    Abstract Potassium alkoxide was found to be a highly active catalyst for the nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of carbonyl compounds. The catalytic system was successfully applied to the reactions of both aldehydes and ketones, affording the corresponding trifluoromethylated products in high yields at low catalyst loadings (0.1–0.01 mol%) in several solvents, such as THF, toluene, and CH2Cl2. In addition, the potassium salt of a Ru(II) complex bearing an (S)-2,2′-bis[bis(3,5-dimethylphenyl)phosphinyl]-1,1′-binaphthalene [(S)-XylBINAP] ligand and two l-threoninate ligands, prepared in situ, catalyzed the enantioselective trifluoromethylation of aromatic aldehydes, although the ee values were not satisfactory (less than 20%).

    Abstract3-Aryloxindole derivatives were synthesized through a Friedel–Crafts-type cyclization. The reaction was catalyzed by a trimethylsilyl tricyanopalladate complex generated in situ from trimethylsilyl cyanide and Pd(OAc)2. Wide varieties of diethyl phosphates derived from N-arylmandelamides were converted almost quantitatively into oxindoles. When N,N-dibenzylamide was used instead of an anilide substrate, a benzo-fused δ-lactam was obtained. An oxindole product was subjected to substitution reactions to afford 3,3-diaryloxindoles with two different aryl groups.

    © 2019 The Chemical Society of Japan. All rights reserved. Two types of chiral Ru(II) complexes, each with two kinds of ligands, have been designed and utilized as catalysts for several asymmetric reactions under appropriate conditions. The first type, the diphosphine/diamineRu(II)-type complexes, were found to catalyze the hydrogenation of a variety of simple and functionalized ketones as well as imino compounds with high activity and enantioselectivity. The double asymmetric hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated ketones into the chiral saturated alcohols was achieved by using the dual catalyst system, which reversibly forms two catalytic species. The asymmetric isomerization of primary allylic alcohols into the optically active aldehydes with almost perfect enantioselectivity was realized with this type of catalyst. The second type, the amino acid/diphosphineRu(II)-type complexes combined with Li compounds, exhibited excellent catalyst performance in the asymmetric cyanosilylation of aldehydes as well as simple and functionalized ketones. The isolated Ru¢Li bimetallic complexes were suitable for the asymmetric hydrocyanation of aldehydes. This combined system was applicable to the asymmetric conjugate hydrocyanation of α,β-unsaturated ketones and carboxylic acid derivatives, and the Strecker-type reaction of the π-isoelectronic N-alkoxycarbonyl aldimines. This account describes the concept underlying the design of these catalysts, and the catalyst performance in the asymmetric reactions.

    Asymmetric cyanosilylation of alkynyl ketones with the catalyst systems consisting of amino acid/2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (BINAP)/ruthenium(II) complex and lithium phenoxide (Ru⋅Li cat.) was studied. The reaction was conducted in tert-butyl methyl ether (TBME) at −78 °C with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio (S/C) as high as 2000. A series of simple and functionalized ketones was converted into the alkynyl tertiary cyanohydrin derivatives in up to 99% ee. Appropriate selection of an amino-acid ligand of the catalyst according to the substrate structure was crucially important to achieve high enantioselectivity and a wide scope of substrates. Transformation of the chiral cyanohydrin product into a functionalized lactone was also examined. (Figure presented.).

    The asymmetric hydrogenation of aromatic γ- and δ-keto esters into optically active hydroxy esters or diols under the catalysis of a novel DIPSkewphos/3-AMIQ–RuII complex was studied. Under the optimized conditions (8 atm H2, Ru complex/t-C4H9OK=1:3.5, 25 °C) the γ- and δ-hydroxy esters (including γ-lactones) were obtained quantitatively with 97–99 % ee. When the reaction was conducted under somewhat harsh conditions (20 atm H2, [t-C4H9OK]=50 mm, 40 °C), the 1,4- and 1,5-diols were obtained predominantly with 95–99 % ee. The reactivity of the ester group was notably dependent on the length of the carbon spacer between the two carbonyl moieties of the substrate. The reaction of β- and ϵ-keto esters selectively afforded the hydroxy esters regardless of the reaction conditions. This catalyst system was applied to the enantioselective and regioselective (for one of the two ester groups) hydrogenation of a γ-ϵ-diketo diester into a trihydroxy ester.

    Aza-Diels-Alder-type cycloaddition reactions between a range of N-arylimines and functionalized alkenes were effectively catalyzed by the Cr(III)/bipyridine complex under irradiation of blue light, to give the corresponding 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline derivatives in high yields with excellent diastereoselectivity. Typically, the reaction of benzylideneaniline with 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone proceeded smoothly with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio (S/C) of 1000 and completed within 4 h at room temperature (20-25 °C), affording the cycloaddition product in 97% yield.

    Double asymmetric hydrogenation of linear beta,beta-disubstituted alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones catalyzed by the DM-SEGPHOS/DMAPEN/Ru-II complex with t-C4H9OK afforded the gamma-substituted secondary alcohols in high diastereo-and enantioselectivities. Some mechanistic experiments suggested that two different reactive species, type (I) and (II), were reversibly formed in this catalytic system: Type (I) with the diamine ligand DMAPEN enantioselectively hydrogenated the enones into the chiral allylic alcohols, and type (II) without the diamine ligand diastereoselectively hydrogenated the allylic alcohols into the gamma-substituted secondary alcohols. This dual catalysis protocol was successfully applied to the reaction of a variety of aliphatic-and aromatic-substituted enone substrates.

    Catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones through the "metal-ligand cooperative mechanism" has been improved in terms of the efficiency, stereoselectivity, and scope of substrates by varying the arrangement of the catalyst structure and reaction conditions. Imino compounds are also smoothly converted to the optically active amines with appropriate catalysts. This type of catalyst exhibits excellent performance on the asymmetric isomerization of primary allylic alcohols into the optically active aldehydes. This personal account describes recent progress on these topics.

    Catalytic chemoselective hydrogenation of organic azides using palladium nanoparticles stabilized by alkyne derivatives was studied. A broad range of aromatic and aliphatic azides were smoothly reduced to the corresponding amines in excellent yields with a quite small amount of the catalyst. Hydrogenation of 3-phenylpropylazide gave 3-phenylpropylamine almost quantitatively with a substrate-to-palladium molar ratio (S/Pd) of 12,900 under 8 atm of H-2. The reaction under 1 atm of H2 also proceeded smoothly with an S/Pd of 1000. Several reduction-sensitive functional groups, such as carbonyl, halide, benzylic OH, and aliphatic nitro were well tolerated under the reaction conditions. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

    Novel methods for the construction of molecular frameworks were developed by means of photochemical activation of 5-membered heteroaromatics, including furans, thiophenes, thiazoles, and oxazoles. Intramolecular Diels-Alder-type cycloaddition reactions between furan and an unactivated alkene moiety were found to proceed in high yields in the presence of 9,10-dicyanoanthracene under UV irradiation to afford oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane derivatives with high stereoselectivity. Photoirradiation onto alpha-arylthiophene derivatives linked with an alkene moiety through a three-atom spacer gave unprecedented cyclobutene-fused perhydrothiapentalene-type compounds in high yields with high stereoselectivity. A photo-ene type cyclization of 2-aryloxazole derivatives linked with an alkene moiety through a three-atom spacer at the 5-position gave a range of functionalized spiro[4.4] cyclic compounds that included cyclopentane, tetrahydrofuran, and pyrrolidine moieties in moderate to high yields with excellent diastereoselectivity.

    Catalytic asymmetric cyanations of prochiral unsaturated compounds affording the corresponding nitrile products in high enantiomeric excess (>= 90% in general) are summarized in this review. The nucleophilic cyanide addition onto aldehydes, ketones, and imines is promoted by chiral metal complexes and organocatalysts. Recent progress in asymmetric conjugate cyanation of alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is also discussed. The asymmetric cyanation of unactivated alkenes is catalyzed by chiral transition-metal complexes. Current topics of intramolecular carbocyanation and aminocyanation in addition to the traditional hydrocyanation are reviewed.

    Palladium nanoparticles stabilized by alkyne derivatives catalyzed the hydrogenation of nitroarenes to the aryl amines in homogeneous phase. The reaction of nitrobenzene proceeded smoothly with a substrate-to-palladium molar ratio (S/Pd) of 51,000 under 8 atm of H-2. The reaction under 1 atm of H-2 with an S/Pd of 1030 was completed in 4 h. A series of substituted nitroarenes, including 4-acetyl- and 4-formylnitrobenzenes, were converted to the aryl amines with high chemoselectivity. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Photoirradiation of 2-arylthiazoles derivatives linked with an alkene moiety through a three-atom spacer was investigated. The main products were unexpected tetrahydrofuran-fused thiazepine derivatives with concomitant formation of [2+2] cycloaddition products and regioisomeric thiazoles. The product distribution was little influenced by the reaction conditions and substituents of the substrates.

    Asymmetric conjugate hydrocyanation of alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives catalyzed by a Ru[(S)phgly](2)[(S)-binap]-CH2OLi system was examined. The N-acylpyrrole gave the best result in terms of reactivity and enantioselectivity. A series of substrates with alkyl or heterosubstituted alkyl groups at the beta-position reacted with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio of 200-2000 to afford the beta-cyano products in the range of 88%->99% ee. The mode of enantioselection in the hydrocyanation was proposed.

    Enantioselective hydrogenation of alkynyl ketones catalyzed by Ru(OTf)(TsDPEN)(eta(6)-p-cymene) (TsDPEN = N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine) affords the propargylic alcohols in up to 97% ee. The alkynyl moieties are left intact In most cases. The reaction can be conducted with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio as high as 5000 under 10 atm of H-2. The mode of enantioselection is elucidated with the transition state models directed by the CH/pi attractive interaction between the substrate and the catalytic species.

    A diastereomerically mixed complex [Ru{(S)-phgly}(2){(+/-)-biphep}] is readily prepared from achiral diphosphine BIPHEP in two steps. These diastereomers are then separated by silica gel column chromatography. A 61:39 equilibrium mixture of [Ru{(S)-phgly}(2){(S)-biphep}] and [Ru{(S)-phgly}(2){(R)-biphep}] with Li2CO3 is used to catalyze cyano-silylation of benzaldehyde to afford the R cyanated product in 92% ee. The enantioselectivity is just slightly lower than that by using the pure [Ru{(S)-phgly}(2){(S)-biphep}]/Li2CO3 catalyst system of 96%. The high enantioselective ability of the diastereomerically mixed catalyst is revealed through a series of kinetic experiments in which the highly enantioselective [Ru{(S)-phgly}(2){(S)-biphep}]/Li2CO3 system is shown to catalyze the reaction 16.8 times faster than the less selective [Ru{(S)-phgly}(2){(R)-biphep}]/Li2CO3 system, affording the product in 2.6% ee. An equation is derived to approximate the relationship between the diastereomeric ratio of the catalyst and the ee value of the product.

