Parts-per-million level loading organocatalysed enantioselective silylation of alcohols.

ABSTRACT: The field of organocatalysis has blossomed over the past few decades, becoming an alternative to transition-metal catalysis or even replacing the realm of transition-metal catalysis. However, a truly powerful organocatalyst with a high turnover number (TON) and turnover frequency (TOF) while retaining high enantioselectivity is yet to be discovered. Similar to metal catalysis, extremely low catalyst loading (p.p.m. or p.p.b. levels) is the ultimate goal of the organocatalysis community. Herein we report a remarkable contribution in this context: 1 p.p.m. loading of a simple 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol-based organocatalyst was enough to achieve highly enantioselective silylation reactions of alcohols. The unprecedented TONs and excellent enantioselectivity are ascribed to the robustness of the catalyst and systematic cooperative hydrogen-bonding organocatalysis in a densely confined chiral space.

Metal-Templated Design: Enantioselective Hydrogen-Bond-Driven Catalysis Requiring Only Parts-per-Million Catalyst Loading.

Project description:Based on a metal-templated approach using a rigid and globular structural scaffold in the form of a bis-cyclometalated octahedral iridium complex, an exceptionally active hydrogen-bond-mediated asymmetric catalyst was developed and its mode of action investigated by crystallography, NMR, computation, kinetic experiments, comparison with a rhodium congener, and reactions in the presence of competing H-bond donors and acceptors. Relying exclusively on weak forces, the enantioselective conjugate reduction of nitroalkenes can be executed at catalyst loadings as low as 0.004 mol% (40 ppm), representing turnover numbers of up to 20 250. A rate acceleration by the catalyst of 2.5 × 10(5) was determined. The origin of the catalysis is traced to an effective stabilization of developing charges in the transition state by carefully orchestrated hydrogen-bonding and van der Waals interactions between catalyst and substrates. This study demonstrates that the proficiency of asymmetric catalysis merely driven by hydrogen-bonding and van der Waals interactions can rival traditional activation through direct transition metal coordination of the substrate.

Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Alcohols by Enantioselective Silylation Enabled by Two Orthogonal Transition-Metal Catalysts.

Project description:A nonenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of acyclic and cyclic benzylic alcohols is reported. The approach merges rapid transition-metal-catalyzed alcohol racemization and enantioselective Cu-H-catalyzed dehydrogenative Si-O coupling of alcohols and hydrosilanes. The catalytic processes are orthogonal, and the racemization catalyst does not promote any background reactions such as the racemization of the silyl ether and its unselective formation. Often-used ruthenium half-sandwich complexes are not suitable but a bifunctional ruthenium pincer complex perfectly fulfills this purpose. By this, enantioselective silylation of racemic alcohol mixtures is achieved in high yields and with good levels of enantioselection.

Enzyme-Deoxygenated Low Parts per Million Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization in Miniemulsion and Ab Initio Emulsion.

Project description:The development of robust oxygen-tolerant reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) systems can dramatically simplify synthesis of well-defined polymers without redundant deoxygenation procedures. Herein, we broaden the application of oxygen-tolerant RDRP from homogeneous aqueous and organic solutions to dispersed media. The glucose oxidase (GOx) degassed atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was conducted in miniemulsion and ab initio emulsion systems using various catalyst regeneration methods: ARGET, ICAR, photo, and eATRP. All of these polymerization procedures led to polymers with predetermined molecular weight, low dispersity, and high chain-end functionality. Emulsion ATRP on a larger scale with preserved control was also successful. Circular dichroism (CD) studies demonstrated that the anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), did not damage the secondary structure of GOx. This confirms the versatility of the GOx system for various low ppm ATRP methods. GOx-assisted oxygen removal in the synthesis of hydrophobic polymers is reported for the first time. The low cost of deoxygenation reagents and the ability to scale up the procedure suggest the potential for industrial production, especially for emulsion polymerization.

Rhodium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Silylation of Cyclopropyl C-H Bonds.

