A Mixed Ligand Approach for the Asymmetric Hydrogenation of 2Substituted Pyridinium Salts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Herein we describe a new methodology for the asymmetric hydrogenation (AH) of 2-substituted pyridinium salts. An iridium catalyst based on a mixture of a chiral monodentate phosphoramidite and an achiral phosphine was shown to hydrogenate N-benzyl-2-arylpyiridinium bromides to the corresponding N-benzyl-2-arylpiperidines with full conversion and good enantioselectivity. The mechanism of the reaction under optimized conditions was investigated via kinetic measurements and isotopic labeling experiments. Our study suggests that the hydrogenation starts with a 1,4-hydride addition and that the enantiodiscriminating step involves the reduction of an iminium intermediate.

Asymmetric hydrogenation of pyridinium salts with an iridium phosphole catalyst.
Iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of N-alkyl-2-alkylpyridinium salts provided 2-aryl-substituted piperidines with high levels of enantioselectivity. Simple benzyl and other alkyl groups successfully activated the challenging pyridine substrates toward hydrogenation. The use of the unusual chiral-phosphole-based MP(2) -SEGPHOS was the key to the success of this approach which provides a...
متن کاملAsymmetric Hydrogenation of Quinolines Catalyzed by Iridium Complexes of Monodentate BINOL-Derived Phosphoramidites
The monodentate BINOL-derived phosphoramidite PipPhos is used as ligand for the iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of 2and 2,6-substituted quinolines. If tri-ortho-tolylphosphine and/or chloride salts are used as additives enantioselectivities are strongly enhanced up to 89%. NMR indicates that no mixed complexes are formed upon addition of tri-ortho-tolylphosphine.
متن کاملChiral iridium(I) bis(NHC) complexes as catalysts for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation
The common use of NHC complexes in transition-metal mediated C–C coupling and metathesis reactions in recent decades has established N-heterocyclic carbenes as a new class of ligand for catalysis. The field of asymmetric catalysis with complexes bearing NHC-containing chiral ligands is dominated by mixed carbene/oxazoline or carbene/phosphane chelating ligands. In contrast, applications of comp...
متن کاملAsymmetric hydrogenation of quinazolinium salts catalysed by halide-bridged dinuclear iridium complexes bearing chiral diphosphine ligands.
Asymmetric hydrogenation of quinazolinium salts was catalysed by halogen-bridged dinuclear iridium complexes bearing chiral diphosphine ligands, yielding tetrahydroquinazoline and 3,4-dihydroquinazoline with high enantioselectivity. A derivative of chiral dihydroquinazoline was used as a chiral NHC ligand.

A new approach to optically active N-methylamino acids is presented, relying on stereoselective reduction of N-methylisoxazolinium salts with a dioxyethyl side-chain. The diastereoselectivity of the reduction step is studied systematically, in comparison with that of respective isoxazolines. A two-step transformation of isoxazolinium salts – with NaBH3(OAc) and subsequent catalytic hydrogenatio...