    The ruthenabicyclic complex RuCl[(R)-daipena][(R)-dm-segphos] with potassium tert-butoxide catalyzes the hydrogenation of 2-alkylquinoxalines and a 3-methyl-2H-1,4-benzoxazine in toluene under 20-100 atm of hydrogen at 40 °C to afford S-configured cyclic amino products in greater than 97% enantiomeric excess {DAIPENA=anion of DAIPEN at the 2-position of an anisyl group, DAIPEN=1,1-di (4-anisyl)-2-isopropyl-1,2-ethylenediamine, DM-SEGPHOS=(4,4′-bi-1,3-benzodioxole)-5,5′-diylbis[di(3,5-xylyl) phosphine]}. The high catalytic activity results in a turnover number as high as 9400. Hydrogenation of the benzoimine heterocycles with the RuCl[(R)-daipena][(R)-segphos]/ potassium tert-butoxide system yields the R-configured products in high enantiomeric excess [SEGPHOS=(4,4′-bi-1,3- benzodioxole)-5,5′-diylbis-(diphenylphosphine)]. The mode of enantioselection is discussed based on transition state models involving six-membered pericyclic structures. © 2013 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH& Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

    In this chapter asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones by the use of chiral catalysts is described. In the first part, the asymmetric hydrogenation of functionalized ketones including β-keto esters, α-keto esters, and α-alkoxy or amino ketones is discussed mainly in homogeneous catalytic systems. In the second part, we describe the highly stereoselective manner of the reaction with nonfunctionalized (simple) ketones. The final part of this chapter deals with the highly diastereo- and enantioselective hydrogenation accompanied by dynamic kinetic resolution. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    The new catalyst system of RuBr2[(S,S)-xyl-skewphos][(S,S)-dpen] and potassium tert-butoxide shows high reactivity and enantioselectivity in the hydrogenation of N-arylimines [Xyl-Skewphos=2,4-bis(di-3,5-xylylphosphino)pentane, DPEN=1,2-diphenylethylenediamine]. A range of imines derived from aromatic and heteroaromatic ketones as well as some ferrocenyl and vinylic imines are hydrogenated with a turnover number as high as 18,000 under 10-50 atm of hydrogen to afford the amine products in up to 99% enantiomeric excess. The reaction is applied to the synthesis of a chiral N-arylamine, which is the synthetic intermediate of a biologically active compound. The mode of enantioselection is interpreted by using transition-state models based on the X-ray structure of the Xyl-Skewphos/DPEN-RuBr2 complex.

    The Pd(OAc)2-induced carbonylation of alkoxy-substituted 1-amino-2-phenyltetralins and 1-amino-2-phenylnaphthalenes was examined to provide the benzo[c]phenanthridine ring system. The carbonylation of substrates containing methylenedioxy groups gave oxysanguinarine and oxyavicine. The tetramethoxy derivatives gave O-methyloxyfagaronine. The substrate with a benzyloxy group afforded a known synthetic precursor to the antileukemic alkaloid, fagaronine.

    Enantioselective reactions of simple ketones, a,a- and beta,beta-dialkoxy ketones, and a-alkoxy ketones with trimethylsilyl cyanide catalyzed by the bimetallic systems of amino acid/BINAP/ruthenium(II) complexes and lithium phenoxide have been studied [BINAP=2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl]. The Ru(PhGly)2(BINAP)-lithium phenoxide system showed high enantioselectivity for the reaction of acetophenone derivatives to afford the cyanated products in up to 90% ee [PhGly=phenylglycinate]. For the cyanosilylation of dialkoxy ketones and a-alkoxy ketones, the Ru(t-Leu)2(BINAP)-lithium phenoxide system exhibited the best catalyst performance to produce the cyanohydrin derivatives in up to 99% ee and 98% ee, respectively [t-Leu=tert-leucinate]. The excellent catalytic activity resulted in complete conversion in the reaction with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio (S/C) of 10,000 in the best cases.

    Photoirradiation of alpha-arylthiophene derivatives linked with an alkene moiety through a three-atom spacer gave unprecedented cyclobutene-fused perhydrothiapentalene-type compounds in high yields, but neither [2 + 2] nor [4 + 2] cycloaddition products. The reaction afforded a single diastereomer in many cases. The chemical structure and relative configuration of a typical product were unambiguously determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

    Phosphane-free Pd-0-catalyzed intramolecular aromatic amination was studied. o-Halophenethylamines and 3-(o-halophenyl)propylamines were found to be transformed into indolines and quinolines in a catalytic system based on Pd(OAc)(2) and Cu(OAc)(2) in the presence of K2CO3. Application of the method to substrates containing isoquinoline rings - the 1-(o-bromobenzyl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines 6, the 1-(o-bromobenzyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines 7, and the 1-(o-bromophenethyl)isoquinolines 9 - provided the indolo[2,1-a] isoquinoline and dibenzo[a,f] quinolizine ring systems 8 and 10. Extension of the method to beta-carbolines (compounds 11, 12, and 17) produced the benz[f] indolo[2,3-a]indolizine-13-ones 15 and the benz[f] indolo[2,3-a] quinolizine 18. The benzo[f] pyrido[3,4-a] indolizine and indolo[f] pyrido[ 3,4-a]indolizin-12-one ring systems 27 and 31 were built in a similar manner. It was also found that under an atmosphere of CO the same catalytic system produced the corresponding benzolactams, the isoquino[2,1-a][2,7] naphthyridine 34 and the indolo[2,3-a] pyrido[g]quinolizin-8-one 36 [(+/-)-dihydronauclefine] in good yields.

