“Chiral Perturbation Factor” Approach Reveals Importance of Entropy Term in Stereocontrol of the 2,4-Pentanediol-Tethered Reaction
摘要:
The stereocontrol mechanism of the 2, 4-pentanediol (PD)-tethered reaction was studied in detail using a reaction system consisting of phenyl and rhodium carbenoid moieties. Different tethers were examined to analyze the effects of the methyl groups on the PD tether. Among the reactions with these tethers, the PD tether achieves an unmeasurably high stereoselectivity in a diastereomeric ratio of > 500. Another tether showing a high but measurable stereoselectivity in a ratio of 41 is mostly controlled by the entropy term. To clarify the role of the methyl groups on the chiral tethers, which are the origin of the stereocontrol, the "chiral perturbation factor" is introduced. This parameter is defined as the rate of a chiral reaction relative to that of an achiral reference reaction. By analyzing the temperature dependence of the chiral perturbation factors for different chiral-tethered reactions, high potentials of the PD-tethered reaction in its stereocontrol are concluded to be due to the entropy term.

An enantioselective intermolecular coupling of oxygen nucleophiles and allylic alcohols to give β-aryloxycarbonyl compounds is disclosed using a chiral pyridine oxazoline-ligated palladium catalyst under mild conditions. As opposed to the formation of traditional Wacker-type products, enantioselective migratory insertion is followed by β-hydride elimination toward the adjacent alcohol. Deuterium labeling
[GRAPHICS]Kinetic measurements to determine effective molarities of intramolecular reactions using 2,4-pentanediol and related tethers showed that methyl groups on the tether accelerate the major diastereomeric process but decelerate the minor process. The efficient promotion of stereocontrol is suggested to be due to chiral perturbation of the reaction rate through the entropy term, The conformation of the encounter complex of the reagent and reactant moieties was deduced by stereochemical analysis of the intramolecular adducts.
