- Chiral Monophosphites and Monophosphonites as Ligands in Asymmetric Transition Metal Catalysis
-
Chiral monophosphites and monophosphonites derived from BINOL are more effective ligands in enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenation of olefins, as compared to bidentate bis-phosphites. An appreciable increase in enantioselectivity is attained with the use of mixtures of two different monodentate phosphites and phosphonites in rhodium-catalyzed hydrogentation.

- Selective flux of organic liquids and solids using nanoporous membranes of polydicyclopentadiene
-
Membranes were fabricated from the ring opening metathesis polymerization of dicyclopentadiene with the Grubbs first generation catalyst, and the permeability of twenty-one molecules through them was studied. Both polar and apolar molecules with molecular weights from 101 to 583 g mol-1 permeated these membranes with values for flux of 10-5 to 10 -6 mol cm-2 h-1 but selected molecules did not permeate them and had flux 104 to 105 times slower. The difference in flux was large between molecules that permeated and those that did not permeate, but no trend was observed that correlated flux with molecular weight or hydrophobicity. Rather, molecules that did not permeate the membranes had large cross-sectional areas that led to low rates of diffusion within the highly cross-linked polydicyclopentadiene membranes. The degree of cross-linking within the polydicyclopentadiene membranes was measured using infrared spectroscopy and approximately 84% of the dicyclopentadiene monomer had reacted to form cross-links. These are the first organic solvent nanofiltration membranes that separate molecules with molecular weights from 100 to 600 g mol-1 based on cross-sectional areas.

- Fluorinated alcohols as solvents for enantioselective hydrognation with chiral self-assembling rhodium catalysts
-
We herein describe the beneficial effect of fluorinated alcohols on asymmetric hydrogenation using chiral self-assembling rhodium complexes. Previously, the application of these catalysts has been hampered by low reaction rates in non-polar solvents, which are essential for establishing the self-assembling architecture via hydrogen bonding. Excellent reaction rates are usually observed in alcohols as solvents, but the characteristic hydrogen bonds are cleaved in those media, resulting in poor ee values. We now show for the first time that the disadvantageous properties of both solvent classes on the catalytic reaction can be overcome by using fluorinated alcohols. Due to this key finding, homogeneous catalysis with self-assembling catalysts is much closer to practical application.

- Rh(I) coordination chemistry of hexacationic Dendriphos ligands and their application in hydroformylation catalysis
-
The coordination chemistry of hexacationic Dendriphos ligands L* with respect to Rh(I), as well as their application in Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation reactions, is described. Complexes of the type RhCl(CO)(L*)2 were synthesized and characterized. The results show that Dendriphos ligands are weaker σ-donors and/or stronger π-acceptors compared to PPh 3. The reaction of L* with [Rh(cod)2]BF4 in MeCN afforded monophosphine-Rh(I) complexes of the type Rh(cod)(MeCN) (L*), which points to the tendency of these ligands to form coordinatively unsaturated metal complexes. The catalytic performance of Dendriphos ligands in the Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation appeared to be dominated by steric effects arising from the large dendritic shells of these ligands. Furthermore, the possibility of tuning the catalytic activity and selectivity of the catalytic species, by changing the six counteranions of the hexacationic Dendriphos ligand, has been investigated. Changing the anions from BF4- to the chiral anions camphorsulphonate or Δ-Trisphat did not render the hydroformylation reaction of styrene enantioselective, albeit small changes in its regioselectivity were observed.

- Recycling of homogeneous hydrogenation catalysts by dialysis coupled catalysis
-
Although transition-metal complexes are very attractive as homogeneous catalysts in fine chemistry, their high prices often limit their applications. A means to recycle those catalysts would solve this problem and would simultaneously facilitate the downstream purification of the product. This is now realized in a new concept in which homogeneous catalysis is coupled to dialysis. The advantages of homogeneous catalysis (off-the-shelf catalysts, high activities and selectivities) are thus combined with those of heterogeneous catalysis (easy catalyst separation from product solution, reuse of catalyst, and possibility for continuous operation). Since the heart of the process is the membrane, self-prepared membranes were preferred as they allow a better control and understanding of the separation characteristics. Rhodamine B was used as a probe molecule to define the working conditions of the membrane. The concept is proven to work for two relevant chiral reactions: a hydrogenation with Ru-BINAP and a hydrogen transfer reaction with Ru-TsDPEN [BINAP = (1,1′-binaphthalene)-2,2′-diylbis(diphenylphosphine); TsDPEN = tosyl-N′N-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediamine].

- New reactors and methods for the investigation of homogeneous catalysis

New methods and reactors for the kinetic investigation of homogeneous catalysis are described. These are oriented towards the minimisation of the amount of catalyst required for testing new catalytic reactions, kinetics determination and/or catalyst selection. The use of the centrifugal partition chromatograph (CPC) as a chromatographic catalytic reactor for steady-state and transient kinetics is reported. Examples are given which involve monophasic and biphasic reductions. The former is the enantioselective reduction of acetophenone to 2-phenylethanol by isopropanol catalysed by a Rh/chiral diamine system. The biphasic reductions are: (i) the reduction of benzaldehyde into benzylic alcohol catalysed with a Ru/TPPTS complex and (ii) the reduction of dimethylitaconate into dimethylmethylsuccinate catalysed with a Rh/TPPTS complex, both reductions taking place in cyclohexane/water mixtures with sodium formate as the hydrogen transfer reagent. Finally, for first order reactions, analytical solutions are found which demonstrate that kinetic parameters can be readily obtained by using the CPC as a chromatographic reactor in the transient (pulse) mode.

