Enantioselective Recognition of Racemic Amino Alcohols in Aqueous Solution by Chiral Metal-Oxide Keplerate {Mo₁₃₂ } Cluster Capsules.

ABSTRACT: Determining the relative configuration or enantiomeric excess of a substance may be achieved using NMR spectroscopy by employing chiral shift reagents (CSRs). Such reagents interact noncovalently with the chiral solute, resulting in each chiral form experiencing different magnetic anisotropy; this is then reflected in their NMR spectra. The Keplerate polyoxometalate (POM) is a molybdenum-based, water-soluble, discrete inorganic structure with a pore-accessible inner cavity, decorated by differentiable ligands. Through ligand exchange from the self-assembled nanostructure, a set of chiral Keplerate host molecules has been synthesised. By exploiting the interactions of analyte molecules at the surface pores, the relative configuration of chiral amino alcohol guests (phenylalaninol and 2-amino-1-phenylethanol) in aqueous solvent was establish and their enantiomeric excess was determined by ¹ H NMR using shifts of ΔΔδ=0.06 ppm. The use of POMs as chiral shift reagents represents an application of a class that is yet to be well established and opens avenues into aqueous host-guest chemistry with self-assembled recognition agents.

Mechanism of the enantioselective oxidation of racemic secondary alcohols catalyzed by chiral Mn(III)-salen complexes.

Project description:The experiments described here clarify the mechanism and origin of the enantioselectivity of the oxidation of racemic secondary alcohols catalyzed by chiral Mn(III)-salen complexes using HOBr, Br(2)/H(2)O/KOAc or PhI(OAc)(2)/H(2)O/KBr as a stoichiometric oxidant. Key points of the proposed pathway include (1) the formation of a Mn(V)-salen dibromide, (2) its subsequent reaction with the alcohol to give an alkoxy-Mn(V) species, and (3) carbonyl-forming elimination to produce the ketone via a highly organized transition state with intramolecular transfer of hydrogen from carbon to an oxygen of the salen ligand.

Chiral Bronsted acid catalyzed enantioselective synthesis of anti-homopropargyl alcohols via kinetic resolution-aldehyde allenylboration using racemic allenylboronates.

Project description:A chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed kinetic resolution/allenylboration of racemic allenylboronates with aldehydes is described. Allenylboration of aldehydes with 2.8 equiv of allenylboronate (±)-1 in the presence of 10 mol % of catalyst (R)-2 provided anti-homopropargyl alcohols 3 in 83-95% yield with 9:1 to 20:1 diastereoselectivity and 73-95% ee. The catalyst enables the kinetic resolution of the racemic allenylboronate (±)-1 to set the methyl stereocenter and biases the facial attack of the aldehyde to set the stereochemistry of the hydroxyl group in 3.

Organocatalytic synthesis of chiral tetrasubstituted allenes from racemic propargylic alcohols.

Project description:Although chiral allene preparation via formal SN2' nucleophilic substitutions of enantioenriched propargylic derivatives or metal-catalyzed reactions of racemic propargylic derivatives has attracted considerable attention and found applications in many areas of research, direct use of propargylic alcohols instead of propargylic derivatives for catalytic asymmetric allene synthesis is unknown. Here, we show that a highly enantioselective synthesis of tetrasubstituted allenes from racemic propargylic alcohols has been realized by organocatalysis with good efficiency (up to 96% yield and 97% ee). The intermolecular C-C and C-S bond formation was achieved efficiently with simultaneous stereocontrol over the axial chirality. Furthermore, an adjacent quaternary stereocenter could also be constructed. Mechanistically, the reaction may involve efficient stereocontrol on the propargylic cation by its chiral counter anion or 1,8-conjugate addition of para-quinone methides. In sharp contrast to previous central chirality construction, this process employs quinone methides for axial chirality construction.Axially chiral allenes that are normally present in natural products, bioactive molecules, organocatalysts, and functional materials are usually produced from propargylic derivatives. Here, the authors show direct use of propargylic alcohols for catalytic asymmetric allene synthesis.

K2S2O8-Mediated Hydroxyalkylation of Benzothiazoles with Alcohols in Aqueous Solution.

Project description:The K2S2O8-mediated hydroxyalkylation of 2H-benzothiazoles with aliphatic alcohols in aqueous solution was described. The mild and convenient protocol generated a series of hydroxyalkylated benzothiazoles in moderate to good yields. Besides, benzimidazole and ethers were also compatible in this reaction, leading to corresponding C2 ether-substituted heteroarenes.

Ce-mediated molecular tailoring on gigantic polyoxometalate {Mo132} into half-closed {Ce11Mo96} for high proton conduction.

