Asymmetric synthesis using chiral-encoded metal.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of chiral compounds is of crucial importance in many areas of society and science, including medicine, biology, chemistry, biotechnology and agriculture. Thus, there is a fundamental interest in developing new approaches for the selective production of enantiomers. Here we report the use of mesoporous metal structures with encoded geometric chiral information for inducing asymmetry in the electrochemical synthesis of mandelic acid as a model molecule. The chiral-encoded mesoporous metal, obtained by the electrochemical reduction of platinum salts in the presence of a liquid crystal phase and the chiral template molecule, perfectly retains the chiral information after removal of the template. Starting from a prochiral compound we demonstrate enantiomeric excess of the (R)-enantiomer when using (R)-imprinted electrodes and vice versa for the (S)-imprinted ones. Moreover, changing the amount of chiral cavities in the material allows tuning the enantioselectivity.

Diastereodivergent asymmetric Michael-alkylation reactions using chiral N,N'-dioxide/metal complexes.

Project description:A diastereodivergent asymmetric Michael-alkylation reaction between 3-chloro-oxindoles and ?,?-unsaturated-?-ketoesters has been achieved using L-RaPr2 /Sc(OTf)3 and L-PrPr2 /Mg(OTf)2 metal complexes as catalysts. Both rel-(1R,2S,3R) and rel-(1S,2S,3R) chiral spiro cyclopropane oxindoles were constructed in good yields, diastereoselectivities and ee values. The diastereodivergent control may originate from different alkylation pathways after the Michael addition, with either intramolecular trapping of the aza-ortho-xylylene intermediate or direct SN2 substitution.

Asymmetric Synthesis of Stereogenic Phosphorus P(V) Centers Using Chiral Nucleophilic Catalysis.

Project description:Organophosphates have been widely used in agrochemistry, as reagents for organic synthesis, and in biochemistry. Phosphate mimics possessing four unique substituents, and thereby a chirality center, are useful in transition metal catalysis and as nucleotide therapeutics. The catalytic, stereocontrolled synthesis of phosphorus-stereogenic centers is challenging and traditionally depends on a resolution or use of stochiometric auxiliaries. Herein, enantioenriched phosphorus centers have been synthesized using chiral nucleophilic catalysis. Racemic H-phosphinate species were coupled with nucleophilic alcohols under halogenating conditions. Chiral phosphonate products were synthesized in acceptable yields (33-95%) and modest enantioselectivity (up to 62% ee) was observed after identification of an appropriate chiral catalyst and optimization of the solvent, base, and temperature. Nucleophilic catalysis has a tremendous potential to produce enantioenriched phosphate mimics that could be used as prodrugs or chemical biology probes.

Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral allylic esters.

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.

Asymmetric Catalysis with Ethylene. Synthesis of Functionalized Chiral Enolates.

Project description:Trialkylsilyl enol ethers are versatile intermediates often used as enolate surrogates for the synthesis of carbonyl compounds. Yet there are no reports of broadly applicable, catalytic methods for the synthesis of chiral silyl enol ethers carrying latent functionalities useful for synthetic operations beyond the many possible reactions of the silyl enol ether moiety itself. Here we report a general procedure for highly catalytic (substrate:catalyst ratio up to 1000:1) and enantioselective (92% to 98% major enantiomer) synthesis of such compounds bearing a vinyl group at a chiral carbon at the ?-position. The reactions, run under ambient conditions, use trialkylsiloxy-1,3-dienes and ethylene (1 atm) as precursors and readily available (bis-phosphine)-cobalt(II) complexes as catalysts. The silyl enolates can be readily converted into novel enantiopure vinyl triflates, a class of highly versatile cross-coupling reagents, enabling the syntheses of other enantiomerically pure, stereodefined trisubstituted alkene intermediates not easily accessible by current methods. Examples of Kumada, Stille, and Suzuki coupling reactions are illustrated.

Tunable chiral metal organic frameworks toward visible light-driven asymmetric catalysis.

Project description:A simple and effective strategy is developed to realize visible light-driven heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis. A chiral organic molecule, which only has very weak catalytic activity in asymmetric α-alkylation of aldehydes under visible light, is utilized as the ligand to coordinate with different types of metal ions, including Zn2+, Zr4+, and Ti4+, for construction of crystalline metal organic frameworks (MOFs). Impressively, when used as heterogeneous catalysts, all of the synthesized MOFs exhibit markedly enhanced activity. Furthermore, the asymmetric catalytic performance of these MOFs could be easily altered by selecting different metal ions, owing to the tunable electron transfer property between metal ions and chiral ligands. This work will provide a new approach for fabrication of heterogeneous catalysts and trigger more enthusiasm to conduct the asymmetric catalysis driven by visible light.

Bifunctional organocatalysts for the asymmetric synthesis of axially chiral benzamides.

Project description:Bifunctional organocatalysts bearing amino and urea functional groups in a chiral molecular skeleton were applied to the enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral benzamides via aromatic electrophilic bromination. The results demonstrate the versatility of bifunctional organocatalysts for the enantioselective construction of axially chiral compounds. Moderate to good enantioselectivities were afforded with a range of benzamide substrates. Mechanistic investigations were also carried out.

Asymmetric Radical Process for General Synthesis of Chiral Heteroaryl Cyclopropanes.

Project description:A highly efficient catalytic method has been developed for asymmetric radical cyclopropanation of alkenes with in situ-generated α-heteroaryldiazomethanes via Co(II)-based metalloradical catalysis (MRC). Through fine-tuning the cavity-like environments of newly-synthesized D2-symmetric chiral amidoporphyrins as the supporting ligand, the optimized Co(II)-based metalloradical system is broadly applicable to α-pyridyl and other α-heteroaryldiazomethanes for asymmetric cyclopropanation of wide-ranging alkenes, including several types of challenging substrates. This new catalytic methodology provides a general access to valuable chiral heteroaryl cyclopropanes in high yields with excellent both diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities. Combined computational and experimental studies further support the underlying stepwise radical mechanism of the Co(II)-based olefin cyclopropanation involving α- and γ-metalloalkyl radicals as the key intermediates.

Direct catalytic asymmetric synthesis of α-chiral bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes.

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.

Asymmetric hydrogenation for the synthesis of 2-substituted chiral morpholines.

Project description:Asymmetric hydrogenation of unsaturated morpholines has been developed by using a bisphosphine-rhodium catalyst bearing a large bite angle. With this approach, a variety of 2-substituted chiral morpholines could be obtained in quantitative yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). The hydrogenated products could be transformed into key intermediates for bioactive compounds.
