Pd/C(en)-Catalyzed Chemoselective Hydrogenation with Retention of the N-Cbz Protective Group and its Scope and Limitations
摘要:
A chemoselective method for the hydrogenation of acetylene, olefin, azide, nitro and benzyl ester functionalities with retention of the aliphatic N-Cbz group was established. The chemoselectivity was accomplished by using a combination of 5% Pd/C-ethylenediamine [5% Pd/C(en)] and THF (or 1,4-dioxane) as a solvent, and the scope and limitations of this methodology were investigated. These results reinforce the utility of N-Cbz protective groups in synthetic chemistry, especially in peptide synthesis (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All lights reserved.

A Pd/C catalyst formed an isolable complex with ethylenediamine employed as the catalytic poison via one-to-one interaction between Pd metal and ethylenediamine, and this complex catalyst [Pd/C(en)] chemoselectively hydrogenated a variety of reducible functionalities such as olefin, acetylene, nitro, benzyl ester, and azido in the presence of an O-benzyl or N-Cbz protective group. These findings reinforce the versatility potential of O-benzyl and N-Cbz as protective groups in organic synthesis, and the Pd/C(en) catalyst has been identified as a novel and chemoselective catalyst for the hydrogenation.
