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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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

Project description: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.

Parts-per-million of ruthenium catalyze the selective chain-walking reaction of terminal alkenes.

Project description:The chain-walking of terminal alkenes (also called migration or isomerization reaction) is currently carried out in industry with unselective and relatively costly processes, to give mixtures of alkenes with significant amounts of oligomerized, branched and reduced by-products. Here, it is shown that part-per-million amounts of a variety of commercially available and in-house made ruthenium compounds, supported or not, transform into an extremely active catalyst for the regioselective migration of terminal alkenes to internal positions, with yields and selectivity up to >99% and without any solvent, ligand, additive or protecting atmosphere required, but only heating at temperatures >150 °C. The resulting internal alkene can be prepared in kilogram quantities, ready to be used in nine different organic reactions without any further treatment.

Aryloxide-Facilitated Catalyst Turnover in Enantioselective ?,?-Unsaturated Acyl Ammonium Catalysis.

Project description:A new general concept for ?,?-unsaturated acyl ammonium catalysis is reported that uses p-nitrophenoxide release from an ?,?-unsaturated p-nitrophenyl ester substrate to facilitate catalyst turnover. This method was used for the enantioselective isothiourea-catalyzed Michael addition of nitroalkanes to ?,?-unsaturated p-nitrophenyl esters in generally good yield and with excellent enantioselectivity (27 examples, up to 79?% yield, 99:1 er). Mechanistic studies identified rapid and reversible catalyst acylation by the ?,?-unsaturated p-nitrophenyl ester, and a recently reported variable-time normalization kinetic analysis method was used to delineate the complex reaction kinetics.

Enantioselective Michael addition to vinyl phosphonates <i>via</i> hydrogen bond-enhanced halogen bond catalysis.

Project description:An asymmetric Michael addition of malononitrile to vinyl phosphonates was accomplished by hydrogen bond-enhanced bifunctional halogen bond (XB) catalysis. NMR titration experiments were used to demonstrate that halogen bonding, with the support of hydrogen-bonding, played a key role in the activation of the Michael acceptors through the phosphonate group. This is the first example of the use of XBs for the activation of organophosphorus compounds in synthesis. In addition, the iodo-perfluorophenyl group proved to be a better directing unit than different iodo- and nitro-substituted phenyl groups. The developed approach afforded products with up to excellent yields and diastereoselectivities and up to good enantioselectivities.

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.

Enantioselective Synthesis of ?-Allyl Amino Esters via Hydrogen-Bond-Donor Catalysis.

Project description:We report a chiral-squaramide-catalyzed enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of ?-allyl amino esters. The optimized protocol provides access to N-carbamoyl-protected amino esters via nucleophilic allylation of readily accessible ?-chloro glycinates. A variety of useful ?-allyl amino esters were prepared, including crotylated products bearing vicinal stereocenters that are inaccessible through enolate alkylation, with high enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee) and diastereoselectivity (>10:1). The reactions display first-order kinetic dependence on both the ?-chloro glycinate and the nucleophile, consistent with rate-limiting C-C bond formation. Computational analysis of the uncatalyzed reaction predicts an energetically inaccessible iminium intermediate, and a lower energy concerted SN2 mechanism.

Parts-Per-Million of Soluble Pd<sup>0</sup> Catalyze the Semi-Hydrogenation Reaction of Alkynes to Alkenes.

Project description:The synthesis of cis-alkenes is industrially carried out by selective semi-hydrogenation of alkynes with complex Pd catalysts, which include the Lindlar catalyst (PdPb on CaCO3) and c-Pd/TiS (colloidal ligand-protected Pd nanoparticles), among others. Here, we show that Pd0 atoms are generated from primary Pd salts (PdCl2, PdSO4, Pd(OH)2, PdO) with H2 in alcohol solutions, independently of the alkyne, to catalyze the semi-hydrogenation reaction with extraordinarily high efficiency (up to 735 s-1), yield (up to 99%), and selectivity (up to 99%). The easy-to-prepare Pd0 species hold other potential catalytic applications.

Connecting and Analyzing Enantioselective Bifunctional Hydrogen Bond Donor Catalysis Using Data Science Tools.

Project description:The generalization of related asymmetric processes in organocatalyzed reactions is an ongoing challenge due to subtle, noncovalent interactions that drive selectivity. The lack of transferability is often met with a largely empirical approach to optimizing catalyst structure and reaction conditions. This has led to the development of diverse structural catalyst motifs and inspired unique design principles in this field. Bifunctional hydrogen bond donor (HBD) catalysis exemplifies this in which a broad collection of enantioselective transformations has been successfully developed. Herein, we describe the use of data science methods to connect catalyst and substrate structural features of an array of reported enantioselective bifunctional HBD catalysis through an iterative statistical modeling process. The computational parameters used to build the correlations are mechanism-specific based on the proposed transition states, which allows for analysis into the noncovalent interactions responsible for asymmetric induction. The resulting statistical models also allow for extrapolation to out-of-sample examples to provide a prediction platform that can be used for future applications of bifunctional hydrogen bond donor catalysis. Finally, this multireaction workflow presents an opportunity to build statistical models unifying various modes of activation relevant to asymmetric organocatalysis.
