Dynamic asymmetric kinetic

The Gabriel synthesis represents another indirect but highly valuable approach to amines. Trost has demonstrated a method for the asymmetric ring-opening of butadiene monoepoxide by use of one equivalent of phthalimide, 7t-allylpalladium chloride dimer, and the chiral bisphosphine 22 (Scheme 7.37). The dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation proceeded through a putative achiral intermedi-... 

A classical approach to driving the unfavorable equilibrium of an enzymatic process is to couple it to another, irreversible enzymatic process. Griengl and coworkers have applied this concept to asymmetric synthesis of 1,2-amino alcohols with a threonine aldolase [24] (Figure 6.7). While the equilibrium in threonine aldolase reactions typically does not favor the synthetic direction, and the bond formation leads to nearly equal amounts of two diastereomers, coupling the aldolase reaction with a selective tyrosine decarboxylase leads to irreversible formation of aryl amino alcohols in reasonable enantiomeric excess via a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation. A one-pot, two-enzyme asymmetric synthesis of amino alcohols, including noradrenaline and octopamine, from readily available starting materials was developed [25].

Silylated amino acid esters have been prepared by a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation of this type. Slow addition (by syringe pump) of (R,R) DPEC maintained insertion slow relative to interconversion and afforded the silyl-substituted amino acid esters in Eq. 36 with ee values of 80, 68, and 83%. The ester 38c (R=TMS) was too base-sensitive to permit removal of the chiral diol, but transesterification of the other /J-hydroxyethyl esters 38 to the corresponding methyl esters was straightforward [22]. 

It would be preferable to carry out a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation on a zirconaaziridine without having to add the inserting reagent slowly. The fact that the enantiomers of 2i interconvert rapidly makes it possible to carry out such a transformation at maximum de (64% with R,R-DPEC) without having to use a syringe pump for addition of the optically active carbonate. 

Zirconaaziridines, which can be prepared in a few steps from commercially available starting materials, have polar Zr-C bonds that permit the insertion of many electrophilic reagents (C=0, C=N) as well as alkynes (C=C) and alkenes (C=C). Appropriate substituents on their ring carbons make zirconaaziridines chiral and raise the possibility of their use in asymmetric synthesis. The lability of their chiral centers distinguishes zirconaaziridines from other organo-metallic reagents and makes it possible for them to undergo dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformations . 

A dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) of racemic vinyl aziridine 347 yielded the enantiopure imidazolidinone 348 (Scheme 90) <20050L823>. This transformation was the initial step in a total synthesis of (+)-pseudodistomin D. 

Later work has shown that a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation could be obtained if the acetates were converted into carbonate groups. With the tetra(2,2,2-trichloroethyl) carbonate derivative, reactions with carbon and nitrogen nucleophiles gave exclusively the monosubstituted products in high yield (61-95%) and excellent enantiomeric excesses (95-99%). However, car-boxylate nucleophiles afforded the disubstituted products in high yield and enantiomeric excess (eq 7). This allowed an efficient synthesis of D-myo-inositol-l,4,5-trisphosphate to be devised. 

This methodology has been expanded to geranyl methyl carbonate for the synthesis of the vitamin E nucleus, and to tiglyl methyl carbonate for the synthesis of (—)-calanolide A and B. In the latter example, the anthracenyldiamine -based ligand was required for optimum selectivity. The synthesis of (—)-aflatoxin B lactone utilizes a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation, whereby a suitably functionalized phenol reacts with a racemic 5-acyloxy-2-(5//)-furanone to provide a single product in 89% yield. One final example of phenol as a nucleophile is for the deracemization of Baylis-Hillman adducts." ... 

Notable were highly enantioselective additions of N-phosphonyl imines with dialkyl zinc or hydroxyketones and a one-pot reaction of alkynylzirconocenes with alkynyl phosphazenes and zinc carbenoids to give single isomer cyclopropylphosphonamides. The importance of enantioselective and dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformations is illustrated in many publications. Other interesting reports cover the use of phosphoramidates for the synthesis of allylic amines as well as the first example of C-P cleavage of a-aminophosphono acids using periodate. 

The current review is of necessity selective. Over the two year period covered, there has been impressive advances in several areas of P(V) chemistry. For example, biological aspects of quinquevalent phosphorus acids chemistry continue to increase in importance. A wide variety of natural and unnatural phosphates including inositols, lipids, some carbohydrates and their phospho-nates, phosphinates and fluorinated analogues has been synthesized. Special attention has been paid to the synthesis of phosphorus analogues of all types of amino acids and some peptides. Numerous investigations of phosphate ester hydrolysis and related reactions continue to be reported. Interest in approaches to easier detoxification of insecticides continues. A number of new and improved stereoselective synthetic procedures have been elaborated. The importance of enantioselective and dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformations is illustrated in many publications.

Ins(l,4,5)P3.

However, the enantioselective palladium-catalysed allyl alkylation and similar reactions of (38) are complex due to C2 symmetry.

One good example of the application of this technology is in the AAA reaction of a racemic vinyl epoxide. The epoxide undergoes a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) by reaction with p-methoxybenzyl alcohol, the standard ligand, and a palladium source. The product is obtained in 69% yield and 98% e.e. After further manipulations a key building block for the nonpeptidic protease inhibitor tipranavir was produced. Coupling of this intermediate with a synthon obtained using a molybdenum-catalyzed DYKAT process led to an advanced intermediate in a total synthesis of tipranavir (Scheme 20.14). ...

One of the routes leading to P-stereogenic phosphines is electrophilic substim-tion at the phosphorus atom of secondary phosphines, as a result of asymmetric catalysis in which a catalyst activates a phosphorus nucleophile or a carbon electrophile, creating an asymmetric environment, i.e., creating preference for one of Si or Re face sides at the reactive center [103-113]. Upon reaction with chiral metal complexes, racemic secondary phosphines are converted into diaste-reomeric metal-phosphide complexes A or B, which interconvert rapidly through the inversion at phosphorus. If the equilibrium A B is faster than the reaction of A or B with an electrophile E, then P-stereogenic phosphines 196, in which pyramidal inversion is slow, can be formed enantioselectively. The product ratio in this dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation depends both on and on the rate constants ks and (Scheme 63).
