Hydrogen-Borrowing Alkylation of 1,2-Amino Alcohols in the Synthesis of Enantioenriched γ-Aminobutyric Acids.

ABSTRACT: For the first time we have been able to employ enantiopure 1,2-amino alcohols derived from abundant amino acids in C-C bond-forming hydrogen-borrowing alkylation reactions. These reactions are facilitated by the use of the aryl ketone Ph*COMe. Racemisation of the amine stereocentre during alkylation can be prevented by the use of sub-stoichiometric base and protection of the nitrogen with a sterically hindered triphenylmethane (trityl) or benzyl group. The Ph* and trityl groups are readily cleaved in one pot to give γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) products as their HCl salts without further purification. Both steps may be performed in sequence without isolation of the hydrogen-borrowing intermediate, removing the need for column chromatography.

Iron-Catalyzed Borrowing Hydrogen C-Alkylation of Oxindoles with Alcohols.

Project description:A general and efficient iron-catalyzed C-alkylation of oxindoles has been developed. This borrowing hydrogen approach employing a (cyclopentadienone)iron carbonyl complex (2 mol %) exhibited a broad reaction scope, allowing benzylic and simple primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols to be employed as alkylating agents. A variety of oxindoles underwent selective mono-C3-alkylation in good-to-excellent isolated yields (28 examples, 50-92 % yield, 79 % average yield).

Direct N-alkylation of unprotected amino acids with alcohols.

Project description:N-alkyl amino acids find widespread application as highly valuable, renewable building blocks. However, traditional synthesis methodologies to obtain these suffer from serious limitations, providing a major challenge to develop sustainable alternatives. We report the first powerful catalytic strategy for the direct N-alkylation of unprotected α-amino acids with alcohols. This method is highly selective, produces water as the only side product leading to a simple purification procedure, and a variety of α-amino acids are mono- or di-N-alkylated, in most cases with excellent retention of optical purity. The hydrophobicity of the products is tunable, and even simple peptides are selectively alkylated. An iron-catalyzed route to mono-N-alkyl amino acids using renewable fatty alcohols is also described that represents an ideal green transformation for obtaining fully bio-based surfactants.

A practical method for the synthesis of highly enantioenriched trans-1,2-amino alcohols.

Project description:A highly enantioselective addition of phenyl carbamate to meso-epoxides has been developed to efficiently generate protected trans-1,2-amino alcohols. This transformation is promoted by an oligomeric (salen)Co-OTf catalyst and has been used to prepare two useful 2-aminocycloalkanol hydrochlorides in enantiopure form on a multigram scale from commercially available starting materials.

Cyclometalated Iridium Complex-Catalyzed <i>N</i>-Alkylation of Amines with Alcohols via Borrowing Hydrogen in Aqueous Media.

Project description:This paper develops a methodology for cyclometalated iridium complex-catalyzed N-alkylation of amines with alcohols via borrowing hydrogen in the aqueous phase. The cyclometalated iridium catalyst-mediated N-alkylation of amines with alcohols displays high activity (S/C up to 10,000 and yield up to 96%) and ratio of amine/imine (up to >99:1) in a broad range of substrates (up to 46 examples) using water as the green and eco-friendly solvent. Most importantly, this transformation is simple, efficient, and can be performed at a gram scale, showcasing its potential for industrially synthesizing N-alkylamine compounds.

Mimicking transition metals in borrowing hydrogen from alcohols.

Project description:Borrowing hydrogen from alcohols, storing it on a catalyst and subsequent transfer of the hydrogen from the catalyst to an in situ generated imine is the hallmark of a transition metal mediated catalytic N-alkylation of amines. However, such a borrowing hydrogen mechanism with a transition metal free catalytic system which stores hydrogen molecules in the catalyst backbone is yet to be established. Herein, we demonstrate that a phenalenyl ligand can imitate the role of transition metals in storing and transferring hydrogen molecules leading to borrowing hydrogen mediated alkylation of anilines by alcohols including a wide range of substrate scope. A close inspection of the mechanistic pathway by characterizing several intermediates through various spectroscopic techniques, deuterium labelling experiments, and DFT study concluded that the phenalenyl radical based backbone sequentially adds H+, H˙ and an electron through a dearomatization process which are subsequently used as reducing equivalents to the C-N double bond in a catalytic fashion.

Iron-Catalyzed Borrowing Hydrogen ?-C(sp3)-Methylation of Alcohols.

Project description:Herein we report the iron-catalyzed ?-C(sp3)-methylation of primary alcohols using methanol as a C1 building block. This borrowing hydrogen approach employs a well-defined bench-stable (cyclopentadienone)iron(0) carbonyl complex as precatalyst (5 mol %) and enables a diverse selection of substituted 2-arylethanols to undergo ?-C(sp3)-methylation in good isolated yields (24 examples, 65% average yield).

Conversion of alcohols to enantiopure amines through dual-enzyme hydrogen-borrowing cascades.

Project description:α-Chiral amines are key intermediates for the synthesis of a plethora of chemical compounds at industrial scale. We present a biocatalytic hydrogen-borrowing amination of primary and secondary alcohols that allows for the efficient and environmentally benign production of enantiopure amines. The method relies on a combination of two enzymes: an alcohol dehydrogenase (from Aromatoleum sp., Lactobacillus sp., or Bacillus sp.) operating in tandem with an amine dehydrogenase (engineered from Bacillus sp.) to aminate a structurally diverse range of aromatic and aliphatic alcohols, yielding up to 96% conversion and 99% enantiomeric excess. Primary alcohols were aminated with high conversion (up to 99%). This redox self-sufficient cascade possesses high atom efficiency, sourcing nitrogen from ammonium and generating water as the sole by-product.

An Entry to Enantioenriched 3,3-Disubstituted Phthalides through Asymmetric Phase-Transfer-Catalyzed γ-Alkylation.

Project description:A novel asymmetric phase-transfer-catalyzed γ-alkylation of phthalide 3-carboxylic esters has been developed, giving access to 3,3-disubstituted phthalide derivatives, which present a chiral quaternary γ-carbon in good to excellent yields and good enantioselectivities (74-88% ee). The enantiomeric purity could be substantially enhanced to 94-95% ee by recrystallization. Both electron-withdrawing and electron-releasing substituents are well tolerated on the phthalide core as well as on the aromatic moiety of the alkylating agent. This methodology, enabling the introduction of an unfunctionalized group at the phthalide γ-position, fully complements previously reported organocatalytic strategies involving functionalized electrophiles, thus expanding the scope of accessible 3,3-disubstituted products. The high synthetic value of this asymmetric reaction has been proven by the formal synthesis of the naturally occurring alkaloid (+)-(9S,13R)-13-hydroxyisocyclocelabenzine.

Direct Conversion of Primary Alcohols to 1,2-Amino Alcohols: Enantioselective Iridium-Catalyzed Carbonyl Reductive Coupling of Phthalimido-Allene via Hydrogen Auto-Transfer.

Project description:The first catalytic enantioselective carbonyl (?-amino)allylations are described. Phthalimido-allene 1 and primary alcohols 2a-2z, 2a'-2c' engage in hydrogen auto-transfer-mediated carbonyl reductive coupling by way of (?-amino)allyliridium-aldehyde pairs to form vicinal amino alcohols 3a-3z, 3a'-3c' with high levels of regio-, anti-diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. Reaction progress kinetic analysis and isotopic labeling studies corroborate a catalytic cycle involving turnover-limiting alcohol dehydrogenation followed by rapid allene hydrometalation.
