Due to their strong aromaticity and difficulties in chemo-, regio-, enantioselectivity control, asymmetric hydrogenation of naphthol derivatives 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthols has remained a long-standing challenge. Herein, we report the first example homogeneous catalyzed by tethered rhodium-diamine catalysts, affording wide array optically pure high yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up 98% yield >99% ee). Mechanistic studies experimental computational approaches reveal that fluorinated solvent 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) plays vital roles control reactivity selectivity, 1-naphthol is reduced via cascade reaction pathway, including dearomative tautomerization, 1,4-hydride addition, 1,2-hydride addition sequence. A novel synergistic activation mode was proposed which HFIP assists both hydrogen molecule presence base, situ-generated fleeting keto tautomer immediately trapped Rh(III)-H species before it escapes from cage. This protocol provides straightforward practical pathway for synthesis key intermediates several chiral drugs. Particularly, Nadolol, drug treatment hypertension, angina pectoris, congestive heart failure, certain arrhythmias, enantioselectively synthesized time.

Abstract Transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation is one of the most efficient methods for preparation chiral α-substituted propionic acids. However, research on this method, employing cleaner earth-abundant metal catalysts, still insufficient in both academic and industrial contexts. Herein, we report an nickel-catalyzed acrylic acids affording corresponding with up to 99.4% ee (enantiomeric excess) 10,000 S/C (substrate/catalyst). In particular, method can be used obtain ( R )-dihydroartemisinic acid 99.8:0.2 dr (diastereomeric ratio) 5000 S/C, which essential intermediate antimalarial drug Artemisinin.

The enantioselective reduction of enamides is an efficient and atom-economical way to construct chiral amine motifs. In contrast transition-metal complex based asymmetric hydrogenation, alternative biocatalytic more sustainable but remains unexploited. challenge lies in the redox potential mismatch between ground-state enzymes abiotic enamide substrates. Herein, we report a photoenzymatic strategy, expanding reaction repertoires biocatalysts previously elusive for synthesis enantioenriched amines (with up 99:1 enantiomeric ratio). Mechanistic wet experiments computational studies revealed that direct visible-light excitation hydroquinone state flavin cofactor enhances reducing capacity ene-reductases, thereby triggering single-electron process. Mild green conditions as well broad functional group tolerance make this unnatural protocol practical complement traditional chemocatalytic approaches.
