Chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of quinolines in a sustainable solvent
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of diethyl carbonate as a sustainable solvent for organocatalytic asymmetric transfer hydrogenations of 2-substituted quinolines using highly efficient chiral phosphoric acid catalysts with Hantzsch esters as a hydrogen source is reported for the first time. The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reaction in diethyl carbonate provides enantiomerically pure 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines with high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). These results clearly confirm that this green and sustainable solvent is an excellent replacement for organic solvents, which are harmful to the environment, and transition metal based catalysts are not required. The effects of different chiral phosphoric acids, solvents, catalyst loading, temperature effect, and reaction time on the conversion and enantioselectivity of desired product are discussed. 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

A chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic amines, quinolin-3-amines, was successfully developed with up to 99% ee. To supplement our previous work on the Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-alkyl substituted quinolin-3-amines, a number of 2-aryl substituted substrates were reduced to provide a series of valuable chiral exocyclic amines with high dia...

Phosphothreonine (pThr) was found to constitute a new class of chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalyst upon insertion into peptides. To demonstrate the potential of these phosphopeptides as asymmetric catalysts, enantioselective transfer hydrogenations of a previously underexplored substrate class for CPA-catalyzed reductions were carried out. pThr-containing peptides lead to the observation of e...

An efficient and facile route to chiral tetrahydroquinolines with three contiguous stereogenic centers via a dynamic kinetic resolution process has been successfully developed by using chiral phosphoric acid as catalyst and Hantzsch ester as the hydrogen source with up to 89% ee.
متن کاملHighly enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of quinolines catalyzed by gold phosphates: achiral ligand tuning and chiral-anion control of stereoselectivity.
A little gold goes a long way: as little as 0.01 mol % of chiral gold phosphate is sufficient to afford the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of quinolines with high stereoselectivity (up to 98 % ee). The achiral ligands on gold were found to have considerable effect on the catalytic efficiency.
