Chiral fluorous phosphorus ligands based on the binaphthyl skeleton: synthesis and applications in asymmetric catalysis

Two enantiopure fluorous phosphines have been conveniently synthesized by combining palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions of easily available binaphthyl building-blocks with the introduction of fluorous ponytails onto aromatic compounds via ether bond formation. These new fluorous chiral phosphines have been tested as ligands in metal-catalyzed asymmetric transformations, the best results being obtained in the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution of 1,3-diphenyl-2-propenyl acetate affording the products of up to 87% e.e.     

The first chiral organometallic triangle for asymmetric catalysis

A family of chiral organometallic triangles based on cis-Pt(PEt3)2 metallocorners and enantiopure atropisomeric bis(alkynyl) bridging ligands (L1-4) has been synthesized and characterized by 1H, 13C{1H}, and 31P{1H} NMR, UV-vis, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies, FAB and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, and microanalysis. Metallocycle 4 which contains three 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol functionalities in combination with Ti(iOPr)4 has been shown to be an excellent catalyst for highly enantioselective additions of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes to afford chiral secondary alcohols. This research illustrates the potential of generating novel functional materials on the basis of supramolecular chemistry.     

New class of chiral ligands derived from isosorbide: first application in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation

A new class of β-amino alcohol and diamine ligands was prepared from isosorbide as a chiral renewable resource. The original wedge-shaped structure of isosorbide offers an interesting chiral pocket to promote the metal-catalyzed enantioselective reduction of ketones by transfer hydrogenation.     

Synthesis of chiral cyclohexane-backbone P,N-ligands derived from pyridine and their applications in asymmetric catalysis

P,N-ligands trans-4 and cis-5 with a cyclohexane backbone were easily synthesized. The key step was chiral resolution of (±)-trans-2-pyridylcyclohexanols with DBTA. Enantiopure trans isomer was subjected to Mitsunobu reaction and deprotection to give the corresponding cis isomer. These ligands have been successfully used in asymmetric hydrogenation of arylalkenes with up to 93% ee using 5 and 90% ee using 4 and asymmetric allylic alkylations with up to 95% ee using 5 and 93% ee using 4. Trans and cis P,N-ligands 4 and 5 all gave the product with the same configuration. It was suggested that the absolute configuration of the product was controlled by the configuration of the stereogenic pyridyl-bearing carbon of the ligands.     

Chiral aldehyde catalysis: a highly promising concept in asymmetric catalysis

The development of new concepts and catalysts to enable the creation of efficient synthetic methods has been a longstanding activity in this field.

The first example of enamine-Lewis acid cooperative bifunctional catalysis: application to the asymmetric aldol reaction

(-)-Sparteine directed lithiation of N-Boc-pyrrolidine, alkylation with chloromethylboronate pinacol ester and acid-based deprotection provides homoboroproline HX salt in 94% ee, which is then an efficient enamine-type pyrrolidine catalyst in an asymmetric aldol reaction when neutralised and especially when esterified in situ with a tartrate ester, for example, providing 90% ee of the aldol adduct derived from acetone and p-nitrobenzaldehyde.     

Photolysis of 7-(2,4,6-trialkylphenyl-)7-phosphanorbornene 7-oxides in the presence of protic species

Irradiation of 7-(2,4,6-trialkylphenyl-)7-phosphanorbornene 7-oxides at 254 nm in the presence of alcohols or water led to H-phosphinic acid derivatives. The experimental data are consistent with the mechanism established earlier for P-phenyl derivatives, involving a five-coordinate adduct from the interaction of the phosphanorbornene and the protic species which then fragments. There is no evidence that the langer substituent allowed a competing reaction to occur where the first step is unimolecular fragmentation to a two-coordinate phosphoryl species. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Acid-base catalysis in zeolites from first principles

Zeolite materials are microporous aluminosilicates with various uses, including acting as important catalysts in many processes. One such process is the methanol to gasoline reaction, used widely in industry. This reaction is known to be associated with Brønsted acid sites in the zeolite, formed when Si is substituted by Al in the framework, with an associated H⁺ being bound nearby to maintain charge neutrality. However, it is not clear exactly what role the proton plays in this reaction. Because of the large unit cell (generally 50-300 atoms, depending on the particular zeolite) of such structures, most ab initio calculations of these materials have focused on studying small clusters representing just a portion of the framework. However, by choosing the chabazite zeolite structure, which has only 36 atoms in the primitive unit cell, we have been able to perform a full periodic ab initio calculation. This has used density functional theory with a generalized gradient approximation for the exchange-correlation energy, a plane-wave basis set, and norm-conserving optimized pseudopotentials. Using these methods we have examined the geometry and electronic structure of a zeolite acid site and considered one way in which a methanol molecule may bind to such a site. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

