Spectroscopic characterizations of key reaction intermediates are often considered the final confirmation of a reaction mechanism. This proof-of-principle study showcases the application of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy for the characterization of in situ generated reaction intermediates using the key intermediates of enamine catalysis of Jørgensen–Hayashi-type prolinol ether catalysts as model system. By comparison of experimental and computed spectra, the enamines are shown to preferentially adopt an anti-conformation with E-configured C=C bond. For the parent prolinol catalyst, the structure and stereochemistry of the oxazolidine side product is determined as well. This study thus demonstrates that VCD spectra can provide insights into structural preferences of organocatalysts that utilize a covalent activation mechanism. Thereby it outlines new fields of applications for VCD spectroscopy and finally adds the technique to the toolbox of physical organic chemistry for in-depth mechanistic studies. 相似文献

Ionic interactions are increasingly appreciated as a key, asymmetry‐inducing factor in enantioselective catalytic transformations, including those involving Brønsted acid or base catalysis, phase‐transfer catalysis, and related processes. However, a detailed understanding of these interactions is often lacking. Herein, we show how an enantiopure anion enforces a chiral conformation onto a catalytically relevant achiral cation. Specifically, we use vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy to monitor the transmission of stereochemical information from a chiral phosphate anion to a flexible manganese(III)–salen cation. We show that VCD can be used to study solvent effects and that the obtained chiroptical data directly and quantitatively correlate with the experimentally observed enantioselectivity in an asymmetric olefin epoxidation reaction. 相似文献

A diastereo‐ and highly enantioselective dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of configurationally labile heterobiaryl ketones is described. The DKR proceeds by zinc‐catalyzed hydrosilylation of the carbonyl group, thus leading to secondary alcohols bearing axial and central chirality. The strategy relies on the labilization of the stereogenic axis that takes place thanks to a Lewis acid–base interaction between a nitrogen atom in the heterocycle and the ketone carbonyl group. The synthetic utility of the methodology is demonstrated through stereospecific transformations into either N,N‐ligands or appealing axially chiral, bifunctional thiourea organocatalysts. 相似文献

The origin of stereoselectivity in the (3+2) annulation of allenes and enones catalyzed by an amino acid derived phosphine catalyst has been investigated by the use of dispersion‐corrected density functional theory. An intermolecular hydrogen bond between the intermediate zwitterion and the enone was found to be the key interaction in the two enantiomeric transition states. Additional stabilization is provided by intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding interactions between acidic positions on the catalyst backbone and the substrate. Enantioselectivity occurs because the intermolecular hydrogen bond in the transition state leading to the minor enantiomer is only possible at the expense of reactant distortion. 相似文献

A single chiral octahedral iridium(III) complex is used for visible light activated asymmetric photoredox catalysis. In the presence of a conventional household lamp and under an atmosphere of air, the oxidative coupling of 2‐acyl‐1‐phenylimidazoles with N,N‐diaryl‐N‐(trimethylsilyl)methylamines provides aminoalkylated products in 61–93 % yields with high enantiomeric excess (90–98 % ee). Notably, the iridium center simultaneously serves three distinct functions: as the exclusive source of chirality, as the catalytically active Lewis acid, and as a central part of the photoredox sensitizer. This conceptionally simple reaction Scheme may provide new avenues for the green synthesis of non‐racemic chiral molecules. 相似文献

Supramolecular capsules can be used to change the activity and selectivity of a catalyst through the influence of the second coordination sphere, reminiscent of how enzymes control the selectivity of their processes. In enzymes, this approach is used to also control the enantioselectivity of reactions in which the active catalytic site is often not chiral but the second coordination sphere is. We are interested in the possibility to generate a chiral second coordination sphere around an otherwise achiral transition metal complex for asymmetric catalysis. In this paper we show that the ligand template approach can be used to generate a chiral second coordination sphere around a rhodium complex, which is used in asymmetric hydroformylation. 相似文献

