Rational design of cyclopropane-based chiral PHOX ligands for intermolecular asymmetric Heck reaction.

ABSTRACT: A novel class of chiral phosphanyl-oxazoline (PHOX) ligands with a conformationally rigid cyclopropyl backbone was synthesized and tested in the intermolecular asymmetric Heck reaction. Mechanistic modelling and crystallographic studies were used to predict the optimal ligand structure and helped to design a very efficient and highly selective catalytic system. Employment of the optimized ligands in the asymmetric arylation of cyclic olefins allowed for achieving high enantioselectivities and significantly suppressing product isomerization. Factors affecting the selectivity and the rate of the isomerization were identified. It was shown that the nature of this isomerization is different from that demonstrated previously using chiral diphosphine ligands.

Asymmetric intermolecular boron Heck-type reactions via oxidative palladium(II) catalysis with chiral tridentate NHC-amidate-alkoxide ligands.

Project description:Chiral dimeric tridentate NHC-amidate-alkoxide palladium(II) complexes, 3a and 3b, effected oxidative boron Heck-type reactions of aryl boronic acids with both acyclic and cyclic alkenes at room temperature to afford the corresponding coupling products with high enantioselectivities. The high degree of enantioselection, far superior to existing methods, stems from differences in the nonbonding interactions in the proposed transition states, due to the influence from bulky substituents of the alkene substrates and the "counter axial groups" of the palladium(II) catalysts.

The Catalytic Asymmetric Intermolecular Prins Reaction.

Project description:Despite their significant potential, catalytic asymmetric reactions of olefins with formaldehyde are rare and metal-free approaches have not been previously disclosed. Here we describe an enantioselective intermolecular Prins reaction of styrenes and paraformaldehyde to form 1,3-dioxanes, using confined imino-imidodiphosphate (iIDP) Brønsted acid catalysts. Isotope labeling experiments and computations suggest a concerted, highly asynchronous addition of an acid-activated formaldehyde oligomer to the olefin. The enantioenriched 1,3-dioxanes can be transformed into the corresponding optically active 1,3-diols, which are valuable synthetic building blocks.

Rational design of a second generation catalyst for preparation of allylsilanes using the silyl-Heck reaction.

Project description:Using rational ligand design, we have developed of a second-generation ligand, bis(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)(tert-butyl)phosphine, for the preparation of allylsilanes using the palladium-catalyzed silyl-Heck reaction. This new ligand provides nearly complete suppression of starting material alkene isomerization that was observed with our first-generation catalyst, providing vastly improved yields of allylsilanes from simple alkene starting materials. The studies quantifying the electronic and steric properties of the new ligand are described. Finally, we report an X-ray crystal structure of a palladium complex resulting from the oxidative addition of Me3SiI using an analogous ligand that provides significant insight into the nature of the catalytic system.

Rational enzyme design for enabling biocatalytic Baldwin cyclization and asymmetric synthesis of chiral heterocycles.

Project description:Chiral heterocyclic compounds are needed for important medicinal applications. We report an in silico strategy for the biocatalytic synthesis of chiral N- and O-heterocycles via Baldwin cyclization modes of hydroxy- and amino-substituted epoxides and oxetanes using the limonene epoxide hydrolase from Rhodococcus erythropolis. This enzyme normally catalyzes hydrolysis with formation of vicinal diols. Firstly, the required shutdown of the undesired natural water-mediated ring-opening is achieved by rational mutagenesis of the active site. In silico enzyme design is then continued with generation of the improved mutants. These variants prove to be versatile catalysts for preparing chiral N- and O-heterocycles with up to 99% conversion, and enantiomeric ratios up to 99:1. Crystal structural data and computational modeling reveal that Baldwin-type cyclizations, catalyzed by the reprogrammed enzyme, are enabled by reshaping the active-site environment that directs the distal RHN and HO-substituents to be intramolecular nucleophiles.

Project description:A palladium-catalyzed intermolecular asymmetric Heck reaction with dihydrofurans with a trisubstituted double bond is reported. The use of two different chiral ligands provides access to valuable 2,3- and 2,5-dihydrofurans with a fully substituted C2 stereocenter with high levels of regio- and enantiocontrol.

Chiral Bronsted acid-controlled intermolecular asymmetric [2 + 2] photocycloadditions.