Project description:Precise synthesis of polyoxometalates (POMs) is important for the fundamental understanding of the relationship between the structure and function of each building motif. However, it is a great challenge to realize the atomic-level tailoring of specific sites in POMs without altering the major framework. Herein, we report the case of Ce-mediated molecular tailoring on gigantic {Mo132}, which has a closed structural motif involving a never seen {Mo110} decamer. Such capped wheel {Mo132} undergoes a quasi-isomerism with known {Mo132} ball displaying different optical behaviors. Experiencing an 'Inner-On-Outer' binding process with the substituent of {Mo2} reactive sites in {Mo132}, the site-specific Ce ions drive the dissociation of {Mo2*} clipping sites and finally give rise to a predictable half-closed product {Ce11Mo96}. By virtue of the tailor-made open cavity, the {Ce11Mo96} achieves high proton conduction, nearly two orders of magnitude than that of {Mo132}. This work offers a significant step toward the controllable assembly of POM clusters through a Ce-mediated molecular tailoring process for desirable properties.

Enantioselective access to chiral aliphatic amines and alcohols via Ni-catalyzed hydroalkylations.

Project description:Chiral aliphatic amine and alcohol derivatives are ubiquitous in pharmaceuticals, pesticides, natural products and fine chemicals, yet difficult to access due to the challenge to differentiate between the spatially and electronically similar alkyl groups. Herein, we report a nickel-catalyzed enantioselective hydroalkylation of acyl enamines and enol esters with alkyl halides to afford enantioenriched α-branched aliphatic acyl amines and esters in good yields with excellent levels of enantioselectivity. The operationally simple protocol provides a straightforward access to chiral secondary alkyl-substituted amine and secondary alkyl-substituted alcohol derivatives from simple starting materials with great functional group tolerance.

Substrate-Directed Enantioselective Aziridination of Alkenyl Alcohols Controlled by a Chiral Cation.

Project description:Alkene aziridination is a highly versatile transformation for the construction of chiral nitrogen-containing compounds. Inspired by the success of analogous substrate-directed epoxidations, we report an enantioselective aziridination of alkenyl alcohols, which enables asymmetric nitrene transfer to alkenes with varied substitution patterns, including those not covered by the current protocols. We believe that our method is effective because it is substrate-directed, exploiting a network of attractive non-covalent interactions between the substrate, an achiral dianionic rhodium(II,II) tetracarboxylate dimer, and its two associated cinchona alkaloid-derived cations. It is these cations that provide a defined chiral pocket in which the aziridination can occur. In addition to a thorough evaluation of compatible alkene classes, we advance a practical mnemonic to predict reaction outcome and disclose a range of post-functionalization protocols that highlight the unique synthetic potential of the enantioenriched aziridine-alcohol products.

Enantioselective fluorescent recognition of amino alcohols by a chiral tetrahydroxyl 1,1'-binaphthyl compound.

Project description:The tetrahydroxyl derivative of BINOL, (S)- or (R)-1, and its analogues are synthesized. (S)- or (R)-1 can be used to conduct the enantioselective recognition of chiral amino alcohols. In comparison with BINOL, the two additional hydroxyl groups of (S)- or (R)-1 have increased the binding of this compound with the amino alcohols and significantly improved the fluorescence quenching efficiency. The fluorescence responses of (S)- or (R)-1 toward amino alcohols are compared with those of its analogues (R)-4 and (R)-6. It shows that the interaction of the central naphthyl hydroxyl groups of (S)- or (R)-1 with the substrates is responsible for the observed fluorescence quenching, and the two additional alkyl hydroxyl groups increase the quenching efficiency.

Enantioselective terpolymerization of racemic and meso-epoxides with anhydrides for preparation of chiral polyesters.

Project description:The preparation of stereochemistry- and sequence-defined polymers, in which different monomer units are arranged in an ordered fashion just like biopolymers, is of great interest and has been a long-standing goal for chemists due to the expectation of unique macroscopic properties. Here, we describe the enantioselective terpolymerization of racemic terminal epoxides, meso-epoxides, and anhydrides mediated by the privileged chiral dinuclear Al(III) catalyst system, to afford optically active polyester terpolymers with either gradient or random distribution as determined by the epoxides employed during their preparation. The enantioselective terpolymerization of racemic tert-butyl glycidyl ether (rac-TBGE) and cyclopentene oxide with phthalic anhydride (PA) or naphthyl anhydride (NA) gives novel gradient polyesters, in which the crystallization behavior varies continuously along the main chain, due to the decrement of one ester component and the increment of the other occurring sequentially from one chain end to the other. In contrast, the enantioselective terpolymerization of rac-TBGE and meso-epoxide (cyclohexene oxide, 3,4-epoxytetrahydrofuran, or 1,4-dihydronaphthalene oxide) with an anhydride (PA or NA) provided chiral statistical terpolyesters with the random distribution of two kinds of ester units, resulting in a material possessing a mixed glass transition temperature. The present study therefore provides a convenient route to chiral polyesters bearing a range of physical and degradability properties.

Enantioconvergent hydroboration of a racemic allene: enantioselective synthesis of (E)-δ-stannyl-anti-homoallylic alcohols via aldehyde crotylboration.

Project description:The enantioconvergent hydroboration of racemic allenylstannane (±)-1 with ((d)Ipc)(2)BH converts both enantiomers of (±)-1 into the enantioenriched crotylborane (S)-E-3. Subsequent crotylboration of aldehydes with (S)-E-3 provides (E)-stannyl-homoallylic alcohols 5 in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivity.
