Creation through Immobilization: A New Family of High Performance Heterogeneous Bifunctional Iminophosphorane (BIMP) Superbase Organocatalysts
摘要:
An immobilized chiral bifunctional iminophosphorane superbase organocatalyst has been developed and applied in a range of challenging enantioselective reactions. A unique feature of this novel catalytic system is that the final step creation of the iminophosphorane occurs at the point of immobilization. The utility of the immobilized catalyst system was demonstrated in the nitro-Mannich reaction of ketimines as well as the conjugate addition of high pK(a) 1,3-dicarbonyl pro-nucleophiles to nitrostyrene. Catalyst recycling was also demonstrated.
Face off: The rutheniumcomplexes of a new axially chiral PNN ligand (L) are highly efficient in the presence of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) for hydrogenation of both functionalized and unfunctionalized tert‐alkyl ketones. DMSO is thought to narrow down the many possible complex stereoisomers into a single facial L/Ru complex, thus enhancing the reactivity, selectivity, and productivity.

A facile and direct synthetic method was developed for the construction of structurally important 2-aminothiophenes in moderate to excellent yields (up to 91%), via Cu(II)-catalyzed addition/oxidative cyclization of readily available thioamides with alkynoates under an air atmosphere.

The conversion of β-keto esters into β-methylated γ-keto esters can be achieved through treatment with zinc carbenoids derived- from 1,1-diiodoethane. The incorporation of a β-phenyl substituent is also possible through treatment with diiodotoluene.
