P-Stereogenic Phosphorus Ligands in Asymmetric Catalysis

Chemical Reviews, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 124(14), С. 8657 - 8739

Опубликована: Июль 2, 2024

Chiral phosphorus ligands play a crucial role in asymmetric catalysis for the efficient synthesis of useful optically active compounds. They are largely categorized into two classes: backbone chirality and P-stereogenic ligands. Most reported belong to former class. Privileged ones such as BINAP DuPhos frequently employed wide range catalytic transformations. In contrast, latter class has remained small family many years mainly because their synthetic difficulty. The late 1990s saw emergence novel with superior enantioinduction ability Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation reactions. Since then, numerous have been synthesized used This Review summarizes thus far, including stereochemical electronic properties that afford high excellent enantioselectivities. Examples reactions use this described together applications construction key intermediates natural products therapeutic agents. literature covered dates back 1968 up until December 2023, centering on studies published later years.

Abstract Synergistic catalysis has emerged as one of the most powerful tools for stereodivergent formation Csp 3 −Csp bonds bearing vicinal stereocenters. Despite many successes that have been achieved in this field, coupling reactions involving stabilized nucleophiles remain challenging because competing single‐catalysis pathway.

Both syn and anti products, quaternary tertiary stereocenters, could be selectively produced good yields high enantio‐ diastereoselectivities. Non‐covalent activation via chiral ion pair biphasic is crucial success factor achieving diastereodivergence.

The development of a new catalytic strategy plays vital role in modern organic chemistry since it permits bond formation an unprecedented and more efficient manner. Although the application preformed metal complexes as π-base-activated reagents have enabled diverse transformations elegantly, concept by directly utilizing transition metals π-Lewis base catalysts remain underdeveloped, especially field asymmetric catalysis.

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 63(21)

Опубликована: Март 21, 2024

Abstract The construction of two distal stereocenters through a single catalytic process is great interest in organic synthesis. While there are some successful reports regarding stereodivergent preparation 1,3‐ or 1,4‐stereocenters, the more challenged 1,5‐nonadjacent have never been achieved fashion. Herein we describe synergistic palladium/copper catalysis for 1,4‐difunctionalization reactions 1,3‐dienes, providing access to quaternary stereocenters. Because each catalysts separately controlled one newly formed stereocenters, synthesis all four diastereomers products could readily be simply by choosing an appropriate combination chiral catalysts. Experimental and computational studies supported mechanism involving Heck/Tsuji–Trost cascade reaction, origins stereoselectivity were elucidated.
