Lithium BINOL phosphate catalyzed desymmetrization of meso-epoxides with aromatic thiols.

ABSTRACT: A highly enantioselective method for desymmetrization of meso-epoxides using thiols is reported. This is the first example of epoxide activation achieved using metal BINOL phosphates. The reaction has a broad scope in terms of epoxide substrates and aromatic thiol nucleophiles. The resulting ?-hydroxyl sulfides are obtained in excellent yield and enantioselectivity.

A highly enantioselective method for desymmetrization of meso-epoxides using thiols is reported. This is the first example of epoxide activation achieved using metal BINOL phosphates. The reaction has a broad scope in terms of epoxide substrates and aromatic thiol nucleophiles. The resulting β-hydroxyl sulfides are obtained in excellent yield and enantioselectivity. ...[more]

Dual Nickel- and Photoredox-Catalyzed Enantioselective Desymmetrization of Cyclic meso-Anhydrides.

Project description:The enantioselective desymmetrization of cyclic meso-anhydrides with benzyl trifluoroborates under nickel-photoredox catalysis is described. The reaction tolerates a variety of sterically and electronically different trifluoroborates, as well as structurally unique cyclic anhydrides. The trans isomer of the keto-acid products is also observed at varying levels dependent on the trifluoroborate identity and relative catalyst loading. A mechanism involving decarbonylation and Ni-C bond homolysis of a NiII adduct is proposed. This feature allows access to a trans keto-acid as the major product in high enantioselectivity from a cis meso anhydride.

Desymmetrization of meso-Dibromocycloalkenes through Copper(I)-Catalyzed Asymmetric Allylic Substitution with Organolithium Reagents.

Project description:The highly regio- and enantioselective (up to >99:1 dr, up to 99:1 er) desymmetrization of meso-1,4-dibromocycloalk-2-enes using asymmetric allylic substitution with organolithium reagents to afford enantioenriched bromocycloalkenes (ring size of 5 to 7) has been achieved. The cycloheptene products undergo an unusual ring contraction. The synthetic versatility of this Cu(I)-catalyzed reaction is demonstrated by the concise stereocontrolled preparation of cyclic amino alcohols, which are privileged chiral structures in natural products and pharmaceuticals and widely used in synthesis and catalysis.

Allenes in asymmetric catalysis: asymmetric ring opening of meso-epoxides catalyzed by allene-containing phosphine oxides.

Project description:Unsymmetrically substituted allenes (1,2-dienes) are inherently chiral and can be prepared in optically pure form. Nonetheless, to date the allene framework has not been incorporated into ligands for asymmetric catalysis. Since allenes project functionality differently than either tetrahedral carbon or chiral biaryls, they may create complementary chiral environments. This study demonstrates that optically active, C(2)-symmetric allene-containing bisphosphine oxides can catalyze the addition of SiCl(4) to meso-epoxides with high enantioselectivity. The epoxide opening likely involves generation of a Lewis acidic, cationic (bisphosphine oxide)SiCl(3) complex. The fact that high asymmetric induction is observed suggests that allenes may represent a new platform for the development of ligands and catalysts for asymmetric synthesis.

Chiral magnesium BINOL phosphate-catalyzed phosphination of imines: access to enantioenriched ?-amino phosphine oxides.

Project description:A new method to synthesize chiral ?-amino phosphine oxides is reported. The reaction combines N-substituted imines and diphenylphosphine oxide and is catalyzed by a chiral magnesium phosphate salt. A wide variety of aliphatic and aromatic aldimines substituted by electron-neutral benzhydryl or dibenzocycloheptene groups were excellent substrates for the addition reaction. The dibenzocycloheptene protected imines afforded improved enantioselectivity in the resulting products. Substituted diphenylphosphine oxide nucleophiles also showed good reactivity.

Enantioselective cross-coupling of meso-epoxides with aryl halides.

