Asymmetric hydrogen-transfer hydrogenation on rhodium(I) complexes with new optically active salen ligands derived from (4S,5S)-4,5-bis(aminomethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane
摘要:
New optically active C-2-symmetric salen-type ligands were synthesized on the basis of (4S,5S)-4,5-bis(aminomethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane. These ligands were used to obtain cationic (tri-fluoromethanesulfonate) and neutral (chloride) rhodium(I) complexes with [(4S,5S)-2,2-dimethyl-5-{[(E)-pyridin-2-ylmethylidene]aminomethyl}-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]-N-[(E)-pyridin-2-ylmethylidene]methanamine and [2,2-dimethyl-5-{[(E)-quinolin-2-ylmethylidene]aminomethyl}-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]-N-[(E)-quinolin-2-yl-methylidene]methanamine. The latter complex ensured preparation of (S)-2-phenylethanol with an optical yield of 34.8% by transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone.