- α-Phosphanyl amino acids: Diphenylphosphanyl glycines with a chiral N-substituent

The first α-phosphanyl amino acetic acids (phosphanyl glycines) with a chiral N-substituent 1a–g have been synthesized by one-pot three-component condensation of diphenylphosphane and enantiomerically pure primary amines of the type (L)- or (R)-R1R2CHNH2with glyoxylic acid monohydrate in diethyl ether at room temperature. Crystals of the N-(1S)-phenylethyl derivative 1d·MeOH, grown from methanol, contained only the (1S,αS)-diastereoisomer. In [d8]THF or CD3OD solution, however, two diastereoisomers were always observed for 1a–g, usually in a diastereoisomeric ratio in the range 67:33% to 80:20%. This, together with the general sensitivity of the phosphanylglycines to hydrolysis, H-D exchange at the acidic α-CH and facile air oxidation in CD3OD solution and decarboxylation on heating in aprotic solvents are serious shortcomings and militate against the use as ligands, e.g. in Rh- or Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations. Nickel catalysts, generated in situ with Ni(COD)2in THF and/or 1-hexene, proved however more stable and allowed selective oligomerization of ethylene at 100?°C, probably by formation of a stabilizing [Formula presented])O?hybrid ligand in the catalyst backbone. Complexes and catalysts of this type might thus offer chances for use of this facile available asymmetric ligands.

Rh diphosphine complexes using DuPhos and JosiPhos as chiral ligands have been immobilised by ion exchange into the mesoporous material MCM-4]. When used as catalysts for the enantioselective hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate and methyl-2-acetamidoacrylate. these heterogeneous catalysts give catalytic performance in terms of yield and enantioselection that arc comparable to the corresponding homogeneous catalysts. Furthermore, the heterogeneous catalysts can be readily recovered and reused without loss of catalyst performance. A second immobilisation strategy is described in which [Rh(COD)2] +BF44- is initially immobilised by ion exchange and subsequently modified by the chiral diphosphine and this give comparable catalyst performance. This immobilisation strategy opens up the possibility of easy ligand-screening for parallel synthesis and libraries. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2005.

- Asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral olefins catalysed by furanoside thioether-phosphinite Rh(I) and Ir(I) complexes
-
Thioether-phosphinite ligands (P-SR, R = Ph, Pri and Me) bearing substituents with different steric demands on the sulfur centre were tested in the rhodium- and iridium-catalysed asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral olefins. High enantiomeric excesses (up to 96%) and good activities (TOF up to 860 mol product × (mol catalyst precursor × h)-1) were obtained for α-acylaminoacrylates derivatives. Our results show that enantiomeric excesses depended strongly on the steric properties of the substituent in the thioether moiety, the metal source and the substrate structure. A bulky group in the thioether moiety along with the metal Rh had a positive effect on enantioselectivity. Reaction of these chiral ligands with [M(cod)2]BF4 (M = Ir, Rh; cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) yielded complexes [M(cod)(P-SR)]BF4, which were present in only one diastereomeric form having the sulfur substituent in a pseudoaxial disposition. The addition of H2 to iridium complexes gave the cis- dihydridoiridium(III) complexes [IrH2(cod)(P-SR)]BF4. For complexes [IrH2(cod)(P-SPh)]BF4 and [IrH 2(cod)(P-SMe)] only one isomer was present in solution. However, for the complex [IrH2(cod)(P-Si-Pr)]BF4, which contained the more hindered substituent on sulfur, two isomers were detected. In all cases there was a pseudoaxial disposition of the sulfur substituents. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2005.

- Preparation of enantiomerically pure [3]ferrocenophane-based chelate bis-phosphane ligands and their use in asymmetric alternating carbon monoxide/propene copolymerization
-
An intramolecular Mannich reaction (HNMe2, TiCl4) was used to convert 1,1′-diacetylferrocene to the unsaturated amino[3]ferrocenophane 2. Subsequent hydrogenation gave 3. To obtain enantiomerically pure chelate P,P-[3]ferrocenophane ligands the readily available pure dimethylamino[3]ferrocenophane enantiomers (R,R)-3 and (S,S)-3 each were treated with butyllithium followed by chlorodiphenylphosphane to yield the chelate P,N-[3]ferrocenophanes (R,R,Rpl)-10 and (S,S,S pl)-10, respectively. Their treatment with HPPh2 in glacial acetic acid resulted in substitution of the -NMe2 group by -PPh2 with overall retention of configuration to yield (R,R,R pl)-11 and (S,S,Spl)-11, respectively (both characterized by X-ray diffraction). Similarly, the reaction of (R,R,Rpl)-10 or (S,S,Spl)-10 with dicyclohexylphosphane/HOAc yielded the pure (R,R,Rpl)-12 and (S,S,Spl)-12 enantiomers, respectively. Both these compounds were also characterized by X-ray crystal structure analyses. (R,R,Rpl)-12 was employed in catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation and also in asymmetric alternating carbon monoxide/propene copolymerization. A catalyst that was generated in situ from the chelate P,P-[3]ferrocenophane ligand and palladium acetate gave the CO/propene alternating copolymer with a good activity and high asymmetric induction. The catalyst derived from the reaction of (R,R,Rpl)-11 with [Rh(cod) 2]BF4 was employed in the enantioselective hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate (DMI) (13, ca. 95% ee, R-configured product) and methyl α-acetamidocinnamate (MAC) 14 (ca. 24% ee, R-configured product).