The reaction with 0.5 equiv of n-C3H7NCO is carried out with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio of 500-5000 at -20 to 25 degrees C. The high enantiomer-discrimination ability of the catalyst achieves an excellent stereoselectivity factor (s = k(fast)/k(slow)) of 261 in the best case. A catalytic cycle for this reaction is proposed.

    alpha-Substituted chiral ketones that have small steric and electronic differences around the reaction sites are difficult substrates to reduce with high diastereoselectivity. Metal hydride reduction of 2-(4-benzoylmorpholinyl) phenyl ketone and 3-(1-tert-butoxycarbonylpiperidinyl) phenyl ketone using sodium borohydride, zinc borohydride, and potassium tri-sec-butylborohydride as reducing agents affords the syn- and anti-alcohols in a lower than 80:20 ratio. Hydrogenation of these ketones with a catalyst system of RuCl(2)(BIPHEP) (DMEN) and potassium tert-butoxide in 2-propanol results in the syn-alcohols with >= 99:1 selectivity [BIPHEP= 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)biphenyl, DMEN= N,N-dimethylethylenediamine]. The marked difference in the diastereoselectivity suggests that the stereoselection in this hydrogenation is primarily regulated by the structure of the catalyst's reaction field ("catalyst-controlled diastereoselection") but not the internal stereocontrol of the substrates. This chemistry is applied to the asymmetric hydrogenation through dynamic kinetic resolution with a RuCl(2)[(S)-BINAP][(R)-DMAPEN]/potassium tert-butoxide catalyst [BINAP= 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)- 1,1'-binaphthyl, DMAPEN = 2-dimethylamino-1-phenylethylamine]. A series of aryl heterocycloalkyl ketones has been converted to the alcohols in excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The modes of catalyst-controlled diastereoselection and enantioselection are interpreted by using transition-state molecular models. (S,S)-Reboxetine, a selective norepinephrine uptake inhibitor, was synthesized from one of product alcohols.

    A novel ruthenabicyclic complex with base shows excellent catalytic activity in the asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones. The turnover frequency of the hydrogenation of acetophenone reaches about 35 000 min(-1) in the best case, affording 1-phenylethanol in >99% ee. Several aliphatic and base-labile ketones are smoothly converted to the corresponding alcohols in high enantioselectivity. The catalytic cycle for this hydrogenation, in which the ruthenabicyclic structure of the catalyst is maintained, is proposed on the basis of the deuteration experiment and spectroscopic analysis data.

    Reaction of O-propargyl salicylaldehyde and related compounds with dialkylamines in the presence of copper(I) iodide gave 4-(alkylamino)-3-methylenechroman derivatives in good yields through the loss of one alkyl group of the dialkylamine. The reaction also worked well by employing 2-amino benzaldehyde derivatives to afford 4-(alkylamino)-3-methylene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines. A deuterium-labeling experiment suggested that the a-hydrogen of the dialkylamine was transferred intramolecularly into the terminal methylene. This result indicated the reaction mechanism, which involved the formation of iminium ion between the aldehyde and the dialkylamine followed by ene-type C-C bond formation with inverse electron demand and hydrolysis.

    Ru complexes with chiral diphosphines and amine-based ligands achieve high catalytic activity and enantioselectivity for the hydrogenation of ketones under neutral to slightly basic conditions. The chiral environment is controllable by changing the combination of these two ligands. A concerted six-membered transition state is proposed to be the origin of the high reactivity. The η6-arene/TsDPEN-Ru and MsDPEN-Cp*Ir catalysts effect the asymmetric reaction under slightly acidic conditions. A variety of chiral secondary alcohols are obtained in high enantiomeric excess. © 2010 The Japan Academy.

    The asymmetric reaction of alpha-keto esters and (CH3)(3)SiCN, catalyzed by a combined system of [Ru{(S)-phgly}(2){(S)-binap}] and C6H5OLi with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio (S/C) of 1000 at -60 degrees C, affords silylated cyanohydrins in up to 99 % ee. Cyanosilylation smoothly proceeds with an S/C of 10,000 at -50 degrees C. The use of Xyl-Binap instead of Binap as a ligand provides better enantioselectivity in some cases. A series of aromatic, hetero-aromatic, aliphatic, and alpha,beta-unsaturated keto esters are converted into the desired products.

