    Recent Advances in Recoverable Systems for the Copper-Catalyzed Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition Reaction (CuAAC)

    Full text link
    The explosively-growing applications of the Cu-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between organic azides and alkynes (CuAAC) have stimulated an impressive number of reports, in the last years, focusing on recoverable variants of the homogeneous or quasihomogeneous catalysts. Recent advances in the field are reviewed, with particular emphasis on systems immobilized onto polymeric organic or inorganic supports

    Separation of Enantiomers by Inclusion Gas Chromatography: On the Influence of Water in the Molecular Complexation of Methyl 2-Chloropropanoate Enantiomers and the Modified γ-Cyclodextrin Lipodex-E

    Full text link
    A profound influence of water has previously been detected in the complexation of the enantiomers of methyl 2-chloropropanoate (MCP) and the chiral selector octakis(3-O-butanoyl-2,6-di-O-pentyl)-γ-cyclodextrin (Lipodex-E) in NMR and sensor experiments. We therefore investigated the retention behavior of MCP enantiomers on Lipodex-E by gas chromatography (GC) under hydrous conditions. Addition of water to the N2 carrier gas modestly reduced the retention factors k of the enantiomers, notably for the second eluted enantiomer (S)-MCP. This resulted in an overall decrease of enantioselectivity -ΔS,R(ΔG) in the presence of water. The effect was fully reversible. Consequently, for a conditioned column in the absence of residual water, the determined thermodynamic data, i.e. ΔS,R(ΔH) = -12.64 ± 0.08 kJ mol-1 and ΔS,R(ΔS) = -28.18 ± 0.23 J K-1 mol-1, refer to a true 1:1 complexation process devoid of hydrophobic hydration.

    Insoluble polystyrene-bound bis(oxazoline): batch and continuous-flow heterogeneous enantioselective glyoxylate–ene reaction

    No full text
    The use of a new, insoluble polymer-bound bis(oxazoline) ligand (IPB-box) for the copper-catalyzed heterogeneous enantioselective glyoxylate-ene reaction is described. Good activity and ee values in the range 85-95% have been obtained during five to seven recycles, either in batch mode or under flow conditions, demonstrating also the recovery and reuse of the whole catalytically active copper complex

    Highly stereoselective hydrogenation of dibenzoylmethane in the presence of [RuCl2 {(R)-biphemp}] [biphemp = 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-6,6′-dimethyl-1,1′-biphenyl], in ethanol-dichloromethane, gives enantiomerically pure (−)-1,3-diphenylpropane-1,3-diol (2) (70% yield); analysis of the CD spectra of the corresponding acetonide allows the absolute configuration of the diol to be established as (S,S). The direct HPLC separation of the enantiomers of (2) is also reported

    New Polymer-Supported Mono- and Bis-Cinchona Alkaloid Derivatives: Synthesis and Use in Asymmetric Organocatalyzed Reactions

    Full text link
    The straightforward synthesis of polystyrene-supported Chinchona alkaloids and their application in the asymmetric dimerization of ketenes is reported. Six different immobilized derivatives, consisting of three dimeric and two monomeric 9-O ethers, were prepared by “click” anchoring of soluble alkaloid precursors on to azidomethyl resins. The resulting insoluble polymer-bound (IPB) organocatalysts were employed for promoting the dimerization of in-situ generated ketenes. After opening of the ketene dimer intermediates with N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine, valuable Weinreb amides were eventually obtained in good yield (up to 81 %) and excellent enantiomeric purity (up to 96 % ee). All of the IPB catalysts could be recycled effectively without significant loss of activity and enantioselectivity. The extension to other asymmetric transformations (meso-anhydride desymmetrization and α-amination of 2-oxindoles) is also briefly discussed
