Phosphines chiral peptidic

Hoveyda and co-workers presented the asymmetric addition of alkylzincs to small-, medium-, and large-ring nitroolefins with chiral peptide-based phosphines 57 as catalyst.87 The enantioselectivities were typically >90%. Ligand 57 also worked well in the asymmetric addition of dialkylzinc to acyclic disubstituted nitroalkenes (up to 95% ee Scheme 26).88...

The development of chiral peptide-based metal catalysts has also been studied. The group of Gilbertson has synthesized several phosphine-modified amino adds and incorporated two of them into short peptide sequences.[45J,71 They demonstrated the formation of several metal complexes, in particular Rh complexes, and reported their structure as well as their ability to catalyze enantioselectively certain hydrogenation reactions.[481 While the enantioselectivities observed are modest so far, optimization through combinatorial synthesis will probably lead to useful catalysts. The synthesis of the sulfide protected form of both Fmoc- and Boc-dicyclohexylphosphinoserine 49 and -diphenylphosphinoserine 50 has been reported, in addition to diphenylphosphino-L-proline 51 (Scheme 14).[49 To show their compatibility with solid-phase peptide synthesis, they were incorporated into hydrophobic peptides, such as dodecapeptide 53, using the standard Fmoc protocol (Scheme 15).[451 For better results, the phosphine-modified amino acid 50 was coupled as a Fmoc-protected dipeptide 56, rather than the usual Fmoc derivative 52.[471 As an illustrative example, the synthesis of diphe-nylphosphinoserine 52 is depicted in Scheme 16J45 ... 

Selectivity in enantiotopos-differentiating acylation and phosphorylation of meso-diols can rival that of enzymes. The organocatalysts employed include chiral phosphines, chiral diamines, chiral DMAP derivatives and peptides identified from combinatorial libraries. The highest selectivity in meso diol desymmetrization has been achieved with a planar-chiral Fu catalyst. It seems the substrate scope of this process is not yet broadly explored. Because of their sequential variability it is to be... 

Functionally active preformed primary phosphines (e.g.,H2N(CH2)3PH2 3 or Br(CH2)3PH2 17) will provide important building blocks to functionaUze sim-ple/complex molecules with primary phosphine functionaUties. The user friendl/ nature of the air stable primary bisphosphines (e.g., 1,10,16,18-20) will open up new realms of exploratory research that utilize primary phosphines. It is also conceivable that the high oxidative stability and the ease with which primary phosphines can be incorporated on chiral backbones or peptides provide new opportunities for their appHcations in catalysis and biomedicine. 

Simple acyclic a,/ -unsaturated esters are not reactive in the conjugate addition of dialkylzincs. In contrast, nitro-substituted unsaturated esters68 and malonates69 are applicable for this reaction. Using peptide-based chiral phosphine 66, Hird and Hoveyda realized the Cu-catalyzed conjugate addition of Et2Zn to iV-acyloxazolidinones with excellent enantioselectivity (Scheme 21).70...

The organic acylation catalysts currently known are tertiary amines, N-heteroar-omatic compounds (for example pyridine derivatives), or phosphines they can be of central, planar, and axial chirality. Finally, small peptides carrying N-methylhis-tidine as the catalytically active subunit have also been employed they also will be discussed in this chapter. 

Enantioselective silver-catalyzed aza-Diels-Alder reactions have also been described. Whereas the use of BINAP as the chiral ligand gave only unsatisfactory enantioselectivities,367,367a Hoveyda etal 6 used the peptidic phosphine 373 which has already been used for silver-catalyzed asymmetric Mannich reactions (see Scheme 108) in the efficient Ag(i)-catalyzed cycloaddition of arylimines 449 with Danishefsky s diene (Scheme 135). After acidic work-up, the chiral pyridones 450 were obtained with excellent yields and enantioselectivities. The presence of isopropanol as a proton source is essential for obtaining high conversions and stereoselectivities. Similar to the Mannich reactions, the cycloaddition is not affected by the presence of air or the use of undistilled THF. 

Many communications have concentrated on specific amino phosphonic acids or derivative types. Thus, esters of phosphonoaminoacetic add were obtained by the reactions between trialkyl (ethyl) phosphite and (218) and which are thought to proceed via the phosphorane (219). A sequence has been presented for the preparation of the mono- and di-benzyl esters of N-chz protected (a-aminoben-zyl)phosphonic acid. A synthesis of (aminomethylene)bisphosphonic acid from dibenzylamine, dibenzyl hydrogenphosphonate and triethyl orthoformate has been noted and the asymmetric hydrogenation of (220) in the presence of chiral phosphine catalysts yields samples of (221) with e.e.s of 63-96%. The pyrrolidine-based compound (222) has been prepared from methyl S)-N-methoxycarbonyl-4-oxo-2-pyrrolidinecarboxylate and iV-coupled 4-amino-butanal diethyl acetals were the starting materials in syntheses of the pyrrolidine-2-phosphonic add derivatives (223) in which Z represents the iV-protected amino add or peptide moiety. ... 

Related chiral phosphine peptide ligands have been successfully utilized for ACA to acyclic aryl and aliphatic enones (eq 104), trisubstituted cyclic enones (eq 105), cyclic nitroaUcenes (from which a-substituted ketones can be prepared via a Nef reaction) (eq 106), and unsaturated A-acyloxazolidinones (eq 107). The...
