  • Creation of a Chiral All-Carbon Quaternary Center Induced by CF<inf>3</inf> and CH<inf>3</inf> Substituents via Cu-Catalyzed Asymmetric Conjugate Addition

    Taiyo Yamamoto, Masayuki Asakura, Ken Yamanomoto, Takanori Shibata, Kohei Endo

    Organic Letters   26 ( 25 ) 5312 - 5317  2024.06

     View Summary

    Cu-catalyzed asymmetric construction of a chiral quaternary center bearing CH3 and CF3 groups was achieved with high to excellent enantioselectivity using our originally developed ligands. The asymmetric conjugate addition of Me3Al to β-CF3-substituted enones and unsaturated ketoesters proceeded efficiently. The use of unsaturated ketoesters gives optically active furanones in high yields with high enantioselectivities. The perfluoroalkyl-substituted enone does not seem to be favorable in the present reaction.

  • Unconventional Ligand-to-Catalyst Ratio for the Distal C−C Bond Formation via C−H Activation and Chain-Walking

    King Hung Nigel Tang, Haluhi Takahashi, Ryo Tokutake, Takanori Shibata

    Advanced Synthesis and Catalysis    2024

     View Summary

    A mechanism-navigated enantioselective alkylation of an indole C2 C−H bond with an internal alkene was developed. Under the unconventional ligand-to-metal catalyst ratio, a moderate enantiomeric ratio (er), ranging from 70:30 to 88:12, was achieved with our original ligand. We propose that chain-walking and bond formation are mechanistically independent and suggest that hydridoiridium generated from the C−H source does not play a role in the chain-walking process.

    We herein report a synergistic strategy of C-H activation and consecutive isomerization catalyzed by an Ir catalyst to selectively obtain branched isomers as C-H alkylated products of benzanilide derivatives. A well-tuned ligand and a directing group are crucial to achieve this selectivity. The scope of this reaction is demonstrated by the use of a variety of substituents and complex molecules.

     View Summary

    Ir-catalyzed transformations initiated by sulfur-directed vinylic sp2 and benzylic sp3 C−H activation are disclosed that achieve the construction of sulfur-containing seven- and eight-membered systems. Allyl 2-alkynylphenyl sulfides were transformed into dihydrobenzothiepines in 30–95 % yield, and 2-alkynylaryl 2-tolyl sulfides were converted into dibenzo[b,f]thiepines in 57–95 % yield along with double bond isomerization. In both reactions, the combination of Ir catalyst and sulfide moiety was a key to the facile cyclization.

     View Summary

    Dithia[5]helicenes and helically chiral thia[6]helicenes were synthesized in high yields via a cationic Rh-catalyzed intramolecular [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of triynes bearing sulfur-containing 1,6-diynes. Thia[6]helicene could be obtained with a high enantiomeric excess of P-isomers by using (S)-SEGPHOS as a chiral ligand. This protocol is the first example of the synthesis of thiahelicenes via [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition and can also be used for the asymmetric construction of an aza[6]helical skeleton.

When 2-alkynylphenyl naphthyl sulfides are used, divergent synthesis of triaryl-fused thiepines and diaryl-substituted benzothiophenes can be achieved by simply choosing the reaction temperature.

  • Experimental and Theoretical Evidence for Relativistic Catalytic Activity in C–H Activation of N-Phenylbenzamide Using a Cationic Iridium Complex

    Chinami Takashima, Hisaki Kurita, Hideaki Takano, Yasuhiro Ikabata, Takanori Shibata, Hiromi Nakai

    The Journal of Physical Chemistry A   126 ( 42 ) 7627 - 7638  2022.10

     View Summary

    This study elucidates that relativistic effect plays a key role in catalytic C-H activation using a cationic Ir complex. Experiments show that the cationic Ir(I)-diphosphine catalyst can be used for the deuterium substitution of N-phenylbenzamide, whereas a cationic Rh(I)-diphosphine catalyst is scarcely effective. Density functional theory calculations, including the relativistic effect, demonstrate a large difference in the reaction energy diagrams for the C-H activation of N-phenylbenzamide between the cationic Ir and Rh catalysts. In particular, the relatively low reaction barrier and considerably stabilized product obtained for the Ir catalysts are rationalized by strong Ir-C and Ir-H interactions, which originate from the relativistic self-consistent d-orbital expansion of Ir.