Project description:Hydrosilyl ethers, generated in situ by the dehydrogenative silylation of cyclopropylmethanols with diethylsilane, undergo asymmetric, intramolecular silylation of cyclopropyl C-H bonds in high yields and with high enantiomeric excesses in the presence of a rhodium catalyst derived from a rhodium precursor and the bisphosphine (S)-DTBM-SEGPHOS. The resulting enantioenriched oxasilolanes are suitable substrates for the Tamao-Fleming oxidation to form cyclopropanols with conservation of the ee value from the C-H silylation. Preliminary mechanistic data suggest that C-H cleavage is likely to be the turnover-limiting and enantioselectivity-determining step.

Sub-parts-per-trillion level sensitivity in trace gas detection by cantilever-enhanced photo-acoustic spectroscopy.

Project description:An exceptional property of photo-acoustic spectroscopy is the zero-background in wavelength modulation configuration while the signal varies linearly as a function of absorbed laser power. Here, we make use of this property by combining a highly sensitive cantilever-enhanced photo-acoustic detector, a particularly stable high-power narrow-linewidth mid-infrared continuous-wave optical parametric oscillator, and a strong absorption cross-section of hydrogen fluoride to demonstrate the ability of cantilever-enhanced photo-acoustic spectroscopy to reach sub-parts-per-trillion level sensitivity in trace gas detection. The high stability of the experimental setup allows long averaging times. A noise equivalent concentration of 650 parts-per-quadrillion is reached in 32 minutes.

Ir-Catalyzed Enantioselective, Intramolecular Silylation of Methyl C-H Bonds.

Project description:We report highly enantioselective intramolecular, silylations of unactivated, primary C(sp3)-H bonds. The reactions form dihydrobenzosiloles in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities by functionalization of enantiotopic methyl groups under mild conditions. The reaction is catalyzed by an iridium complex generated from [Ir(COD)OMe]2 and chiral dinitrogen ligands that we recently disclosed. The C-Si bonds in the enantioenriched dihydrobenzosiloles were further transformed to C-Cl, C-Br, C-I, and C-O bonds in final products. The potential of this reaction was illustrated by sequential C(sp3)-H and C(sp2)-H silylations and functionalizations, as well as diastereoselective C-H silylations of a chiral, natural-product derivative containing multiple types of C-H bonds. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that C-H cleavage is the rate-determining step.

Traceless Silylation of ?-C(sp3)-H Bonds of Alcohols via Perfluorinated Acetals.

Project description:We report the silylation of primary C-H bonds located ? to secondary and tertiary alcohols by exploiting perfluorinated esters as traceless directing groups. The conversion of a secondary or tertiary alcohol to a perfluoroalkyl ester and conversion of the ester to the corresponding silyl acetals by hydrosilylation allows for selective ?-C(sp3)-H silylation catalyzed by the combination of [Ir(cod)OMe]2 and Me4Phen (3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) to form 6-membered dioxasilinane. Tamao-Fleming oxidation of these dioxasilinane leads to 1,2 diols. The developed sequence was applied to a series of natural products containing hydroxyl groups.

Mechanistic Studies on Rhodium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Silylation of Aryl C-H Bonds.

Project description:Several classes of enantioselective silylations of C-H bonds have been reported recently, but little mechanistic data on these processes are available. We report mechanistic studies on the rhodium-catalyzed, enantioselective silylation of aryl C-H bonds. A rhodium silyl dihydride and a rhodium norbornyl complex were prepared and determined to be interconverting catalyst resting states. Kinetic isotope effects indicated that the C-H bond cleavage step is not rate-determining, but the C-H bond cleavage and C-Si bond-forming steps together influence the enantioselectivity. DFT calculations indicate that the enantioselectivity originates from unfavorable steric interactions between the substrate and the ligand in the transition state leading to the formation of the minor enantiomer.

Rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective silylation of arene C-H bonds: desymmetrization of diarylmethanols.

Project description:We report a Rh-catalyzed, enantioselective silylation of arene C-H bonds directed by a (hydrido)silyl group. (Hydrido)silyl ethers that are formed in situ by hydrosilylation of benzophenone or its derivatives undergo asymmetric C-H silylation in high yield with excellent enantioselectivity in the presence of [Rh(cod)Cl]2 and a chiral bisphosphine ligand. The stereoselectivity of this process also allows enantioenriched diarylmethanols to react with site selectivity at one aryl group over the other. Enantioenriched benzoxasiloles from the silylation process undergo a range of transformations to form C-C, C-O, C-I, or C-Br bonds.
