Book Development and Evaluation of Chiral Catalysts for Asymmetric C C and C H Bond forming Reactions

Download or read book Development and Evaluation of Chiral Catalysts for Asymmetric C C and C H Bond forming Reactions written by Christian Ebner and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2012-03-05 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work was dedicated to the development and evaluation of new chiral catalysts for asymmetric C-C and C-H bond forming reactions. In the first part of the thesis an ESI-MS screening method is described, which allows the determination of a chiral catalyst´s selectivity in the palladium catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation by testing its racemic form. The value of this new method was demonstrated when different new aryl-PHOX-type ligands, which are not easily accessible in their enantiopure form, were evaluated. In the second part new PHOX-type ligands were tested in the iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of different unsaturated compounds. Although low activities and selectivities were found in most cases, one ligand showed promising results in the hydrogenation of allylic alcohols and imines. Furthermore air- and moisture-stable secondary phosphine oxide (SPO) containing bidentate ligands were tested in the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction. SPO,N-ligands bearing a PHOX type backbone were inactive in this transformation as they tend to form inactive palladium-bis-ligand complexes. SPO,P ligands however, were able to promote the desired reaction in a highly selective fashion although only low activities were found. During this work as well a new organo-catalyst, based on the structure of 2,3-dihydrobenzo[1,4]oxazine, was developed which allows for the asymmetric organo-catalyzed transfer-hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. This catalyst was able to reduce for the first time β, β-diaryl acrylaldehydes with very good activities and high enantioselectivities. Moreover an ESI-MS based mechanistic study on the tripeptide catalyzed conjugate addition reaction of aldehydes to nitroolefins was carried out. By this all reaction intermediates postulated for an enamine mechanism have been detected. Furthermore the attack of the enamine onto the nitroolefin was found to be the selectivity determining step in this process. The last part of this work aimed for the asymmetric α -allylation of carbonyl compounds by a tandem-catalysis approach. An intensive screening of both the organo-catalyst and the palladium-ligand led to reaction conditions which allowed for the selective mono-allylation of ketones in high yields. The formation of a quaternary center by α -allylation of α -branched aldehydes was also achieved. However, only low enantiomeric excesses were obtained in this transformation for the different catalyst systems tested.

Book Chiral Diazaligands for Asymmetric Synthesis

Download or read book Chiral Diazaligands for Asymmetric Synthesis written by Marc Lemaire and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-02-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of phosphine derivatives has historically induced the tremendous development of catalysis (both non-asymmetric and asymmetric). Although the chemistry of amines is more documented, the use of nitrogen-containing ligands only appeared recently. Nevertheless, during the last ten years, the results describing chiral diamine preparations and their uses in asymmetric catalysis and synthesis are increasing faster than their phosphorus counterparts. The reader will find in this volume the most recent methods for the synthesis of chiral diamines as well as their applications in asymmetric catalysis of CC bond formation. Particular attention will be given to spartein and derivatives of such diamines. Recently, the particular properties and the chemistry of amines allowed to obtain catalysts easy to separate and recycle and new types of ligands such as diaminocarbenes, ureas and thioureas. Finally, the complexing properties of some diamines allowed the formation of complexes with chirality "at the metal " which is of major theoretical interest and presents numerous potential applications.

Book Synthesis and Use of C2 symmetric Chiral Phenols for Asymmetric C C Bond Formation Using Organozinc Reagents

Download or read book Synthesis and Use of C2 symmetric Chiral Phenols for Asymmetric C C Bond Formation Using Organozinc Reagents written by Lai Chu Lin and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Several C2-symmetric chiral phenols were synthesized from derivatives of natural products (1R,2S)-ephedrine, (1S,2S)-pseudoephedrine and (L)-proline. The use of these ligands for asymmetric alkylation of benzaldehyde, Cu-catalyzed and Ni-catalyzed conjugate addition to chalcone using diethylzinc were explored. Moderate enantiomeric excess of 37% was obtained in the alkylation of benzaldehyde, whereas 60% ee and ̃40% ee were obtained for the Ni-catalyzed and Cu-catalyzed conjugate addition to chalcone, respectively, with moderate yields in all cases. Although these ligands were shown not be very efficient chiral catalysts for these types of reactions, they provided some structural information for future improvement on design of chiral auxiliaries for asymmetric induction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catalytic asymmetric synthesis has been one of the most active research areas in chemistry (Nobel Prize in 2001). The development of efficient chiral catalysts plays a crucial role in asymmetric catalysis. Although many chiral ligands/catalysts have been developed in the past decades, the most efficient catalysts are derived from a few core structures, called "privileged chiral catalysts". This ultimate "must have" and long awaited reference for every chemist working in the field of asymmetric catalysis starts with the core structure of the catalysts, explaining why a certain ligand or catalyst is so successful. It describes in detail the history, the basic structural characteristics, and the applications of these "privileged catalysts". This novel presentation provides readers with a much deeper insight into the topic and makes it a must-have for organic chemists, catalytic chemists, chemists working with/on organometallics, chemists in industry, and libraries.

