The mechanistic foundations of the Lewis base catalyzed aldol addition reactions have been investigated. From a combination of low-temperature spectroscopic studies (29Si and 31P NMR) and kinetic analyses using a rapid-injection NMR apparatus (RINMR), a correlation of the ground states and transition structures for the aldolization reactions has been formulated. The aldol addition of the tert-butylsilyl ketene acetal of tert-butyl propanoate with 1-naphthaldehyde is efficiently catalyzed by a combination of silicon tetrachloride and chiral phosphoramide Lewis bases. The rates and selectivities of the aldol additions are highly dependent on the structure of the Lewis bases: bisphosphoramides give the highest rate and selectivity, whereas a related monophosphoramide reacts slowly and with low selectivity. The monophosphoramide shows no nonlinear behavior. All of the additions show a first-order kinetic dependence on silyl ketene acetal and 1-naphthaldehyde and a zeroth-order dependence on silicon tetrachloride. The kinetic order in catalyst is structure dependent and is either half-, two-thirds-, or first-order. All of the phosphoramides are saturated with silicon tetrachloride in some form, and the resting-state species are mixtures of monomeric and dimeric, pentacoordinate cationic, or hexacoordinate neutral complexes. These data allow the formulation of a unified mechanistic scheme based on the postulate of a common reactive intermediate for all catalysts.

A new class of phenethylamine-derived tridentate P,N,N-ligands has been successfully developed. These ligands exhibited good performance in the Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of β-keto esters, affording the corresponding β-hydroxy esters in moderat

A new class of chiral oxidants is developed. These readily accessible oxidants contain a nitro group for oxidation and a chiral sulfonamide moiety for stereoselectivity control. The chiral information from the oxidants can effectively transfer to the substrates in carbene-catalyzed β-hydroxylation of enals via single-electron-transfer radical processes. We expect these oxidants to find unique applications in other asymmetric oxidations and oxygen-atom-transferring reactions.
