Project description:A novel class of polymers and oligomers of chiral folding chirality has been designed and synthesized, showing structurally compacted triple-column/multiple-layer frameworks. Both uniformed and differentiated aromatic chromophoric units were successfully constructed between naphthyl piers of this framework. Screening monomers, catalysts, and catalytic systems led to the success of asymmetric catalytic Suzuki-Miyaura polycouplings. Enantio- and diastereochemistry were unambiguously determined by X-ray structural analysis and concurrently by comparison with a similar asymmetric induction by the same catalyst in the asymmetric synthesis of a chiral three-layered product. The resulting chiral polymers exhibit intense fluorescence activity in a solid form and solution under specific wavelength irradiation.

Project description:A 2328-membered library of 2,3,4-trisubstituted tetrahydroquinolines was produced using a combination of solution- and solid-phase synthesis techniques. A tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) scaffold was prepared via an asymmetric Povarov reaction using cooperative catalysis to generate three contiguous stereogenic centers. A matrix of 4 stereoisomers of the THQ scaffold was prepared to enable the development of stereo/structure-activity relationships (SSAR) upon biological testing. A sparse matrix design strategy was employed to select library members to be synthesized with the goal of generating a diverse collection of tetrahydroquinolines with physicochemical properties suitable for downstream discovery.

Project description:A five-component catalyst assembly/aziridination reaction is described starting from an aldehyde, an amine, ethyl diazoacetate, B(OPh)(3), and a molecule of a vaulted biaryl ligand (VAPOL or VANOL). A remarkable level of chemo-selectivity was observed since, while 10 different products could have resulted from various reactions between the five components, an aziridine was formed in 85% yield and 98% ee and only two other products could be detected in 3% yield. Studies reveal that the first in a sequence of three reactions is an exceedingly rapid amine-induced assembly of an amino-BOROX chiral Brønsted acid species from VAPOL and B(OPh)(3), which is followed by imine formation from the amine and aldehyde and the concomitant formation of an imino-BOROX chiral Brønsted acid and finally the reaction of the imine with ethyl diazoacetate mediated by the imino-BOROX catalyst to give aziridine-2-carboxylic esters with very high diastereo- and enantioselectivity.

Project description:The carbanion-accelerated Claisen rearrangement has been extended to include phosphorus carbanion-stabilizing groups. The appropriately substituted allyl vinyl ethers are synthesized by the nucleophilic addition of allyl oxides to phosphorus-substituted allenes, which are obtained in one step from simple starting materials. The phosphorus-stabilized, carbanion-accelerated Claisen rearrangements proceed rapidly at room temperature in high yield, and the rearrangements are highly site- and stereoselective. The first examples of asymmetric induction in the Claisen rearrangement with chiral, phosphorus, anion-stabilizing groups are described. The observed asymmetric induction is highly dependent on the structure of the auxiliary and the metal counterion involved. Both internal and relative diastereoselectivity are high. A model for the observed sense of internal diastereoselectivity is proposed that is founded in the current understanding of the structure of phosphorus-stabilized anions.

Project description:A series of 19 different asymmetric catalysts were screened in an effort to identify the first chiral catalyst for the rearrangement of ?-hydroxy imines to ?-amino ketones involving a 1,2-carbon shift. Although aluminate complexes of VAPOL, VANOL, and 7,7'-(t)Bu2VANOL were quite effective catalysts giving up to 88% ee, the ne plus ultra catalyst for this reaction was found to be a zirconium complex of VANOL which gives 97 to >99% ee for the majority of the substrates examined. An X-ray diffraction study of the catalyst reveals that the zirconium exists as a homoleptic complex with three VANOL ligands and two protonated N-methyl imidazoles.

Project description:Trichloroacetimidate derivatives of prochiral (Z)-2-alken-1-ols react at room temperature with carboxylic acids to give chiral 3-acyloxy-1-alkenes in high enantiopurity in the presence of di-mu-acetatobis[(eta5-(S)-(pR)-2-(2'-(4'-methylethyl)oxazolinyl)cyclopentadienyl,1-C,3'-N)(eta4-tetraphenylcyclobutadiene)cobalt]dipalladium (COP-OAc) or its enantiomer. This reaction has broad scope, proceeds with predictable high stereoinduction, is accomplished at room temperature using high substrate concentrations and low catalyst loadings, and likely proceeds by a novel mechanism.

Project description:Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes (BCPs) are important motifs in contemporary drug design as linear spacer units that improve pharmacokinetic profiles. The synthesis of BCPs featuring adjacent stereocenters is highly challenging, but desirable due to the fundamental importance of 3D chemical space in medicinal chemistry. Current methods to access these high-value chiral molecules typically involve transformations of pre-formed BCPs, and can display limitations in substrate scope. Here we describe an approach to synthesize α-chiral BCPs involving the direct, asymmetric addition of simple aldehydes to [1.1.1]propellane, the predominant BCP precursor. This is achieved by combining a photocatalyst and an organocatalyst to generate a chiral α-iminyl radical cation intermediate, which installs a stereocenter simultaneously with ring-opening of [1.1.1]propellane. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions, displays broad scope, and provides an array of α-chiral BCPs in high yield and enantioselectivity. We also present a theoretical model for stereoinduction in this mode of photoredox organocatalysis.

Project description:Because chiral dialkyl carbinols, as well as their derived esters, are significant as intermediates and end points in fields such as organic, pharmaceutical, and biological chemistry, the development of efficient approaches to their asymmetric synthesis is an important endeavor. In this report, we describe a method for the direct catalytic enantioselective synthesis of such esters, beginning with an alkyl halide (derived from an aldehyde and an acyl bromide), an olefin, and a hydrosilane, catalyzed by nickel, an earth-abundant metal. The method is versatile, tolerating substituents that vary in size and that bear a range of functional groups. We further describe a four-component variant of this process, wherein the alkyl halide is generated in situ, thus obviating the need to isolate either an alkyl electrophile or an alkylmetal, while still effecting an alkyl-alkyl coupling. Finally, we apply our convergent method to the efficient catalytic enantioselective synthesis of three esters that are bioactive themselves or that have been utilized in the synthesis of bioactive compounds.

Project description:New chiral atropisomeric biphenyl diols 3, 4 and 6 containing additional peripheral chiral centers with different steric bulkiness and/or electronic properties were synthesized. The X-ray crystal structure of 3 shows the formation of a supramolecular structure whereas that of 6, containing additional CF3 substituents, shows the formation of a monomeric structure. Diols 1-6 were found to be active organocatalysts in oxo-Diels-Alder reactions in which 2 recorded a 72% ee with trimethylacetaldehyde as a substrate.

Project description:Chirality plays a key role in many fields ranging from life to natural sciences. For a long time, chiral materials have been developed and used to interact with chiral environments. In recent years, fluorescent carbon dots (CDots) are a new class of carbon nanomaterials exhibit excellent optical properties, good biocompatibility, excellent water solubility, and low cost. However, chirality transfer between semiconductor CDots and organics remains a challenge. Herein, a facile one-step hydrothermal method was used to synthesize chiral CDs from cysteine (cys). The obtained chiral CDots can act as chiral templates to induce porphyrins to form chiral supramolecular assemblies. The successful transmission of chiral information provides more options for the development of various chiral composite materials and the preservation of chiral information in the future.
