Synthesis and Evaluation of a Broad Range of New Chiral (Aminoalkyl)phosphane Ligands for Asymmetric Hydrogen-Transfer Reduction of Prochiral Ketones

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 19 2003
Matthieu Léautey
Abstract Twenty new chiral (aminoalkyl)phosphane ligands have been prepared from four enantiomerically pure advanced chiral compounds. We describe their use for asymmetric hydrogen-transfer reduction of three prochiral ketones. Enantioselectivities up to 90% were obtained. We investigated the influence on the enantioselectivity of each part of these new (aminoalkyl)phosphane ligands. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003) [source]

Comparative Study of Cyanobacteria as Biocatalysts for the Asymmetric Synthesis of Chiral Building Blocks

ENGINEERING IN LIFE SCIENCES (ELECTRONIC), Issue 2 2006
J. Havel
Abstract The three representative cyanobacteria, Synechococcus PCC7942, Anabaena variabilis, and Nostoc muscorum, were studied for their ability to asymmetrically reduce the prochiral ketones 2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-pentafluoroacetophenone, ethyl 4-chloroacetate, 4-chloroacetophenone, and ethylbenzoylacetate to the corresponding chiral alcohols. Photosynthesis as well as respiration was applied for intracellular regeneration of the NAD(P)H cofactor. It was shown for the first time that all cyanobacteria were able to reduce the prochiral ketones asymmetrically without light for cofactor regeneration. By comparison of the cell specific product formation capacities of cyanobacteria with typical heterotrophic whole cell biocatalysts in batch processes, it is shown that comparable or, in some cases, better performances at high enantiomeric excess (ee > 99.8,%) are obtained. As a consequence of a generally strong product inhibition, in situ product removal must be applied in order to restore process efficiency when using cyanobacteria as biocatalysts. [source]

Hexahydropyrrolo[2,3- b]indoles: A New Class of Structurally Rigid Tricyclic Skeleton for Oxazaborolidine-Catalyzed Asymmetric Borane Reduction

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 7 2010
Jian Xiao
Abstract A new class of structurally rigid tricyclic chiral ligands based on the hexahydropyrrolo[2,3- b]indole skeleton has been rationally designed and the catalytic abilities in asymmetric catalysis have been shown in the enantioselective borane reduction of prochiral ketones to afford the chiral alcohols in excellent yields and high enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee).

Chiral iridium(I) bis(NHC) complexes as catalysts for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation

APPLIED ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 7 2010
Claus Diez
Abstract The common use of NHC complexes in transition-metal mediated C,C coupling and metathesis reactions in recent decades has established N -heterocyclic carbenes as a new class of ligand for catalysis. The field of asymmetric catalysis with complexes bearing NHC-containing chiral ligands is dominated by mixed carbene/oxazoline or carbene/phosphane chelating ligands. In contrast, applications of complexes with chiral, chelating bis(NHC) ligands are rare. In the present work new chiral iridium(I) bis(NHC) complexes and their application in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones are described. A series of chiral bis(azolium) salts have been prepared following a synthetic pathway, starting from L -valinol and the modular buildup allows the structural variation of the ligand precursors. The iridium complexes were formed via a one-pot transmetallation procedure. The prepared complexes were applied as catalysts in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of various prochiral ketones, affording the corresponding chiral alcohols in high yields and moderate to good enantioselectivities of up to 68%. The enantioselectivities of the catalysts were strongly affected by the various, terminal N -substituents of the chelating bis(NHC) ligands. The results presented in this work indicate the potential of bis-carbenes as stereodirecting ligands for asymmetric catalysis and are offering a base for further developments.

Abstract A novel chelated ferrocene-based planar chiral N-heterocyclic carbene-Rh(I) complex was synthesized by a simple method. It was applied to the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of prochiral ketones. Enantioselectivities of up to 67% ee were observed. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Chemo- and Stereoselective Iron-Catalyzed Hydrosilylation of Ketones

CHEMISTRY - AN ASIAN JOURNAL, Issue 7 2010
Daniele Addis
Abstract The reduction of ketones with polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) gives the corresponding alcohols in good to excellent yield applying iron-based catalyst systems. In the case of prochiral ketones, the use of Fe(OAc)2/(S,S)-Me-DuPhos leads to high enantioselectivity up to 99,%,ee. The reaction proceeds in the presence of several functional groups such as esters, halides as well as conjugated double bonds, with high chemoselectivity. The advantage of this protocol is that the reaction requires no activating agents or additives. [source]


Chiral amino amides for the ruthenium(II)-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reaction of ketones in water

CHIRALITY, Issue 1 2010
Jincheng Mao
Abstract The chiral amino amide 3 was derived from L -proline and used for the [RuCl2(p -cymene)]2 -catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of prochiral ketones performed in water. Moderate to good chemical selectivities (up to 95% yield) and enantioselectivities (up to 90% ee) were obtained in the presence of 2 mol % of TBAB (n -Bu4NBr) as the phase transfer catalyst.

Preparation of highly optically pure homochiral sulfide-containing alcohols via oxazaborolidine-catalyzed asymmetric borane reduction of ketones

CHIRALITY, Issue 6 2004
Jiaxi Xu
Abstract Highly optically pure homochiral 1-(4-alkylthiophenyl) alcohols were prepared efficiently and practically via the oxazaborolidine-catalyzed asymmetric borane reduction of prochiral ketones in toluene at 25°C. The coordination of the sulfur atom in the ketones to the boron atom in the catalyst and borane can be inhibited under these reduction conditions. Chirality 16:341,346, 2004. © 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
