- The Enantioselective Dakin-West Reaction
-
Here we report the development of the first enantioselective Dakin-West reaction, yielding α-acetamido methylketones with up to 58 % ee with good yields. Two of the obtained products were recrystallized once to achieve up to 84 % ee. The employed methylimidazole-containing oligopeptides catalyze both the acetylation of the azlactone intermediate and the terminal enantioselective decarboxylative protonation. We propose a dispersion-controlled reaction path that determines the asymmetric reprotonation of the intermediate enolate after the decarboxylation.

- Synthesis and application of (3R,4R)-3,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)tetrahydrofuran as ligand for asymmetric hydrogenation of acrylic acids
-
A new, chiral bisphosphine, (3R,4R)-3,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)tetrahydrofuran (4), is synthesized in three steps from (R,R)-tartaric acid esters. With rhodium(I) complexes of 4 enantiomeric excesses of 54 to 97% are obtained on catalytic hydrogenation of 2-(acetylamino)acrylic acid, 2-(acetylamino)cinnamic acids and itaconic acid. The applied substrate/catalyst ratios were between 250:1 and 11,000:1.

- Asymmetric Hydrogenation Catalyzed by Rhodium Complex with a New Chiral Bisphosphine Derived from L-Threonine
-
A new chiral bisphosphine, (2R,3S)-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)-3-'Boc-aminobutane (RS-5), was prepared from L-threonine.Mesylation of 'Boc-L-threonine methyl ester (2) and subsequent reduction with sodium borohydride gave the alcohol (10), which was treated with potassium carbonate to afford a key intermediate, (2S,3S)-1-'Boc-3-methyl-2-aziridinemethanol (SS-7b).Mesylation of SS-7b, followed by treatment with sodium diphenylphosphide afforded the new chiral bisphosphine (RS-5).The structure of RS-5 was confirmed by the X-ray analysis of its crystalline CuCl complex (RS-12).The cationic rhodium (I) complexes prepared from RS-5 and RS-12 are efficient asymmetric hydrogenation catalysts for N-acyldehydroamino acids, giving (S))-N-acylamino acids in high optical yields (83-94percentee).

- Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Asymmetric Organic Synthesis via Polymer-Attached Optically Active Phosphine Ligands. 5. Preparation of Amino Acids in High Optical Yield via Catalytic Hydrogenation
-
Two new optically active phosphinopyrrolidine monomers were prepared by the reaction of (2S,4S)-4-(diphenylphosphino)-2-pyrrolidine and (2R,4R)-4-(diphenylphosphino)-2-pyrrolidine with acryloyl chloride to give N-acryloyl-(2S,4S)-4-(diphenylphosphino)-2-pyrrolidine (1) and N-acryloyl-(2R,4R)-4-(diphenylphosphino)-2-pyrrolidine (2).Copolymerization of 1 and 2 with hydrophilic comonomers and a divinyl monomer provided cross-linked insoluble polymers containing 3-5percentof 1 or 2 that would swell in polar solvents.Exchange of rhodium (I) onto the polymer gave catalysts which were active for the asymmetric hydrogenation of N-acyl α-amino acids in high optical yields, the phosphine derived from the enantiomer of the naturally occurring 4-hydroxyproline giving (S)-amino acids.The catalysts could be reused with no loss in selectivity by simple filtration.
