Abstract
An efficient catalytic asymmetric Michael-type reaction of azonaphthalenes with 5-aminoisoxazoles has been developed. The reaction was based on the utilization of a chiral phosphoric acid as the catalyst, delivering a large panel of axially chiral heterobiaryl diamines in generally good yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The gram-scale reaction and postmodification of the chiral product demonstrated their potentials in the synthesis of chiral catalysts and ligands. This approach not only provides a useful method for the construction of pentatomic heterobiaryl scaffolds but also offers new members to the axially chiral diamine family with promising applications in synthetic and medicinal chemistry.

Manganese-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Amides and Polyurethanes: Is Catalyst Inhibition an Additional Barrier to the Efficient Hydrogenation of Amides and Their Derivatives? Organometallics 2024; 43:85-93. [PMID: 38274653 PMCID: PMC10806803 DOI: 10.1021/acs.organomet.3c00399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
The hydrogenation of amides and other less electrophilic carbonyl derivatives with an N-C=O functionality requires significant improvements in scope and catalytic activity to be a genuinely useful reaction in industry. Here, we report the results of a study that examined whether such reactions are further disadvantaged by nitrogen-containing compounds such as aliphatic amines acting as inhibitors on the catalysts. In this case, an enantiomerically pure manganese catalyst previously established to be efficient in the hydrogenation of ketones, N-aryl-imines, and esters was used as a prototype of a manganese catalyst. This was accomplished by doping a model ester hydrogenation with various nitrogen-containing compounds and monitoring progress. Following from this, a protocol for the catalytic hydrogenation of amides and polyurethanes is described, including the catalytic hydrogenation of an axially chiral amide that resulted in low levels of kinetic resolution. The hypothesis of nitrogen-containing compounds acting as an inhibitor in the catalytic hydrogenation process has also been rationalized by using spectroscopy (high-pressure infrared (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)) and mass spectrometry studies.

Catalytic atroposelective synthesis of heterobiaryls with vicinal C-C and N-N diaxes via dynamic kinetic resolution. iScience 2023; 26:107978. [PMID: 37822512 PMCID: PMC10562788 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.107978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Reported herein is a highly efficient dynamic kinetic resolution protocol for the atroposelective synthesis of heterobiaryls with vicinal C-C and N-N diaxes. Atropisomers bearing vicinal diaxes mainly exist in o-triaryls, while that of biaryls is highly challenging in terms of the concerted rotation and deplanarization effects. The combination of C-C biaryl with N-N nonbiaryl delivers a novel class of vicinal-diaxis heterobiaryls. For their atroposelective synthesis, the dynamic kinetic resolution enabled by either quinine-catalyzed allylation or isothiourea-catalyzed acylation has been developed, allowing the preparation of a wide range of vicinal-axis heterobiaryls in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities. Atropisomerization experiments revealed that the C-C bond rotation led to diastereomers, and the N-N bond rotation offered enantiomers. Besides, this protocol could be extended to kinetic resolution by employing substrates with a more hindered axis.

Abstract
Enantiomers, where chirality arises from restricted rotation around a single bond, are atropisomers. Due to the unique nature of the origins of their chirality, synthetic strategies to access these compounds in an enantioselective manner differ from those used to prepare enantioenriched compounds containing point chirality arising from an unsymmetrically substituted carbon center. In particular stereodynamic transformations, such as dynamic kinetic resolutions, thermodynamic dynamic resolutions, and deracemizations, which rely on the ability to racemize or interconvert enantiomers, are a promising set of transformations to prepare optically pure compounds in the late stage of a synthetic sequence. Translation of these synthetic approaches from compounds with point chirality to atropisomers requires an expanded toolbox for epimerization/racemization and provides an opportunity to develop a new conceptual framework for the enantioselective synthesis of these compounds.

Abstract
Diaryl ethers are widespread in biologically active compounds, ligands and catalysts. It is known that the diaryl ether skeleton may exhibit atropisomerism when both aryl rings are unsymmetrically substituted with bulky groups. Despite recent advances, only very few catalytic asymmetric methods have been developed to construct such axially chiral compounds. We describe herein a dynamic kinetic resolution approach to axially chiral diaryl ethers via a Brønsted acid catalyzed atroposelective transfer hydrogenation (ATH) reaction of dicarbaldehydes with anilines. The desired diaryl ethers could be obtained in moderate to good chemical yields (up to 79 %) and high enantioselectivities (up to 95 % ee) under standard reaction conditions. Such structural motifs are interesting precursors for further transformations and may have potential applications in the synthesis of chiral ligands or catalysts.

Abstract
![]()
We describe an efficient
catalytic strategy for enantio- and diastereoselective
synthesis of homochiral β-CF3, β-SCF3, and β-OCF3 benzylic alcohols. The approach is
based on dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) with Noyori–Ikariya
asymmetric transfer hydrogenation leading to simultaneous construction
of two contiguous stereogenic centers with up to 99.9% ee, up to 99.9:0.1
dr, and up to 99% isolated yield. The origin of the stereoselectivity
and racemization mechanism of DKR is rationalized by density functional
theory calculations. Applicability of the previously inaccessible
chiral fluorinated alcohols obtained by this method in two directions
is further demonstrated: As building blocks for pharmaceuticals, illustrated
by the synthesis of heat shock protein 90 inhibitor with in vitro
anticancer activity, and in particular, needle-shaped crystals of
representative stereopure products that exhibit either elastic or
plastic flexibility, which opens the door to functional materials
based on mechanically responsive chiral molecular crystals.

Abstract
We report herein an unprecedented atroposelective dynamic kinetic resolution of Bringmann's lactones with C-nucleophiles. By the use of activated isocyanides as the reagent, a wide range of novel axially chiral oxazole-substituted biaryl phenols were accessed in high yields with high enantioselectivities. Key to the success of this process lies in the tandem atroposelective addition of isocyanides to the lactone substrate followed by a rapid cyclization, overcoming the challenge of stereochemical leakage induced by lactol formation.
