Synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinoline-diamine ligands and their application in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation
摘要:
The use of the tetrahydroisoquinoline scaffold is well documented in biologically active compounds. However, reports of the utilisation of tetrahydroisoquinoline compounds in asymmetric catalysis are limited. The synthesis of novel diamine ligands possessing the tetrahydroisoquinoline (tetrahydroisoquinoline) backbone and evaluation of their activity in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone are presented. The diamine ligands in conjunction with i-PrOH as the hydrogen source and [RhCl2(Cp*)](2) as the metal precursor proved to be the most effective of the tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives for this catalytic system. Water was found to have a profound influence on the enantioselectivity of the reaction. Optimisation of the amount water, i-PrOH and catalytic loading content rendered the best result of 70% enantioselectivity for the (S)-1-phenylethanol isomer product. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

The short synthesis of a series of novel chiral N-oxideorganocatalysts and their evaluation in the asymmetricallylation reaction of aromatic and α-β-unsaturated aldehydes with allyltrichlorosilane is reported. These readily modifiable organocatalysts are the first of their kind based on the tetrahydroisoquinoline framework. The chiral homoallyl products were obtained with good chemical efficiency
naphthyl 1-propargyl ethers through para-Claisen rearrangement was described, and chirality transfer was observed. Moreover, the enantioselective dearomatization of C4-substituted substrates was realized by using a chiral N,N′-dioxide/CoII complex catalyst. The DFT calculations and experimental results support the ortho-Claisen rearrangement/Cope rearrangement sequence process.
