From Racemic Alcohols to Enantiopure Amines: Ru-Catalyzed Diastereoselective Amination
نویسندگان
چکیده
A commercially available ruthenium(II) PNP-type pincer catalyst (Ru-Macho) promotes the formation of α-chiral tert-butanesulfinylamines from racemic secondary alcohols and Ellman's chiral tert-butanesulfinamide via a hydrogen borrowing strategy. The formation of α-chiral tert-butanesulfinylamines occurs in yields ranging from 31% to 89% with most examples giving >95:5 dr.

Highly efficient heterogeneous gold-catalyzed direct synthesis of tertiary and secondary amines from alcohols and urea.
Urea, the white gold: The efficient synthesis of tertiary and secondary amines is achieved by heterogeneous gold-catalyzed direct amination of stoichiometric alcohols with urea in good to excellent yields. Via a hydrogen autotransfer pathway, the reactions of primary alcohols with urea give tertiary amines exclusively, while secondary alcohols selectively afford secondary amines.
متن کاملsyn-1,2-Amino alcohols via diastereoselective allylic C-H amination.
syn-1,2-Amino alcohols are prevalent motifs in a diverse range of important small molecules such as natural products, pharmaceuticals, and asymmetric catalysts. The majority of methods for selectively constructing 1,2-amino alcohols rely on functional group interconversions or C-C bond-forming reactions using preoxidized materials.1 Selective methods for directly installing nitrogen functionali...
متن کاملTriphos derivatives and diphosphines as ligands in the ruthenium-catalysed alcohol amination with NH3.
The ruthenium-triphos and diphosphine-catalysed amination of alcohols with ammonia is reported. Various types of triphos derivatives with electron-donating functional group were synthesized and used as ligands in the Ru-catalysed alcohol amination with NH3. The triphos derivatives are effective for the formation of primary amines. On the other hand, if hemilabile diphosphines as tridentate liga...
متن کاملRhodium-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective amination of racemic secondary allylic trichloroacetimidates with N-methyl anilines.
We report the chiral diene ligated rhodium-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) of racemic secondary allylic trichloroacetimidates with a variety of N-methyl anilines, providing allylic N-methyl arylamines in high yields, regioselectivity, and enantiomeric excess. The rhodium-catalyzed DYKAT method addresses limitations previously associated with this particular class of ...
متن کاملSyntheses of enantiopure aliphatic secondary alcohols and acetates by bioresolution with lipase B from Candida antarctica.
The lipase B from Candida antarctica (Novozym 435®, CALB) efficiently catalyzed the kinetic resolution of some aliphatic secondary alcohols: (±)-4-methylpentan-2-ol, (±)-5-methylhexan-2-ol, (±)-octan-2-ol, (±)-heptan-3-ol and (±)-oct-1-en-3-ol. The lipase showed excellent enantioselectivities in the transesterifications of racemic aliphatic secondary alcohols producing the enantiopure alcohols ...
