    Enhanced Activity and Stereoselectivity of Polystyrene-Supported Proline-Based Organic Catalysts for Direct Asymmetric Aldol Reaction in Water

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 31 2009
    Michelangelo Gruttadauria
    Abstract Several polystyrene-supported proline dipeptides and a prolinamide derivative were prepared by thiol,ene coupling. These materials were used as catalysts for the direct asymmetric aldol reaction in water, and results compared with unsupported catalysts in water. Such an approach gave more active or stereoselective catalysts compared to the unsupported compounds, showing that our immobilization procedure may be useful to develop catalytic materials with enhanced performance. Moreover, these catalysts can be recovered and reused for at least nine times without loss of activity or can be easily regenerated when their activity has decreased. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    Mild Synthesis of ,-Amino-,,,-difluoro Ketones from Acylsilanes and Trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane in a One-Pot Imino Aldol Reaction,

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 20 2005
    Sylvain Jonet
    Abstract ,-Amino-,,,-difluoro ketones have been very conveniently prepared in a one-pot procedure from acylsilanes, trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane and imines. The key intermediate in this reaction is a difluoroenoxysilane. The Lewis acid promoted imino aldol reaction was performed with BF3·OEt2 or under very mild conditions using a catalytic amount of Yb(OTf)3. The reaction with chiral benzylimines occurred in good yield with 52,78,% de. Palladium-catalyzed hydrogenolysis furnished an unprotected ,-amino-,,,-difluoro ketone or a ,-amino-,,,-difluoro alcohol. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    Enantioselective Aldol Reaction using Recyclable Montmorillonite-Entrapped N -(2-Thiophenesulfonyl)prolinamide

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 10 2010
    Noriyuki Hara
    Abstract N -(2-Thiophenesulfonyl)prolinamide could be easily introduced into Montmorillonite by a simple ion-exchange reaction. The asymmetric aldol reactions between various isatins with acetone or acetaldehyde using a heterogeneous Montmorillonite-entrapped organocatalyst afforded products with high enantioselectivity. The catalyst was readily reusable without significant loss of catalytic activity or enantioselectivity. [source]


    Organocatalyzed Highly Enantioselective and anti -Selective Construction of ,-Butenolides through Vinylogous Mukaiyama Aldol Reaction

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 8 2010
    Ning Zhu
    Abstract The formation of chiral ,-butenolides has been achieved with good yields (up to 90%), high enantioselectivity (up to 91%) and diastereoselectivity (up to 9/1, anti -selective) through an organocatalyzed vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction of 2-(trimethylsilyloxy)furan and aldehydes. A wide range of chiral ,-butenolides was obtained under mild conditions by this methodology. [source]


    A Novel Proline-Valinol Thioamide Small Organic Molecule for a Highly Enantioselective Direct Aldol Reaction

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 14-15 2009
    Bing Wang
    Abstract A new prolinethioamide compound 4, prepared from readily available natural amino acid L -proline and amino alcohol L -valinol, has been found to be an active catalyst for the direct aldol reaction of various aldehydes with acetone, cyclohexanone or cyclopentanone at 0,°C. Using only 2,mol% loading of this organocatalyst, the reaction could give high enantioselectivity with up to 96% enantiomeric excess for the reaction of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde with acetone. And as for the cyclohexanone, the excellent diastereoselectivity (anti/syn: 99/1) and enantioselectivity (99% ee) could be achieved when reacted with 3-nitrobenzaldehyde in water in the presence of this thioamide 4. This structurally simple catalyst is a highly efficient prolinethioamide derivative, and the terminal hydroxy group in this catalyst is a primary alcohol which is different from the previously reported prerequisite secondary or tertiary alcohol of prolinamides. Our results suggest a new strategy in the design of diversiform organic catalysts for direct asymmetric aldol reactions and related transformations. [source]


    Asymmetric Aldol Reaction of Ketones with Alkenyl Trichloroacetates Catalyzed by Dibutyltin Dimethoxide and BINAP,Silver(I) Complex: Construction of a Chiral Tertiary Carbon Center

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 11-12 2009
    Akira Yanagisawa
    Abstract A novel aldol reaction of alkenyl trichloroacetates with ,-keto esters was realized by using dibutyltin dimethoxide as a catalyst, which was regenerated by the addition of methanol. The reaction was found to be remarkably accelerated by the addition of a catalytic amount of a bidentate phosphine,silver(I) complex. Use of the BINAP,silver triflate (AgOTf) complex as the chiral co-catalyst resulted in the formation of optically active aldol products possessing a chiral tertiary carbon with up to 93% ee. This catalytic method was further applied to the asymmetric reaction of diketene with methyl benzoylformate. [source]


    Elucidation of Architectural Requirements from a Spacer in Supported Proline-Based Catalysts of Enantioselective Aldol Reaction

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 1-2 2009
    Kerem Goren
    Abstract In order to delineate the properties of the spacer architecture responsible for the strong positive dendritic effect exhibited by polymer-supported proline-based catalysts, we prepared two series of polystyrene-bound model catalysts. The first series was based on a linear and partially dendritic spacers (of reduced branching and valency) imitating the length of the second generation spacer, while the second series was based on the first generation dendron spacer with one functional (proline-terminated) and one non-functional arm. Comparative studies of the model and original (fully dendritic) catalysts in the asymmetric aldol reaction of aromatic aldehydes with acetone disclose the features characteristic to the dendritic architecture, such as proximity between the terminal catalytic units and enhanced branching, as crucial for inducing higher yield and enantioselectivity in catalysis.

