Plausible Pnicogen Bonding of epi-Cinchonidine as a Chiral Scaffold in Catalysis.

ABSTRACT: As a non-covalent interaction of a chiral scaffold in catalysis, pnicogen bonding of epi-cinchonidine (epi-CD), a cinchona alkaloid, was simulated to consider whether the interaction can have the potential controlling enantiotopic face like hydrogen bonding. Among five reactive functional groups in epi-CD, two stable complexes of the hydroxyl group (X-epi-CD1) at C₁₇ and of the quinoline ring (X-epi-CD2) at N₁₆ with pnictide family analytes [X = substituted phosphine (PX), i.e., F, Br, Cl, CF₃, CN, HO, NO₂, and CH₃, and pnictide family analytes, i.e., PBr₃, BiI₃, SbI₃, and AsI₃] were predicted with intermolecular interaction energies, charge transfer (Q_Mulliken and Q_NBO), and band gap energies of HOMO-LUMO (Eg) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of density functional theory. It was found that the dominant site of pnicogen bonding in epi-CD is the quinoline ring (N₁₆ atom) rather than the hydroxyl group (O₃₆ atom). In addition, the UV-Vis spectra of the complex were calculated by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level and compared with experimental measurements. Through these calculations, two intermolecular interactions (H-bond vs. pnicogen bond) of epi-CD were compared.

Asymmetric Catalysis in Chiral Solvents: Chirality Transfer with Amplification of Homochirality through a Helical Macromolecular Scaffold.

Project description:Use of chiral solvents in asymmetric synthesis as a sole source of enantioselection remains largely unexplored in organic synthesis. We found that the use of a helical macromolecular catalyst of which helical chirality is dynamically formed in chiral solvents allowed several mechanistically different reactions to proceed with high enantioselectivity. In this system, the chirality of the solvent, such as limonene, induces a configurational imbalance to the helical macromolecular scaffold of the catalyst, and in turn to the reaction products through palladium-catalyzed asymmetric reactions including Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling (up to 98% ee), styrene hydrosilylation (up to 95% ee), and silaboration (up to 89% ee). Not only enantiomerically pure limonene but also limonene with low enantiomeric excesses induce single-handed helical structures with majority-rule-based amplification of homochirality. The helical conformation of the macromolecular catalyst was retained even in the absence of limonene in the solid state, enabling asymmetric cross-coupling in achiral solvent with high enantioselectivity.

Pnictogen-bonding catalysis: brevetoxin-type polyether cyclizations.

Project description:Pnictogen-bond donors are attractive for use in catalysis because of deep σ holes, high multivalency, rich hypervalency, and chiral binding pockets. We here report natural product inspired epoxide-opening polyether cyclizations catalyzed by fluoroarylated Sb(v) > Sb(iii) > Bi > Sn > Ge. The distinctive characteristic found for pnictogen-bonding catalysis is the breaking of the Baldwin rules, that is selective endo cyclization into the trans-fused ladder oligomers known from the brevetoxins. Moreover, tris(3,4,5-trifluorophenyl)stibines and their hypervalent stiborane catecholates afford different anti-Baldwin stereoselectivity. Lewis (SbCl3), Brønsted (AcOH) and π acids fail to provide similar access to these forbidden rings. Like hydrogen-bonding catalysis differs from Brønsted acid catalysis, pnictogen-bonding catalysis thus emerges as the supramolecular counterpart of covalent Lewis acid catalysis.

What Is the Nature of Supramolecular Bonding? Comprehensive NBO/NRT Picture of Halogen and Pnicogen Bonding in RPH2···IF/FI Complexes (R = CH3, OH, CF3, CN, NO2).

Project description:We employ a variety of natural bond orbital (NBO) and natural resonance theory (NRT) tools to comprehensively investigate the nature of halogen and pnicogen bonding interactions in RPH2···IF/FI binary complexes (R = CH3, OH, CF3, CN, and NO2) and the tuning effects of R-substituents. Though such interactions are commonly attributed to "sigma-hole"-type electrostatic effects, we show that they exhibit profound similarities and analogies to the resonance-type 3-center, 4-electron (3c/4e) donor-acceptor interactions of hydrogen bonding, where classical-type "electrostatics" are known to play only a secondary modulating role. The general 3c/4e resonance perspective corresponds to a continuous range of interatomic A···B bond orders (bAB), spanning both the stronger "covalent" interactions of the molecular domain (say, bAB ≥ ½) and the weaker interactions (bAB ˂ ½, often misleadingly termed "noncovalent") that underlie supramolecular complexation phenomena. We show how a unified NBO/NRT-based description of hydrogen, halogen, pnicogen, and related bonding yields an improved predictive utility and intuitive understanding of empirical trends in binding energies, structural geometry, and other measurable properties that are expected to be manifested in all such supramolecular interaction phenomena.

Synthesis of chiral mono(N-heterocyclic carbene) palladium and gold complexes with a 1,1'-biphenyl scaffold and their applications in catalysis.

