The preparation of a novel chiral 2,2′-bis(MeO-PEG-supported)-6,6′-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)biphenyl (MeO-PEG-Biphep) ligand is described. The derived ruthenium complex catalyzes the hydrogenation of β-ketoesters in up to 99% yield and 99% ee under atmospheric pressure. The accelerating effects exerted by the PEG linkage are dramatic when compared to the unsupported analogue, MeO-Biphep-RuBr2. Furthermore, the catalyst can be recovered easily and the recycled catalysts were shown to maintain their efficiency in two consecutive runs, albeit with declining activity. One of the products, (S)-ethyl-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoate, is useful in the preparation of (S)-fluoxetine.
报道了一种新型手性2,2′-双(甲氧基-PEG-支撑)-6,6′-双(二苯基膦)联苯(MeO-PEG-Biphep)配体的制备。由此衍生的钌配合物在大气压下催化β-酮酯的氢化反应,产率高达99%,对映选择性高达99% ee。与未支撑的类似物MeO-Biphep-RuBr2相比,PEG连接的加速效应显著。此外,该催化剂易于回收,回收的催化剂在连续两次运行中保持其效率,尽管活性有所下降。其中一个产物(S)-乙基-3-羟基-3-苯基丙酸酯在制备(S)-氟西汀中具有应用价值。