The dendrimers obtained were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis as well as FAB and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, which established their molecular masses of up to 20 700 amu. Metalation of the multi-site phosphines with [Rh(COD)2]- BF4 cleanly yielded the cationic rhododendrimers containing up to 32 metal centers (for the fourth generation species), representing the largest chiral phosphine dendrimer catalyst studied to date. The complete metalation of the chiral phosphine sites was demonstrated by 31P NMR spectroscopy and the observation of the coordination-shifted AB part of the ABX spin system (δA = 33.9, δB = 32.9; 1JRh.P = 150, 153 Hz; 2JP.P = 28 Hz). The relationship between the size/generation of the dendrimer and its catalytic properties was established in the asymmetric hydrogenation of Z- methyl-α-acetamidocinammate and dimethyl itaconate. A decrease in both activity and selectivity of the dendrimer catalysts was observed on going to the higher generations.

- A fully integrated continuous-flow system for asymmetric catalysis: Enantioselective hydrogenation with supported ionic liquid phase catalysts using supercritical CO2 as the mobile phase
-
A continuous-flow process based on a chiral transition-metal complex in a supported ionic liquid phase (SILP) with supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2) as the mobile phase is presented for asymmetric catalytic transformations of low-volatility organic substrates at mild reaction temperatures. Enantioselectivity of >99 % ee and quantitative conversion were achieved in the hydrogenation of dimethylitaconate for up to 30 h, reaching turnover numbers beyond 100 000 for the chiral QUINAPHOS-rhodium complex. By using an automated high-pressure continuous-flow setup, the product was isolated in analytically pure form without the use of any organic co-solvent and with no detectable catalyst leaching. Phase-behaviour studies and high-pressure NMR spectroscopy assisted the localisation of optimum process parameters by quantification of substrate partitioning between the IL and scCO2. Fundamental insight into the molecular interactions of the metal complex, ionic liquid and the surface of the support in working SILP catalyst materials was gained by means of systematic variations, spectroscopic studies and labelling experiments. In concert, the obtained results provided a rationale for avoiding progressive long-term deactivation. The optimised system reached stable selectivities and productivities that correspond to 0.7 kg L-1 h -1 space-time yield and at least 100 kg product per gram of rhodium, thus making such processes attractive for larger-scale application.

The rhodium complexes derived from diphosphoramidite ligands that contain two (R) or (S) BINOL (2,2-dihydroxy-1,1-binaphthyl) units proved to be efficient catalysts, giving complete conversion and very good enantioselectivity (up to 88% ee). An uncommon positive H2 pressure effect on the enantioselectivity was observed in the hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate catalyzed by Rh-complex with diphosphoramidite ligand that contains two (S)-binaphthol moieties.

The catalytic reduction of acetophenone, methyl α-acetamidocinnamate, and dimethyl itaconate with alcohol-modified sodium borohydride was studied in the presence of complexes CoCl2·L2 (L2 are chiral C 2-symmetric diamines: (4S,5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5- bis(aminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane, (4S, 5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(methylaminomethyl) -1,3-dioxolane, (4S, 5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(dimethylaminomethyl)-1,3- dioxolane, and (4S, 5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylaminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane) . The maximum enantiomeric excess of (S)-1-phenylethanol was 24%, that of dimethyl α-methylsuccinate was 38%.

- Assisted Tandem Catalysis: Metathesis Followed by Asymmetric Hydrogenation from a Single Ruthenium Source
-
Here we report the first example of a tandem metathesis-asymmetric hydrogenation protocol where the prochiral olefin generated by metathesis is hydrogenated with high enantioselectivity by an in situ formed chiral ruthenium catalyst. We show that either the ruthenium metathesis catalysts or the ruthenium species formed during the metathesis reaction can be converted into an efficient asymmetric hydrogenation catalyst upon addition of a chiral ligand and an alcohol. The performance in asymmetric hydrogenation appears to be very dependent on the solvent, the chiral ligand, and the prochiral substrate.

- Continuous asymmetric hydrogenation in supercritical carbon dioxide using an immobilised homogeneous catalyst
-
Continuous flow supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) has previously been shown (P. Stephenson, P. Licence, S. K. Ross, M. Poliakoff, Green Chem. 2004, 6, 521) to be a viable medium for conducting continuous asymmetric hydrogenation when it is combined with an appropriate enantioselective catalyst. Here we examine the use of a composite catalyst immobilisation system modified with several different types of asymmetric bisphosphine ligands in continuous flow ScCO2. In particular, proprietary ligands from Solvias AG were found to be the most successful, with Josiphos 001 improving the enantiomeric excess (ee) to > 80 % in the asymmetric hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate (DMIT); this ee is higher than that reported for the batch hydrogenation of DMIT using a homogeneous catalyst fully dissolved in scCO2 (S. Lange, A. Brinkmann, P. Trautner, K. Woelk, J. Bargon, W. Leitner, Chirality 2000, 12, 450).

- Asymmetric hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate catalysed by rhodium chelates of aminophosphine phosphinites: A kinetic and NMR spectroscopical study
-
The asymmetric hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate in the presence of cationic seven-membered ring aminophosphine phosphinite rhodium(I)-cyclooctadiene complexes derived from Propranolol (PROPRAPHOS-Rh derivatives) can be described by the Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Variation of the nitrogen substituent in the aminophosphine phosphinite moiety of the rhodium catalyst causes a change in the concentration of the catalyst-substrate complexes. This is especially high in the case of the N-cyclohexyl derivative as follows from the Michaelis constants. 31P NMR spectra of this compound gave signals of three catalyst-substrate complexes due to the different phosphorus donors: one minor- and two major-complexes. A second minor-complex could not be observed. Line-shape analysis indicates the intramolecular interconversion between diastereomeric catalyst-substrate complexes, being in favour of the intermolecular processes as found already for bis(phosphinite) chelates.

