Managing Highly Coordinative Substrates in Asymmetric Catalysis: A Catalytic Asymmetric Amination with a Lanthanum-Based Ternary Catalyst
摘要:
Full details of a catalytic asymmetric amination with a lanthanum/amide-based ligand catalyst system are described. A catalyst comprising La(NO3)(3)center dot 6H(2)O, (R)-3a and H-D-Val-V'Bu was identified to promote the catalytic asymmetric amination of nonprotected succinimide derivative 1 with as little as 1 mol % catalyst loading Mechanistic studies by various spectroscopic analyses and several control and kinetic experiments suggested that the catalyst components were in equilibrium between the associated and dissociated forms, and that the reaction likely proceeded through a La(NO3)(3)center dot 6H(2)O/(R)-3a/H-D-Val-O'Bu ternary complex. This catalyst system was also effective for asymmetric amination of N-nonsubstituted alpha-alkoxycarbonyl amides 7, hitherto unprecedented substrates in asymmetric catalysis, probably due to their attenuated reactivity and difficult stereocontrol, affording the amination products in up to > 99% yield and > 99% ee. The high catalytic performance and enantiocontrol of the reaction with highly coordinative substrates were achieved by the activation/recognition of the substrates exerted by coordination to lanthanum and hydrogen bonding cooperatively in the transition state.

[GRAPHICS]A one-pot procedure for the synthesis of 2-alkyl-2-arylcyanoacetates based on a Pd(OAc)(2)/DPPF (DPPF = 1,1'-diphenylphosphino ferreocene)-catalyzed enolate arylation followed by in situ alkylation has been developed. This procedure tolerates a diverse range of aryl and heteroaryl bromides, and provides a rapid entry to a variety of 2-alkyl-2-arylcyanoacetates in good to excellent yield.
Is Selective Monosubstitution of Dihalides via SRN1 Reaction Feasible? An Electrochemical Approach for Dichloroarenes
1,4-Dichlorobenzene and dichloropyridines undergo S(RN)1 reactions with various nucleophiles upon electrochemical initiation. Substitution can compete with reduction only when indirect electrolyses at low current are performed. Selective formation of monosubstitution products is observed when the nucleophiles used behave as electron-donating groups when attached to the aromatic moiety, a situation which is just the opposite of what had been observed when the same reactions were initiated photochemically. This surprising difference in behavior can be rationalized in terms of different capabilities of both activation methods to generate the key monosubstitution anion radical, ArNuX(.-). Kinetic and thermodynamic data concerning the reactivity of dichloroarenes in such processes are presented and discussed.
