Chiral amines are widely used as catalysts in asymmetric synthesis to activate carbonyl groups for α-functionalization. Carbonyl catalysis reverses that strategy by using a carbonyl group to activate a primary amine. Inspired by biological carbonyl catalysis, which is exemplified by reactions of pyridoxal-dependent enzymes, we developed an N-quaternized pyridoxal catalyst for the asymmetric Mannich reaction of glycinate with aryl N-diphenylphosphinyl imines. The catalyst exhibits high activity and stereoselectivity, likely enabled by enzyme-like cooperative bifunctional activation of the substrates. Our work demonstrates the catalytic utility of the pyridoxal moiety in asymmetric catalysis.

The first asymmetric synthesis of 3-amino-substituted isoindolinones was accomplished via cascade hemiaminal-heterocyclization-intramolecular aza-Mannich reaction of amines and 2-formylbenzonitriles using chiral phase transfer conditions (PTC).

A cyclopropanone, a cyclopropenone, cyclobutanones, a cyclobutane-1,3-dione, and a cyclobutene-1,2-dione reacted with dimethoxycarbene to afford acetals of the next larger ring by formal insertion of the carbene into a C—C bond α to the carbonyl group. When either of two saturated α-ring carbons could be involved in the process, the ring expansion was selective, affording primarily the product of apparent insertion into the more substituted ring bond. With 2,3-dimethoxycyclobutene-1,2-dione, insertion occurred between the carbonyl groups and with β-propiolactone it occurred at the lactone bond. β-Propiolactam, however, reacted by insertion of the carbene into the N—H bond.Key words: β-propiolactone, cyclobutanone, cyclobutananedione, cyclopropanone, dialkoxycarbene.

Chiral tertiary α-hydroxyketones were synthesized with high enantiopurity by asymmetric decarboxylative chlorination and subsequent nucleophilic substitution. We recently reported the asymmetric decarboxylative chlorination of β-ketocarboxylic acids in the presence of a chiral primary amine catalyst to obtain α-chloroketones with high enantiopurity. Here, we found that nucleophilic substitution of the resulting α-chloroketones with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide yielded the corresponding α-hydroxyketones without loss of enantiopurity. The reaction proceeded smoothly even at a tertiary carbon. The proposed method would be useful for the preparation of chiral tertiary alcohols.

AbstractMetal-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of P-stereogenic phosphines is a potentially useful approach to a class of chiral ligands with valuable applications in asymmetric catalysis. We introduced this idea with chiral platinum and palladium catalysts, exploiting rapid pyramidal inversion in diastereomeric metal–phosphido complexes (ML*(PRR′)) to control phosphorus stereochemistry. This Account summarizes our attempts to develop related synthetic methods using earth-abundant metals, especially copper, in which weaker metal–ligand bonds and faster substitution processes were expected to result in more active catalysts. Indeed, precious metals were not required. Without any transition metals at all, we exploited related P-epimerization processes to prepare enantiomerically pure phosphiranes and secondary phosphine oxides (SPOs) from commercially available chiral epoxides.1 Introduction2 Copper-Catalyzed Phosphine Alkylation3 Copper-Catalyzed Tandem Phosphine Alkylation/Arylation4 Nickel-Catalyzed Phosphine Alkylation5 Proton-Mediated P-Epimerization in Synthesis of Chiral Phosphiranes6 Diastereoselective Synthesis of P-Stereogenic Secondary Phosphine Oxides (SPOs) from (+)-Limonene Oxide7 Conclusions
