Abstract
Enantiomerically enriched five- and six-membered benzo oxygen heterocycles are privileged architectures in functional organic molecules. Over the last several years, many effective methods have been established to access these compounds. However, comprehensive documents cover updated methodologies still in highly demand. In this review, recent transition metal catalyzed transformations lead to chiral five- and six-membered benzo oxygen heterocycles are presented. The mechanism and chirality transfer or control processes are also discussed in details.

Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27165113. [PMID: 36014353 PMCID: PMC9413694 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27165113] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
A novel α-tetrazole-substituted 1,1′-binaphthylazepine chiral catalyst has been synthesized and its absolute configuration has been determined by DFT computational analysis of the vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectrum of its precursor. The VCD analysis, carried out through the model averaging method, allowed to assign the absolute configuration of a benzylic stereocenter in the presence of a chiral binaphthyl moiety. The 1,1′-binaphthylazepine tetrazole and the nitrile its immediate synthetic precursor, have been preliminarily tested as chiral organocatalysts in the asymmetric intramolecular oxa-Michael cyclization of 2-hydroxy chalcones for the synthesis of chiral flavanones obtaining low enantioselectivity.

Abstract
To access flavanones bearing two contiguous stereogenic centers, a metal-free asymmetric hydrogenation of racemic 3-alkylidene flavanones has been developed by relay catalysis with achiral FLPs and chiral phosphoric acids, which represents a successful detour for the challenging hydrogenation of 3-substituted flavones. A wide range of trans- and cis-flavanones were obtained in high yields and ≤97% ee.
