Highly enantioselective benzylic hydroxylation with concave type of (salen)manganese(III) complex
摘要:
Newly-designed optically active (salen)manganese(III) complexes (5) catalyze highly enantioselective benzylic hydroxylation and moderate level of enantiomer-differentiating oxidation (kinetic resolution) of the resulting benzylic alcohols. Thus, the enantiomeric excess of hydroxylation product was increased through kinetic resolution, as the reaction time was prolonged. For example, enantiomeric excess of 3,3-dimelhylindan-1-ol, the hydroxylation product of 1,1-dimethylindan using 5a as a catalyst in chlorobenzene, was 84% after 10 min and 90% alter 20 h.

'Salen' along: The iridium(III)–salen complex 1 efficiently catalyzes the title reaction of 2‐ethylbenzenesulfonyl azides to give five‐membered sultams with high enantioselectivity. Other 2‐alkyl‐substitued substrates lead to five‐ and six‐membered sultams with high enantioselectivity; the regioselectivity depends upon the substrate and the catalyst used. EDG=electron‐donating group.
