Rhodium‐Catalyzed Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Hydrosilylation to Access Silicon‐Stereogenic Center

AbstractStrategies on the construction of enantiomerically pure silicon‐stereogenic silanes generally relies on desymmetrization of prochiral and symmetric substrates. However, dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformations of organosilicon compounds have remained underdeveloped and unforeseen owing to a lack of an effective method for deracemization of the static silicon stereocenters. Here we report the first Rh‐catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric intramolecular hydrosilylation (DyKAH) with “silicon‐centered” racemic hydrosilanes that enables the facile preparation of silicon‐stereogenic benzosiloles in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities. The special rhodium catalyst controlled by non‐diastereopure‐type mixed phosphine‐phosphoramidite ligand with axial chirality and multiple stereocenters can induce enantioselectivity efficiently in this novel DyKAH reaction. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the amide moiety in chiral ligand plays important role in facilitating the SN2 substitution of chloride ion to realize the chiral inversion of silicon center.

Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformation of Racemic Diastereomers: Diastereo- and Enantioconvergent Michael-Henry Reactions to Afford Spirooxindoles Bearing Furan-Fused Rings.

Dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) reactions of racemic diastereomer mixtures that afford the products as essentially single diastereomers with high enantioselectivities are described. We demonstrated the DYKAT in the diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of spirooxindoles bearing furan-fused rings. The starting materials of the DYKAT, dihydrobenzofuranone derivatives, were synthesized in racemic diastereomer mixtures, and these were transformed to the spirooxindole derivatives in high yields with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities through Michael-Henry cascade reactions with nitrostyrenes under organocatalytic conditions. In the reactions, regardless the stereochemistry of the starting materials, all the four isomers were transformed to single diastereomers with high enantioselectivities, and four new chiral centers were created.

Rh-catalyzed asymmetric Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling

Pd-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformations with racemic allylic electrophiles and stabilized nucleophiles have been widely developed. Our group previously reported a Cu-catalyzed addition of alkyl nucleophiles to racemic allyl halides. Due to the importance of the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling, we became interested in developing analogous reactions using sp2-hybridized boronic acid nucleophiles. We developed a Rh-catalyzed asymmetric Csp2-Csp3 cross-coupling of arylboronic acids and racemic allyl halides.

Palladium-Catalyzed Functionalization of Olefins and Alkynes: From Oxyalkynylation to Tethered Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformations (DYKAT)

AbstractThis review presents an account of the palladium-catalyzed functionalizations of alkenes and alkynes developed at the Laboratory of Catalysis and Organic Synthesis (LCSO). Starting from the intramolecular oxy- and aminoalkynylation of alkenes, tethered methods were then developed to functionalize allylic amines and alcohols, as well as propargylic amines. Finally, a new dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation was developed based on the use of a ‘one-arm’ Trost-type ligand, giving access to enantiopure amino alcohols. Each section is a personal account by the researcher(s) who performed the work.1 Introduction,2 Oxy- and Aminoalkynylation of Olefins,3 In Situ Tethering Strategies for the Synthesis of Vicinal Amino Alcohols and Diamines,4 Carboamination of Allylic Alcohols,5 Carbooxygenation of Propargylic Amines,6 Enantioselective Carboetherification/Hydrogenation via a Catalytically Formed Chiral Auxiliary,7 Conclusion

Highly Enantioselective Hiyama Cross-Coupling via Rh-Catalyzed Allylic Arylation of Racemic Allyl Chlorides.

Highly enantioselective Hiyama cross-coupling reactions have been achieved through rhodium(I)-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformations between aryl siloxanes and cyclic racemic allyl halides. This process affords valuable enantiomerically enriched aryl-substituted cyclic allyl products and is compatible with heterocyclic allyl chloride electrophiles.

Lewis Acid Catalyzed Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformation of Racemic N-Sulfonylaziridines.