Despite versatile applications of functionalized graphene in catalysis, applications of pure, unfunctionalized graphene in catalysis are in their infancy. This work uses both computational and experimental approaches to show that single-layer graphene can efficiently catalyze the racemization of axially chiral BINOL in solution. Using double-hybrid density functional theory (DHDFT) we calculate the uncatalyzed and catalyzed Gibbs free reaction barrier heights in a number of representative solvents of varying polarity: benzene, diphenyl ether, dimethylformamide (DMF), and water. These calculations show that (i) graphene can achieve significant catalytic efficiencies (▵▵G≠cat) varying between 47.2 (in diphenyl ether) and 60.7 (in DMF) kJ mol−1. An energy decomposition analysis reveals that this catalytic activity is driven by electrostatic and dispersion interactions. Based on these computational results, we explore the graphene-catalyzed racemization of axially chiral BINOL experimentally and show that single-layer graphene can efficiently catalyze this process. Whilst the uncatalyzed racemization requires high temperatures of over 200 °C, a pristine single-layer graphene catalyst makes it accessible at 60 °C. 相似文献

For over half a century, transition-metal-catalyzed homogeneous hydrogenation has been mainly focused on neutral and readily prepared unsaturated substrates. Although the addition of molecular hydrogen to C=C, C=N, and C=O bonds represents a well-studied paradigm, the asymmetric hydrogenation of cationic species remains an underdeveloped area. In this study, we were seeking a breakthrough in asymmetric hydrogenation, with cationic intermediates as targets, and thereby anticipating applying this powerful tool to the construction of challenging chiral molecules. Under acidic conditions, both N- or O-acetylsalicylamides underwent cyclization to generate cationic intermediates, which were subsequently reduced by an iridium or rhodium hydride complex. The resulting N,O-acetals were synthesized with remarkably high enantioselectivity. This catalytic strategy exhibited high efficiency (turnover number of up to 4400) and high chemoselectivity. Mechanistic studies supported the hypothesis that a cationic intermediate was formed in situ and hydrogenated afterwards. A catalytic cycle has been proposed with hydride transfer from the iridium complex to the cationic sp2 carbon atom being the rate-determining step. A steric map of the catalyst has been created to illustrate the chiral environment, and a quantitative structure–selectivity relationship analysis showed how enantiomeric induction was achieved in this chemical transformation. 相似文献

The observation of the active species is the goal of most spectroscopic investigations on enantioselective organocatalysts in solution. Although NMR spectroscopy is widely applied, it has low sensitivity for conformational changes or the chiral nature of the interactions. In the present work, we exemplify the use of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy for the characterization of a chiral thiourea model compound in nonpolar and polar solvents, as well as for a detailed analysis of its interaction with a model reactant. We discuss solvent‐induced conformational changes of the thiourea, and provide evidence for an unexpected binding topology between the thiourea and an acetate anion. The results clearly showcase the possibilities offered by using VCD spectroscopy in the characterization of chiral organocatalysts. 相似文献

Axially chiral indole-based frameworks have been recognized as a class of important five-membered heterobiaryls and developing catalytic asymmetric approaches for constructing these frameworks in an enantioselective manner is highly desirable. In recent years, synthetic chemists have paid much attention to this research field, and rapid developments have occurred. At this point, a range of axially chiral indole-based scaffolds have been constructed via various catalytic asymmetric reactions based on different strategies. Thus, the catalytic asymmetric construction of axially chiral indole-based frameworks has become an emerging area. This minireview summarizes the rapid advances in this field and gives some insights into future developments, which will help this research field to thrive. 相似文献

