Nickel(0)-Catalyzed Enantio- and Diastereoselective Synthesis of Benzoxasiloles: Ligand-Controlled Switching from Inter- to Intramolecular Aryl-Transfer Process
摘要:
A highly enantioselective synthesis of 3-aryl-, vinyl-, and alkynyl-2,1-benzoxasiloles (up to 99.9% ee and 99% yield) was achieved via the sequential activation of an aldehyde and a silane by nickel(0). This strategy was applied to a simultaneous generation of carbon- and silicon-stereogenic centers with excellent selectivity (dr = 99:1) via diastereotopic aryl transfer. Initial mechanistic studies revealed the complete switching of an aryl-transfer process from an intermolecular (racemic synthesis in the presence of IPr) to an intramolecular (enantioselective synthesis using chiral NHC, L5) fashion. A plausible rationale for the switching of the aryl-transfer process is given by a preliminary DFT calculation, which suggests that the coordination of 1 to the nickel(0)/L5 fragment in an eta(2)-arene:eta(2)-aldehyde fashion would be a key to the intramolecular process, while the formation of the corresponding intermediate is not possible in the presence of IPr. Owing to the chemically labile nature of its C-Si and O-Si bonds, enantioenriched benzoxasiloles are utilized for the synthesis of chiral building blocks and antihistaminic and anticholinergic drug molecules such as (R)-orphenadrine and (S)-neobenodine with no erosion of the enantiomeric excess.

catalyst, both enantiomers of many pharmaceutically interesting diarylmethanols can be obtained by the proper combination of various arylzinc reagents with different aldehydes; this catalytic system also works well for the phenylation of aliphatic aldehydes to give up to 96 % ee.
A novel ruthenium catalyst on the basis of a chiral monophosphorus ligand is efficient for the asymmetricaddition of arylboronicacids to aryl aldehydes, providing a series of chiral diarylmethanols in excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 92% ee). Preliminary study has shown that this process is catalyzed by a Ru complex with a single monophosphorus ligand.

derivative as a precursor, and the resulting silica-supported ligand (6 mol %) was employed in the enantioselectivealkylation and arylation of aldehydes in the presence of Ti(OiPr)4. The reactions using Et2Zn, Et3B, and aryl Grignard reagents all afforded the corresponding adducts in high enantioselectivities and yields. The silica-immobilized titanium catalyst could be reused up to 14 times without appreciable

The combined use of substrateengineering and protein engineering, was demonstrated to be a useful strategy in efficiently improving stereoselectivity or switching stereopreference of enzymatic processes.

Novel asymmetric triarylaluminum AlAr3(THF) additions to aldehydescatalyzed by 10 mol % of the titanium(IV) complex of (R)-H8-BINOL ligand are reported. The catalytic system is extremely efficient with reactions completing within 10 min. The system applies to the most diversified aldehydes to date, and more than 20 aldehydes were examined to afford diarylmethanols having an electron-donating or an
