Reduction of carbonyl compounds via hydrosilylation: V. Synthesis of optically active allylic alcohols via regioselective asymmetric hydrosilylation

Regioselective asymmetric reduction of prochiral α,β-unsaturated ketones to optically active allylic alcohols was performed via hydrosilylation catalyzed by a rhodium(I) complex with (+)-BMPP, (+)-DIOP and (?)-DIOP as chiral ligands. The allylic alcohols with optical purity up to 69% e.e. were obtained in good yields. The extent of asymmetric induction was found to depend on the stereo-electronic matching of the chiral ligand, ketone and hydrosilane employed. In the asymmetric reduction of (R)-carvone, leading to carveol, the extent of asymmetric induction was found to depend markedly on the ligand/rhodium ratio. Either trans-(5R,1S)-carveol or cis-(5R,1R)-carveol was obtained with good stereoselectivity by using (?)-DIOP or (+)-DIOP as chiral ligand, and it turned out that the chiral center present in carvone had only a slight influence on the asymmetric induction by the chiral catalysts.     

Formation of optically active chromanes by catalytic asymmetric tandem oxa-Michael addition-Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions

A novel tandem reaction involving an oxa-Michael addition, followed by a Friedel-Crafts alkylation has been developed. This catalytic tandem reaction, which provides facile and efficient access to optically active functionalised chromanes, proceeds under the influence of bisoxazoline-based catalysts to give diastereomerically pure products in enantioselectivities up to 81% and excellent yields. The optimisation studies, the scope of the reaction, and a model that on the basis of PM3 calculations predicts the outcome of the reaction will be detailed.     

A practical synthesis of optically active arylglycines via catalytic asymmetric Strecker reaction

A practical procedure for catalytic asymmetric synthesis of optically active arylglycine derivatives via optically active α-aminonitriles has been developed. The N-benzhydryl α-arylaminonitrile intermediates were prepared in excellent yield (89–99%) and enantiomeric purity (96 to >98% ee) by enantioselective cyanation of aldimines with TMSCN/ⁱPrOH in the presence of 2.5 mol % of an easily prepared Ti/chiral amino alcohol complex at 0 °C, without requiring slow addition of the cyanating agent. The easily racemized α-aminonitrile intermediates were efficiently hydrolyzed by an aqueous HCl/TFA mixture to give the arylglycine derivatives in good yield (60–92%) and moderate to excellent enantiomeric purity (85–98% ee).     

Efficient synthesis of optically active atropisomeric anilides through catalytic asymmetric N-arylation reaction

In the presence of (R)-DTBM-SEGPHOS-Pd(OAc)2 catalyst, N-arylation of ortho-tert-butyl-NH-anilides with 4-nitroiodobenzene proceeds with high enantioselectivity (89-95% ee) to give optically active atropisomeric anilides possessing N-C chiral axis. Furthermore, the intramolecular version of the present catalytic asymmetric N-arylation gave atropisomeric lactams with high optical purity (94-96% ee).     

Chiral silanes via asymmetric hydrosilylation with catalytic CuH

[reaction: see text] CuH-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate reduction of beta-silyl-alpha,beta-unsaturated esters has been developed. Using PMHS as a stoichiometric source of hydride and in situ generated CuH ligated by Solvias' JOSIPHOS analogue PPF-P(t-Bu)(2) leads to highly enantioselective 1,4-reductions.     

Synthesis of racemic and optically active Δ1- and Δ6-3,4-cis-tetrahydrocannabinols1

Three syntheses of the hitherto unknown (±)-Δ⁶-3,4-cis-THC 4a and the first total synthesis of optically active Δ¹- and Δ⁶-cis-THC's are described. These syntheses utilize a stereospecific intramolecular epoxide opening by phenolate anion; an acid catalyzed equilibration of Δ¹- and Δ⁶-cis-THC acetates; and a kinetically controlled dehydration. The use of HPLC, GLC and NMR for the separation and identification of closely related THC's is discussed.     

Metal controlled enantioselectivity in the catalytic asymmetric hydrosilylation

The asymmetric hydrosilylation of acetophenone with Ph₂SiH₂ has been investigated in the presence of (S)-amphos as the chiral ligand in combination with the cyclooctadiene-rhodium(I), -iridium(I), -palladium(II), and -platinum(II) chloride complexes.

High activity and optical yields up to 50% ee have been obtained. The product configuration induced by the rhodium system is (S), in all other cases it was (R).     

Phosphorus-bearing axially chiral biaryls by catalytic asymmetric cross-cyclotrimerization and a first application in asymmetric hydrosilylation

A novel and efficient, two-step route to axially chiral biaryls is demonstrated. In a direct asymmetric cross-cyclotrimerization in the presence of a chiral cobalt(I) catalyst, axially chiral biaryls bearing phosphoryl moieties have been prepared, and through indirect evidence the authors have been able to clarify the origin of the stereochemical induction and the nature of the central intermediate in the catalytic cycle. By subsequent reduction of the phosphoryl moiety to the corresponding phosphine, a very efficient and atom-economical approach to chiral systems has been developed. These chiral systems clearly have great potential use as axially chiral monodentate P- or bidentate P,O-ligands, as has been demonstrated by the employment of the novel NAPHEP as a new monodentate acting ligand in an asymmetric hydrosilylation reaction.     

