Synthesis of novel thiophene‐based chiral ligands and their application in asymmetric Henry reaction

Novel chiral thiolated amino alcohols were synthesized from norephedrine and thiophene carbaldehydes (methyl‐ or ethyl‐substituted) and applied to the catalytic asymmetric Henry reaction of various aldehydes with nitromethane to provide β‐hydroxy nitroalkanols in high conversion (92%). The reaction was optimized in terms of the metal, solvent, temperature and amount of chiral ligand. The corresponding catalyst with Cu(OTf)₂ and 2‐propanol as the solvent provided the best enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee) of the corresponding nitroalcohols for aliphatic aldehydes.

Synthesis of chiral 1,3-diamines derived from cis-2-benzamidocyclohexanecarboxylic acid and their application in the Cu-catalyzed enantioselective Henry reaction

In this study, 13 different chiral 1,3-diamines were synthesized from (-)-cis-2-benzamidocyclohexanecarboxylic acid. They were successfully applied as ligands in the Cu-catalyzed asymmetric Henry reaction between benzaldehyde and nitromethane. It was confirmed that the enantioselectivity of the product could be controlled by the substituents on the two amino groups. A time-course study revealed a decrease in product enantioselectivity caused by spontaneous retro-Henry reaction, which was suppressed by conducting the reaction at 0 °C. This versatile reaction afforded various β-nitroalcohols in excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 98% yield, 91% enantiomeric excess) under the optimized reaction conditions. The chiral induction mechanism was explained on the basis of a previously proposed transition-state model.

Synthesis of novel chiral compounds of purine and pyrimidine bases

The physiologically active groups such as purine and pyrimidine bases are introduced to the asymmetric ynthesis. The optically pure compounds bearing purine and pyrimidine bases (5a—5e) were prepared via the asymetric Michael addition reaction of purines and pyrimidines as Michael donators with the chiral source 5-(R)-[(1R, 2S, 5R)-menthyloxy]-2(5H)-furanone (3a), which was prepared from the natural chiral auxiliary (-)-menthol. The synthetic method was studied in detail and the new compounds were identified on the basis of their analytical data and spectroscopic data, such as [α]_D~(20), IR, UV, ~1H NMR, ~(13)C NMR and MS. The absolute configuration of 5a was established by X-ray crystallography. The results provided an efficient synthetic route to chiral purines and pyrimidine analogues, and offered chiral sources for further research on the physiologically active compounds of chiral nucleotides.

Novel chiral thiazoline‐containing N―O ligands in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes: substituent effect on the enantioselectivity

Several novel chiral thiazoline primary and tertiary alcohols were easily synthesized from commercially available l ‐cysteine in three steps and with high yield. These ligands were subsequently applied to the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc (Et₂Zn) to various aldehydes. Products with S configuration were obtained when thiazoline‐containing tertiary alcohol ligands were used as catalysts. The primary alcohol induced corresponding products with R configuration in 68% enantiomeric excess, which was a higher value relative to other N―O ligands possessing a primary alcohol unit in the literature. Furthermore, a plausible transition state model was proposed to explain the observed enantioselectivities. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Recent applications of chiral ferrocene ligands in asymmetric catalysis

Despite the impressive progress achieved in asymmetric catalysis during the last decade, an increasing number of new catalysts, ligands, and applications are reported every year to satisfy the need to embrace a wider range of reactions and to improve the efficiency of existing processes. Because of their availability, unique stereochemical aspects, and wide variety of coordination modes and possibilities for the fine-tuning of the steric and electronic properties, ferrocene-based ligands constitute one of the most versatile ligand architectures in the current scenario of asymmetric catalysis. Over the last few years ferrocene catalysts have been successfully applied in an amazing variety of enantioselective processes. This Review documents these recent advances, with special emphasis on the most innovative asymmetric processes and the development of novel, efficient types of ferrocene ligands.
