Asymmetric oxidation of sulfides catalyzed by (R)-6,6'-dibromo-BINOL derived titanium complex

Abstract

An efficient asymmetric oxidation of sulfides was achieved using (R)-6,6'-dibromo-BINOL as chiral ligand in combination with Ti(OⁱPr)₄ using 70% aqueous tertiary butyl hydroperoxide as oxidant. The resulting sulfoxides had high enantiopurities and good yields. A range of aryl alkyl and aryl benzyl sulfides were oxidized to the corresponding sulfoxides with 78–95% ee in 72–80% yields.

Asymmetric radical cyclization of (2S,3S)-2,3-butanediyl, (2S,4S)-2,4-pentanediyl,and (2S,5S)-2,5-hexanediyl bis(4-vinylbenzoate)s as a model reaction for asymmetric cyclocopolymerization

The asymmetric cyclocopolymerization of bis(4-vinylbezoate) of a chiral diol with styrene is a promising method for the preparation of optically active polystyrene derivatives because of main-chain chirality. However, the mechanism for chirality induction from the chiral diol to the main chain is still unknown. To clarify the chirality induction mechanism, we carried out the radical cyclizations of (2S,3S)-2,3-butanediyl bis(4-vinylbenzoate), (2S,4S)-2,4-pentanediyl bis(4-vinylbenzoate), and (2S,5S)-2,5-hexanediyl bis(4-vinylbenzoate) with tri-n-butyltin hydride or allyltri-n-butyltin as a chain-transfer reagent as model reactions for asymmetric cyclocopolymerization. The absolute configuration was determined with single-crystal X-ray crystallography and a circular dichroism exciton chirality method. The distribution of the stereoisomer showed (R)-configuration selectivity (21–34% diastereomeric excess) in the intramolecular cyclization and an extremely low extent (<1%) of the (S,S)-cyclized product among the four stereoisomers. Therefore, chirality induction is caused by the selective inhibition of the (S,S)-racemo configuration. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 42: 4671–4681, 2004

Asymmetric oxidation of sulfides catalyzed by chiral (salen)Mn(III) complexes with a pyrrolidine backbone

Catalytic properties of a series of chiral (pyrrolidine salen)Mn(III) complexes for asymmetric oxidation of aryl methyl sulfides were evaluated. Moderate activity, good chemical selectivity and low enantioselectivity were attained with iodosylbenzene as a terminal oxidant. Enantioselectivity of sulfide oxidation was affected slightly by polar solvent and the sulfoxidation carried out in THF for thioanisole and in CH₃CO₂Et for electron‐deficient sulfides gave better enatioselctivities. The addition of the donor ligand PPNO (4‐phenylpyridine N‐oxide) or MNO (trimethylamine N‐oxide) only has a minor positive effect on the enantioselectivity. Also explored was the steric effect of the N_aza‐substituent in the backbone of (pyrrolidine salen)Mn(III) complexes on the enantioselectivity of sulfide oxidation. The sulfides' access pathway is discussed based on the catalytic results. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Asymmetric synthesis of 4,4-disubstituted 2-cyclopentenones from optically active 1-chlorovinyl p-tolyl sulfoxides and cyanomethyllithium with formation of a quaternary chiral center

Treatment of optically active 1-chlorovinyl p-tolyl sulfoxides having two different substituents at the 2-position, which were synthesized from unsymmetrical ketones and (R)-(−)-chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide in three steps, with cyanomethyllithium gave optically active 2-amino-1-cyano-5,5-disubstituted-1,3-cyclopentadienes with very high asymmetric induction from the sulfoxide chiral center. The products were converted to the enantiomerically pure 4,4-disubstituted 2-cyclopentenones by heating with phosphoric acid in acetic acid.     

One-Pot Synthesis and Asymmetric Oxidation of 2-Nitro-4-(Trifluoromethyl)Benzene Containing Sulfides

Abstract

An efficient one-pot method for the preparation of 2-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene containing sulfides from 1,1′-disulfanediylbis[2-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene] is proposed. The corresponding enantiomerically enriched sulfoxides with up to 78% enantiomeric excess are prepared by the asymmetric oxidation of sulfides using a modified Sharpless method. The yield of sulfoxides is shown to decrease with an increase in the bulk of the aliphatic group and with a decrease of the inductive effect of the hydrocarbonic moiety on the sulfur atom.

Asymmetric synthesis of anti-(2S,3S)- and syn-(2R,3S)-diaminobutanoic acid

Conjugate addition of homochiral lithium N-benzyl-N-alpha-methylbenzylamide to tert-butyl (E)-cinnamate or tert-butyl (E)-crotonate and in situ amination with trisyl azide results in the exclusive formation of the corresponding 2-diazo-3-amino esters in > 95% de. Amination of the lithium (E)-enolates of tert-butyl (3S,alphaR)-3-N-benzyl-N-alpha-methylbenzylamino-3-phenylpropanoate or tert-butyl (3S,alphaS)-3-N-benzyl-N-alpha-methylbenzylaminobutanoate with trisyl azide gives the (2R,3R,alphaR)- and (2S,3S,alphaS )-anti-2-azido-3-amino esters in good yields and in 85% de and > 95% de respectively. Alternatively, tert-butyl anti-(2S,3S,alphaS)-2-hydroxy-3-N-benzyl-N-alpha-methylbenzylaminobutanoate may be converted selectively to tert-butyl anti-(2S,3S,alphaS)-2-azido-3-N-benzyl-N-alpha-methylbenzylaminobutanoate by aziridinium ion formation and regioselective opening with azide. Deprotection of tert-butyl (2S,3S,alphaS)-2-azido-3-aminobutanoate via Staudinger reduction, hydrogenolysis and ester hydrolysis furnishes anti-(2S,3S)-diaminobutanoic acid in 98%, de and 98% ee. The asymmetric synthesis of the diastereomeric syn-(2R,3S)-diaminobutanoic acid (98% de and 98% ee) was accomplished via functional group manipulation of tert-butyl anti-(2S,3S,alphaS)-2-hydroxy-3-N-benzyl-N-alpha-methylbenzylaminobutanoate in a protocol involving azide inversion of tert-butyl (2S,3S)-2-mesyloxy-3-N-Boc-butanoate and subsequent deprotection.

From central to helical chirality: synthesis of P and M enantiomers of [5]helicenequinones and bisquinones from (SS)-2-(p-tolylsulfinyl)- 1,4-benzoquinone

The reaction of 1,4-divinyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene, 5,8-dimethoxy- or tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-3-vinyl-1,2-dihydrophenanthrene or 6-vinyl-7,8-dihydro-1,4-phenanthrenequinone with an excess of enantiopure (SS)-2-(p-tolylsulfinyl)-1,4-benzoquinone (2) led to the direct formation of enantioenriched dihydro[5]helicenequinones or bisquinones (50-->98 % ee). A domino Diels-Alder cycloaddition/sulfoxide elimination/partial aromatization process occurs, being the absolute configuration of the final helicene defined in the aromatization step. Both M and P helimers are accessible through a stepwise enantiodivergent process if the pentacyclic dihydroaromatic intermediate resulting in the two first steps is aromatized in the presence of (+/-)-2, DDQ, CAN or DBU.