- Correlation between the Selectivity and the Structure of an Asymmetric Catalyst Built on a Chirally Amplified Supramolecular Helical Scaffold
-
For the first time, supramolecular helical rods composed of an achiral metal complex and a complementary enantiopure monomer provided a good level of enantioinduction in asymmetric catalysis. Mixtures containing an achiral ligand monomer (BTAPPh2, 2 mol %) and an enantiopure ligand-free comonomer (ester BTA, 2.5 mol %), both possessing a complementary benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) central unit, were investigated in combination with [Rh(cod)2]BArF (1 mol %) in the asymmetric hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate. Notably, efficient chirality transfer occurs within the hydrogen-bonded coassemblies formed by BTA Ile and the intrinsically achiral catalytic rhodium catalyst, providing the hydrogenation product with up to 85% ee. The effect of the relative content of BTA Ile as compared to the ligand was investigated. The amount of chiral comonomer can be decreased down to one-fourth of that of the ligand without deteriorating the enantioselectivity of the reaction, while the enantioselectivity decreases for mixtures containing high amounts of BTA Ile. The nonlinear relationship between the amount of chiral comonomer and the enantioselectivity indicates that chirality amplification effects are at work in this catalytic system. Also, right-handed helical rods are formed upon co-assembly of the achiral rhodium complex of BTAPPh2 and the enantiopure comonomer BTA Ile as confirmed by various spectroscopic and scattering techniques. Remarkably, the major enantiomer and the selectivity of the catalytic reaction are related to the handedness and the net helicity of the coassemblies, respectively. Further development of this class of catalysts built on chirally amplified helical scaffolds should contribute to the design of asymmetric catalysts operating with low amounts of chiral entities.

- Using Data Science To Guide Aryl Bromide Substrate Scope Analysis in a Ni/Photoredox-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling with Acetals as Alcohol-Derived Radical Sources
-
Ni/photoredox catalysis has emerged as a powerful platform for C(sp2)–C(sp3) bond formation. While many of these methods typically employ aryl bromides as the C(sp2) coupling partner, a variety of aliphatic radical sources have been investigated. In principle, these reactions enable access to the same product scaffolds, but it can be hard to discern which method to employ because nonstandardized sets of aryl bromides are used in scope evaluation. Herein, we report a Ni/photoredox-catalyzed (deutero)methylation and alkylation of aryl halides where benzaldehyde di(alkyl) acetals serve as alcohol-derived radical sources. Reaction development, mechanistic studies, and late-stage derivatization of a biologically relevant aryl chloride, fenofibrate, are presented. Then, we describe the integration of data science techniques, including DFT featurization, dimensionality reduction, and hierarchical clustering, to delineate a diverse and succinct collection of aryl bromides that is representative of the chemical space of the substrate class. By superimposing scope examples from published Ni/photoredox methods on this same chemical space, we identify areas of sparse coverage and high versus low average yields, enabling comparisons between prior art and this new method. Additionally, we demonstrate that the systematically selected scope of aryl bromides can be used to quantify population-wide reactivity trends and reveal sources of possible functional group incompatibility with supervised machine learning.

- Mechanistically Guided One Pot Synthesis of Phosphine-Phosphite and Its Implication in Asymmetric Hydrogenation
-
Although hybrid bidentate ligands are known to yield highly enantioselective products in asymmetric hydrogenation (AH), synthesis of these ligands is an arduous process. Herein, a one pot, atom-economic synthesis of a hybrid phosphine-phosphite (L1) is reported. After understanding the reactivity difference between an O-nucleophile versus C-nucleophile, one pot synthesis of Senphos (L1) was achieved (72 %). When L1 was treated with [Rh], 31P NMR revealed bidentate coordination to Rh. Senphos, in the presence of rhodium, catalyzes the AH of Methyl-2-acetamido-3-phenylacrylate and discloses an unprecedented turn over frequency of 2289, along with excellent enantio-selectivity (92 %). The generality is demonstrated by hydrogenating an array of alkenes. The AH operates under mild conditions of 1–2 bar H2 pressure, at room temperature. The practical relevance of L1 is demonstrated by scaling-up the reaction to 1 g and by synthesizing DOPA, a drug widely employed for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Computational insights indicate that the R isomer is preferred by 3.8 kcal/mol over the S isomer.

- PHANE-TetraPHOS, the First D2 Symmetric Chiral Tetraphosphane. Synthesis, Metal Complexation, and Application in Homogeneous Stereoselective Hydrogenation
-
PHANE-TetraPHOS, a new D2 symmetric tetraphosphane based on the [2.2]paracyclophane scaffold, has been synthesized and characterized. The peculiarity of this system is the presence of four homotopic diphenylphosphane groups, exchangeable through C2 symmetry operations and consequently indistinguishable. Their spatial arrangement allows the simultaneous complexation of two metal atoms. Enantiomeric purity was attained at tetra-phosphane oxide level by fractional crystallization of the diastereomeric adducts obtained from the racemate with enantiopure dibenzoyltartaric acids. Alkaline treatment of diastereomerically pure adducts followed by exhaustive P?O groups reduction with HSiCl3 gave both PHANE-TetraPHOS antipodes in an enantiopure state. They were tested as rhodium ligands in the homogeneous enantioselective hydrogenation of some benchmark unsaturated compounds. Catalytic activity and enantiodiscrimination ability were found comparable to those exhibited by the complexes of the parent bidentate ligand PHANEPHOS, but only half a mole of precious chiral ligand was employed.