    Aromatic ketones are enantioseletively hydrogenated in alcohols containing [RuX{(S,S)-Tsdpen)(eta(6)-p-cymene)] (Tsdpen=TsNCH(C6H5)CH-(C6H3)NH2; X = TfO, Cl) as precatalysts. The corresponding Ru hydride (X = H) acts as a reducing species. The solution structures and complete spectral assignment of these complexes have been determined using 2D NMR (H-1-H-1 DQF-COSY, H-1-C-13 HMQC, HSQC, and H-1-F-19 HOESY). Depending on the nature of the solvents and conditions, the precatalysts exist as a covalently bound complex, tight ion pair of [Ru+(Tsdpen)(cymene)] and X-, solvent-separated ion pair, or discrete free ions. Solvent effects on the NH2 chemical shifts of the Ru complexes and the hydrodynamic radius and volume of the Re and TfO- ions elucidate the process of precatalyst activation for hydrogenation. Most notably, the Ru triflate possessing a high ionizability, substantiated by cyclic voltammetry, exists in alcoholic solvents largely as a solvent-separated ion pair and/or free ions. Accordingly, its diffusion-derived data in CD3OD reflect the independent motion of [Ru+(Tsdpen)(cymene) and TfO-. In CDCl3, the complex largely retains the covalent structure showing similar diffusion data for the cation and anion. The Ru triflate and chloride show similar but distinct solution behavior in various solvents. Conductivity measurements and catalytic behavior demonstrate that both complexes ionize in CH3OH to generate a common [Ru+(Tsdpen)(cymene)] and X-, although the extent is significantly greater for X = TfO-. The activation of [RuX(Tsdpen)(cymene)] during catalytic hydrogenation in alcoholic solvent occurs by simple ionization to generate [Ru+(Tsdpen)(cymene)]. The catalytic activity is thus significantly influenced by the reaction conditions.

    Asymmetric hydrogenation of aromatic heterocyclic ketones catalyzed by Cp*Ir(OTf)(Msdpen) (MsDPEN = N-(methanesulfonyl)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine) affords the heterocyclic alcohols in 93% to >99% ee. The reaction is conducted in a methanolic solution with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio of 200-5000 under 15 atm of H-2. The heterocyclic rings of substrates are left intact.

    Palladium nanoparticles are prepared from palladium(II) acetate and 2 equivalents of potassium tert-butoxide in the presence of 4-octyne. The palladium nanoparticles-tetrabutylammonium borohydride system shows excellent catalytic activity and selectivity in the semihydrogenation of alkynes to the [(Z)-]alkenes. The hydrogenation of 4-octyne is conducted with the catalyst system at a substrate-to-palladium molar ratio of 10,000-200,000 under 8 atm of hydrogen to give (Z)-4-octene in > 99% yield. Isomerization and over-reduction of the Z-alkene are very slow even after consumption of the alkyne.

    Asymmetric hydrogenation of 3-quinuclidinone with RuBr(2)[(S,S)-xylskewphos](pica) in a base containing ethanol affords (R)-3-quinuclidinol in 88-90% ee (XylSkewphos = 2,4-bis(di-3,5-xylylphosphino)pentane, PICA = alpha-picolylamine). The optical purity of the product is readily increased to >99% by recrystallization. The hydrogenation of a 4.3-kg scale with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio of 100 000 under 15 atm of H(2) at 30-45 degrees C completes in 4 h. Use of methanol or 2-propanol as a solvent decreases the catalyst efficiency. RuCl(2)(skewphos)(pica), and RuCl(2)(tolbinap)(pica) which have similar structures, are less effective for this reaction.

    Asymmetric hydrogenation of acetophenone in the presence of Ru(II) catalysts coordinated by TolBINAP and a series of chiral 1,2-diamines was studied. The sense and degree of enantioselectivity were highly dependent on the N-substituents of the diamine ligands. The N-substituent effect was discussed in detail. Among these catalysts, the (S)-TolBINAP/(R)DMAPEN-Ru(II) complex showed the highest enantioselectivity. The mode of enantioface selection was interpreted by using transition state models based on the X-ray structure of the catalyst precursor. The chiral catalyst effected the hydrogenation of alkyl aryl ketones and arylglyoxal dialkyl acetals to afford the chiral alcohol in >99% ee in the best cases. Hydrogenation of racemic benzoin methyl ether with the chiral catalyst through dynamic kinetic resolution gave the anti-alcohol (syn:anti = 3:97) in 98% ee, while the reaction of alpha-amidopropiophenones resulted in the syn-alcohols (syn:anti = 96:4 to >99:1) in >98% ee.

    Enantiomer-selective carbamoylation of racemic alpha-hydroxy gamma-lactones with half equivalents of isocyanates in the presence of chiral Cu-II catalysts was studied. Among a series of catalyst bearing chiral bis(oxazoline) (box) and pyridine(bisoxazoline) ligands, [Cu(tBu-box)]X-2 [X=OSO2CF3 (3a), SbF6 (3b)] showed the highest enantioselectivity in the reaction of pantolactone (1a). Use of n-C3H7NCO, a small alkyl isocyanate, in CH2Cl2 solution was important to achieve a high level of enantiomer selection. The tBu-box-Cu-II catalyst efficiently differentiated two enantiomers of beta-substituted alpha-hydroxy gamma-lactones under the optimized reaction conditions, resulting in a stereoselectivity factor (s = k(fast)/k(slow)) of up to 209. Furthermore, this catalyst is highly active, so that the carbamoylation can be conducted with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio of 2000-3000. A catalytic cycle of this reaction is also proposed.

Complete conversion is attainable with a low catalyst loading. The high catalyst efficiency is rationalized by a novel "metal-ligand cooperative mechanism."

    [GRAPHICS] For the synthesis of protopine alkaloids, we studied a reaction sequence based on a ring enlargement of indeno[2,1-a][3]benzazepines by a singlet oxygen oxygenation, followed by conversion of an amide carbonyl group of the resultant 10-membered keto-lactam to a methylene group, which is the last step for completion of the synthesis. The key substances, indeno[2,1-a][3]benzazepines, were prepared by Bischler-Napieralski cyclization of alkoxy-substituted 1-(2-bromobenzyl)-3-benzazepin-2-ones. Steric effects of the substituents in this synthesis were examined.