Book Asymmetric Catalysis of Carbon carbon Bond Forming Reactions

Download or read book Asymmetric Catalysis of Carbon carbon Bond Forming Reactions written by Souvagya Biswas and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature has established numerous methods for synthesis of complex molecules utilizing simple and abundant resources such as the use of CO2, H2O and N2 using sunlight as a source of energy. Even more impressive are the high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivites observed in these transformations with a wide variety of both prochiral and chiral substrates. However, methods for the enantioselective incorporation of feedstock materials such as CO, HCN, CO2 or simple alkenes into prochiral molecules are limited and remain an important challenge in the field. The hydrovinylation reaction (HV), where ethylene is added across a carbon-carbon double bond, has been known for nearly fifty years, starting with the works of Hata, Alderson and Wilke. During the past few years, through an approach that relied mostly on mechanistic insights and systematic examination of ligand effects, our group discovered a number of protocols for Ni(II)- and Co(II)-catalyzed enantioselective hydrovinylation (HV) reactions of vinylarenes, 1,3-dienes and strained olefins. While the Ni(II)-catalyzed hydrovinylation (HV) reaction is one of the most selective asymmetric catalyzed carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, its use has been limited to alkenes conjugated to an aromatic ring and strained alkenes. We recently found Co(II)-bisphosphine complexes show much improved regioselectivity with broader functional group compatibility in 1,3-dienes. By utilizing finely tuned catalysts derived from Co(II)-bisphosphine complexes and Me3Al or methylaluminoxane (MAO) acyclic (E) and (Z)-1,3-dienes were found to undergo efficient hydrovinylation giving mostly 1,4-hydrovinylation products in an atmosphere of ethylene. In order to expand the hydrovinylation chemistry, we turned our attention to one of the mostly widely used intermediates on organic chemistry, viz., silyl enol ethers. Trialkylsilyl enol ethers are exceptionally versatile intermediates often used as enolate surrogates for the synthesis of carbonyl compounds. Yet there are no reports of broadly applicable, catalytic methods for the synthesis of chiral silyl enol ethers carrying latent functionalities useful for synthetic operations beyond the many possible reactions of the enol ether moiety itself. The work presented herein reports a general procedure for highly catalytic (substrate : catalyst ratio up to 1000:1) and enantioselective (96% to 98% major enantiomer) synthesis of silyl enol ethers bearing a vinyl group at a chiral carbon at the beta-position. The reactions, run under ambient conditions, use trialkylsiloxy-1,3-dienes and ethylene (1 atmosphere) as precursors, and readily available (bis-phosphine)-cobalt(II) complexes as catalysts. Once we have established the HV reaction conditions of the siloxydienes, we turn our attention towards diastereoselective functionalization of the hydrovinylated products. Under optimized conditions, we are able to successfully utilize our 1,4-hydrovinylated products as reactive nucleophilic synthons for several electrophilic reactions keeping moderate to good diastereomeric ratios. The silyl enolates can be readily converted into novel enantiopure vinyl triflates, a class of highly versatile cross-coupling reagents, enabling the syntheses of other enantiomerically pure trisubstituted alkene intermediates not easily accessible by current methods.

Book Principles of Asymmetric Synthesis

Download or read book Principles of Asymmetric Synthesis written by R.E. Gawley and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1996-11-21 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is chiral. Most of the molecules in it are chiral, and asymmetric synthesis is an important means by which enantiopure chiral molecules may be obtained for study and sale. Using examples from the literature of asymmetric synthesis (more than 1300 references), the aim of this book is to present a detailed analysis of the factors that govern stereoselectivity in organic reactions. It is important to note that the references were each individually checked by the authors to verify relevance to the topics under discussion. The study of stereoselectivity has evolved from issues of diastereoselectivity, through auxiliary-based methods for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure compounds (diastereoselectivity followed by separation and auxiliary cleavage), to asymmetric catalysis. In the latter instance, enantiomers (not diastereomers) are the products, and highly selective reactions and modern purification techniques allow preparation - in a single step - of chiral substances in 99% ee for many reaction types. After an explanation of the basic physical-organic principles of stereoselectivity, the authors provide a detailed, annotated glossary of stereochemical terms. A chapter on "Analytical Methods" provides a critical overview of the most common methods for analysis of stereoisomers. The authors then follow the 'tried-and-true' format of grouping the material by reaction type. Thus, there are four chapters on carbon-carbon bond forming reactions (enolate alkylations, organometal additions to carbonyls, aldol and Michael reactions, and cycloadditions and rearrangements), one chapter on reductions and hydroborations (carbon-hydrogen bond forming reactions), and one on oxidations (carbon-oxygen and carbon-nitrogen bond forming reactions). Leading references are provided to natural product synthesis that have been accomplished using a given reaction as a key step. In addition to tables of examples that show high selectivity, a transition state analysis is presented to explain - to the current level of understanding - the stereoselectivity of each reaction. In one case (Cram's rule) the evolution of the current theory is detailed from its first tentative (1952) postulate to the current Felkin-Anh-Heathcock formalism. For other reactions, only the currently accepted rationale is presented. Examination of these rationales also exposes the weaknesses of current theories, in that they cannot always explain the experimental observations. These shortcomings provide a challenge for future mechanistic investigations.
