Biocatalysis relies on nature’s most catalysts, i.e., enzymes, provide exquisite selectivity, well tolerance diverse functional groups under mild conditions. Thus, enzymatic optical resolution, kinetic resolution dynamic have revolutionized production compounds. organocatalysis uses metal-free organocatalysts, consisting modular phosphorus, sulfur nitrogen components, remarkably transformations. Additionally, unlocking traditionally unreactive C-H bonds through selective functionalization expanded arsenal synthesis, atom-economical construction Incorporating flow chemistry been transformative, continuous systems reaction conditions, enhancing efficiency optimization. Researchers are increasingly adopting hybrid approaches that combine multiple strategies synergistically tackle complex synthetic challenges. This convergence holds great promise, propelling field forward in form. As these methodologies evolve complement one another, they push boundaries what can be accomplished leading discovery novel, highly may lead groundbreaking applications across industries.

Enantioselective Flow Synthesis of a Tetrahydroquinoline SERM Enabled by Immobilized Chiral Phosphoric Acid Catalysis and Diboronic Acid Mediated Selective Nitro Reduction

Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 366(4), С. 1024 - 1030

Опубликована: Янв. 13, 2024

Abstract An asymmetric enantioselective flow process is reported for the formal synthesis of a 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroquinoline selective estrogen receptor modulator. Starting from an easily available 2‐nitrochalcone, first part comprised telescoped nitro reduction/intramolecular cyclocondensation sequence using diboronic acid as simple reductant. Subsequent transfer hydrogenation in presence immobilized phosphoric organocatalyst followed by N ‐alkylation furnished targeted chiral intermediate. The approach ensures flexibility regarding scale synthesis, whilst minimizing need intermediate purifications and ensuring environmentally benign metal‐free conditions.

Chiral tetrahydroquinolines are present in several bioactive molecules, such as the Hancock alkaloids. Although organocatalytic asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of 2-aryl quinolines has emerged a safer alternative to using hydrogen gas, analogous reactions with 2-alkenyl remain unexplored. Here we protocol synthesize key enantioenriched intermediates alkaloids, providing constant outcome for, at least, 24 h continuous flow operation.

Asymmetric organocatalysis has been recognized as one of the Top 10 Emerging Technologies in Chemistry by IUPAC 2019. Its potential to make chemical processes more sustainable is promising, but there are still challenges that need be addressed. Developing new and reliable enantioselective for reproducing batch reactions on a large scale requires combination technical solutions. In this manuscript, we combine robust immobilized chiral phosphoric acid with packed-bed reactor design. This allows scaling up addition thiols imines from few milligrams multi-decagram continuous flow process without physical or degradation catalyst.
