Acid-base catalysis of chiral Pd complexes: development of novel catalytic asymmetric reactions and their application to synthesis of drug candidates

Using the unique character of the chiral Pd complexes 1 and 2, highly efficient catalytic asymmetric reactions have been developed. In contrast to conventional Pd(0)-catalyzed reactions, these complexes function as an acid-base catalyst. Thus active methine and methylene compounds were activated to form chiral palladium enolates, which underwent enantioselective carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions such as Michael reaction and Mannich-type reaction with up to 99% ee. Interestingly, these palladium enolates acted cooperatively with a strong protic acid, formed concomitantly during the formation of the enolates to activate electrophiles, thereby promoting the C-C bond-forming reaction. This palladium enolate chemistry was also applicable to electrophilic enantioselective fluorination reactions, and various carbonyl compounds including beta-ketoesters, beta-ketophosphonates, tert-butoxycarbonyl lactone/lactams, cyanoesters, and oxindole derivatives could be fluorinated in a highly enantioselective manner (up to 99% ee). Using this method, the catalytic enantioselective synthesis of BMS-204352, a promising anti-stroke agent, was achieved. In addition, the direct enantioselective conjugate addition of aromatic and aliphatic amines to alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compound was successfully demonstrated. In this reaction, combined use of the Pd complex 2 having basic character and the amine salt was the key to success, allowing controlled generation of the nucleophilic free amine. This aza-Michael reaction was successfully applied to asymmetric synthesis of the CETP inhibitor torcetrapib.     

Crystal structure of chiral binaphthol lanthanide complexes and their catalysis in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone

Heterometallic [(THF)₂Na]₃[Ln(R‐Binolate)₃(H₂O)] [Ln = Sm ( 1 ) and Gd ( 2 )] has been synthesized by the reactions of either LnCl₃ or LnBr₃ with 3 equiv. Na(R‐HBinolate) and characterized by X‐ray crystallographic analysis. Structural analyses proposed that 1 and 2 are isomorphous complexes, crystallizing in the hexagonal space group P6₃ with C₃ symmetry. The coordination geometry of the lanthanide ions in 1 and 2 can be best approximated as a mono‐capped triangle antiprism. When complexes 1 and 2 were employed as catalysts in the Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley (MPV) reactions of acetophenone, the S‐phenylethanol was separated in 94 and 85% enantiomeric excess (e.e.) for 1 and 2 , respectively.

Synthesis of chiral iridium complexes immobilized on amphiphilic polymers and their application to asymmetric catalysis

This article details the enantioselective catalytic performance of crosslinked, polymer immobilized, Ir‐based, chiral complexes for transfer hydrogenation of cyclic imines to chiral amines. Polymerization of the achiral vinyl monomer, divinylbenzene, and a polymerizable chiral 1,2‐diamine monosulfonamide ligand followed by complexation with [IrCl₂Cp*]₂ affords the crosslinked polymeric chiral complex, which can be successfully applied to asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of cyclic imines. Polymeric catalysts prepared from amphiphilic achiral monomers have high catalytic activity in the reaction and can be used both in organic solvents and water to give chiral cyclic amines with a high level of enantioselectivity (up to 98% ee). The asymmetric reaction allows for reuse of the heterogeneous catalyst without any loss in activity or enantioselectivity over several runs. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Design and application of linked-BINOL chiral ligands in bifunctional asymmetric catalysis

The design and application of linked-BINOLs investigated in our group are reviewed. Linked-BINOLs are a kind of semi-crown ether, thus they are flexible and applicable to metals having various ionic radii (Ga3+, Li+, Zn2+, In3+, La3+, and Y3+). The flexible linker segment, containing a coordinative heteroatom, has a crucial role in the construction of a unique and effective chiral environment that is not accessible from BINOL itself. Applications of linked-BINOLs to an epoxide opening reaction, Michael reactions, a direct aldol reaction, direct Michael reactions of a hydroxyketone, and direct Mannich-type reactions of hydroxyketones and N-acylpyrrole are described.     

Pyroglutamate-derived hydroxyamide ligands: synthesis and application to asymmetric catalysis

The synthesis of a series of chiral hydroxy amide ligands is described. These ligands were used in a ruthenium-catalysed transfer hydrogenation reaction where one ligand gave the product in 72% ee. The ligands were also used in two titanium-catalysed reactions, an alkylation where ee’s of up to 74% were achieved and a phenyl acetylene addition where more modest selectivities were observed.     

Self-assembly of achiral and chiral macrocyclic ligands: synthesis,protonation constants,conformation and asymmetric catalysis

New 30-membered achiral and chiral polyaza macrocyclic ligands, L1 and L2 were synthesized directly from [3 + 3] condensation of phthalic dicarboxaldehyde with cis- and (1R,2R)-diaminocyclohexane, respectively. The trimeric macrocyclic structures were confirmed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Potentiometry was used to determine the protonation constants of the ligands. UV-vis spectrophotometric titration was employed to investigate the coordination and conformational properties of the chiral ligand (L2). Direct enantioselective aldol reaction has been successfully performed using 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and acetone in the presence of the chiral macrocycle and its zinc(II) complexes as catalysts.     

