Linking Structural Dynamics and Functional Diversity in Asymmetric Catalysis
摘要:
Proteins, the functional molecules in biological systems, are sophisticated chemical devices that have evolved over billions of years. Their function is intimately related to their three-dimensional structure and elegantly regulated by conformational changes through allosteric regulators and a number of reversible or unidirectional post-translational modifications. This functional diversification in response to external stimuli allows for an orderly and timely progression of intra- and extracellular events. In contrast, enantioselective catalysts generally exhibit limited conformational flexibility and thereby exert a single specific function. Exploiting the features of conformationally flexible asymmetric ligands and the variable coordination patterns of rare earth metals, we demonstrate dynamic structural and functional changes of a catalyst in asymmetric catalysis, leading to two distinct reaction outcomes in a single flask.

The catalytic enantioselective electrophilic Mannich-typereaction promoted by chiralbifunctional organocatalysts is described. The treatment of α-cyanoketones with N-Boc-aldimines under mild reaction conditions afforded the corresponding β-amino-α-cyano ketones with excellent diastereoselectivities (up to syn/anti=100/0), and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee).

Asymmetric Catalysis via Dynamic Substrate/Ligand/Rare Earth Metal Conglomerate
A highly enantio- and diastereoselective catalytic asymmetric Mannich-type reaction of acyanoketones and N-Boc imines promoted by an amide ligand/Sc(OiPr)(3) catalyst is described. The similar reaction outcome is obtained with/without precomplexation of catalyst, suggesting that reaction i components in a non-ordered conglomerate mixture orchestrate to form an ordered transition state during the reaction. Spectroscopic data and Eyring plot are consistent with this assumption.
Solvent-Dependent Self-Discrimination of Bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)diamides
AbstractSolvent‐dependent, self‐discrimination of diamides is described. Mixing a solution of (R)‐1 a and (S)‐1 a, which are valine‐derived, bis(2‐hydroxyphenyl)diamide‐bearing, multiple hydrogen‐bonding modules, in dichloromethane immediately led to the formation of a thick suspension comprising a 1:1 heterochiral aggregate of 1 a. The solubility of heterochiral 1 a was substantially lower in halogenated solvents than in ethyl acetate. A perusal of racemic crystal structures obtained from chloroform and ethyl acetate revealed a significant difference in the crystal‐packing pattern, which is likely to be the basis for the pronounced difference in solubility. Specific self‐discrimination of 1 a in an ensemble of eight structurally related molecules showcased the specific aggregation through the hydrogen‐bonding network of the bis(2‐hydroxyphenyl)diamide framework. The low solubility of heterochiral 1 a in halogenated solvent was exploited to achieve high stereoselectivity in a catalytic asymmetric reaction by using a low enantiomeric excess sample of 1 a.
