Investigating ionic effects applied to water based organocatalysed aldol reactions.

ABSTRACT: Saturated aqueous solutions of various common salts were examined for their effect on aqueous aldol reactions catalysted by a highly active C(2)-symmetric diprolinamide organocatalyst developed in our laboratory. With respect to the aldol reaction between cyclohexanone and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde, deionised water was always a superior medium to salt solutions though some correlation to increasing anion size and depression in enantiomeric excess could be observed. Additionally, the complete inhibition of catalyst activity observed when employing tap water could be alleviated by the inclusion of ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) into the aqueous media prior to reaction initiation. Extension of these reaction conditions demonstrated that these ionic effects vary on a case-to-case basis depending on the ketone/aldehyde combination.

Hydrophobic substituent effects on proline catalysis of aldol reactions in water.

Project description:Derivatives of 4-hydroxyproline with a series of hydrophobic groups in well-defined orientations have been tested as catalysts for the aldol reactions. All of the modified proline catalysts carry out the intermolecular aldol reaction in water and provide high diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity. Modified prolines with aromatic groups syn to the carboxylic acid are better catalysts than those with small hydrophobic groups (1a is 43.5 times faster than 1f). Quantum mechanical calculations provide transition structures, TS-1a(water) and TS-1f(water), that support the hypothesis that a stabilizing hydrophobic interaction occurs with 1a.

Metal- and Solvent-Free Transesterification and Aldol Condensation Reactions by a Homogenous Recyclable Basic Ionic Liquid Based on the 1,3,5-Triazine Framework.

Project description:A new recyclable basic ionic liquid was introduced as an efficient catalyst for aldol condensation and transesterification reactions under environmentally friendly conditions. The catalyst was prepared based on methyl imidazolium moieties bearing hydroxide counter anions via the Hofmann elimination on a 1,3,5-triazine framework. The ionic liquid with two functionalities including anion stabilizer and high basicity, was used as an efficient catalyst for aldol condensation as well as transesterification reaction of a variety of alkyl benzoates. All reactions were performed in the absence of any external reagent, co-catalyst, or solvent, in line with environmental protection. The kinetics isotope effect (KIE) was conducted for the transesterification reaction to elucidate the mechanism and rate determining step (RDS). It worth noted that, the homogeneous catalyst could be recycled from the reaction mixture and reused for several consecutive runs with insignificant drop of basicity and conversion.

Stereodivergent approach to the avermectins based on "super silyl" directed aldol reactions.

Project description:A stereodivergent approach to the spiroketal fragment of the avermectins is described. The strategy utilizes a sequence of three aldol reactions directed by the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl "super silyl" group. Central to this strategy is that each aldol reaction can be controlled to allow access to either diastereomer in high stereoselectivity, thereby affording 16 stereoisomers along the same linear skeleton. The aldol products can be transformed into spiroketals, including an advanced intermediate in the total synthesis of avermectin A1a.

Comparison of L-Threonine Aldolase Variants in the Aldol and Retro-Aldol Reactions.

Project description:Most of biochemical and mutagenesis studies performed with L-threonine aldolases were done with respect to natural activity, the cleavage of L-threonine and sometimes L-β-phenylserine. However, the properties of variants and the impact of mutations on the product synthesis are more interesting from an applications point of view. Here we performed site-directed mutagenesis of active site residues of L-threonine aldolase from Aeromonas jandaei to analyze their impact on the retro-aldol activity and on the aldol synthesis of L-β-phenylserine and L-α-alkyl-β-phenylserines. Consequently, reduced retro-aldol activity upon mutation of catalytically important residues led to increased conversions and diastereoselectivities in the synthetic direction. Thus, L-β-phenylserine can be produced with conversions up to 60% and d.e.'s up to 80% (syn) under kinetic control. Furthermorem, the donor specificity of L-threonine aldolase was increased upon mutation of active site residues, which enlarged the pocket size for an efficient binding and stabilization of donor molecules in the active site. This study broadens the knowledge about L-threonine aldolase catalyzed reactions and improves the synthetic protocols for the biocatalytic asymmetric synthesis of unnatural amino acids.

Palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling reactions in ?-valerolactone-based ionic liquids.

Project description:It was demonstrated that the ?-valerolactone-based ionic liquid, tetrabutylphosphonium 4-ethoxyvalerate as a partially bio-based solvent can be utilized as alternative reaction medium for copper- and auxiliary base-free Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling reactions of aryl iodides and functionalized acetylenes under mild conditions. Twenty-two cross-coupling products were isolated with good to excellent yields (72-99%) and purity (>98%). These results represent an example which proves that biomass-derived safer solvents can be utilized efficiently in common, industrially important transformations exhibiting higher chemical and environmental efficiency.