Project description:Axially chiral mono(NHC)-Pd(II) and mono(NHC)-Au(I) complexes with one side shaped 1,1'-biphenyl backbone have been prepared from chiral 6,6'-dimethoxybiphenyl-2,2'-diamine. The complexes were characterized by X-ray crystal structure diffraction. The Pd(II) complex showed good catalytic activities in the Suzuki-Miyaura and Heck-Mizoroki coupling reactions, and the (S)-Au(I) complexes also showed good catalytic activities in the asymmetric intramolecular hydroamination reaction to give the corresponding product in moderate ee.

Chiral allene-containing phosphines in asymmetric catalysis.

Project description:We demonstrate that allenes, chiral 1,2-dienes, appended with basic functionality can serve as ligands for transition metals. We describe an allene-containing bisphosphine that, when coordinated to Rh(I), promotes the asymmetric addition of arylboronic acids to α-keto esters with high enantioselectivity. Solution and solid-state structural analysis reveals that one olefin of the allene can coordinate to transition metals, generating bi- and tridentate ligands.

Engineering of chiral nanomaterials for biomimetic catalysis.

Project description:Chiral nanomaterial-based biomimetic catalysts can trigger a similar biological effect to natural catalysts and exhibit high performance in biological applications. Especially, their active center similarity and substrate selectivity promoted their superior biocatalytic activity. Here, modification of critical elements, such as size, morphology, nanocrystal facets, chiral surface and active sites, for controlling the catalytic efficiency of individual chiral nanoparticles (NPs) and chiral nanoassemblies has been demonstrated, which had a synergistic effect on overcoming the defects of pre-existing nanocatalysts. Noticeably, application of external forces (light or magnetism) has resulted in obvious enhancement in biocatalytic efficiency. Chiral nanomaterials served as preferable biomimetic nanocatalysts due to their special structural configuration and chemical constitution advantages. Furthermore, the current challenges and future research directions of the preparation of high-performance bioinspired chiral nanomaterials for biological applications are discussed.

Atroposelective Synthesis of Axially Chiral N-Arylpyrroles by Chiral-at-Rhodium Catalysis.

Project description:A transformation of fluxional into configurationally stable axially chiral N-arylpyrroles was achieved with a highly atroposelective electrophilic aromatic substitution catalyzed by a chiral-at-metal rhodium Lewis acid. Specifically, N-arylpyrroles were alkylated with N-acryloyl-1H-pyrazole electrophiles in up to 93 % yield and with up to >99.5 % ee, and follow-up conversions reveal the synthetic utility of this new method. DFT calculations elucidate the origins of the observed excellent atroposelectivity.

Chalcogen Bonding Catalysis of a Nitro-Michael Reaction.

Project description:Chalcogen bonding is the non-covalent interaction between Lewis acidic chalcogen substituents and Lewis bases. Herein, we present the first application of dicationic tellurium-based chalcogen bond donors in the nitro-Michael reaction between trans-?-nitrostyrene and indoles. This also constitutes the first activation of nitro derivatives by chalcogen bonding (and halogen bonding). The catalysts showed rate accelerations of more than a factor of 300 compared to strongly Lewis acidic hydrogen bond donors. Several comparison experiments, titrations, and DFT calculations support a chalcogen-bonding-based mode of activation of ?-nitrostyrene.

Asymmetric Catalysis with a Mechanically Point-Chiral Rotaxane.

Project description:Mechanical point-chirality in a [2]rotaxane is utilized for asymmetric catalysis. Stable enantiomers of the rotaxane result from a bulky group in the middle of the thread preventing a benzylic amide macrocycle shuttling between different sides of a prochiral center, creating point chirality in the vicinity of a secondary amine group. The resulting mechanochirogenesis delivers enantioselective organocatalysis via both enamine (up to 71:29 er) and iminium (up to 68:32 er) activation modes.

Neutral Chiral Tetrakis-Iodo-Triazole Halogen-Bond Donor for Chiral Recognition and Enantioselective Catalysis.

Project description:Halogen bonding represents a powerful tool in the field of noncovalent interactions. However, applications in enantioselective recognition and catalysis remain almost nonexistent, due in part to the distinct features of halogen bonds, including long covalent and noncovalent bond distances and high directionality. Herein, this work presents a novel chiral tetrakis-iodo-triazole structure as a neutral halogen bond donor for both chiral anion-recognition and enantioinduction in ion-pair organocatalysis. NMR-titration studies revealed significant differences in anion affinity between the halogen bonding receptor and its hydrogen bonding parent. Selective recognition of chiral dicarboxylates and asymmetric induction in a benchmark organocatalytic reaction were demonstrated using the halogen bond donor. Inversions in the absolute sense of chiral recognition, enantioselectivity, and chiroptical properties relative to the related hydrogen donor were observed. Computational modeling suggested that these effects were the result of distinct anion-binding modes for the halogen- versus hydrogen-bond donors.