- A robust and stereocomplementary panel of ene-reductase variants for gram-scale asymmetric hydrogenation
-
We report an engineered panel of ene-reductases (ERs) from Thermus scotoductus SA-01 (TsER) that combines control over facial selectivity in the reduction of electron deficient C[dbnd]C double bonds with thermostability (up to 70 °C), organic solvent tolerance (up to 40 % v/v) and a broad substrate scope (23 compounds, three new to literature). Substrate acceptance and facial selectivity of 3-methylcyclohexenone was rationalized by crystallisation of TsER C25D/I67T and in silico docking. The TsER variant panel shows excellent enantiomeric excess (ee) and yields during bi-phasic preparative scale synthesis, with isolated yield of up to 93 % for 2R,5S-dihydrocarvone (3.6 g). Turnover frequencies (TOF) of approximately 40 000 h?1 were achieved, which are comparable to rates in hetero- and homogeneous metal catalysed hydrogenations. Preliminary batch reactions also demonstrated the reusability of the reaction system by consecutively removing the organic phase (n-pentane) for product removal and replacing with fresh substrate. Four consecutive batches yielded ca. 27 g L?1 R-levodione from a 45 mL aqueous reaction, containing less than 17 mg (10 μM) enzyme and the reaction only stopping because of acidification. The TsER variant panel provides a robust, highly active and stereocomplementary base for further exploitation as a tool in preparative organic synthesis.

These borates were prepared using 2,2′-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)diphenol as a tridentate ligand together with organoboronic acids or potassium trifluoroborates. The ready availability of organoboron compounds is a significant advantage of this direct photoexcitation protocol. The excited states of these borates can also serve as strong reductants, enabling various transformations.

- Chiral phosphine-phosphoramidite ester ligand as well as preparation method and application thereof
-
The invention provides a method for preparing a phosphine-phosphoramidite ester ligand from a chiral beta-aminophosphine intermediate and an application of the phosphine-phosphoramidite ester ligand in an asymmetric reaction. Chiral N-(2-(phosphoryl)-1-phenethyl) amide is prepared from the chiral beta-aminophosphine intermediate through an asymmetric hydrogenation reaction of (Z)-(alpha-aryl-beta-phosphoryl) alkenyl amide, and then hydrolysis reduction. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving newly-prepared chlorinated phosphite in toluene, adding a solution formed by dissolving the chiral phosphine-amine compound and triethylamine in toluene into an ice-water bath according to a molar ratio of the chiral phosphine-amine compound to the chlorinated phosphite to the triethylamine of 1: (1-2): (3-5), heating the reaction solution to 18-25 DEG C, stirring and reacting for 10-30 hours, filtering, and carrying out column chromatography to remove the solvent, and recrystallizing to obtain the required phosphine-phosphoramidite ligand. According to the present invention, the asymmetric hydrogenation reaction of the catalyst formed by the ligand and the metal precursor on the double bonds such as C = C, C = N, C = O and the like can achieve the enantioselectivity of 99%; the catalyst is high in activity, and TON reaches up to 10000.

- Photocatalytic Hydromethylation and Hydroalkylation of Olefins Enabled by Titanium Dioxide Mediated Decarboxylation
-
A versatile method for the hydromethylation and hydroalkylation of alkenes at room temperature is achieved by using the photooxidative redox capacity of the valence band of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2). Mechanistic studies support a radical-based mechanism involving the photoexcitation of TiO2 with 390 nm light in the presence of acetic acid and other carboxylic acids to generate methyl and alkyl radicals, respectively, without the need for stoichiometric base. This protocol is accepting of a broad scope of alkene and carboxylic acids, including challenging ones that produce highly reactive primary alkyl radicals and those containing functional groups that are susceptible to nucleophilic substitution such as alkyl halides. This methodology highlights the utility of using heterogeneous semiconductor photocatalysts such as TiO2 for promoting challenging organic syntheses that rely on highly reactive intermediates.

- Inexpensive and rapid hydrogenation catalyst from CuSO4/CoCl2 — Chemoselective reduction of alkenes and alkynes in the presence of benzyl protecting groups
-
The simple reduction of a number of alkenes and alkynes was performed with a typical reaction time of 20 min using a copper-cobalt catalytic system. The reduction did not cleave benzyl protecting groups which are usually vulnerable to catalytic hydrogenation reactions. The catalyst can be prepared in situ by reduction of the inexpensive precursor salts CuSO4 and CoCl2 with NaBH4. Sodium borohydride was also used as an easily handled hydrogen source for the catalytic reductions. No pressure, heating or inert atmosphere is required and purification/catalyst removal is achieved using extraction procedures, making this approach simple and efficient.

- Single-Site Cobalt Catalysts at New Zr8(μ2-O)8(μ2-OH)4 Metal-Organic Framework Nodes for Highly Active Hydrogenation of Alkenes, Imines, Carbonyls, and Heterocycles
-
We report here the synthesis of robust and porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), M-MTBC (M = Zr or Hf), constructed from the tetrahedral linker methane-tetrakis(p-biphenylcarboxylate) (MTBC) and two types of secondary building units (SBUs): cubic M8(μ2-O)8(μ2-OH)4 and octahedral M6(μ3-O)4(μ3-OH)4. While the M6-SBU is isostructural with the 12-connected octahedral SBUs of UiO-type MOFs, the M8-SBU is composed of eight MIV ions in a cubic fashion linked by eight μ2-oxo and four μ2-OH groups. The metalation of Zr-MTBC SBUs with CoCl2, followed by treatment with NaBEt3H, afforded highly active and reusable solid Zr-MTBC-CoH catalysts for the hydrogenation of alkenes, imines, carbonyls, and heterocycles. Zr-MTBC-CoH was impressively tolerant of a range of functional groups and displayed high activity in the hydrogenation of tri- and tetra-substituted alkenes with TON > 8000 for the hydrogenation of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene. Our structural and spectroscopic studies show that site isolation of and open environments around the cobalt-hydride catalytic species at Zr8-SBUs are responsible for high catalytic activity in the hydrogenation of a wide range of challenging substrates. MOFs thus provide a novel platform for discovering and studying new single-site base-metal solid catalysts with enormous potential for sustainable chemical synthesis.

