Lipase catalyzed resolution of the quaternary stereogenic center in ketone-derived benzo-fused cyclic cyanohydrins
摘要:
The enantioselective preparation of both enantiomers of the benzo-fused cyanohydrin derived from alpha-tetralone via lipase catalyzed processes is described. The (S)-enantiomer has been obtained as the remaining substrate in the CAL-A catalyzed aminolysis of the methoxyacetylated derivative, using a structurally related amine as the nucleophile. The (R)-enantiomer has been obtained as the product of CAL-A or PSL-C catalyzed hydrolysis of the methoxyacetylated derivative in organic solvents. The resolutions of several structural analogs of this cyanohydrin have been also tested under similar conditions. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Effective Activation of the Chiral Salen/Ti(OiPr)4 Catalyst with Achiral PhenolicN-Oxides as Additives in the Enantioselective Cyanosilylation of Ketones
the asymmetric cyanosilylation of ketones. By using 10 mol % of chiral salen-titanium(IV) complex in combination with 1 mol% achiral phenolic N-oxide as an additive, aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic ketones have been converted into the corresponding cyanohydrin trimethylsilyl ethers in 58-96% yields with 56-82% ee. Several factors concerning the reactivity and enantioselectivity have been discussed
An efficient and optically active, bifunctional tetraaza ligand (2S)-N-(1R,2R)-2-[(S)-pyrrolidine-2-carboxamido]-1,2-diphenylethyl}pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide has been developed for the addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) to ketones.

[reaction: see text] Enantioselective addition of TMSCN to ketones is achieved by a catalytic double-activation method using 1a-Ti(IV) complex as the Lewis acid and achiral N-oxide 2 as the Lewis base to activate ketones and TMSCN, respectively.
Various ketones have undergone asymmetric trimethylsilylcyanation at room temperature with (CH3)(3)SiCN (TMSCN) in the presence of a chiral-supported Cu(salen) complex and Ph3PO as the catalyst. Aromatic, aliphatic, and heterocyclic ketones have been converted into the corresponding cyanohydrin trimethylsilyl ethers in 83-96% yields with 52-84% ee. Several factors concerning the reactivity and enantioselectivity have been discussed. A double activation where Cu(salen) plays the role of Lewis acid and Ph3PO acts as a Lewis base is reported. Poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether (MeO-PEG) has been used as a soluble support while JandaJel (JJ) and Merrifield (MF) resins served as insoluble supports. Each polymer is linked to the salen catalyst through a glutarate spacer. The soluble catalysts were recovered by precipitation with a suitable solvent while the insoluble catalysts were simply filtered from the reaction mixture. The JandaJel-attached Cu(salen) catalyst could be used for five cycles with the retention of efficiency and the Merrifield-bound Cu(salen) catalyst was found to loose activity with each use.