Developments in asymmetric catalysis by metal complexes of chiral chelating nitrogen-donor ligands

In part because of their straightforward and modular syntheses from readily available enantiopure starting materials, and their capacity to bind a wide variety of transition metals, chiral, chelating nitrogen-donor ligands have played a prominent role in asymmetric catalysis. A large number of highly enantioselective transformations rely upon these ligands whose reported classes are built around amine, imine, pyrrole, pyrrolidine, oxazoline and oxazolidine donor groups, among others. In this Perspective, we examine a selection of transformative developments in asymmetric catalysis by metal complexes of bi- and polydentate members of this ligand family. We describe approaches to ligand design and synthesis, structure and bonding in coordination complexes, and limitations and future challenges.     

Synthesis of novel chiral phosphinocyrhetrenyloxazoline ligands and their application in asymmetric catalysis

Several novel planar chiral phosphinocyrhetrenyloxazolines have been synthesized, and their catalytic activities have been evaluated in a variety of asymmetric catalytic reactions. Preferable effects as compared to their ferrocenyl analogues have been observed in asymmetric allylic amination and asymmetric hydrosilylation, and up to 97% ee and 72% ee were reached, respectively. The Lewis basicity of the phosphorus on the ferrocene and the cyrhetrene, which contributes to their different behavior in catalysis, has been deduced by 31P NMR spectroscopy analysis, as indicated by 1J(77Se-31P) in the corresponding phosphine selenides.     

Multiple catalysis with two chiral units: an additional dimension for asymmetric synthesis

This Minireview focuses on asymmetric reactions mediated by two distinct chiral catalysts (chiral multiple catalysis). Initially, this approach appears unconventional, but indeed it allows a fast multidimensional optimization and fine-tuning of the catalytic system required to perform a given transformation. Herein, this emerging concept is presented and its potential applications are highlighted.     

The development and application of chiral trisoxazolines in asymmetric catalysis and molecular recognition

The development of suitable ligands that upon coordination to a metal facilitate enantioselective reactions or are able to selectively recognize a molecule are fundamental endeavours in organic chemistry. Chiral ligands that contain one or two oxazoline groups have been extensively studied and applied successfully to many metal catalyzed reactions. Accordingly, the development and application of chiral trisoxazolines has received increasing attention in the last decade. This tutorial review covers the synthetic methods for the preparation of chiral trisoxazolines, the application of chiral trisoxazolines in asymmetric catalysis and molecular recognition.

Modular chiral bidentate phosphonites: design, synthesis, and application in catalytic asymmetric hydroformylation reactions

A new class of C(2)-symmetric chiral bidentate phosphonite ligands has been synthesized in moderate to good yields from readily available starting materials. Application of these air-stable chiral phosphonites in the Rh(I)-catalyzed asymmetric hydroformylation of styrene derivatives, vinyl acetate, and allyl cyanide afforded the corresponding chiral aldehydes with high regio- and enantioselectivities under mild reaction conditions. The modular nature of the ligands allows fine-tuning of the selectivities through judicious modifications of the substituents on the ligand backbone. X-ray structural analysis of the catalyst precursor suggested that the steric hindrance caused by the protruding remote substituents of the ligands into the vicinity of the metal center might be an important factor for the enantio-control of the reaction, whereas the sense of asymmetric induction can be rationalized on the basis of a trigonal-bipyramidal transition state diagram.     

Bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl transition metal complexes: synthesis, asymmetric catalysis, and coordination chemistry

Molecular catalysts for organic synthesis should be constructed to be tailored to target reactions and their desirable conditions. In our search for them, we have studied new types of transition metal molecular catalysts dressed with a tridentate N,C,N modular ligand, which consists of a C2-symmetric side-by-side phenyl group with chiral bis(oxazolinyl) substituents. The ligand, 2,6-bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl abbreviated as Phebox, can connect covalently to transition metals by the central carbon atom. Here, we review our recent work on the chemistry of Phebox and its metal complexes, including preparation, structural analysis, asymmetric Lewis acid catalysis, asymmetric hydrosilylation, asymmetric conjugate reduction, asymmetric reductive aldol reaction, and organometallic reactions.     

Imidazole-based potential Bi- and tridentate nitrogen ligands: synthesis, characterization and application in asymmetric catalysis

Twelve new imidazole-based potential bi- and tridentate ligands were synthesized and characterized. Whereas in the first series the alpha-amino acid and imidazole moieties were linked by an amino bond, in the second series the tridentate ligands, containing two imidazole groups, were separated by an amide bond. The first series was obtained by the reductive amination of 2-phenylimidazole-4-carboxaldehyde with alpha-amino acid esters. The tridentate ligands were prepared from 2-phenylimidazole-4-carboxylic acid and chiral amines. In the Henry reaction, the amines were revealed as a more reactive species than the less nucleophilic amides, however the enantiomeric excesses were generally poor.
