asymmetric aldol reaction in water has been developed. High yield (up to 99%), diastereoselectivity (up to 99:1), and enantioselectivity (up to 97%) were obtained under optimal condition. The influence of substituent groups on the reactivity of catalysts was studied in detail.     

Effect of structure of the redox molecular sieve TS-1 on the oxidation of phenol, crotyl alcohol and norbornylene

A range of crystalline TS-1 samples with different morphologies as well as the corresponding TS-1 precursor structures have been synthesised using hydrothermal crystallisation. The materials have been characterised using powder X-ray diffraction, IR and Raman spectroscopy and electron microscopy. The materials were used as catalysts for the oxidation of crotyl alcohol, phenol and norbornylene and, in particular, the reactivity of the precursor structures was contrasted with crystalline TS-1. The oxidation of crotyl alcohol, selected as a relatively non-reactive substituted alkene, did not require the TS-1 structure for reactivity and TS-1 precursor structures are active, although crystalline TS-1 was found to be more reactive than the precursor structures. In contrast, phenol hydroxylation is only catalysed by crystalline TS-1. The reaction of phenol is observed to occur only on the exterior surface of large TS-1 crystallites. With smaller crystallites of TS-1, i.e. the size range of interest for catalysis, the rapid subsequent reaction of hydroquinone makes it difficult to determine whether reaction occurs solely on the exterior of the crystallites or at sites within the porous structure. Hence it is suggested that this reaction has limited scope as a probe reaction for the reactivity of sites within the crystallites. It is, however, feasible that phenol hydroxylation is a viable probe reaction for TS-1 type structural units. Norbornylene was studied as an example of a reactant too large to enter the internal pore structure of TS-1 and hence only reaction at pore mouths and external surface sites was possible. Larger TS-1 crystallites were more active for this substrate than suggested by surface area considerations. The results are discussed in terms of the selection of model reactions for the study of TS-1 catalysts.     

Highly diastereo- and enantioselective direct aldol reactions of aldehydes and ketones catalyzed by siloxyproline in the presence of water

Proline-based organocatalysts have been developed for a highly enantioselective, direct aldol reaction of aldehydes and ketones in the presence of water. While several surfactant-proline combined catalysts have proved effective, proline derivatives with a hydrophobic moiety such as trans-siloxy-L-proline and cis-siloxy-D-proline, both of which are easily prepared from the same commercially available 4-hydroxy-L-proline, have been found to be the most effective organocatalysts examined in this study, affording the aldol product with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities, these two catalysts generating opposite enantiomers. Water affects the selectivity, and poor results are obtained under neat reaction conditions or in dry organic solvents. More than three equivalents of water are required for the best diastereo- and enantioselectivities, while three equivalents is the recommended amount from a synthetic point of view. The reaction proceeds in the organic phase, and also proceeds in the presence of a large amount of water. The large-scale preparation of aldols with the minimal use of an organic solvent, including in the purification step, is described.

Tailoring Porosity and Titanium Species of TS-1 Zeolites via Organic Base-assisted Sequential Post-treatment

The exploration of high-efficient catalysts based on hierarchical Ti-containing zeolites with optimized active titanium species distribution is of great value in enhancing the epoxidation of bulky olefins. Herein, hierarchical TS-1(MFI) zeolite with an extra-large external surface area(210 m²/g) and highly active octahedral- coordinated Ti species was prepared via organic base-assisted sequential post-treatment. Such a catalyst afforded a high turnover number value(TON, 114) in 1-octene epoxidation reaction, which was over twice than that(53) of the untreated conventional microporous TS-1 parent. According to the detailed characterization results, we revealed the hierarchical porosity construction effect of tetrapropylamonium hydroxide(TPAOH) treatment(first step) and the octahedral-coordinated Ti species fabrication effect of ethylamine(EA) treatment(second step) under hydrothermal condition. Such a facile post-treatment strategy reported in this work may provide guidance for the rational synthesis of TS-1 zeolite with enhanced catalytic activity.     

Direct asymmetric aldol reactions inspired by two types of natural aldolases: water-compatible organocatalysts and Zn(II) complexes

In this article the utility of water-compatible amino-acid-based catalysts was explored in the development of diastereo- and enantioselective direct aldol reactions of a broad range of substrates. Chiral C(2)-symmetrical proline- and valine-based amides and their Zn(II) complexes were designed for use as efficient and flexible chiral catalysts for enantioselective aldol reactions in water, on water, and in the presence of water. The presence of 5 mol % of the prolinamide-based catalyst affords asymmetric intermolecular aldol reactions between unmodified ketones and various aldehydes to give anti products with excellent enantioselectivities. We also demonstrate aldol reactions of more demanding substrates with high affinity to water (i.e., acetone and formaldehyde). Newly designed serine-based organocatalyst promoted aldol reaction of hydroxyacetone leading to syn-diols. For presented catalytic systems organic solvent-free conditions are also acceptable, making the elaborated methodology interesting from a green chemistry perspectives.

