Rational design of mimetic peptides based on aldo-ketoreductase enzyme as asymmetric organocatalysts in aldol reactions
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Peptides as a kind of important chiral scaffold are broadly identified for their obvious advantages, diverse structures and accessibility. Based on promiscuous aldo-keto-reductase enzymes, several mimetic peptides were designed which were synthesized and tested as multifunctional organocatalysts in direct asymmetric aldol reactions. The corresponding aldol products were produced with high yields (up to 97%) and excellent diastereoselectivities (up to 99/1) and enantioselectivities (>98%) under mild reaction selectivity and enantioselectivity. The secondary structures of peptide catalysts provide an understanding of their mechanism.

Binaphthyl-based chiral bifunctional organocatalysts for water mediated asymmetric List-Lerner-Barbas aldol reactions.
Novel binaphthyl-based chiral bifunctional organocatalysts were designed, synthesized and successfully applied to the asymmetric List-Lerner-Barbas aldol reaction in the presence of water. These organocatalysts were found to be effective catalysts for the reactions of symmetrical, unsymmetrical and cyclic ketones with different aldehydes to give the corresponding aldol products with higher yiel...
متن کاملRational combination of two privileged chiral backbones: highly efficient organocatalysts for asymmetric direct aldol reactions between aromatic aldehydes and acylic ketones.
A new class of organocatalysts has been designed by rational combination of proline with cinchona alkaloids. The chiral amine 3a, prepared from l-proline and cinchonidine, has been found to be an efficient catalyst for the direct aldol reactions of acetone or 2-butanone with a wide range of aldehydes (up to 98% ee). The cinchonidine backbone is essential to the reaction efficiency and enantiose...
متن کاملGuanidinium-tagged Organocatalysts for Direct Aldol Reactions
Hexasubstituted guanidinium moieties have been used as ionic liquid tags for organocatalyts for the first time. Such conjugates were obtained in the (S)-proline and (S)-pyrrolidine-2-ylmethyl series by alkylation reactions of pentasubstituted guanidines. The resulting guanidinium-tagged organocatalysts were applied to asymmetric direct aldol reactions providing high stereoselectivities and yiel...
متن کاملOrganocatalytic asymmetric direct vinylogous aldol reactions of γ-crotonolactone with aromatic aldehydes.
The direct aldol reaction of γ-crotonolactone and various aromatic aldehydes is catalyzed by bifunctional aminothiourea and aminosquaramide organocatalysts to provide diastereomerically and enantiomerically enriched 5-substituted 2(5H) furanones (γ-butenolides). The reaction is a simple alternative to the classical vinylogous aldol reaction of silyloxy furans.

Various organocatalysts have been developed for the aldol reaction but particular attention has been paid to prolinamide derivatives. They are easy to prepare and their catalytic activity can be readily tuned through structural modification. In this review, the comparison of catalytic activities between prolinethioamides and their respective amides in direct asymmetric aldol reactions is presen...
