Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:5570. [PMID: 38791607 PMCID: PMC11121891 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25105570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
This work investigated the cocatalytic activity of recently prepared guanidinium salts containing an oxanorbornane subunit in an (S)-proline-catalyzed aldol reaction. The activity was interpreted by the diastereoselectivity of the reaction (anti/syn ratio) and for the most interesting polycyclic guanidinium salt, the enantioselectivity of the reaction was determined. The results indicated a negative impact on the oxanorbornane unit if present as the flexible substituent. For most of the tested aldehydes, the best cocatalysts provided enantioselectivities above 90% and above 95% at room temperature and 0 °C, respectively, culminating in >99.5% for 4-chloro- and 2-nitrobenzaldehyde as the substrate. The barriers for forming four possible enantiomers were calculated and the results for two anti-enantiomers are qualitatively consistent with the experiment. Obtained results suggest that the representatives of furfurylguanidinium and rigid polycyclic oxanorbornane-substituted guanidinium salts are good lead structures for developing new cocatalysts by tuning the chemical space around the guanidine moiety.

Abstract
Herein we describe a self-acid-enabled chemo-, regio-, and stereospecific cis-hydrophenoxylation of ynamides under reagent-free conditions. The presence of a non-polar solvent such as toluene was found to be beneficial to facilitate the rate-limiting proton transfer between phenols and ynamides to form an intimate ion pair, which is followed by a swift nucleophilic attack of the phenolate oxygen on keteniminium, fulfilling the overall hydrofunctionalization event. This protocol is operationally simple and easily scalable, tolerates a wide variety of functional groups, and shows good compatibility with the requirements of modern green chemistry.

Abstract
The critical influence of solvent effects on proline-catalyzed aldol reactions has been extensively described. Herein, we apply multivariate regression strategies to probe the influence of different solvents on an aldol reaction catalyzed by proline modified at its secondary sphere with boronic acids. In this system, both in situ binding of the boronic acid to proline and the outcome of the aldol reaction are impacted by the solvent-controlled microenvironment. Thus, with the aim of uncovering mechanistic insight and an ancillary aim of identifying methodological improvements, we designed a set of experiments, spanning 15 boronic acids in five different solvents. Based on hypothesized intermediates or interactions that could be responsible for the selectivity in these reactions, we proposed several structural configurations for the library of boronic acids. Subsequently, we compared the statistical models correlating the outcome of the reaction in different solvents with molecular descriptors produced for each of these proposed configurations. The models allude to the importance of different interactions in controlling selectivity in each of the studied solvents. As a proof-of-concept for the practicality of our approach, the models in chloroform ultimately led to lowering the ketone loading to only two equivalents while retaining excellent yield and enantio- and diastereo-selectivity.

Abstract
(Thio)urea cocatalyst accelerates O-monoacyltartaric acid (MAT)-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate addition of boronic acid to unsaturated ketone. Kinetic studies of this reaction revealed first-order dependence of each substrate and catalyst and second-order dependence of (thio)urea, leading to reduction of the catalyst loading and development of more active and enantioselective MAT monoaryl ester catalyst.

Comparison of Cinchona Catalysts Containing Ethyl or Vinyl or Ethynyl Group at Their Quinuclidine Ring. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2019; 12:E3034. [PMID: 31540532 PMCID: PMC6766286 DOI: 10.3390/ma12183034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/1970] [Revised: 09/11/2019] [Accepted: 09/12/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Numerous cinchona organocatalysts with different substituents at their quinuclidine unit have been described and tested, but the effect of those saturation has not been examined before. This work presents the synthesis of four widely used cinchona-based organocatalyst classes (hydroxy, amino, squaramide, and thiourea) with different saturation on the quinuclidine unit (ethyl, vinyl, ethynyl) started from quinine, the most easily available cinchona derivative. Big differences were found in basicity of the quinuclidine unit by measuring the pKa values of twelve catalysts in six solvents. The effect of differences was examined by testing the catalysts in Michael addition reaction of pentane-2,4-dione to trans-β-nitrostyrene. The 1.6-1.7 pKa deviation in basicity of the quinuclidine unit did not result in significant differences in yields and enantiomeric excesses. Quantum chemical calculations confirmed that the ethyl, ethynyl, and vinyl substituents affect the acid-base properties of the cinchona-thiourea catalysts only slightly, and the most active neutral thione forms are the most stable tautomers in all cases. Due to the fact that cinchonas with differently saturated quinuclidine substituents have similar catalytic activity in asymmetric Michael addition application of quinine-based catalysts is recommended. Its vinyl group allows further modifications, for instance, recycling the catalyst by immobilization.