Six chiral MOP-phosphonites have been synthesised and compared via experimental and computational methods in an effort to quantify their differing structural and electronic profiles. They were found to be electron-poor ligands in comparison to their arylphosphine analogues and have a larger trans influence in square planar Pt(ii) complexes. Four [Rh(LP)(η2:η2-cod)Cl] complexes were synthesised and characterised by NMR, HRMS and X-ray crystallography. Two [Rh(LP)2]BF4 complexes were prepared where one ligand acts as a chelating P,C-π-donor; detailed NMR studies demonstrated a hemilabile η6-coordination mode, which in one case was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Rh(i) complexes were used as catalysts in asymmetric hydrogenation and hydroformylation reactions and in the addition of phenyl boronic acid to an isatin. Pd(ii) complexes were successfully employed in asymmetric Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions yielding binaphthyl products. Two [Pd(LP)2Cl2] complexes were synthesised and characterised by X-ray crystallography, both adopting cis orientations, with one of the complexes crystallising as two pseudo-polymorphs.

We have isolated and characterized a well-defined catalyst precursor as a dimeric [Ru2(L)2Cl3]PF6 complex and studied its reactivity and catalytic performance. Remarkable initial activities up to 283 000 h-1 were achieved in the hydrogenation of ethyl hexanoate at only 12.5 ppm Ru loading. A wide range of aliphatic and aromatic esters can be converted with this catalyst to corresponding alcohols in near quantitative yields. The described synthetic protocol makes use of air-stable reagents available in multigram quantities, rendering the bis-NHC ligands an attractive alternative to the conventional phosphine-based systems.

- New Route to Stabilize Ruthenium Nanoparticles with Non-Isolable Chiral N-Heterocyclic Carbenes
-
Ru nanoparticles (RuNPs) stabilized by non-isolable chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), namely SIDPhNp ((4S,5S)-1,3-di(naphthalen-1-yl)-4,5-diphenylimidazolidine) and SIPhOH ((S)-3-((1S,2R)-2-hydroxy-1,2-diphenylethyl)-1-((R)-2-hydroxy-1,2-diphenylethyl)-4,5-dihydro-3H-imidazoline), have been synthesized through a new procedure that does not require isolation of the free carbenes. The obtained RuNPs have been characterized by state-of-the-art techniques and their surface chemistry has been investigated by FTIR and solid-state MAS NMR upon the coordination of CO, which indicated the presence of free and reactive Ru sites. Their catalytic activity has been tested in various hydrogenation reactions involving competition between different sites, whereby interesting differences in selectivity were observed, but no enantioselectivity.

- A recyclable CO surrogate in regioselective alkoxycarbonylation of alkenes: Indirect use of carbon dioxide
-
Herein, we report a Pd-catalysed alkoxycarbonylation of alkenes based on the use of a recyclable CO2 reduction product, the crystalline and air-stable N-formylsaccharin, as a CO surrogate. The carbonylation proceeds under ambient conditions in an exceptionally complementary regioselective fashion yielding the desired branched products from styrene derivatives and valuable linear esters from alkyl-substituted alkenes.

- Regioselective Pd-Catalyzed Methoxycarbonylation of Alkenes Using both Paraformaldehyde and Methanol as CO Surrogates
-
In recent years, considerable effort has focused on the development of novel carbonylative transformations using CO surrogates. Consequently, toxic CO gas can be replaced by more convenient inorganic or organic carbonyl compounds. Herein, the first regioselective methoxycarbonylation of alkenes with paraformaldehyde and methanol as CO substitutes is reported. This new procedure is applicable to a series of alkenes in the presence of a palladium catalyst under relatively mild conditions and is highly atom efficient.

- Salicylaldimine-based metal - Organic framework enabling highly active olefin hydrogenation with iron and cobalt catalysts
-
A robust and porous Zr metal - organic framework, sal-MOF, of UiO topology was synthesized using a salicylaldimine (sal)-derived dicarboxylate bridging ligand. Postsynthetic metalation of sal-MOF with iron(II) or cobalt(II) chloride followed by treatment with NaBEt3H in THF resulted in Fe- and Co-functionalized MOFs (sal-M-MOF, M = Fe, Co) which are highly active solid catalysts for alkene hydrogenation. Impressively, sal-Fe-MOF displayed very high turnover numbers of up to 145000 and was recycled and reused more than 15 times. This work highlights the unique opportunity of developing MOF-based earth-abundant catalysts for sustainable chemical synthesis.

- Enzymatic hydrogenation of diverse activated alkenes. Identification of two Bacillus old yellow enzymes with broad substrate profiles
-
By whole cell transformation, 32 out of 71 strains showed OYEs activity toward maleimide in the first round screening. Among them, a Bacillus strain was identified to be active toward a selection of substrates with different electron-withdrawing groups. Two OYE homologous genes, bac-oye1 and bac-oye2 were cloned from this strain and overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). The recombinant enzyme Bac-OYE2 showed a broader pH range (6.0-10.5), while Bac-OYE1 was so sensitive to pH that it lost most of the enzyme activity below pH 6.0 or above pH 9.0. The reaction temperature exerted similar effects on the activities of both enzymes, but the stability of Bac-OYE2 was more sensitive to the temperature than Bac-OYE1. In addition to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, nitroalkenes, and the double activated carboxylic acids, esters, nitriles and cyclic imides, Bac-OYE1 and Bac-OYE2 also exhibited activities toward the "borderline" substrates such as unsaturated lactones, mono carboxylic esters, showing their broader substrate scopes. These enzymes also had excellent enantioselectivity as evidenced by the reductions of several α,β-unsaturated cyclic ketones, α-substituted α,β-unsaturated carboxylic esters and 2-methyl maleimide. For example, methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate was reduced by Bac-OYE1 with >99% conversion and >99% ee.

