Structure of substrate

There are many classes of substrate structures involved in heterogeneous enantioselective hydrogenation on modified metal catalysts. They consist of 2-oxocarboxylic acids and their esters, ketones, diketones, keto lactones, imsaturated acids, oximes, and amides. Enantioselectivities of heterogeneous chirally modified metal catalysts are determined in an important way by the matched interactions between die functional groups of the substrate and the modifier. 

For example, the Pt-alumina-alkaloid catalytic systems proved to be the best for enantioselective hydrogenations of 2-oxocarboxylic acids and their esters, especially the pyruvates (Blaser Baiker ), and the formates (Orito et al. ), originally studied in the Orito Reaction (see Bartok et 

Hydrogenation of diketones and ketones proved to be not very effective (Vermeer et al. ) hydrogenations of the diketones, butane-2,3-dione andhex-ane-3,4-dione, on 6.5% Pt-silica-Cnd at 10 bar and 20 C in CH2CI2 solution produce ee s of only 33% and 38%, respectively, although trifluoroaceto-phenone gave 56% (Bodmer et al. Likewise, Torey et al. found that hydrogenation of the C=C side chain in an unsaturated cyclic ketone over Pd-charcoal catalyst modified with (-)-ephedrine at 0°C in MeCN resulted in a product with an ee of only 36%. 

Von Arx et al. studied the hydrogenation of 4-oxoisophorone (2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-l,4-dione) over Pt-alumina and Pd-alumina catalysts modified with Cnd and discovered (over Pt-alumina-Cnd) the first example of an unprecedented selectivity in hydrogenation of a sterically bin- 

Pyrone derivatives, 3,6-dimethyl-4-hydro5g -2-pyrone and 4-meth-oxy-6-methyl-2-pyrone, were hydrogenated over 5% Pd-titania modified with Cnd and Cn. During the reaction the quinuclidine iV-atom of the alkaloid modifier can interact with the acidic OH group of 3,6-dimethyl-4-hydro5g -2-pyrone

It is important to have a suitable substrate on which sensibilizer is applied to provide photosensibilization-induced formation of 02. Obviously, the geometric structure of substrate (the pore size, the specific surface value) would affect the amount of collisions of 02 molecules with substrate during transport of these particles from pores into the volume of the vial. Therefore, several features (for instance the dependence on pressure) of the emission of singlet oxygen into gaseous phase for dyes applied to silicagel differ from those of dyes applied to smooth quartz.

Recently, nitration of organolithiums and Grignards with N204 has been developed for the preparation of certain kinds of nitro compounds (Eqs. 2.14 and 2.15).31 The success of this process depends on the reaction conditions (low temperature) and the structure of substrates. For example, 3-nitrothiophene can be obtained in 70% overall yield from 3-bromothiophene this is far superior to the older method. 3-Nitroveratrole cannot be prepared usefully by classical electrophilic nitration of veratrole, but it can now be prepared by direct o>7/ o-lithiation followed by low-temperature N204 nitration. The mechanism is believed to proceed by dinitrogen tetroxide oxidation of the anion to a radical, followed by the radical s combination.

The lipase-catalyzed resolutions usually are performed with racemic secondary alcohols in the presence of an acyl donor in hydrophobic organic solvents such as toluene and tert-butyl methyl ether (Scheme 1.3). In case the enzyme is highly enantioselective E = 200 or greater), the resolution reaction in general is stopped at nearly 50% conversion to obtain both unreacted enantiomers and acylated enantiomers in enantiomerically enriched forms. With a moderately enantioselective enzyme E = 20-50), the reaction carries to well over 50% conversion to get unreacted enantiomer of high optical purity at the cost of acylated enantiomer of lower optical purity. The enantioselectivity of lipase is largely dependent on the structure of substrate as formulated by Kazlauskas [6] most lipases show...

overall structure of the complex ab initio. However, uncertainty between alternative structures of substrates is capable of being resolved, as is uncertainty in alternative assignments of the NMR resonances, or uncertainty in the orientation or position of coordination of substrates of known structure. A computer optimization of agreement between observed shifts and coordination orientation (or whatever other uncertain features are to be investigated) is the normal procedure, as first demonstrated for the [Pr(dpm)3(bomeol)] adduct.546...

The removal of a molecule of a hydrogen halide from an alkyl halide to yield an alkene is effected under strongly basic conditions, e.g. a concentrated alcoholic solution of sodium or potassium hydroxide or alkoxide. This overall reaction has been submitted to most rigorous mechanistic studies. Most of the factors (temperature, nature of base, structure of substrate, solvent, etc.) which control product composition have been evaluated. It thus appears that under the conditions noted above, an E2 process, in which the participating sites adopt an ann -periplanar conformation leading to an anti-elimination process, is generally favoured. 

The result of acid-catalyzed isomerisation of F-dienes depends on several factors structure of substrate, catalyst, and temperature.

Vinylcyclohexene (29) has been selectively hydrogenated to 4-ethylcyclohexene (30) in high yields of 97 and 98% over P-2 Ni19 and Nic,20 respectively, in ethanol at 25°C and 1 atm H2. Both the nickel catalysts are known to be of low isomerization activity and sensitive to the structure of substrates. The same selective hydrogenation was also achieved over a nickel catalyst in the presence of ammonia, which minimized the isomerization to a more highly substituted double bond.72 Similarly, over P-2 Ni,... 

Hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines (eq. 7.1) is usually accompanied by the formation of secondary amines (eq. 7.2) and even tertiary amines (eq. 7.3). The selectivity to respective amines depends on the structure of substrate, the nature and amount of catalyst, basic and acidic additives, the reaction medium, and other reaction conditions. Among these factors the nature of catalyst appears to be the most important for determining the selectivity. 

Materials on the activation parameters of enzymatic processes have been analyzed in review articles (Likhtenshtein, 1966 1976a, 1979a,1988a Lumry and Rajender, 1970 Lumry ans Biltonen, 1969 Lumry and Gregory, 1995). Cases were indicated, where for the same enzymes the change of the activation energy and entropy of the process caused by variation of chemical structure of substrates and other conditions, mentioned above, take place in parallel. The following linear dependences are approximately satisfied ... 

Holland s group40 has shown that the most versatile biotransformation using whole cell biocatalyst is the one using the fungus species NRRL 4671. From analysis of the sulfoxidation of a large number of substrates (> 90), they recently proposed a predictive model for chiral sulfoxidation by the fungus. The model (Fig. 2), developed from energy-minimized (MM+) structures of substrates produced by Hyperchem, is able to explain the stereochemical inversion seen for sulfoxidation of some phenyl alkyl sulfides, such as phenyl vinyl and phenyl hexyl sulfide. 

It seems likely that biochemists will continue to use a more pragmatic and less comprehensive approach. In biochemical processes, two important features are the structures of substrate and product. The overall steric structure of the substrate (and not just the possession of some structural feature such as a double bond) is important in terms of binding to an enzyme or receptor. Since many enzymatic reactions are readily reversible, overall product structure is important for the same reason. Furthermore, since many enzymes make more than one type of stereodifferentiation, the use of the stereo-differentiating terminology of Izumi and Tai would be somewhat cumbersome. The overall steric structure of molecules (as opposed to isolated structural features) is also important in the area of drug-receptor interactions.