Abstract
A urea tag was incorporated at the C-4 position of proline, cis to its COOH group, in order to explore the prospect of a synergistic effect between the two functional groups in the transition state of the enamine route to the asymmetric aldol reaction. The catalyst proved to be an excellent performer, delivering aldols in high yields and with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities using just 2 mol % loading in the presence of water; it also exhibited good levels of recyclability under aqueous conditions. The favorable results reveal the interesting possibility of an intramolecular host-guest interaction between the urea and the amino acid moieties, exerting a beneficial effect on catalysis. The concept could certainly offer a new direction toward more efficient catalyst design.

Abstract
Reductive condensations of alcohols with aldehydes/ketones to generate ethers are catalyzed by a readily accessible thiourea organocatalyst that operates in combination with HCl. 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane serves as a convenient reducing reagent. This strategy is applicable to challenging substrate combinations and exhibits functional group tolerance. Competing reductive homocoupling of the carbonyl component is suppressed.

This work established an energetic guide for estimating the trifluoromethyl cation-donating abilities (TC(+)DA) of electrophilic trifluoromethylating reagents through computing X-CF3 bond (X = O, S, Se, Te, and I) heterolytic dissociation enthalpies. TC(+)DA values for a wide range of popular reagents were derived on the basis of density functional calculations (M06-2X). A good correspondence has been identified between the computed TC(+)DA values and the experimentally observed relative trifluoromethylating capabilities of the reagents. Substituent effects hold good linear free energy relationships on the TC(+)DAs of the most widely used reagents including Umemoto reagent, Yagupolskii-Umemoto reagent, and Togni reagents, which allow their trifluoromethylating capabilities to be rationally tuned by substituents and thus extend their synthetic utility. All the information disclosed in this work would contribute to future rational exploration of the electrophilic trifluoromethylation chemistry.

Abstract
The non-covalent interactions of S-(-)-proline with the surfaces of carbon nanostructures (fullerene, nanotubes and graphite) change the nucleophilic-electrophilic and acid-base properties of the amino acid, thus tuning its activity and selectivity in the organocatalytic Hajos-Parrish-Eder-Sauer-Wiechert (HPESW) reaction. Whilst our spectroscopy and microscopy measurements show no permanent covalent bonding between S-(-)-proline and carbon nanostructures, a systematic investigation of the catalytic activity and selectivity of the organocatalyst in the HPESW reaction demonstrates a clear correlation between the pyramidalisation angle of carbon nanostructures and the catalytic properties of S-(-)-proline. Carbon nanostructures with larger pyramidalisation angles have a stronger interaction with the nitrogen atom lone pair of electrons of the organocatalyst, thereby simultaneously decreasing the nucleophilicity and increasing the acidity of the organocatalyst. These translate into lower conversion rates but higher selectivities towards the dehydrated product of Aldol addition.

Abstract
The synthesis of α-aryl peroxyesters, an unprecedented class of organic peroxide, via hydrogen-bond donor catalyzed O-H insertions of hydroperoxides and α-aryl diazoesters is reported. The method is applicable to a diverse set of substrates and the corresponding α-peroxyesters are typically isolated in high yield. Both thermogravimetric analysis and reactions with traditional peroxide reducing agents demonstrate the stability of α-peroxyesters.
