Structural requirements for substrate in highly enantioselective hydrogenation over the cinchonidine-modified Pd/C
摘要:
Relationship between substrate Structure and enantioselectivity is studied for the asymmetric hydrogenation of 42 different (E)-alpha, beta-disubstituted acrylic acids (propenoic acids) over cinchonidine-modified Pd/C. The beta-phenyl group is indispensable for high enantioselectivity of alpha-phenylcinnamic acid (2,3-diphenylpropenoic acid, 81% ee), and substitution on this group affects markedly the selectivity. The high ee up to 92% was achieved by the beta-p-alkoxyphenyl substitution, and the selectivity is ascribed mainly to stronger interaction of the substrate with the chiral modifier on the catalyst surface. In contrast, substitution on the alpha-phenyl group does not affect notably the enantioselectivity (80-82% ee) or even the alpha-phenyl group itself is not indispensable but replaceable with a properly bulky group for the high enantioselectivity, (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc.

Benzylamine (BA) is a commonly employed additive for the hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturatedacidsover the cinchonidine-modified palladium catalyst, but the BA addition effects largely depend on the reaction solvent. In toluene, BA is not required to obtain the high enantioselectivity. Quicker desorption of the product due to weaker acidity in toluene than in a commonly used wet dioxane reasonably explains
