Chiral Lewis acid-bonded picolinaldehyde enables enantiodivergent carbonyl catalysis in the Mannich/condensation reaction of glycine ester.

ABSTRACT: A new strategy of asymmetric carbonyl catalysis via a chiral Lewis acid-bonded aldehyde has been developed for the direct Mannich/condensation cascade reaction of glycine ester with aromatic aldimines. The co-catalytic system of 2-picolinaldehyde and chiral Yb^III-N,N'-dioxides was identified to be efficient under mild conditions, providing a series of trisubstituted imidazolidines in moderate to good yields with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Enantiodivergent synthesis was achieved via changing the sub-structures of the chiral ligands. The reaction could be carried out in a three-component version involving glycine ester, aldehydes, and anilines with equally good results. Based on control experiments, the X-ray crystal structure study and theoretical calculations, a possible dual-activation mechanism and stereo-control modes were provided to elucidate carbonyl catalysis and enantiodivergence.

Project description:First-order rate constants, determined by (1)H NMR, are reported for deuterium exchange between solvent D(2)O and the ?-amino carbon of glycine in the presence of increasing concentrations of carbonyl compounds (acetone, benzaldehyde, and salicylaldehyde) and at different pD and buffer concentrations. These rate data were combined with (1)H NMR data that define the position of the equilibrium for formation of imines/iminium ions from addition of glycine to the respective carbonyl compounds, to give second-order rate constants k(DO) for deprotonation of ?-imino carbon by DO(-). The assumption that these second-order rate constants lie on linear structure-reactivity correlations between log k(OL) and pK(a) was made in estimating the following pK(a)'s for deprotonation of ?-imino carbon: pK(a) = 22, glycine-acetone iminium ion; pK(a) = 27, glycine-benzaldehyde imine; pK(a) ? 23, glycine-benzaldehyde iminium ion; and, pK(a) = 25, glycine-salicylaldehyde iminium ion. The much lower pK(a) of 17 [Toth, K.; Richard, J. P. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 3013-3021] for carbon deprotonation of the adduct between 5'-deoxypyridoxal (DPL) and glycine shows that the strongly electron-withdrawing pyridinium ion is unique in driving the extended delocalization of negative charge from the ?-iminium to the ?-pyridinium carbon. This favors carbanion protonation at the ?-pyridinium carbon, and catalysis of the 1,3-aza-allylic isomerization reaction that is a step in enzyme-catalyzed transamination reactions. An analysis of the effect of incremental changes in structure on the activity of benzaldehyde in catalysis of deprotonation of glycine shows the carbonyl group electrophile, the 2-O(-) ring substituent and the cation pyridinium nitrogen of DPL each make a significant contribution to the catalytic activity of this cofactor analogue. The extraordinary activity of DPL in catalysis of deprotonation of ?-amino carbon results from the summation of these three smaller effects.