Enantioselective direct aldol reactions catalyzed by L-prolinamide derivatives.

Project description:l-Prolinamides 2, prepared from l-proline and simple aliphatic and aromatic amines, have been found to be active catalysts for the direct aldol reaction of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde with neat acetone at room temperature. They give moderate enantioselectivities of up to 46% enantiomeric excess (ee). The enantioselectivity increases as the amide N-H becomes a better hydrogen bond donor. l-Prolinamides 3, derived from the reaction of l-proline with alpha,beta-hydroxyamines such that there is a terminal hydroxyl group, show more efficient catalysis and higher enantioselectivities. In particular, catalyst 3h, prepared from l-proline and (1S,2S)-diphenyl-2-aminoethanol, exhibits high enantioselectivities of up to 93% ee for aromatic aldehydes and up to >99% ee for aliphatic aldehydes under -25 degrees C. Model reactions of benzaldehyde with three enamines derived from the condensation of prolinamides with acetone have been studied by quantum mechanics calculations. The calculations reveal that the amide N-H and the terminal hydroxyl groups form hydrogen bonds with the benzaldehyde substrate. These hydrogen bonds reduce the activation energy and cause high enantioselectivity. Our results suggest a new strategy in the design of new organic catalysts for direct asymmetric aldol reactions and related transformations.

Aldol Reactions of Conformationally Stable Axially Chiral Thiohydantoin Derivatives.

Project description:Two novel axially chiral ortho-trifluoromethylphenyl thiohydantoin derivatives have been prepared atroposelectively from the reaction of R and S alanine methyl ester HCl salts with ortho-trifluoromethylphenyl isothiocyanate in the presence of triethyl amine. It was found that after purification of the crude product by simple recrystallization, the R amino acid esters yielded thiohydantoins having solely M axial chirality whereas the S ones returned the P isomers only. This result prompted us to perform sterically controlled aldol reactions on M and P thiohydantoin atropisomers. It was found that during the aldol reaction of 3-o-trifluoromethyl-5-methylthiohydantoins, the o-trifluoromethyl group of the M isomers efficiently shielded the Si face of the intermediate and in this way, enabled the selective formation of only the R configured aldol products at C5 of the heterocyclic ring. The P thiohydantoins, on the other hand, yielded only the S C5 configured aldol products as a result of the Re face shielding of the ortho-trifluoromethyl group of intermediate enolates. A noteworthy face selectivity of the benzaldehyde molecule was not observed (anti/syn only 3/2) during the aldolization of trifluoromethylphenyl derivatives of thiohydantoins. Aldol reactions were also done using the previously synthesized axially chiral thiohydantoins with ortho-Cl, Br, and I phenyl substituents which had predominantly P conformations (P/M ratios > 95%), and the stereochemical outcomes were compared with those of the ortho-trifluoromethyl substituted ones. 80-90% face selectivity of the benzaldehyde molecule was observed for the axially chiral o-halophenyl substituted thiohydantoins. The syntheses done with axially chiral 3-ortho-trifluoromethylphenyl- and 3-ortho-iodophenyl-5-methyl thiohydantoins enabled stereoselective formation of quaternized chiral carbon centers at C5 of the thiohydantoin ring.

Transition-State Expansion: A Quantitative Model for Counterion Effects in Ionic Reactions.

Project description:Ionic reactions are the most common reactions used in chemical synthesis. In relatively low dielectric constant solvents (e.g., dichloromethane, toluene), ions usually exist as ion pairs. Despite the importance of counterions, a quantitative description of how the paired 'counterion' affects the reaction kinetic is still elusive. We introduce a general and quantitative model, namely transition-state expansion (TSE), that describes how the size of a counterion affects the transition-state structure and the kinetics of an ionic reaction. This model could rationalize the counterion effects in nucleophilic substitutions and gold-catalyzed enyne cycloisomerizations.

Enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-pironetin: iterative aldol reactions of thiazolidinethiones.

Project description:The enantioselective total synthesis of pironetin has been achieved in 11 steps from known aldehyde 2. The synthesis relies on the formation of 5 out of 6 stereocenters through titanium mediated iterative aldol reactions. Key steps in this synthesis include an acetal aldol reaction to establish the stereochemistry at C8 and C9, an acetate aldol reaction, and "Evans" syn aldol reaction.
