已经开发了一系列含有基于核苷的手性钳式配体的Mn I配合物,这些配合物具有模块化和可调的结构。该配合物在各种酮的氢化反应中显示出前所未有的高活性(高达9800 TON; TON =周转数),广泛的底物范围(81个实例),良好的官能团耐受性和出色的对映选择性(85-98%ee)。这些方面在稀土金属催化的氢化反应中很少见。该协议的实用性已在手性药物的多种关键中间体的不对称合成中得到证明。初步的机理研究表明,底物与催化剂相互作用的外层模式可能主导了催化作用。
A set of 28 enantiomers comprising rigid and flexible secondary alcohols was synthesized by the asymmetric Corey-Bakshi-Shibata reduction. The enantiomerically pure alcohols were subjected to enzymatic glucuronidation assays employing the human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) 2B7 and 2BI7. Both UGTs displayed high levels of stereo selectivity, favoring the conjugation of the (R)-enantiomers over their respective (S)-stereoisomers at eudismic ratios up to 256. The spatial arrangement of the hydroxy group determined the diastereoselectivity of the UGT2B17-catalyzed reaction in agreement with Pfeiffer's rule (eudismic activity quotient = 0.83 +/- 0.14). Inhibition studies revealed that the enantiomers had similar affinities toward the enzymes. The diastereoselectivity of the UGT-catalyzed conjugation stemmed, therefore, from the arrangement of the substrates in the catalytic site, rather than from distinct affinities toward the enzymes. Taken together, this study showed that metabolic enzymes that are generally conceived to be rather "flexible" in nature are capable of displaying high levels of chiral distinction.
Lutidine‐Based Chiral Pincer Manganese Catalysts for Enantioselective Hydrogenation of Ketones
activities (up to 9800 TON; TON=turnover number), broad substrate scope (81 examples), good functional‐group tolerance, and excellent enantioselectivities (85–98 % ee) in the hydrogenation of various ketones. These aspects are rare in earth‐abundant metal catalyzed hydrogenations. The utility of the protocol have been demonstrated in the asymmetric synthesis of a variety of key intermediates for chiral drugs