Threefold symmetrical chiral podands may simplify the stereochemistry of key catalytic intermediates for cases in which they only act as bidentate ligands. This applies to systems in which chemical exchange between the different kappa2-coordinated forms takes place and in which the non-coordinated sidearm may play a direct or indirect role at some earlier or later stage in the catalytic cycle. Palladium(II)-catalysed allylic substitutions provide appropriate test reactions along these lines. A series of neutral dichloropalladium(II) complexes, [PdCl2(iPr-trisox)] (1a), [PdCl2(Ph-trisox)] (1b), [PdCl2(Bn-trisox)] (1c) and [PdCl2(Ind-trisox)] (1d) (trisox=1,1,1-tris(oxazolinyl)ethane) were synthesised by reaction of the respective trisox derivative with [PdCl2(PhCN)2] and characterised inter alia by 15N NMR spectroscopy. Direct detection of the heteronuclei without isotope enrichment and with "normal" sample concentrations was achieved with the aid of a cryogenically cooled NMR probe on a 600 MHz NMR spectrometer. Whereas the 15N nuclei of the coordinated oxazoline rings resonate at delta=160-167 ppm and appear as two singlets due to their diastereotopicity, the signal assigned to the dangling oxazoline "arm" is observed at delta=238-240 ppm. Variable-temperature NMR studies along with a systematic series of magnetisation transfer experiments established exchange between ligating and non-ligating oxazoline rings. Reaction of [Pd(allyl)(cod)]BF4 (cod=cyclooctadiene) with Ph-trisox in CH(2)Cl(2) gave the corresponding allyl complex 2, for which fast exchange between the three oxazoline heterocycles as well as between the exo and endo diastereomers was observed along with a very slow eta3-eta1-eta3 process of the allyl fragment (magnetisation transfer). Palladium(0) complexes were prepared by reaction of trisox derivatives or sidearm-functionalised BOX (BOX=bis(oxazolinyl)dimethylmethane) ligands with [Pd(nbd)(alkene)] (nbd=norbornadiene, alkene=maleic anhydride or tetracyanoethylene). X-ray diffraction studies of the iPr-trisox and Ph-trisox complexes (3a and 3b) established Y-shaped trigonal planar coordination geometries with the trisox ligand coordinated in a bidentate fashion, whilst the pi-coordinated maleic anhydride ligand adopts one of the two possible diastereotopic orientations. As the catalytic test reaction, the allylic alkylation of 1,3-diphenylprop-2-enyl acetate substrate with dimethyl malonate as nucleophile (in the presence of N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide) was investigated for the trisox derivatives, their BOX analogues, and a series of less symmetric "sidearm" functionalised bisoxazolines. The trisoxazoline-based catalysts generally induce a better enantioselectivity compared to their bisoxazoline analogues and display significant reduction of the induction period as well as rate enhancement. 相似文献

Axial chirality is a prevalent and important phenomenon in chemistry. Herein we report a combination of dynamic covalent chemistry and axial chirality for the development of a versatile platform for the binding and chirality sensing of multiple classes of mononucleophiles. An equilibrium between an open aldehyde and its cyclic hemiaminal within biphenyl derivatives enabled the dynamic incorporation of a broad range of alcohols, thiols, primary amines, and secondary amines with high efficiency. Selectivity toward different classes of nucleophiles was also achieved by regulating the distinct reactivity of the system with external stimuli. Through induced helicity as a result of central‐to‐axial chirality transfer, the handedness and ee values of chiral monoalcohol and monoamine analytes were reported by circular dichroism. The strategies introduced herein should find application in many contexts, including assembly, sensing, and labeling. 相似文献

The ability of silver complexes to catalyse the enantioselective addition of O H and N H bonds to allenes is demonstrated for the first time by using optically active anionic ligands that were derived from oxophosphorus(V) acids as the sources of chirality. The intramolecular addition of acids, alcohols, and amines to allenes can be achieved with up to 73 % ee. The exploitation of a C H anomeric effect allowed the absolute configuration of a sample of 2-substituted tetrahydrofuran of low ee to be unambiguously assigned by comparison of the chiroptical ORD and VCD measurements with calculated spectra. In the second part of the work, the origin of the stereoselectivity was probed by DFT free-energy calculations of the transition states. A new model of enantiomeric differentiation was developed that was based on noncovalent interactions. This model allowed us to identify the source of stereoselectivity as weak attractive interactions; such dispersive forces are often overlooked in asymmetric catalysis. A new computational approach was developed that represents these interactions as colour-coded isosurfaces that are characterised by the reduced density-gradient profile. 相似文献
