Abstract
Chiral 1,2,3-triazoles are highly attractive motifs in various fields. However, achieving catalytic asymmetric click reactions of azides and alkynes for chiral triazole synthesis remains a significant challenge, mainly due to the limited catalytic systems and substrate scope. Herein, we report an enantioselective azidation/click cascade reaction of N-propargyl-β-ketoamides with a readily available and potent azido transfer reagent via copper catalysis, which affords a variety of chiral 1,2,3-triazoles with up to 99% yield and 95% ee under mild conditions. Notably, chiral 1,5-disubstituted triazoles that have not been accessed by previous asymmetric click reactions are also prepared with good functional group tolerance.

Synthesis of chiral Cu(II) complexes from pro-chiral Schiff base ligand and investigation of their catalytic activity in the asymmetric synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles. Sci Rep 2024; 14:10603. [PMID: 38719987 PMCID: PMC11079015 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-60930-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
A pro-chiral Schiff base ligand (HL) was synthesized by the reaction of 2-amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol and pyridine-2-carbaldehyde in methanol. The reaction of HL with CuCl2·2H2O and CuBr2 in methanol gave neutral mononuclear Cu(II) complexes with general formula of [Cu(HL)Cl2] (1) and [Cu(HL)Br2] (2), respectively. By slow evaporation of the methanolic solutions of 1 and 2, their enantiomers were isolated in crystalline format. The formation of pure chiral crystals in the racemic mixture was amply authenticated by single crystal X-ray analysis, which indicated that S-[Cu(HL)Cl2], R-[Cu(HL)Cl2], and S-[Cu(HL)Br2] are crystallized in chiral P212121 space group of orthorhombic system. Preferential crystallization was used to isolate the R and S enantiomers as single crystals and the isolated compounds were also studied by CD analysis. Structural studies indicated that the origin of the chirality in these compounds is related to the coordination mode of the employed pro-chiral ligand (HL) because one of its carbon atoms has been converted to a chiral center in the synthesized complexes. Subsequently, these complexes were used in click synthesis of a β-hydroxy-1,2,3-triazole and the results of catalytic studies indicated that 1 and 2 can act as enantioselective catalysts for the asymmetric synthesis of β-hydroxy-1,2,3-triazole product under mild condition. This study illustrates the significant capacity of the use of pro-chiral ligands in preparing chiral catalysts based on complexes which can also be considered as an effective approach to cheap chiral catalysts from achiral reagents.

Abstract
Significant advances have been achieved for the construction of chiral skeletons containing 1,2,3-triazoles via transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric azide-alkyne cycloaddition; however, most of them have been limited to terminal alkynes in the synthesis of central chirality via desymmetrization and dynamic/dynamic kinetic resolution. Enantioselective transition-metal-catalyzed azide-internal-alkyne cycloaddition is extremely limited. Moreover, the construction of a challenging five-membered (hetero)biaryl axially chiral molecule via transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric azide-internal-alkyne cycloaddition is still underexplored. Herein, we first report an atroposelective and atom-economical synthesis of axially chiral 1,4,5-trisubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles, directly acting as core chiral units of challenging five-membered atropisomers, via the enantioselective Rh-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (E-RhAAC) of internal alkynes and azides. The reaction demonstrates excellent functional group tolerance, forging a variety of C-C axially chiral 1,2,3-triazoles under mild conditions with moderate to excellent yields (up to 99% yield) and generally high to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) along with specific regiocontrol. The origin of regio- and enantioselectivity control is disclosed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, providing new guidance for the facile construction of axially chiral compounds.

Abstract
Despite the increasing demand for enantiopure drugs in the pharmaceutical industry, currently available chiral separation technologies are still lagging behind, whether due to throughput or to operability considerations. This paper presents a new kinetic resolution method, based on the specific adsorption of a target enantiomer onto a molecularly imprinted surface of a photocatalyst and its subsequent degradation through a photocatalytic mechanism. The current model system is composed of an active TiO2 layer, on which the target enantiomer is adsorbed. A photocatalytic suppression layer of Al2O3 is then grown around the adsorbed target molecules by atomic layer deposition. Following the removal of the templating molecules, molecularly imprinted cavities that correspond to the adsorbed species are formed. The stereospecific nature of these pores encourages enantioselective degradation of the undesired species through its enhanced adsorption on the photocatalyst surface, while dampening nonselective photocatalytic activity around the imprinted sites. The method, demonstrated with the dipeptide leucylglycine as a model system, revealed a selectivity factor of up to 7 and an enrichment of a single enantiomer to 85% from an initially racemic mixture. The wide range of parameters that can be optimized (photocatalyst, concentration of imprinted sites, type of passivating layer, etc.) points to the great potential of this method for obtaining enantiomerically pure compounds, beginning from racemic mixtures.

Abstract
The triazole heterocycle has been widely adopted as an isostere for the amide bond. Many native amides are α-chiral, being derived from amino acids. This makes α-N-chiral triazoles attractive building blocks. This report describes the first enantioselective triazole synthesis that proceeds via nickel-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (NiAAC). This dynamic kinetic resolution is enabled by a spontaneous [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the allylic azide. The 1,4,5-trisubstituted triazole products, derived from internal alkynes, are complementary to those commonly obtained by the related CuAAC reaction. Initial mechanistic experiments indicate that the NiAAC reaction proceeds through a monometallic Ni complex, which is distinct from the CuAAC manifold.

Abstract
Twelve 1,5-disubtituted and fourteen 5-substituted 1,2,3-triazole derivatives bearing diaryl or dialkyl phosphines at the 5-position were synthesized and used as ligands for palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. Bulky substrates were tested, and lead-like product formation was demonstrated. The online tool SambVca2.0 was used to assess steric parameters of ligands and preliminary buried volume determination using XRD-obtained data in a small number of cases proved to be informative. Two modeling approaches were compared for the determination of the buried volume of ligands where XRD data was not available. An approach with imposed steric restrictions was found to be superior in leading to buried volume determinations that closely correlate with observed reaction conversions. The online tool LLAMA was used to determine lead-likeness of potential Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling products, from which 10 of the most lead-like were successfully synthesized. Thus, confirming these readily accessible triazole-containing phosphines as highly suitable ligands for reaction screening and optimization in drug discovery campaigns.