The first Lewis acid catalyzed stereoconvergent transformation of racemic 2-(hetero)aryl- N-sulfonylaziridines via C-N bond cleavage with nucleophiles is presented. This includes the [3 + 2] annulations with (hetero)aromatic aldehydes and 1,3-disubstituted indoles, asymmetric Friedel-Crafts type reaction with electron-rich (hetero)arenes, and asymmetric aminolysis with amines, providing facile access to chiral 1,3-isoxazolidines, pyrroloindolines, 2-(hetero)arylphenethylamines, and vicinal diamines. This method features a simple and cheaply available complex of Cu(I)-chiral BINAP catalyst, excellent yield and high diastereo- and enantioselectivities, and mild reaction conditions. A mechanism involving type I dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformations (DyKATs) of the racemic aziridines is proposed based on the results of control experiments.

Enantioselective Synthesis of 1,2-Diamines Containing Tertiary and Quaternary Centers through Rhodium-Catalyzed DYKAT of Racemic Allylic Trichloroacetimidates.

The amination of racemic secondary and tertiary allylic trichloroacetimidates possessing β-nitrogen substituents and proximal nitrogen-containing heterocycles, via chiral diene-ligated rhodium-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformations (DYKAT), provides branched allylic 1,2-diamines with high enantioselectivity. The catalytic system can be applied to the synthesis of 1,2-diamines possessing two contiguous stereocenters with excellent diastereoselectivity. Furthermore, the nitrogen-containing heterocycles suppress competing vinyl azirdine formation, allowing for the high enantioselective syntheses of 1,2-diamines possessing tertiary and quaternary centers.

Mechanistic Studies on a Cu-Catalyzed Asymmetric Allylic Alkylation with Cyclic Racemic Starting Materials.

Mechanistic studies on Cu-catalyzed asymmetric additions of alkylzirconocene nucleophiles to racemic allylic halide electrophiles were conducted using a combination of isotopic labeling, NMR spectroscopy, kinetic modeling, structure-activity relationships, and new reaction development. Kinetic and dynamic NMR spectroscopic studies provided insight into the oligomeric Cu-ligand complexes, which evolve during the course of the reaction to become faster and more highly enantioselective. The Cu-counterions play a role in both selecting different pathways and in racemizing the starting material via formation of an allyl iodide intermediate. We quantify the rate of Cu-catalyzed allyl iodide isomerization and identify a series of conditions under which the formation and racemization of the allyl iodide occurs. We developed reaction conditions where racemic allylic phosphates are suitable substrates using new phosphoramidite ligand D. D also allows highly enantioselective addition to racemic seven-membered-ring allyl chlorides for the first time. 1H and 2H NMR spectroscopy experiments on reactions using allylic phosphates showed the importance of allyl chloride intermediates, which form either by the action of TMSCl or from an adventitious chloride source. Overall these studies support a mechanism where complex oligomeric catalysts both racemize the starting material and select one enantiomer for a highly enantioselective reaction. It is anticipated that this work will enable extension of copper-catalyzed asymmetric reactions and provide understanding on how to develop dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformations more broadly.

Advances in Stereoconvergent Catalysis from 2005 to 2015: Transition-Metal-Mediated Stereoablative Reactions, Dynamic Kinetic Resolutions, and Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformations.

Stereoconvergent catalysis is an important subset of asymmetric synthesis that encompasses stereoablative transformations, dynamic kinetic resolutions, and dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformations. Initially, only enzymes were known to catalyze dynamic kinetic processes, but recently various synthetic catalysts have been developed. This Review summarizes major advances in nonenzymatic, transition-metal-promoted dynamic asymmetric transformations reported between 2005 and 2015.

The Use of Porous Palladium(II)‐polyimine in Cooperatively‐ catalyzed Highly Enantioselective Cascade Transformations

AbstractPorous organic polymers have prospects as functional substrates for catalysis, with quite different molecular properties from inorganic substrates. Here we disclose for the first time that porous palladium(II)‐polyimines are excellent catalysts for cooperatively catalyzed and enantioselective cascade reactions. In synergy with a chiral amine co‐catalyst, polysubstituted cyclopentenes and spirocyclic oxindoles, including the all‐carbon quaternary stereocenter, were synthesized in high yields. High diastereo‐ and enantioselectivities were achieved for these dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformations (DYKAT) of enals with propargylic nucleophiles.magnified image