New chiral ferrocenyloxazolines: The first planar chiral triferrocenylmethane derivative and its use in asymmetric catalysis

New planar chiral enantiopure ferrocenyloxazolines have been prepared including ferrocenyldiphenylmethanol, diferrocenylphenylmethanol and triferrocenylmethanol derivatives (S,pR)-10 - (S,pR)-12, the latter being the first chiral triferrocenylmethanol derivative. The ferrocenyldiphenylmethanol derivative (S,pR)-10 has been crystallographically characterized. Asymmetric ethylation of some arylaldehydes using diethylzinc in the presence of the planar chiral triferrocenylmethanol derivative (S,pR)-12 afforded good yields and ees, which were higher than those obtained with related ferrocenyloxazolines.

Dendrimeric phosphines in asymmetric catalysis

Dendrimers are hyperbranched nanosized and precisely defined molecules, attracting increasing attention each year due to their numerous properties in catalysis, materials science, and biology. This tutorial review concerns the use of dendrimers as catalysts and focuses more precisely on their properties as enantioselective catalysts. Emphasis is put on chiral phosphine complexes constituting the core or the end groups of various types of dendrimers. The effect of the location of the catalytic entities, the effect of the size (generation) and the nature of the dendritic skeleton on the enantiomeric excesses are discussed.     

NMR elucidation of some ligands derived from the pentacycloundecane skeleton

The complete NMR elucidation of three novel pentacycloundecane (PCU)-derived ligands is reported. 2D NMR techniques are used to overcome the problem of major overlapping of methine signals on the cage skeleton. The compounds were synthesized as potential ligands to be used in asymmetric catalysis. They represent the first instance where aromatic moieties have been attached directly to the cage skeleton using lithiation techniques. The X-ray crystal structure of one of the ligands was obtained. The X-ray structure was helpful in determining the potential NOESY interactions within the set of molecules. For the other ligands a high level Density Functional Theory (DFT) optimization was performed [B3LYP/6-31+g(d)] to visualize possible NOE interactions.

Dimeric self-assembling capsules derived from the highly flexible tribenzylamine skeleton

Tris(m-ureidobenzyl)amines dimerize both in solid state and in solution to give molecular capsules which are able to encapsulate small molecules. The self-assembly was confirmed by crystal X-ray analysis and NMR spectroscopy. The X-ray structure showed the encapsulation of one molecule of CH(2)Cl(2). This new type of capsules presents a propeller-like topology and a belt of six hydrogen-bonded ureas. Encapsulation studies in solution and heterodimerization processes are also disclosed.     

Chiral phosphine-phosphoramidite ligands in asymmetric catalysis

Chiral phosphine-phosphoramidite ligands, featuring ready availability, easy modification, and stability towards air and moisture, have recently emerged as a new kind of robust ligands for asymmetric catalysis. They have been found to display wide utilities in various catalytic asymmetric reactions, giving excellent enantioselectivities in the Rh-, Ru-, and Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of C?C, C?O, and C?N double bonds; Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydroformylation; Pd-catalyzed asymmetric hydrophosphorylation; Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation; Ag-catalyzed asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloaddition; and Cu-catalyzed conjugate addition and reduction. In this review, the progress on the development of chiral phosphine-phosphoramidite ligands in asymmetric catalysis has been summarized.     

Chiral allene-containing phosphines in asymmetric catalysis

We demonstrate that allenes, chiral 1,2-dienes, appended with basic functionality can serve as ligands for transition metals. We describe an allene-containing bisphosphine that, when coordinated to Rh(I), promotes the asymmetric addition of arylboronic acids to α-keto esters with high enantioselectivity. Solution and solid-state structural analysis reveals that one olefin of the allene can coordinate to transition metals, generating bi- and tridentate ligands.

Recent advances in asymmetric phase-transfer catalysis

The use of chiral nonracemic onium salts and crown ethers as effective phase-transfer catalysts have been studied intensively primarily for enantioselective carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions under mild biphasic conditions. An essential issue for optimal asymmetric catalysis is the rational design of catalysts for targeted reaction, which allows generation of a well-defined chiral ion pair that reacts with electrophiles in a highly efficient and stereoselective manner. This concept, together with the synthetic versatility of phase-transfer catalysis, provides a reliable and general strategy for the practical asymmetric synthesis of highly valuable organic compounds.