    Asymmetric hydrogenation of various alpha-chloro aromatic ketones with Ru(OTf)(TsDPEN)(eta(6)-arene) (TsDPEN = N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine) produces the chiral chlorohydrins in up to 98% ee. This reaction can be conducted even on a 206-g scale.

    Chiral arene-N-tosylethylenediamine-Ru-II complexes can be made to effect both asymmetric transfer hydrogenation and asymmetric hydrogenation of simple ketones through a slight functional modification and by switching reaction conditions. [Ru(OSO2CF3){S,S)-TsNCH(C6H5)CH(C6H5)NH2)(eta(6) -p-cymene)] catalyzes the asymmetric hydrogenation of acetophenone in methanol to afford (S)-1-phenylethanol with 96% ee in 100% yield. Like the transfer hydrogenation catalyzed by similar Ru catalysts with basic 2-propanol or a formic acid/triethylamine mixture, this hydrogenation proceeds through a metal-ligand bifunctional mechanism. The reduction of the C=O function occurs via an intermediary18e RuH species in its outer coordination sphere without metal-substrate interaction. The high catalytic efficiency relies on the facile ionization of the Ru triflate complex in methanol. The turnover rate is dependent on hydrogen pressure and medium acidity and basicity. The RuCl analogue can be used as a precatalyst, albeit less effectively. Unlike the well-known diphosphine-1,2-diamine-Ru-II-catalyzed hydrogenation that proceeds in a basic alcohol, this reaction takes place under slightly acidic conditions, creating new opportunities for asymmetric hydrogenation.

    LiCl efficiently catalyzes cyanosilylation of various hetero-substituted ketones. alpha,alpha-Dialkoxy ketones are completely converted to silylated cyanohydrins with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio of 100,000 at room temperature. Acctophenones substituted by an electron-attracting group at the ortho or para position show higher reactivity than substrates with an electron-donating function.

    The solution structures of a number of trans-RuH(eta(1)-BH4)[(S)-tolbinap](1,2-diamine) precatalysts [Tol-BINAP = 2,2'-bis(di-4-tolylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl; 1,2-diamine=(S,S)- or (RR)-1,2-diphenylethylene-diamine (DPEN), ethylenediamine (EN), and (S)-1,1-di(4-anisyl)-2-isopropylethylenediamine (DAIPEN)] have been determined using 2D NMR (H-1-H-1 DQF-COSY, H-1-C-13 HMQC, H-1-P-31 HSQC, and H-1-N-15 HSQC), and a double-pulsed field-gradient spin-echo (DPFGSE) NOE technique. All the octahedral Ru complexes adopt a trans configuration with respect to the BH4 and hydride ligands. Amine protons of trans-RuH(eta(1)-BH4)[(S)-tolbinap](1,2-diamine) complexes undergo H/D exchange in (CD3)(2)CDOD. This inherent high acidity, coupled with the lability and chemical properties of the BH4 ligand, allows for precatalyst activation without the need for an added base, in contrast to trans-RuCl2[(S)-tolbinapj(1,2diamine) precatalysts, which require a strong base for generation of a catalytic species. The H/BH4 complex in a 2-propanol solution is converted to catalytically active [trans-RuH((S)-tolbinap)((S,S)-dpen}(ROH)(+) [(RO)(ROH)(n)](-) (R = (CH3)(2)CH), a loosely associated ion pair of the discrete (solvated) cationic fragment and anionic species.

    Chiral diphosphine/1,2-diamine-Ru(II) complexes catalyse the rapid, productive and enantioselective hydrogenation of simple ketones. The carbonyl-selective hydrogenation takes place via a non-classical metal-ligand bifunctional mechanism. The reduction of the C=O function occurs in the outer coordination sphere of an 18e transRuH(2)(diphosphine)(diamine) complex without interaction between the unsaturated moiety and the metallic centre. The Ru atom donates a hydride and the NH2 ligand delivers a, proton through a pericyclic six-membered transition state, directly giving an alcoholic product without metal alkoxide formation. The enantiofaces of prochiral ketones are differentiated on the chiral molecular surface of the saturated RuH2 species. This asymmetric catalysis manifests the significance of 'kinetic' supramolecular chemistry.

    Asymmetric hydrogenation uses inexpensive, clean hydrogen gas and a very small amount of a chiral molecular catalyst, providing the most powerful way to produce a wide array of enantio-enriched compounds in a large quantity without forming any waste. The recent revolutionary advances in this field have entirely changed the synthetic approach to producing performance chemicals that require a high degree of structural precision. The means of developing efficient asymmetric hydrogenations is discussed from a mechanistic point of view.