Preparation of unsymmetrical disulfides by using sulfines1

Acidolytic cleavage of unsymmetrically substituted dithioacetal monoxides, ArCH(SR)S(O)Me has been used to prepare linear unsymmetrical disulfides RSSMe. Disproportionation was suppressed by the addition of a small amount of benzyl mercaptan. The required starting materials were conveniently obtained from appropriately substituted sulfines ArC(=SO)SR and methyl lithium. The following disulfides were prepared: R =n-C₄H₉ (73.5%), n-C₇H₁₅ (78%), Ph (77.3%), AcO(CH₂)₁₀ (81.5%).The unsymmetrical dithioacetal PhCH(SEt)SC₇H₁₅-n gave upon oxidation with one equivalent of peracid a mixture of two dithioacetal monoxides which on treatment with HClO₄ led to three disulfides. This result is discussed in term of the mechanism of acidolysis.     

Enantioselective synthesis of optically active secondary amines via asymmetric reduction

The enantioselective synthesis of optically active secondary amines via the asymmetric reduction of N-substituted ketimines with various chiral hydride reagents, such as Itsuno's reagent (1), Corey's reagent (2), K glucoride (3), Sharpless' reagent (4), and Mosher's reagent (5) has been investigated. Among the hydride reagents examined, 1 gave the best results in terms of asymmetric induction. Thus, the reduction of N-phenylimine derivatives of aromatic ketones with 1 provided the corresponding amines in 96–98% yields with high optical induction, such as 73 % ee for acetophenone N-phenylimine (6a), 87 % ee for propiophenone N-phenylimine (6b), 88 % ee for bulyrophenone N-phenylimine (6c), and 71 % ee for isobutyrophenone N-phenylimine (6d). In the case of N-alkyl ketimine derivatives, the reduction afforded somewhat lower optical inductions as compared to those of N-phenyl derivatives, giving 46 % ee for acetophenone N-benzylimine (6f), 52 % ee for acetophnone N-ⁿ-heptylimine (6g) and 43 % ee for acetophenone N-cyclohexylimine (6h). However, the substitution of a bulky alkyl group on nitrogen of the ketimines increases remarkably the optical induction of product amine, such as 80 % ee for acetophenone N-tert-butylimine (6e). The reduction of N-substituted aliphatic ketimines gave very low optical inductions (7.4 – 24 % ee). The catalytic effects of oxazaborolidines (1a and 2a) in the reduction of ketimines with 1 and 2 were also examined.     

Preparation and properties of optically active polyurethane/TiO2 nanocomposites derived from optically pure 1,1′-binaphthyl

In this study, optically active polyurethanes (PU) were prepared from chiral 1,1′-binaphthyl (BINOL) and 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (TDI) by the simple hydrogen transfer addition reaction and the high-intensity ultrasonic was applied to the preparation of polyurethane/TiO₂ nanocomposites. The (R)-BPU and (S)-BPU were analyzed by ¹H NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), UV-vis spectroscopy and circular dichroism (CD) spectra. The results indicated that the polymers exhibited stronger CD signals with positive and negative Cotton effect in their CD spectra. Meanwhile, the nanocomposites were characterized by IR, powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results manifested the improvement of heat stability of the nanocomposites with the presence of TiO₂ nanoparticles. As a result, the infrared emissivity (8-14 μm) study revealed that the nanocomposites possessed much lower infrared values compared with those of the neat polymers and nanoparticles, respectively.     

Synthesis of optically active oligonaphthalenes via second-order asymmetric transformation

Synthesis of numerous optically active rod-shaped oligo(2,3-dioxyfunctionalized)naphthalenes connected at their 1,4-positions was achieved using oxidative coupling under CuCl2/alpha-methylbenzylamine conditions by second-order asymmetric transformation. We believe this method is practical and should contribute to the field of material science.     

Synthesis of optically active (+)-19-nortestosterone by asymmetric bis-annulation reaction

Michael reaction of 1,7-pctadien-3-one with 2-methylcyclopentane-1,3-dione, followed by intramolecular aldol condensation promoted by L-amino acids produced the optically active (+)-4-(3-butenyl)-7a-methyl-5,6,7,7a-tetrahydroindane-1,5-dione in high chemical and optical yields. The PdCl₂-catalyzed oxidation of the terminal double bond gave the methyl ketone, which had 76% optical purity and was made 100% optically pure by recrystallization. Then aldol condensation afforded the tricyclic ketone, which was alkylated with 3-butenyl iodide to afford (?)-3β-t-butoxy-2,3,3a,4,5,7,8,9,9aβ,9bα-decahydro-6-(3-butenyl)-3aβ-methyl-1H-benz[e]inden-7-one. The synthesis of this compound means the total synthesis of (+)-19-nortestosterone.