Project description:The first enantioselective cross-electrophile coupling of aryl bromides with meso-epoxides to form trans-?-arylcycloalkanols is presented. The reaction is catalyzed by a combination of (bpy)NiCl2 and a chiral titanocene under reducing conditions. Yields range from 57 to 99% with 78-95% enantiomeric excess. The 30 examples include a variety of functional groups (ether, ester, ketone, nitrile, ketal, trifluoromethyl, sulfonamide, sulfonate ester), both aryl and vinyl halides, and five- to seven-membered rings. The intermediacy of a carbon radical is strongly suggested by the conversion of cyclooctene monoxide to an aryl [3.3.0]bicyclooctanol.

Desymmetrization of meso-bisphosphates using copper catalysis and alkylzirconocene nucleophiles.

Project description:The desymmetrization of meso-compounds is a useful synthetic method, as illustrated by numerous applications of this strategy in natural product synthesis. Cu-catalyzed allylic desymmetrizations enable the enantioselective formation of carbon-carbon bonds, but these transformations are limited in substrate scope and by the use of highly reactive premade organometallic reagents at cryogenic temperatures. Here we show that diverse meso-bisphosphates in combination with alkylzirconium nucleophiles undergo highly regio-, diastereo- and enantio-selective Cu-catalyzed desymmetrization reactions. In addition, C2-symmetric chiral bisphosphates undergo stereospecific reactions and a racemic substrate undergoes a Cu-catalyzed kinetic resolution. The reaction tolerates functional groups incompatible with many common organometallic reagents and provides access to a broad range of functionalized carbo- and hetero-cyclic structures. The products bear up to three contiguous stereogenic centers, including quaternary centers and spirocyclic ring systems. We anticipate that the method will be a useful complement to existing catalytic enantioselective reactions.

Absence of Intermediates in the BINOL-Derived Mg(II)/Phosphate-Catalyzed Desymmetrizative Ring Expansion of 1-Vinylcyclobutanols.

Project description:The catalyzed desymmetrizative ring expansion of alkenylcyclobutanols promoted by halofunctionalization of the alkene moiety with N-bromosuccinimide has been experimentally and computationally studied. The reaction yields highly enantioenriched cyclopentanones bearing two all-carbon quaternary stereocenters, one of them being generated in the rearrangement of the cyclobutane ring and the other by enantioselective desymmetrization. The reaction is competitive with the formation of a spiroepoxide, but it turns completely selective toward the cyclopentanone when a chiral bisphosphonium magnesium salt is employed as a catalyst. Mechanistic studies support the formation of an ion pair leading to a complex with only a unit of phosphoric acid, which is the resting state of the catalytic cycle. Calculations reproduce in an excellent way the observed reactivity and predict the effect exerted by the substituents of the aromatic ring linked to the double bond. The computational studies also revealed the reaction as a highly asynchronous concerted process taking place as one kinetic step but in two stages: (i) halogenation of the double bond and (ii) rearrangement of the cyclobutane. No intermediates are present in the reaction as energy minima. The experimental scope of the reaction further confirms the predictions for the observed reactivity and selectivity.

Atropselective Hydrolysis of Chiral Binol-Phosphate Esters Catalyzed by the Phosphotriesterase from <i>Sphingobium</i> sp. TCM1.

Project description:The phosphotriesterase from Sphingobium sp. TCM1 (Sb-PTE) is notable for its ability to hydrolyze a broad spectrum of organophosphate triesters, including organophosphorus flame retardants and plasticizers such as triphenyl phosphate and tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate that are not substrates for other enzymes. This enzyme is also capable of hydrolyzing any one of the three ester groups attached to the central phosphorus core. The enantiomeric isomers of 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) have become among the most widely used chiral auxiliaries for the chemical synthesis of chiral carbon centers. PTE was tested for its ability to hydrolyze a series of biaryl phosphate esters, including mono- and bis-phosphorylated BINOL derivatives and cyclic phosphate triesters. Sb-PTE was shown to be able to catalyze the hydrolysis of the chiral phosphate triesters with significant stereoselectivity. The catalytic efficiency, kcat/Km, of Sb-PTE toward the test phosphate triesters ranged from ∼10 to 105 M-1 s-1. The product ratios and stereoselectivities were determined for four pairs of phosphorylated BINOL derivatives.
