Discovery of exceptionally efficient catalysts for solvent-free enantioselective hetero-Diels-Alder reaction.

Combinatorial coordination chemistry strategy combined with high-throughput screening techniques has been successfully applied to engineering practical enantioselective catalysts for asymmetric hetero-Diels-Alder reaction. The reaction of Danishefsky's diene with a variety of aldehydes can be carried out with 0.1-0.005 mol % of H4-BINOL/Ti/H4-BINOL or H4-BINOL/Ti/H8-BINOL catalysts at room temperature under solvent- and MS-free conditions to afford dihydropyrone derivatives with up to quantitative yield and 99.8% ee.     

Solvent effect in the chromatographic enantioseparation of 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol on a polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phase

Enantioseparation of 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) was performed on a polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phase, Chiralcel OD-H, under normal-phase mode. The effects of polar modifier in the mobile phase on the retention, enantioseparation and elution order were investigated in detail. Solvent-induced reversal of elution order for BINOL was observed. When linear alcohols were adopted, R-BINOL was always eluted first. S-BINOL was eluted first when 2-propanol was used as a polar modifier. Enantioseparation could not be obtained when sec-butyl alcohol or tert-butyl alcohol was used as a polar modifier. When isoamyl alcohol or cyclohexanol was used as a polar modifier, favorable enantioseparation was obtained as with 1-pentanol or 1-hexanol; also, R-BINOL was the first-eluted enantiomer. It is worth emphasizing that significantly better enantioseparation was obtained when higher alcohols were used as polar modifier of the mobile phase. A nonlinear characteristic for the ln α against 1/T plots was universally observed in this study though the ln k against 1/T plots exhibited a linear feature. Associated with the obtained thermodynamic parameters, some interesting inferences about chiral recognition mechanism were proposed.     

A new method for the synthesis of H(4)-BINOL

A method amenable to the gram scale synthesis of (R)-H 4-BINOL, a derivative of (R)-BINOL and ligand of interest in asymmetric catalysis, is described. The key step is the net partial hydrogenation of (R)-BINOL made possible by prior bis-etherification of the parent BINOL.     

Supramolecular Ammine-Copper rac-BINOLAT Salts through in-situ R- or S-BINOL Racemization

The molecule rac-1,1'-binaphthalene-2,2'-diol (rac-1,1'-bi-2-naphthol, rac-BINOL) shows a propensity for supramolecular, charge-assisted O–H ··· O^– hydrogen-bonded strand formation when crystallized with its deprotonated form BINOLAT^2– and Cu²⁺ in conc. ammonia. The naphthyl-paneled cavities in the {(rac-BINOLAT^2–)(rac-BINOL)₂} strands host the [Cu(NH₃)₅]²⁺-guest cation through second-sphere N–H ··· O hydrogen bonding in the structure of [Cu(NH₃)₅]²⁺(rac-BINOLAT^2–)(rac-BINOL)₂. Decreasing the copper(II) and ammonia concentrations in the crystallization leads to {(rac-BINOLAT^2–)(rac-BINOL)} strands, in which rac-BINOLAT^2– coordinates to two copper(II) atoms in the structure of [Cu(NH₃)₂(μ-rac-BINOLAT^2–-κ²O,O':κO)]₂(rac-BINOL)₂. In the {Cu²⁺(NH₃)₂} moiety two BINOLAT-oxide atoms act as bridging ligands. Both copper structures could be obtained by using the racemic rac-BINOL or the enantiomeric R- or S-BINOL, through an in-situ racemization of the latter.

双功能MoNi4电极实现水参与的氮杂环化合物转移氢化与脱氢

氮杂环的催化氢化在有机合成、药物研发、石油化工等领域有着重要应用.尽管发展了一系列均相和非均相催化加氢体系,但由于通常使用易燃易爆的氢气或价格昂贵且毒性较高的试剂(如:水合肼和硼氢化钠)为氢源,给安全生产及生态环境带来了严重的问题.此外,由于动力学同位素效应,氘代药物具有重要应用.氮杂环结构作为生物医药的构筑单元与关键中间体,现有的策略由于没有合适的氘源难以用于氘代氮杂环化合物的合成.因此,急需开发一种基于非贵金属催化剂和安全易得氢(氘)源的氮杂环催化氢(氘)化策略.水相中的电化学氢化可利用水电解原位产生的活性氢替代传统的氢气裂解实现有机氢化产物的合成,已成为一种理想氢化策略,被广泛应用于二氧化碳还原、硝酸根还原和生物质氢解等.本课题组前期研究已经实现了以氘水为氘源的氘代分子的高效电化学合成(Angew.Chem.Int.Ed.,2020,59,18527–18531;Angew.Chem.Int.Ed.,2020,59,21170–21175;CCS Chem.,2021,3,507–515).然而,要开发一种电化学的杂环氢化方法,一方面要克服氮杂环化合物对催化剂的毒化,另一方面要在电极表面产生大量的活性氢.因此,开发具有较好的水离解性能的非贵金属电极材料是实现氮杂芳烃电化学氢化和氘代的关键.基于上述要求,MoNi4(目前用于碱性电催化水分解制氢的活性较高的非贵金属材料)成为理想的电极材料.本文以喹喔啉(1,2,3,4-四氢喹喔啉骨架作为重要的结构单元存在于许多生物活性化合物中)作为模板底物,设计并制备了三维自支撑的MoNi4多孔纳米片为双功能电极,以水和氘水为氢源和氘源,实现了喹喔啉及其他氮杂环分子的氢化与氢化,同时实现了四氢喹喔啉的电化学氧化脱氢.制备了MoNi4纳米片阵列,利用扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜、X射线衍射和X光电子能谱等手段进行表征,评估了其在碱性电解液中用于喹喔啉电化学转移氢化的性能.结果表明,MoNi4电极加速了动力学缓慢的Volmer步骤,在仅50 mV的过电势下以80％的法拉第效率实现了喹喔啉的电化学氢化.电子顺磁共振等证实水电解生成了H*,并与喹喔啉自由基阴离子偶联实现喹喔啉的氢化.同时,该电化学转移氢化方法可很好地应用于一系列喹喔啉衍生物和其他氮杂芳烃化合物.克级合成体现了该电化学转移氢化方法的潜在应用性.原位拉曼实验结果表明,在MoNi4表面形成的NiOOH是实现1,2,3,4-四氢喹喔啉氧化脱氢的重要物种.此外,以D2O代替H2O,可以较好的收率和高达99％的氘化率实现氘代氮杂环的合成.与传统的氮杂环氢化方法相比,本文的电化学转移氢化策略具有绿色、温和、高效的特点,同时拓宽了电化学氢化在合成化学中的应用.
