Enantioselective C–H oxidation is a standing chemical challenge foreseen as powerful tool to transform readily available organic molecules into precious oxygenated building blocks. Here, we describe catalytic enantioselective hydroxylation of tertiary bonds in cyclohexane scaffolds with H2O2, an evolved manganese catalyst that provides structural complementary the substrate similarly lock-and-key recognition operating enzymatic active sites. Theoretical calculations unveil enantioselectivity governed by precise fitting scaffold site, through network weak non-covalent interactions. Stereoretentive C(sp3)–H results single-step generation multiple stereogenic centers (up 4) can be orthogonally manipulated conventional methods providing rapid access, from single precursor variety chiral scaffolds.

Lysine dioxygenase (KDO) is an important enzyme in human physiology involved bioprocesses that trigger collagen cross-linking and blood pressure control. There are several KDOs nature; however, little known about the factors govern regio- stereoselectivity of these enzymes. To understand how can selectively hydroxylate their substrate, we did a comprehensive computational study into mechanisms features 4-lysine dioxygenase. In particular, selected snapshot from MD simulation on KDO5 created large QM cluster models (A, B, C) containing 297, 312, 407 atoms, respectively. The largest model predicts regioselectivity matches experimental observation with rate-determining hydrogen atom abstraction C4–H position, followed by fast OH rebound to form 4-hydroxylysine products. calculations show C, dipole moment positioned along bond substrate and, therefore, electrostatic electric field perturbations protein assist creating hydroxylation selectivity. Furthermore, active site Tyr233 residue identified reacts through proton-coupled electron transfer akin axial Trp cytochrome c peroxidase. Thus, upon formation iron(IV)-oxo species catalytic cycle, phenol loses proton nearby Asp179 residue, while at same time, transferred iron create iron(III)-oxo species. This charged tyrosyl directs guides selectivity C4-hydroxylation substrate.

Abstract Reductive amination of carbonyl compounds and nitro represents a straightforward way to attain imines or secondary amines, but it is difficult control the product selectivity. Herein, we report selective formation C−N C=N bond readily manipulated through solvent‐induced hydrogen bridge, facilitating swift photocatalytic reductive coupling process. The reductive‐coupling with using formic acid sodium formate as donors over CdS nanosheets selectively generates bonds in acetonitrile solvent; while taking methanol solvent, are hydrogenated via hydrogen‐bonding activation. Experimental theoretical study reveals that building hydrogen‐bond bridge between hydroxyl groups N atoms motifs facilitates transfer from surface upon illumination, resulting rapid hydrogenation give rise amines bonds. Our method provides simple selectivity by altering solvents organic transformations.

The C(sp3)–H bond oxygenation of a variety cyclopropane containing hydrocarbons with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by manganese complexes aminopyridine tetradentate ligands was carried out. Oxidations were performed in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) using different catalysts carboxylic acid co-ligands, where steric electronic properties systematically modified. Functionalization selectively occurs at the most activated C–H bonds that are α- to cyclopropane, providing access carboxylate or 2,2,2-trifluoroethanolate transfer products, no competition, favorable cases, from generally dominant hydroxylation reaction. formation mixtures unrearranged rearranged esters (oxidation HFIP presence acid) ethers TFE) full control over diastereoselectivity observed, confirming involvement delocalized cationic intermediates these transformations. Despite such complex mechanistic scenario, fine-tuning catalyst sterics electronics leveraging on relative contribution pathways reaction mechanism, product chemoselectivity could be achieved. Taken together, results reported herein provide powerful catalytic tools rationally manipulate ligand oxidations hydrocarbons, delivering novel products good yields and, some outstanding selectivities, expanding available toolbox for development synthetically useful functionalization procedures.

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.

Abstract In recent years, metalloenzymes‐mediated highly selective oxidations of organic substrates under mild conditions have been inspiration for developing synthetic bioinspired catalyst systems, capable conducting such processes in the laboratory (and, future, industry), relying on easy‐to‐handle and environmentally benign oxidants as H 2 O . To date, non‐heme manganese complexes with chiral bis ‐amino‐ ‐pyridylmethyl structurally related ligands are considered possessing highest potential, having demonstrated ability to mediate a variety chemo‐ stereoselective oxidative transformations, epoxidations, C(sp 3 )‐H hydroxylations ketonizations, desymmetrizations, kinetic resolutions, etc. Furthermore, past few years Mn based catalysts become major platform studies focused getting insight into molecular mechanisms oxidant activation (stereo)selective oxygen transfer, testing non‐traditional hydroperoxide oxidants, engineering catalytic sites enzyme‐like substrate recognition‐based selectivity, exploration regioselectivity trends oxidation biologically active natural origin. This contribution summarizes progress catalyzed C‐H oxygenative transformations substrates, achieved essentially 5 (late 2018–2023).
