New chiral bidentate imidazole-phosphine ligands have been prepared and evaluated for the iridium-catalysed asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins. The imidazole-phosphine-ligated iridiumcatalysts hydrogenated trisubstituted olefins with the same sense of enantiodiscrimination as known iridiumcatalysts possessing oxazole and thiazole as N-donors. The imidazole-based catalysts were shown to hydrogenate

Described is the first study on oxidativeenantioselective α‐fluorination of simple aliphatic aldehydes enabled by N‐heterocyclic carbene catalysis. N‐fluorobis(phenyl)sulfonimide serves as a an oxidant and as an “F” source. The CF bond formation occurs directly at the α position of simple aliphatic aldehydes, thus overcoming nontrivial challenges, such as competitive difluorination and nonfluorination

The development of a general organocatalyst for the alpha-functionalization of aldehydes, via an enamine intermediate, is presented. Based on optically active alpha,alpha-diarylprolinol silyl ethers, the scope and applications of this catalyst for the stereogenic formation of C-C, C-N, C-F, C-Br, and C-S bonds are outlined. The reactions all proceed in good to high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities. Furthermore, we will present mechanistic insight into the reaction course applying nonlinear effect studies, kinetic resolution, and computational investigations leading to an understanding of the properties of the alpha,alpha-diarylprolinol silyl ether catalysts.

To broaden the substrate scope of asymmetric iridium-catalyzed hydrogenation, fluorine-functionalized olefins were synthesized and hydrogenated with iridium complexes. Preliminary results showed high levels of fluorine elimination together with low selectivity. The loss of vinylic fluorine at first seemed difficult to handle, but further studies revealed that a catalyst with an azanorbornyl scaffold in the ligand gave more promising results. With this in mind, a new ligand was developed. This gave among the best results published to date for fluorine asymmetric hydrogenation, yielding high conversion and very high ee's with very little fluorine elimination. Further increasing the selectivity, the trials also revealed that tetrasubstituted fluorine-containing olefins can be hydrogenated with high ee's, despite that this class of compounds has usually shown low reactivity in this reaction type.

Biocatalytic reduction of 2-fluorocinnamyl alcohols mediated by Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated in phosphate buffer solutions. Product analysis clearly showed that (S)-2-fluoro-3-arylpropanols were afforded in high yields with up to 92% ee Value. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
