Highly selective glycine phase-transfer catalysis using fluoroanthracenylmethyl cinchonidine catalysts

Fluoroanthracenylmethyl cinchonidine phase-transfer catalysts have been produced and explored for asymmetric glycine alkylation. The fluoroanthracenylmethyl precursors were made from aryloxazolidinones and aldehydes using an efficient electrophilic substitution with phosphorous pentoxide. The cinchonidine catalysts promote highly selective glycine alkylation under mild conditions. The 1,8-difluoroanthracenyl-10-methyl catalyst 6 (10 mol %) in toluene/THF with 50% aqueous KOH (−20 °C) promoted benzylation of glycine 1 to give 2 in 86% yield, 98% ee. Other electrophiles also gave excellent selectivity and reactivity.     

Recyclable cinchona alkaloid catalyzed asymmetric Michael addition reaction

Catalytic asymmetric phase-transfer reactions using tartrate-derived asymmetric two-center organocatalysts

A new highly versatile asymmetric two-center catalyst, tartrate-derived diammonium salt (TaDiAS), was designed and a catalyst library containing more than 70 new two-center catalysts was constructed. A variety of (S,S)- and (R,R)-TaDiAS were easily synthesized from diethyl l- and d-tartrate, respectively, using common and inexpensive reagents under operationally simple reaction conditions. TaDiAS was used in phase-transfer alkylations and Michael additions to afford various optically active α-amino acid equivalents in up to 93% yield. Moreover, dramatic counter anion effects were observed in phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) for the first time, making it possible to further improve reactivity and selectivity. These findings validate the usefulness of three-dimensional fine-tuning of the catalyst (acetal, Ar, and counter anion) for optimization. Recovery and reuse of the catalyst was also possible using simple procedures. The present asymmetric PTC was successfully applied to enantioselective syntheses of serine protease inhibitor aeruginosin 298-A and its analogues.

Asymmetric phase-transfer reactions under base-free neutral conditions

Although quaternary onium salt-catalyzed phase-transfer reactions are generally believed to require base additives, we discovered even without any base additives conjugate additions of 3-substituted oxindoles proceeded smoothly in the presence of lipophilic quaternary onium bromide under water-organic biphasic conditions. The mechanism of this novel base-free neutral phase-transfer reaction system was investigated, and the assumed catalytic cycle was presented together with interesting effects of water and lipophilicity of the phase-transfer catalyst. The base-free neutral phase-transfer reaction system could be applied to highly enantioselective conjugate additions, aldol reaction, sulfenylation, and chlorination under the influence of chiral bifunctional onium bromides as key catalysts.

Asymmetric synthesis and antiviral activity of novel chiral amino-pyrimidine derivatives

By using a chiral cinchona alkaloid-squaramide catalyst, a series of both enantiomers of novel amino-pyrimidine derivatives can be obtained in an enantioselective three-component one-pot Mannich reaction with high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. In addition, these chiral derivatives were found to exhibit higher antiviral activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in vivo than the commercial agent ningnanmycin. In particular, chiral compounds (R)-4b and (R)-4e showed excellent antiviral activity against TMV at a concentration of 500?μg/mL, with a curative activity of 56.8% and 55.2%, respectively, a protection activity of 69.1% and 67.1%, respectively, and an inactivation activity of 91.5% and 94.3%, respectively. These values are superior to those of the agent ningnanmycin (which has curative, protective, and inactivation activities of 52.9%, 62.8%, and 90.4%, respectively). The antiviral mechanisms and enhanced antiviral activities of these chiral derivatives are interesting subjects for future investigation.