Project description:Control over the stereochemistry of excited-state photoreactions remains a significant challenge in organic synthesis. Recently, it has become recognized that the photophysical properties of simple organic substrates can be altered upon coordination to Lewis acid catalysts, and that these changes can be exploited in the design of highly enantioselective catalytic photoreactions. Chromophore activation strategies, wherein simple organic substrates are activated towards photoexcitation upon binding to a Lewis acid catalyst, rank among the most successful asymmetric photoreactions. Herein, we show that chiral Brønsted acids can also catalyze asymmetric excited-state photoreactions by chromophore activation. This principle is demonstrated in the context of a highly enantio- and diastereoselective [2+2] photocycloaddition catalyzed by a chiral phosphoramide organocatalyst. Notably, the cyclobutane products arising from this method feature a trans-cis stereochemistry that is complementary to other enantioselective catalytic [2+2] photocycloadditions reported to date.

Transition State Force Field for the Asymmetric Redox-Relay Heck Reaction.

Project description:A transition state force field (TSFF) was developed using the quantum-guided molecular mechanics (Q2MM) method to describe the stereodetermining migratory insertion step of the enantioselective redox-relay Heck reaction for a range of multisubstituted alkenes. We show that the TSFF is highly predictive through an external validation of the TSFF against 151 experimentally determined stereoselectivities resulting in an R2 of 0.89 and MUE of 1.8 kJ/mol. In addition, limitations in the underlying force field were identified by comparison of the TSFF results to DFT level calculations. A novel application of the TSFF was demonstrated for 31 cases where the enantiomer predicted by the TSFF differed from the originally published values. Experimental determination of the absolute configuration demonstrated that the computational predictions were accurate, suggesting that TSFFs can be used for the rapid prediction of the absolute stereochemistry for a class of reactions. Finally, a virtual ligand screen was conducted utilizing both the TSFF and a simple molecular correlation method. Both methods were similarly predictive, but the TSFF was able to show greater utility through transferability, speed, and interpretability.

Catalytic asymmetric intermolecular Stetter reaction of glyoxamides with alkylidenemalonates.

Project description:An asymmetric intermolecular Stetter reaction of glyoxamide and alkylidenemalonates has been developed. Catalyzed by a novel N-heterocyclic carbene, the Stetter adducts are formed in good yield and excellent enantioselectivity. The presence of a sensitive epimerizable stereocenter is tolerated under these mildly basic reaction conditions if a bulky amine base is used. The products may be further elaborated to provide synthetically useful intermediates.

Rational Design and Synthesis of [5]Helicene-Derived Phosphine Ligands and Their Application in Pd-Catalyzed Asymmetric Reactions.

Project description:A series of novel optically active [5]helicene-derived phosphine ligands (L1, with a 7,8-dihydro[5]helicene core structure- and L2, with a fully aromatic [5]helicene core structure) were synthesized. Despite their structural similarities, L1 and L2 exhibit particularly different characteristics in their use as chiral ligands. L1 was highly effective in the asymmetric allylation of indoles with 1,3-diphenylallyl acetate (up to 99% ee), and in the etherification of alcohols (up to 96% ee). In contrast, L2 was highly effective in the stereocontrol of helical chirality in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling (SMC) reaction (up to 99% ee). Density functional theory analysis was employed to propose a model that accounts for the origin of the enantioselectivity in these reactions.

Helically chiral polymers: a class of ligands for asymmetric catalysis.

Project description:Helically chiral polymers from achiral monomers containing N and P atoms have been shown to be ligands for transition metals such as Pd and Rh. The Rh complex of the phosphane-containing polyisocyanate p(18-co-17) was an active albeit hardly enantioselective catalyst in the asymmetric hydrogenation of the dehydro amino acid N-acetamidocinnamic acid (15% enantiomeric excess). The most active catalyst obtained until now was the Pd-complexed polymethacrylate Pd-p12, which catalyzes the allylic substitution reaction of 1,3-diphenylprop-2-enyl acetate with dimethyl malonate even at -20 degrees C in quantitative yield, although again the enantioselectivity was unsatisfactory. The most successful application of a helically chiral polymer in asymmetric catalysis with respect to both reactivity and enantioselectivity is the polymethacrylate p(5-co-8). Its palladium complex catalyzes the above-mentioned reaction at 0 degrees C with quantitative yield and 60% enantiomeric excess.