Simple amphiphilic isosteviol–proline conjugates as chiral catalysts for the direct asymmetric aldol reaction in the presence of water

Two novel amphiphilic catalysts 3 and 4 were synthesized by the condensation of isosteviol with l-proline in a one-pot process. With only 1 mol % loading, the catalyst 3 showed excellent activity (up to >99% yield) and stereoselectivity (up to 99:1 dr, >99% ee) for the direct aldol reaction of cyclohexanone and substituted benzaldehydes at room temperature in the presence of water. In addition, solvent effects, catalyst loading, substrate scope, temperature, and the influence of water on the reactions were investigated. These results demonstrate that the catalysts with a chiral concave and hydrophobic substituent in the 4-position of l-proline furnished high activity and stereoselectivity for the reaction.

Highly anti-selective asymmetric aldol reactions using chiral zirconium catalysts. Improvement of activities, structure of the novel zirconium complexes, and effect of a small amount of water for the preparation of the catalysts

Catalytic asymmetric aldol reactions of silyl enol ethers with aldehydes (Mukaiyama aldol reactions) have been performed using novel chiral zirconium catalysts. The reactions proceeded in high yields under mild conditions, and anti-adducts were obtained in high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The catalysts were first prepared from zirconium(IV) tert-butoxide (Zr(O(t)Bu)(4)), (R)-3,3'-diiodo-1,1'-binaphthalene-2,2'-diol ((R)-3,3'-I(2)BINOL), a primary alcohol, and a small amount of water. It was revealed that the primary alcohol played an important role in completing the catalytic cycle and that a small amount of water was essential for obtaining high selectivities. Moreover, activities of the chiral zirconium catalysts were enhanced by using new ligands, (R)-3,3'-I(2)-6,6'-X(2)BINOL (X = Br, I, C(2)F(5)), and it has been shown that even aldol reactions of less reactive substrates proceeded smoothly using the novel zirconium catalysts. Finally, NMR studies of these catalysts were performed, which suggested that the catalyst would form a dimeric structure and that the water affected the catalyst formation.

Small Organic Molecules for Direct Aldol Reaction

Since the pioneering finding by List and Barbas III and their coworkers that L-proline could work as a catalyst in the intermolecular direct aldol reaction, the concept of small organic molecules as catalysts has received great attention. However, new organic molecule which have better catalysis ability are reported scarcely. Our groups1 found L-Prolinamides 1 to be active catalysts for the direct aldol reaction of 4-nitrobenaldehyde with neat acetone at room temperature. The enantioselecti…     

Synthesis and catalytic antibody functionalization of dendrimers

Antibody 38C2 catalyzed a retro-aldol process upon dendritic modified aliphatic polyesters. This catalytic system was studied in detail and displayed rate enhancements, k(cat)/k(uncat), of greater than 10(6). These antibody-catalyzed reactions took place in a stepwise manner yielding partially modified aldol-dendrimers until a fully substituted aldehyde dendrimer was formed. The catalytic antibody 38C2 only reacted with surface-exposed aldol moieties and did not significantly interact with the core groups for dendrons 4 and 8. For a higher generation dendron 8 the rate of unmasking slightly decreased presumably due to steric crowding of the aldol functionalities. In addition, catalytic antibody 38C2 was able to selectively differentiate block-hybrid dendrons and was regiospecific in the retro-aldol reaction of dendron 21. This is an inaugural report of a catalytic antibody utilizing dendrimers as substrates and suggests that antibodies could be used as selective catalysts for the controlled release and activation of specific molecules attached to biodegradable polymeric materials. Furthermore, this is the first example of catalytic antibody 38C2 displaying regioselectivity on a multifunctional aldol substrate. Important for synthetic applications is the antibody's ability to selectively differentiate regions on dendritic substrates and produce partly aldol functionalized dendrons under conditions mild enough to avoid beta-elimination.     

Fluorogenic probes for aldol reactions: tuning of fluorescence using π-conjugation systems

Fluorogenic aldehydes or probes for monitoring of the progress of aldol reactions have been developed. Fluorescence of benzaldehydes conjugated with aryl groups via a double or triple bond and of their aldol products was evaluated in aqueous solutions. Based on the fluorescence, fluorogenic aldol reaction substrates and retro-aldol reaction substrates were identified. Use of the probe system with optimal fluorescence properties for aldol reactions was demonstrated in assays with purified protein catalysts and with overproduced crude protein catalysts in cell lysates.
