Polystyrene Resins Incorporating BINOL Units: New Materials For Asymmetric Catalysis
摘要:
The radical crosslinking polymerization of styrene with (R)-divinyl-BINOL derivatives results in the formation of reticulated polystyrene networks containing protected (R)-BINOL entities at each junction of the polystyrene chains, The generation of polystyrene-immobilized free (R)-BINOL was performed by cleaving the protecting ether groups under acidic conditions. The resulting materials containing optically active BINOL units were tested as chiral ligands in the enantio-selective addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde. The catalytic properties of the polymer gels were shown to be highly dependent on the degree of reticulation: in the best cases, the resins incorporating (R)-BINOL units showed activities and selectivities similar to those of molecular (R)-BINOL.

We describe the synthesis of four new chiral silylated (R)-BINOL precursors by coupling of lithiated BINOL intermediates with chlorosilanes. These chiral precursors were submitted to different polycondensation procedures to give silarylene polysiloxanes A-D with main chain chirality: either by hydrolysis-polycondensation of the bis-chlorosilane precursor I or by Pd-catalyzed cross-dehydrocoupling of bis-hydrosilanes II, III and IV. Both monomers and polymers were characterized by NMR. FT-IR, circular dichroism and polarimetry. Polymers with molecular weights of up to 30,200 gmol(-1) were obtained. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
