Highly enantioselective biomimetic intramolecular dehydration: kinetic resolution of β-hydroxy ketones catalyzed by β-turn tetrapeptides
摘要:
Racemic beta-hydroxy ketones were kinetically resoluted into the enantiopure isomers and (E)-alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones using catalytic asymmetric intramolecular dehydration for the first time. Synthetic tetrapeptides were used to imitate fatty acid dehydratases to efficiently discriminate racemic beta-hydroxy ketones, enantioselectively catalyze the intramolecular dehydration, and result in highly enantioenriched beta-hydroxy and (E)-alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones in the environmentally benign process. Mechanistically, the high discrimination of the racemic substrates and successive enantioselective dehydration are highly dependent on the cooperative catalysis of the NH2 and COOH groups of the peptide.

Silica gel-mediated self-aldol reactions were catalyzed by piperidine to give the corresponding α,β-conjugated aldehydes in good yields. The aldol reactions of 4-nitro-, 4-trifluoromethyl-, and 4-chlorobenzaldehydes with acetone afforded the corresponding aldol products. Highly volatile aldehydes and acetone could be employed even without a reflux condenser for these reactions. Silica gel could be recycled

MNP-supported chiral primary amine catalysts were developed and evaluated as asymmetricbifunctional enamine catalysts in direct aldolreaction, showing essentially unchanged activity and stereoselectivity after 11 recycles.
The Zn–proline complex is shown to catalyze the aldolreaction of acetone and a wide range of arenecarbaldehydes in aqueous media, accepting even deactivated arenecarbaldehydes such as methoxybenzaldehydes in good yields. Enantiomeric excesses of up to 56 % could be obtained with 5 mol-% of the catalyst at room temperature, and up to 66 %
match of the acidity and basicity is very important to obtain good reactivity and high yield in the pyrrolidine/acid bifunctionalorganocatalyst system. The combination of pyrrolidine/p-nitrophenol was a high efficiency catalyst, which has been employed in the directaldolreaction of aldehydes and ketones with yields up to 99%.
The application of deep eutectic solvents has been demonstrated for the first time in promiscuous lipase-catalysed aldol reactions. The model reaction between 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and acetone was examined in depth, with excellent compatibility being found between porcine pancreas lipase and choline chloride/glycerol mixtures for the formation of the aldol product in high yields. The system was compatible