    Asymmetric hydrogenation of acetophenone with trans-RuH(eta(1)-BH4) [(S)-tolbinap] [(S, S)-dpen] (TolBINAP = 2,2'-bis(di-4-tolylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl; DPEN = 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine) in 2-propanol gives (R)-phenylethanol in 82% ee. The reaction proceeds smoothly even at an atmospheric pressure of H-2 at room temperature and is further accelerated by addition of an alkaline base or a strong organic base. Most importantly, the hydrogenation rate is initially increased to a great extent with an increase in base molarity but subsequently decreases. Without a base, the rate is independent of H-2 pressure in the range of 1-16 atm, while in the presence of a base, the reaction is accelerated with increasing H-2 pressure. The extent of enantioselection is unaffected by hydrogen pressure, the presence or absence of base, the kind of base and coexisting metallic or organic cations, the nature of the solvent, or the substrate concentrations. The reaction with H-2/(CH3)(2)CHOH proceeds 50 times faster than that with D-2/(CD3)(2)CDOD in the absence of base, but the rate differs only by a factor of 2 in the presence of KO-t-C4H9. These findings indicate that dual mechanisms are in operation, both of which are dependent on reaction conditions and involve heterolytic cleavage of H-2 to form a common reactive intermediate. The key [RuH(diphosphine)(diamine)] and its solvate complex have been detected by ESI-TOFMS and NMR spectroscopy. The hydrogenation of ketones is proposed to occur via a nonclassical metal-ligand bifunctional mechanism involving a chiral RuH2(diphosphine)(diamine), where a hydride on Ru and a proton of the NH2 ligand are simultaneously transferred to the C=O function via a six-membered pericyclic transition state. The NH2 unit in the diamine ligand plays a pivotal role in the catalysis. The reaction occurs in the outer coordination sphere of the 18e RuH2 complex without C=O/metal interaction. The enantiofaces of prochiral aromatic ketones are kinetically differentiated on the molecular surface of the coordinatively saturated chiral RuH2 intermediate rather than in a coordinatively unsaturated Ru template.

    RuCl2(phosphine)(2)(1,2-diamine) complexes, coupled with an alkaline base in 2-propanol, allows for preferential hydrogenation of a C=O function over coexisting conjugated or nonconjugated C=C linkages, a nitro group, halogen atoms, and various heterocycles. The functional group selectivity is based on the novel metal-ligand bifunctional mechanism. The use of appropriate chiral diphosphines and diamines results in rapid and productive asymmetric hydrogenation of a range of aromatic, hetero-aromatic, and olefinic ketones. The versatility of this method is manifested by the asymmetric synthesis of various biologically significant chiral compounds.

    [GRAPHICS] trans-RuCL2[(R)-xylbinap][(R)-daipen] or the S,S complex acts as an efficient catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation of hetero-aromatic ketones. The hydrogenation proceeds with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio of 1000-40000 to give chiral alcohols in high ee and high yield. The enantioselectivity appears to be little affected by the properties of the hetero-aromatic ring. This method allows for asymmetric synthesis of duloxetine, an inhibitor of serotonin and norepinephrine uptake carriers.

    Hydrogenation of ketones is amongst one of the most important synthetic reactions. This transformation is not only of academic interest, but also of industrial significance because of its simplicity, environmentally friendliness, and economic viability. trans-RuCl2 (phosphine)(2)(1,2-diamine), when coupled with a strong base in 2-propanol, acts as the most reactive catalyst for homogeneous hydrogenation of ketones. This reaction, unlike conventional hydrogenation, proceeds selectively at a C=O bond leaving coexisting C=C linkages intact. Furthermore, rapid, highly productive asymmetric hydrogenation of simple ketones has been realized by using trans-RuCl2[(S)-tolbinap] [(S, S)-dpen] or its optical antipode. When acetophenone is hydrogenated with the complex, the turnover number reaches 2,400,000 and the turnover frequency as high as 228,000 h(-1) or 63 s(-1). When XylBINAP is used as a chiral phosphine, a wide variety of prochiral ketones are hydrogenated in up to 100% ee. This practical asymmetric hydrogenation will greatly facilitate the synthesis of biologically active compounds and functional materials.

    RuCl2(phosphine)(2)(1,2-diamine) complexes act as excellent precatalysts for homogeneous hydrogenation of simple ketones which lack any functionality capable of interacting with the metallic center. This newly devised catalytic system allows preferential saturation of a C=O function over a coexisting C=C linkage in 2-propanol containing an alkaline base. Furthermore, the stereoselectivity of the reaction is easily controlled by the electronic and steric properties (bulkiness and chirality) of the ligands as well as the reaction conditions.

    Enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones to optically active secondary alcohols is an important, fundamental subject in synthetic organic chemistry, because the resulting chiral alcohols are versatile building blocks for synthesis of natural or unnatural biological active compounds as well as functional materials. Asymmetric hydrogenation is particularly useful for a large-scale reduction because of the operational simplicity, economical advantage, and environmental consciousness. Enantioselective hydrogenation of simple ketones which have no heteroatoms near carbonyl groups has remained difficult. This review describes the recent development in this area. Certain chiral Ru(II) complexes exhibit an excellent catalytic activity and enantiodifferentiation ability in asymmetric hydrogenation of simple ketones in homogeneous phase.

    Commercially available lithium hydride, an essentially inert metal hydride, can be activated as a hydride source by an equimolar amount of chlorotrimethylsilane and a catalytic amount of a Zn salt or Zn powder. Aromatic and aliphatic ketones, as well as nonenolizable aldehydes, are reductively converted to the trimethylsilyl ethers of the corresponding alcohols in high yields by treatment with this reagent system in dichloromethane or toluene at 28 to 40 degrees C for 25-50 h. This procedure has many advantages including the safety and low cost of the reagents and operational simplicity and provides a practical method for carbonyl reduction. X-ray induced Auger electron spectroscopy analysis suggests that a Zn(II)I species is the catalyst of the heterogeneous reaction.