    Dendritic Amplification of Stereoselectivity of a Prolinamide-Catalyzed Direct Aldol Reaction

    ISRAEL JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY, Issue 1 2009
    Kazuhiko Mitsui
    Isomeric "compact" and "expanded" dendrimers functionalized with L -prolinamide catalytic units at the periphery were compared as catalysts to monomer controls in the organocatalytic direct aldol condensation. A positive dendritic effect that amplifies the stereoselectivity of the direct aldol condensation was observed for dendrimers 3 and 4, compared with lower molecular weight catalysts L -prolinani-lide 1 and G1 dendron 2. The difference in the compactness between 3 and 4 appears to have less impact on the stereoselectivity than the preorganized multivalency of the dendritic catalysts. [source]


    The Ion Tag Strategy as a Route to Highly Efficient Organocatalysts for the Direct Asymmetric Aldol Reaction

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 1-2 2009
    Marco Lombardo
    Abstract The installation of an imidazolium tag via acetate connection to the C-4 of cis -4-hydroxy- L -proline provides a highly efficient catalyst for the direct asymmetric aldol reaction, that works in a remarkably low catalyst loading (0.1,mol%) affording TONs up to 930 in the case of electron-poor aromatic aldehydes with ee up to >99%.

    New Simple Hydrophobic Proline Derivatives as Highly Active and Stereoselective Catalysts for the Direct Asymmetric Aldol Reaction in Aqueous Medium

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 17 2008
    Francesco Giacalone
    Abstract New 4-substituted acyloxyproline derivatives with different hydrophobic properties of the acyl group were easily synthesized and used as catalysts in the direct asymmetric aldol reaction between cyclic ketones (cyclohexanone and cyclopentanone) and several substituted benzaldehydes. Reactions were carried out using water, this being the best reaction medium examined. Screening of these catalysts showed that compounds bearing the most hydrophobic acyl chains [4-phenylbutanoate and 4-(pyren-1-yl)butanoate] provided better results. The latter catalysts were successfully used in only 2 mol% at room temperature without additives to give aldol products in excellent stereoselectivities. These results demonstrate that derivatization of the proline moiety with the proper simple hydrophobic substituent in the 4-position can furnish highly active and stereoselective catalysts without the need of additional chiral backbones in the molecule. Finally, an explanation of the observed stereoselectivities in the presence of water is provided. [source]


    Efficient Heterogeneous Asymmetric Catalysis of the Mukaiyama Aldol Reaction by Silica- and Ionic Liquid-Supported Lewis Acid Copper(II) Complexes of Bis(oxazolines)

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 2 2008
    S. Doherty
    Abstract Lewis acid complexes based on copper(II) and an imidazolium-tagged bis(oxazoline) have been used to catalyse the asymmetric Mukaiyama aldol reaction between methyl pyruvate and 1-methoxy-1-trimethylsilyloxypropene under homogeneous and heterogeneous conditions. Although the ees obtained in ionic liquid were similar to those found in dichloromethane, there was a significant rate enhancement in the ionic liquid with reactions typically reaching completion within 2,min compared with only 55,% conversion after 60,min in dichloromethane. However, this rate enhancement was offset by lower chemoselectivity in ionic liquids due to the formation of 3-hydroxy-1,3-diphenylbutan-1-one as a by-product. Supporting the catalyst on silica or an imidazolium-modified silica using the ionic liquid or in an ionic liquid-diethyl ether system completely suppressed the formation of this by-product without reducing the enantioselectivity. Although the heterogeneous systems were characterised by a drop in catalytic activity the system could be recycled up to five times without any loss in conversion or ee. [source]


    An Improved Protocol for the Direct Asymmetric Aldol Reaction in Ionic Liquids, Catalysed by Onium Ion-Tagged Prolines

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 11-12 2007
    Marco Lombardo
    Abstract Two onium ion-tagged prolines, imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide-substituted proline 6 and butyldimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide-substituted proline 7, were synthesised and their catalytic activity in the direct asymmetric aldol condensation was studied in ionic liquids. For the reaction of acetone with various aldehydes, using 5,% of the catalyst, the yields of the aldols varied between 50,85,% while the ee values were in the 80,85,% range. Other ketones were studied too, the yields obtained in those cases being in the 35,78,% range while the enantioselectivities varied between 75,94,%. [source]
