A facile synthesis and the asymmetric catalytic activity of BINOL-based thiazole (thiadiazole) thioether ligands

Four new BINOL-based thiazole (thiadiazole) thioether ligands (S)-1, (S)-2, (S,S)-3 and (S)-4 were prepared. When their catalytic effectiveness was tested, good results (up to 93% ee and 97% yield) were obtained in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes while poor results were obtained in the asymmetric conjugate addition of diethylzinc to enones.     

ALD of ZnO using diethylzinc as metal-precursor and oxygen as oxidizing agent

We report on ZnO atomic layer deposition (ALD) with a precursor combination of diethylzinc as metal-precursor and pure oxygen (O₂) as oxidant as an alternative to H₂O as oxygen precursor. The temperature region of self-limiting ALD growth (ALD window) is determined and shows an increase in growth rate of about 60% compared to water as oxygen-precursor. Finally, in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and synchrotron-radiation photoelectron spectroscopy (SR-PES) have been used to analyze the initial growth and film properties of ALD-ZnO deposited in monolayer steps using both precursor combinations.     

Chiral diethylzinc complexes with diamine ligands: synthesis, crystal structure and enantioselective solvent-free alkylation

In search for conglomerates of stereochemically labile organometallic reagents, three new complexes between diethylzinc and diamine ligands have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Ligands include N,N,N′,N′-tetraethylethylenediamine (teeda), N-isopropyl-N,N′,N′-trimethylethylenediamine (itmeda), and (−)-sparteine (spa). Diethylzinc forms monomeric complexes, exhibiting a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry around zinc in all three complexes, viz. [ZnEt₂(teeda)] (1), [ZnEt₂(itmeda)] (2), and [ZnEt₂(spa)] (3). Both 1 and 2 are stereochemically labile and exhibit chiral complexes, displaying different types of conformational chirality, but they form racemic crystals. By using the chiral crystals of 3 in a nucleophilic addition to benzaldehyde in the absence of solvent at low temperature, an increase in ee from approximately 8 to 10% was obtained (compared to the same reaction in solution). It thus seems feasible, not only to retain the enantioselectivity obtained in solution, but perhaps even to increase the ee by using solventless reactions.     

Asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes by chiral ferrocene-based catalysts

A series of chiral C₁- and C₂-symmetric ferrocenyl Schiff bases (1a-c), ferrocenyl aminoalcohols (2a), ferrocenylphosphinamides (2b-c), 1,1′-ferrocenyl-diol (3), and 1,1′-ferrocenyl-disulfonamide (4) were prepared and employed as base catalysts or as ligand for titanium(IV) complexes in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes. High enantioselectivity up to almost 100% ee was achieved for the alkylation of benzaldehyde and p-methoxybenzaldehyde with 1 or 3. In contrast, however, the β-aminoalcohol (2a) and phosphinamides (2b and c) that are ubiquitous classes of base catalysts for this reaction proved inefficient in our hands, regardless of the types of substrates or reaction conditions. Comparative studies show that there exist various reaction parameters governing not only chemical yields but also optical yields. These include steric and electronic environment of the substrate, the solvent, the reaction temperature, and the nature of the ferrocene moieties.     

Chiral zinc amidate catalyzed additions of diethylzinc to aldehydes

A series of bifunctional spiro ligands bearing “carboxamide–phosphine oxide” groups and ethylzinc carboxamidates from these ligands as catalysts for Et₂Zn additions to aldehydes were reported. Excellent yields were obtained with moderate ee′s in Et₂Zn additions to benzaldehyde derivatives, implying effectiveness of our newly designed catalytic structures as well as mediocre stereocontrol by these chiral ligands. Possible transition states were suggested based on the crystal structures of two ligands.     

Enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to N-diphenylphosphinoylimines employing cinchonidine and cinchonine as chiral ligands

The use of the `pseudoenantiomeric pair' of cinchonine and cinchonidine as ligands for the addition of diethylzinc to N-diphenylphosphinoylimines has been investigated. With 1 equiv of cinchonidine as ligand, a series of chiral amines was prepared in good yield and enantiomeric excesses of up to 94%. The use of 2.0 equiv of methanol as an achiral additive was found significantly to improve the selectivity of the addition when using 0.2 equiv of ligand, yielding ee's close to those obtained with a stoichiometric amount of ligand.     

Rhodium-catalyzed Reformatsky-type reaction for asymmetric synthesis of difluoro-β-lactams using menthyl group as a chiral auxiliary

We developed a new methodology for the asymmetric Reformatsky-type reaction of (−)-menthyl bromodifluoroacetate (2) with imine in the presence of RhCl(PPh₃)₃. Ester 2 with the cost-effective chiral auxiliary gave (S)-difluoro-β-lactams in moderate to good yields and high diastereoselectivities through spontaneous removal of the auxiliary.