    Under the influence of the (R)- or (S)-BINAP-based Ru(II) complexes (BINAP =2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl), a wide range of functionalized ketones are hydrogenated in a highly enantioselective and predictable manner. The hydrogenation proceeds smoothly in alcoholic media at room temperature with initial hydrogen pressure of 40-100 atm. The substrate to catalyst mole ratio ranges from 230 to 2200. Ru complexes of the type RuX_2(binap) (X = halogen, empirical formula), Ru_2Cl_4(binap)_2N(C_2H_5)_3, or Ru(OCOR)_2(binap) are employable as catalysts, depending on the substrates. Va...

    Chiral Ru-Li combined systems developed by our research group efficiently catalyzed 1) hydrocyanation of aldehydes and N-protected aldimines, 2) cyanosilylation of simple and α-alkoxy ketones, and 3) conjugate hydrocyanation of α,β-unsaturated ketones and N-acylpyrroles. The substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio of 10,000 and enantioselectivity of 99% were achieved in the best cases. The novel chiral Ru complexes achieved 1) very rapid and highly enantioselective hydrogenation of ketones, 2) asymmetric hydrogenation of N-arylimines, quinoxalines, and benzoxazines. The rate (turnover frequency) of the hydrogenation of ketones reached about 35,000 per minute with grater than 99% enantioselectivity. The turnover number of 18,000 and enantioselectivity of 99% in the reaction of N-arylimines were obtained in the best cases.

    A series of ruthenium complexes with both chiral diphosphine and diamine ligands was designed and applied to asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones. The obtained results are described below1) Chiral 1,4-diamine IPHAN was prepared from mannitol. The TolBINAP/IPHAN-Ru complex effectively catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of 1-tetralones and their analogues in a base containing 2-propanol. The reaction was completed with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio (S/C) as high as 55,000 to afford the chiral alcohols in up to 99% enantiomeric excess (ee). Substituted 2-cyclohexenones were also converted...

    (1) Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Ketones: Chiral RuC1_2(binap)(1, 2-diamine) complexes allow rapid, enantioselective hydrogenation of various simple, unfunctionalized ketones with a high substrate/catalyst molar ratio up to 2, 400, 000. As high practicality of this procedure became recognized, we have been encouraged to develop a robust (pre)catalyst that promotes the enantioselective reaction under base-free conditions. During the course of this program, we established that RuH(η^1-BH_4)(binap)(1, 2-diamine) complexes allow for asymmetric hydrogenation of simple ketones in 2-propanol withou...

    Chiral diphosphine/1,2-diamine Ru(II) complexes catalyze the rapid, productive, and enantioselective hydrogenation of simple ketones. The reaction proceeds smoothly even at an atmospheric pressure of H_2 at room temperature and is further accelerated by addition of an alkaline base or a strong organic base. Most importantly, the hydrogenation rate is initially increased to a great extent with an increase in base molarity, but subsequently decreases. Without a base, the rate is independent on H_2 pressure in the range of 1-16 atm, while in the presence of a base, the reaction is accelerated ...

    Homogeneous asymmetric catalysis provides a fundamental tool for the preparation of chiral building blocks for biologically important substances and advanced materials. Polymer-bound catalysts have inherent operational and economical advantages : immobilization on solid matrices facilitates the separation from reaction mixtures, recovery, and reuse of the expensive chiral compounds. Further, the solid-phase reaction offers a technical basis for diversity-oriented combinatorial synthesis. Numerous resin-supported (pre)catalysts have been developed along this line, though their practical appl...

    本研究者の開拓した光学活性ジホスフィンとジアミンを配位子とするルテニウムジクロロ錯体は、アルカリ塩基の存在下、種々の芳香族およびα,β-不飽和ケトン類、アミノケトン類等の水素化に対して極めて高い触媒活性とエナンチオ選択性を示す。この塩化物錯体は、大気中でも安定なため操作性に優れているが、活性種を発生させるために強塩基の添加が不可欠である。したがって、塩基性条件下で不安定なケトン類の水素化には適用が困難であった。本研究では、塩基を添加せずに活性種を発生する触媒前駆体の探索研究を行った。塩化物錯体trans-RuCl_2[(S)-xylbinap][(S,S)-dpen](XylBINAP=2,2'-ビス(ジ-3,5-キシリルホスフィノ)-1,1'-ビナフチル、DPEN=1,2-ジフェニルエチレンジアミン)に水素化ホウ素ナトリウムを作用させることにより、ヒドリド錯体trans-RuH(η^1-BH_4)[(S)-xylbinap][(S,S)-dpen]を得た。この錯体は、塩基無添加条件でケトン類の水素化に対して極めて高い触媒活性とエナンチオ選択性を示した。例えば、アセトフェノンを10万分の1当量の錯体を用い、水素8気圧で水素化すると、反応は7時間で完結し、(R)-1-フェニルエタノールが99%の鏡像体過剰率で得られた。次に、塩基性条件下で容易に異性化するラセミ体α位置換シクロヘ...

    The development of practical methods effecting stereoselective hydrogenation of simple ketones is highly desirable, since the existing homogeneous catalysts lack reactivity and/or stereoselectivity. A new Ru (II) complex, trans-RuCl_2 [(S)-xylbinap][(S)-daipen] or the R, R enantiomer acts as an excellent precatalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation of simple ketones (XylBINAP=2, 2'-bis (di-3, 5-xylylphosphino)-1, 1'-binaphthyl. DAIPEN=1, 1-dianisyl-2-isopropyl-1, 2-ethylenediamine). The reaction is conducted with a substrate/catalyst molar ratio of up to 100000 in 2-propanol containing alkaline...