- Enantioselective hydrogenation of functionalized olefins catalyzed by Rh-chiral bidentatephosphite complexes
-
A novel catalytic system for the hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate has been developed by using rhodium-diphosphite complexes. These chiral diphosphite ligands were derived from glucopyranoside, d-mannitol derivatives, and binaphthyl or H8-binaphthyl phosphochloridites. The ligands based on the methyl 3,6-anhydro-α-d-glucopyranoside backbone and (R)- and (S)-binaphthol and/or (R)- and (S)-2,2′-dihydroxy-5,5′,6,6′,7, 7′,8,8′-octahydro-1,1′-binaphthol gave almost complete conversion of the dimethyl itaconate and both enantiomers of dimethyl 2-methylsuccinate with excellent enantioselectivities. The stereochemically matched combination of methyl 3,6-anhydro-α-d-glucopyranoside and H 8-(S)-binaphthyl in ligand 2,4-bis{[(S)-1,1′-H 8-binaphthyl-2,2′-diyl]-phosphite} methyl 3,6-anhydro-α- d-glucopyranoside was essential to afford dimethyl 2-methylsuccinate with up to 98% ee. The sense of the enantioselectivity of products was predominantly determined by the configuration of the biaryl moieties of the ligands. An initial screening of [Rh(cod)2]BF4 with these ligands in the hydrogenation of (E)-2-(3-butoxy-4-methoxybenzylidene)-3-methylbutanoic acid was carried out. Good enantioselectivity (75% ee) and low yield for (R)-2-(3-butoxy-4-methoxybenzyl)-3-methylbutanoic acid were obtained.

- Ruthenium carbene-diether ligand complexes: Catalysts for hydrogenation of Olefins
-
A series of carbene-diether ligands were prepared and the corresponding Ag salts used to prepare the complexes RuHCl(PPh3)2(Im(OR) 2) (Im(OR)2 = C3H2(NCH 2CH2OR)2; R = Me (4a), t-Bu (4b), tert-hexyl (4c), Ph (4d), 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3 (4e)). In an analogous fashion the species RuHCl(PPh3)2(Y 2Im(OMe)2) (Y2Im(OMe)2 = Y 2C3(NCH2CH2OMe)2; Y 2 = C6H4 (4f), Y = Cl (4g), Me (4h)) were also synthesized. Similarly RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)2(Im(OMe) 2) (5) was prepared and readily converted to RuHCl(CO)(SIMes)(Im(OMe) 2) (6) via treatment with SIMes. The reaction of 4a with SIMes afforded RuHCl(SIMes)(Im(OMe)2)(PPh3) (7), which reacts subsequently with Na[BPh4] to give [RuH(Im(OMe)2)(SIMes)] [(η6-Ph)BPh3] (8). In a series of tests, the species 4a-h, 5, 6, and 8 were shown to catalyze the hydrogenations of 1-hexene, cyclohexene, and dimethyl itaconate. From the activity of 4a-h it is clear that the capability of the carbene-ether substituents to coordinate to the metal as well as electron-donating substituents on the carbene fragment enhances catalytic activity. Other variations such as in 5, 6, and 8 resulted in terminal-olefin-selective hydrogenation catalysts, although the zwitterionic species 8 showed significantly enhanced activity.

- New enantiopure P,P-bidentate bis(diamidophosphite) ligands. Application in asymmetric rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenation
-
Two series of new enantiopure bidentate bis(diamidophosphite) ligands with diazaphospholidine and diazaphosphepine heterocyclic backbones were prepared. The ligands have a highly modular structure, which is well suited to the synthesis of a small library of compounds. Preparation was accomplished by the successive addition of enantiomerically pure substituted diamines (N,N′-dibenzylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine (1), N,N′-dimethylcyclohexane- 1,2-diamine (2), and N,N′-dimethyl-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′- diamine (3)) and enantiomerically pure diols (butanediol (a), cyclohexanediol (b), di-O-isopropylidenethreitol (c), and binaphthol (d)) to phosphorus trichloride. The corresponding bis(diamidophosphite) selenides were prepared, and the 1JPSe values were calculated in order to evaluate the σ-donor ability of the new ligands. The cationic Rh(I) complexes [Rh(COD)(P,P)]BF4 were synthesized with 8 of the 12 new bis(diamidophosphite) ligands. The complexes were used as catalytic precursors for the asymmetric hydrogenation of benchmark substrates, namely methyl α-acetamidoacrylate (4), methyl (Z)-α-acetamidocinnamate (5), and dimethyl itaconate (6). The influence of the nature of both the terminal and bridging fragments of the bis(diamidophosphite) ligands on the asymmetric induction is discussed. Most proved to be effective catalysts for the process, attaining total conversion and excellent enantioselectivity (>99% ee) with the complex containing the (R;Ral,Ral;R)-3c ligand in the hydrogenation of the three substrates. The best performing catalytic precursor [Rh(COD)((R;Ral,Ral;R)-3c)]BF4 was tested in the hydrogenation of selected cyclic enamides (7-9) and β-acetamidoacrylate (10).

