Synthesis and structural characterization of a dichloro zinc complex of N,N′-bis-(2,6-dichloro-benzyl)-(R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane: Application to ring opening polymerization of rac-lactide
摘要:
A novel dichloro zinc complex (L-1)ZnCl2, where L-1 is N,N'-bis-(2,6-dichloro-benzyl)-(R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, has been synthesized and characterized. The dimethyl derivatives, generated in situ from the well characterized dichloro zinc complexes (L-1)ZnCl2 and (L-2)ZnCl2, where L-2 is N,N'-bis-(benzyl)-(R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, were employed as initiators for the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of rac-lactide (rac-LA). The complexes were found to be highly efficient initiators yielding the polylactide (PLA) with a narrow molecular weight distribution. The catalytic activity and heterotactic selectivity of the Zn(II) complexes were affected by the substituents on the phenyl groups of benzyl moieties in (R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane. The dimethyl derivative of (L-2)ZnCl2 produced highly stereocontrolled PLA with P-r = 0.75 at -25 degrees C. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Machine‐Assisted Preparation of a Chiral Diamine Ligand Library and In Silico Screening Using Ab Initio Structural Parameters for Heterogeneous Chiral Catalysts
containing 31 chiral diamines was synthesized using a flow-based semiautomatic reductiveaminationsystem. These ligands were evaluated in a continuous-flow asymmetric 1,4-addition reaction with a heterogeneous Ni catalyst. Based on the experimental results of ab initio DFT calculations, a prediction model for enantioselectivities was successfully constructed. Furthermore, virtual screening of possible ligands

Asymmetric Henry reaction catalyzed by chiral secondary diamine-copper(II) complexes
The enantioselective Henry reaction was efficiently carried out under mild reaction conditions in 96% ethanol. The chiral C-2-symmetric, secondary bisamines based on the 1,2-diaminocyclohexane framework and copper(II) acetate were found to promote the asymmetric nitroaldol reaction. Aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes were reacted with nitromethane to provide the corresponding beta-nitroalcohols in very good yields and enantioselectivities up to 94%. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
