Reactions of chlorine substituted (E)-2,3-diphenylpropenoic acids over cinchonidine-modified Pd: Enantioselective hydrogenation versus hydrodechlorination
摘要:
The effect of the chlorine position on the C-Cl bond hydrogenolysis and the enantioselective hydrogenation of Cl substituted (E)-2,3-diphenylpropenoic acid derivatives has been studied over cinchonidine-modified Pd/Al2O3. In contrast to the fast hydrodechlorination of the beta-phenyl-para-Cl substituted acids the Cl on the alpha-phenyl ring was barely hydrogenolized. These observations were interpreted by the different arrangements of the two phenyl rings on the surface, with the alpha- and beta-phenyl rings adsorbed tilted and parallel, respectively. The results confirmed the beneficial effect of the alpha-phenyl-ortho-substituents on the chiral discrimination, thus the 2,3-diphenylpropionic acids substituted by Cl on the alpha-phenyl ring could be prepared in good yields and optical purities. The conclusions were used for the rational design of an acid, i.e. (E)-2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-3-(3,4-difluorophenyl)propenoic acid, which afforded the best optical purity (ee up to 95% at 295 K) described until now in this heterogeneous system.

Anomalous Ligand Acceleration on Cinchona-modified Pd/C during Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Properly Substituted Phenylcinnamic Acid
The hydrogenation of 4,4′-dimethoxy-α-phenylcinnamic acid over Pd/C showed a large ligand acceleration effect when a cinchonidine modifier was used; the hydrogen rate increased to 370% relative to the reaction rate on unmodified Pd/C and resulted in a 91% enantiomeric excess (ee). Another good substrate, 4-fluoro-2′-methoxyphenylcinnamic acid, also resulted in a high ee value of 92%; however, the rate increased only to 230% when this modifier was used. On the basis of the difference in the degree to which the reaction rate was accelerated, the eemax for each substrate was analyzed.