- Asymmetric hydrogenation using rhodium complexes generated from mixtures of monodentate neutral and anionic phosphorus ligands
-
A series of monodentate neutral and anionic phosphorus ligands was synthesized and evaluated in the asymmetric rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenation of functionalized olefins by using either catalysts containing identical ligands or catalysts generated from mixtures of two different ligands. We expected that the combination of an anionic ligand with a neutral ligand would favor the formation of hetero over homo bis-ligand complexes due to charge repulsion. NMR spectroscopic studies confirmed that charge effects can indeed shift the equilibrium toward the hetero bis-ligand complexes. In several cases, the combination of a neutral phosphane with an anionic phosphane, one chiral and the other achiral, furnished significantly higher enantioselectivities than analogous mixtures of two neutral ligands. The best results were obtained with a mixture of an anionic phosphoramidite and a neutral phosphoric acid diester. It is supposed that in this case a hydrogen bond between the two ligands additionally stabilizes the hetero ligand combination. Charge effects and hydrogen bonding favor the formation of rhodium hetero bis-ligand complexes from mixtures of neutral and anionic monodentate phosphorus ligands. The combination of a neutral phosphoric acid diester as a hydrogen donor and an anionic phosphoramidite as a hydrogen acceptor gives very high enantioselectivities in Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation reactions, thus exceeding the ee values of the corresponding homo bis-ligand complexes (see scheme).

- Carbanion-accelerated claisen rearrangements: Asymmetric induction with chiral phosphorus-stabilized anions
-
The carbanion-accelerated Claisen rearrangement has been extended to include phosphorus carbanion-stabilizing groups. The appropriately substituted allyl vinyl ethers are synthesized by the nucleophilic addition of allyl oxides to phosphorus-substituted allenes, which are obtained in one step from simple starting materials. The phosphorus-stabilized, carbanion-accelerated Claisen rearrangements proceed rapidly at room temperature in high yield, and the rearrangements are highly site- and stereoselective. The first examples of asymmetric induction in the Claisen rearrangement with chiral, phosphorus, anion-stabilizing groups are described. The observed asymmetric induction is highly dependent on the structure of the auxiliary and the metal counterion involved. Both internal and relative diastereoselectivity are high. A model for the observed sense of internal diastereoselectivity is proposed that is founded in the current understanding of the structure of phosphorus-stabilized anions.

- A unique palladium catalyst for efficient and selective alkoxycarbonylation of olefins with formates
-
Forget about CO! Carbonylations are among the most important homogeneously catalyzed reactions in the chemical industry, but typically require carbon monoxide. Instead, straightforward and efficient alkoxycarbonylations of olefins can proceed with alkyl formates in the presence of a specific palladium catalyst. Aromatic, terminal aliphatic, and internal olefins are carbonylated to give industrially important linear esters at low catalyst loadings. Copyright

- Magnetic nanoparticles entrapped in siliceous mesocellular foam: A new catalyst support
-
γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were formed inside the cage-like pores of mesocellular foam (MCF). These magnetic nanoparticles showed a uniform size distribution that could be easily controlled by the MCF pore size, as well as by the hydrocarbon chain length used for MCF surface modification. Throughout the entrapment process, the pore structure and surface area of the MCF remained intact. The resulting magnetic MCF facilitated the immobilization of biocatalysts, homogeneous catalysts, and nanoclusters. Moreover, the MCF allowed for facile catalyst recovery by using a simple magnet. The supported catalysts exhibited excellent catalytic efficiencies that were comparable to their homogeneous counterparts. Copyright

- Nicotinamide-dependent Ene reductases as alternative biocatalysts for the reduction of activated alkenes
-
Four NAD(P)H-dependent non-flavin ene reductases have been investigated for their ability to reduce activated C=C bonds in an asymmetric fashion by using 20 structurally diverse substrates. In comparison with flavin-dependent Old Yellow Enzyme homologues, a higher degree of electronic activation was required, because the best activities were obtained with enals and nitroalkenes rather than enones and carboxylic esters. Although FaEO from Fragaria x ananassa (strawberry) and its homologue SlEO from Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) exhibited a narrow substrate spectrum, progesterone 5β-reductase (At5β-StR) from Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress) and leukotriene B4 12-hydroxydehydrogenase (LTB4DH/PGR) from Rattus norvegicus (rat) appear to be promising candidates, in particular for the asymmetric bioreduction of open-chain enals, nitroalkenes and α,β-unsaturated γ-butyrolactones. Competing nitro reduction and non-enzymatic Weitz-Scheffer epoxidation were largely suppressed. Electronically activated alkenes have been stereoselectively reduced by using a single-enzyme-cofactor system employing nicotinamide-dependent non-flavin ene reductases. Copyright

Asymmetric trans-bioreduction of activated alkenes by KYE1 from Kluyveromyces lactis and Yers-ER from Yersinia bercovieri, two ene-reductases from the Old Yellow Enzyme family, showed a broad substrate spectrum with a moderate to excellent degree of stereoselectivity. Both substrate- and enzyme-based stereocontrols were observed to furnish opposite stereoisomeric products. The effects of organic solvents on enzyme activity and stereoselectivity were outlined in this study, where two-phase systems hexane and toluene are shown to sustain bioreduction efficiency even at high organic solvent content.

The complexes 3a,b,d, and 5c and the isomers of 8e showed high catalytic activity (TOFs ranging from 22 to 4870 h-1, TONs up to 24000) in the hydrogenation of monosubstituted olefins. For 8e(down) and 8e(up) a remarkable functional group tolerance and catalyst stability were noticed. Kinetic experiments revealed kobs to be first order in c(cat) and c(H2) and zeroth order in c(olefin). Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations suggest the catalysis to proceed along an Osborn-type catalytic cycle with olefin before H2 addition. The unsaturated key intermediates [ReBrH(NO)(P∪P)] (2a-e) could be intercepted with MeCN as [ReBrH(MeCN)(NO)(P∪P)] (10a-d) complexes or isolated as dimeric μ2-(H)2 complexes [{ReBr(μ2-H)(NO) (P∪P)}2] (9b and 9e). Variation of the bidentate ligand demonstrated a crucial influence of the (large)-bite-angle on the catalytic performance and reactivity of 3a,b,d, 5c, and 8e.
