A theoretical comparison of Lewis acid vs bronsted acid catalysis for n-hexane --> propane + propene.
Cracking of an all-trans n-alkane, via idealized Lewis acid and Bronsted acid catalysis, was examined using density functional theory. Optimized geometries and transitions states were determined for catalyst-reactant complexes, using AlCl3 and HCl.AlCl3 as the Lewis and Bronsted acids. For the Lewis acid cycle, hydride-transfer steps are seen to have large barriers in both forward and reverse d...
متن کاملArtificial metalloenzymes for enantioselective catalysis.
Artificial metalloenzymes have emerged over the last decades as an attractive approach towards combining homogeneous catalysis and biocatalysis. A wide variety of catalytic transformations have been established by artificial metalloenzymes, thus establishing proof of concept. The field is now slowly transforming to take on new challenges. These include novel designs, novel catalytic reactions, ...
متن کاملSynergistic Ion-Binding Catalysis Demonstrated via an Enantioselective, Catalytic [2,3]-Wittig Rearrangement
Sigmatropic rearrangements number among the most powerful complexity-building transformations in organic synthesis but have remained largely insensitive to enantioselective catalysis due to the diffuse nature of their transition structures. Here, we describe a synergistic ion-binding strategy for asymmetric catalysis of anionic sigmatropic rearrangements. This approach is demonstrated with the ...
متن کاملEnantioselective Photochemical Organocascade Catalysis
Reported herein is a photochemical cascade process that combines the excited-state and ground-state reactivity of chiral organocatalytic intermediates. This strategy directly converts racemic cyclopropanols and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes into stereochemically dense cyclopentanols with exquisite stereoselectivity. Mechanistic investigations have enabled elucidating the origin of the stereoconverg...
متن کاملEnantioselective bromocycloetherification by Lewis base/chiral Brønsted acid cooperative catalysis.
A binary catalyst system for the enantioselective bromocycloetherification of 5-arylpentenols is described. The combination of an achiral Lewis base and a chiral Brønsted acid affords good enantioselectivities for the cyclization of Z configured 5-arylpentenols to form bromomethyltetrahydrofurans. The constitutional site selectivity is highly dependent upon the aromatic substituent and the conf...
