Abstract Two series of polymer-bound bifunctional organocatalysts, based on chiral diamine scaffolds, were prepared by solid-phase synthesis. The series, incorporating a single hydrogen bond donor carbamate functionality, was notably more enantioselective in the Michael reaction of acetone and nitrostyrene than the series that includes a double hydrogen bond donor urea moiety, or the polymer-bound diamine that lacks sufficiently acidic protons. The best aminocarbamate catalyst promoted the addition of acetone to nitroolefins with enantioselectivity unmatched by known heterogeneous catalysts. Introduction of a short linear spacer between the support and the scaffold improves the activity but reduces the selectivity of the catalyst. Alternatively, an increase in the reaction yield could be induced by the benzoic acid additive. [source]

Chiral Squaramides as Highly Enantioselective Catalysts for Michael Addition Reactions of 4-Hydroxycoumarins and 4-Hydroxypyrone to ,,,-Unsaturated ,-Keto Esters

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 14 2010
Dan-Qian Xu Prof.
Distance brings forth beauty: The first highly enantioselective organocatalytic Michael addition of 4-hydroxycoumarins and the analogous 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyrone to ,,,-unsaturated ,-keto esters by using chiral squaramides as the organocatalysts is disclosed. The efficiency of the process is attributed to the hydrogen-bonding activation (see scheme). [source]


Enantioselective Cyanosilylation of Ketones Catalyzed by a Nitrogen-Containing Bifunctional Catalyst

Abstract An efficient and optically active, bifunctional tetraaza ligand (2S)- N -{(1R,2R)-2-[(S)-pyrrolidine-2-carboxamido]-1,2-diphenylethyl}pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide has been developed for the addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) to ketones. The bifunctional catalyst system based on a monometallic titanium complex was found to be a highly enantioselective catalyst to provide O -TMS cyanohydrins with up to 94% ee. A possible transition state has been proposed to explain the origin of the activation and asymmetric inductivity. [source]
