Effect of substituents on enantioselectivity in chiral oxazaborolidine mediated asymmetric ketone reduction reaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various new chiral ligands have been synthesized by the condensation of different esters of L-Valine with different substituted salicylaldehydes in order to find the most effective catalyst for the enantioselctive ketone reduction. Chiral amine synthesized from L-Valine methyl ester and 5-chloro salicylaldehyde is found to catalyse the enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketone with high yield (99%) and enantiomeric excess (91%) with 20 mol% of the catalyst using borane dimethylsulphide as a stoichiometric reducutant. Different subsituted prochiral ketones have also been reduced in high yield upto 90% and the corresponding secondary alcohols are formed with good enantiomeric excess upto 99%. The mechanism of this reduction can be very well explained by considering a plausible mechanism for the CBS catalyst.

Highly enantioselective epoxidation of styrenes: implication of an electronic effect on the competition between spiro and planar transition states.
Asymmetric epoxidation of various styrenes using carbocyclic oxazolidinone-containing ketone 3 has been investigated. High enantioselectivity (89-93% enantiomeric excess) has been attained for this challenging class of alkenes. Mechanistic studies show that substituents on the ketone catalyst can have electronic influences on secondary orbital interactions, which affects the competition between...

Asymmetric reduction of the prochiral aromatic ketone catalyzed by yeast cells is one of the most promising routes to produce its corresponding enantiopure aromatic alcohol, but the space-time yield does not meet people’s expectations. Therefore, the toxicity of aromatic ketone and aromatic alcohol to the yeast cell is investigated in this work. It has been found that the aromatic compounds are...