  • Synthesis of Hexaazatruxenes by Consecutive N−H/C−H Coupling Using a Hypervalent Iodine Reagent and Evaluation of Their Photophysical Properties

    Yuchen Wu, Takuma Sasayama, Takahiro Gotoh, Mamoru Ito, Takanori Shibata

    European Journal of Organic Chemistry   2022 ( 27 )  2022.07

     View Summary

    Truxene is a C3-symmetric compound with characteristic photophysical properties, and it has great potential as a light-emitting material and building block. In this study, we demonstrate the synthesis of hexaazatruxenes using a two-step protocol. First, the hexaazatruxene precursors were prepared through the Buchwald-Hartwig amination of 1,3,5-tribromobenzene with commercially available or easily prepared amino-pyridine derivatives. Then, hexaazatruxenes were synthesized through consecutive N−H/C−H coupling using a hypervalent iodine reagent. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the synthesis of truxenes containing more than three heteroatoms in the main skeleton.

  • Asymmetric synthesis of planar chiral and helically chiral compounds

    Takanori Shibata

    Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis     769 - 802  2022.06

     View Summary

    This chapter describes transition metal-catalyzed protocols for the enantioselective synthesis of planar-chiral and helically chiral compounds. Regarding the generation of planar chirality, asymmetric synthesis of disubstituted ferrocenes is mainly focused, where C-H activation is a straightforward strategy. On the other hand, cyclophanes and helicenes are representative helically chiral compounds. [2+2+2] Cycloaddition and cycloisomerization of alkynes are shown as efficient approach to the creation of helical chirality.

    Oxidation of benzylic sp3 C-H bonds smoothly proceeded at ambient temperature under blue LED (465 nm) photo-irradiation using sulfur-containing tetracyclic compounds as photocatalysts. The use of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) as a cosolvent was the key to success: various toluene derivatives were selectively oxidized to substituted benzaldehydes without overoxidation. Preliminary mechanism studies were undertaken, including electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy analyses.

    We describe the divergent construction of two nitrogen-containing polycyclic systems by gold-catalyzed cycloisomerizations. The gold-catalyzed cascade hydroamination and 7-endo-dig-selective cycloisomerization of nitrogen-tethered 1,8-diynes yielded indolo[1,7-ab]benzazepines in one pot. In contrast, when Johnphos-coordinated gold catalyst was used, the same 1,8-diynes were transformed into indolo[1,2-a]quinolines by 6-endo-dig-selective cycloisomerization along with rearrangement of the substituent on one of the alkynes. The reaction of a naphthalene-tethered substrate provided a helically chiral aza[6]helicene.

  • Versatile Transformations of Biphenylenes by Transition-Metal Catalysts and Application for the Synthesis of Polycyclic Hydrocarbons

    Hideaki Takano, Takanori Shibata

    Journal of Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan   79 ( 9 ) 849 - 858  2021.09  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Transition-metal-catalyzed C - C bond activation is one of the most fascinating reactions to construct new C - C bonds because it can convert a simple carbon skeleton directly to a highly complicated carbon framework. In particular, transformations of biphenylene via C - C bond activation are well-known for the synthesis of polycyclic hydrocarbons such as phenanthrene and tetraphenylene. Since the products derived from biphenylene were still limited, there was room for investigation of biphenylene chemistry. Herein we summarize our recent progress for the new reactions of biphenylene by transition-metal catalysts to synthesize various polycyclic hydro¬ carbons. We achieved an iridium-catalyzed intermolecular [4+1] cycloaddition of biphenylenes with alkenes to give 9,9-disubstituted fluorene derivatives and we conducted a mechanism study by DFT calculations. In addition, we developed a new strategy to cleave the sterically hindered C - C bond of biphenylene by using an alkene and an alkyne moiety, respectively, which were used as both a directing group and a reaction site. As a result, dihydrobenzofluoranthene and axially chiral benzofluoranthene derivatives were obtained, which have unique photophysical properties. Furthermore, we achieved skeletal rearrangement via the cleavage of two different C- C bonds by a gold catalyst at ambient temperature and we elucidated reactivity and regioselectivity by experi¬ mental and computational studies.

    A method for the synthesis of dihydrodibenzo[c,e]azocine derivatives via a regioselective intramolecular aminoiodination of alkynes under visible light irradiation has been developed. This protocol uses a combination of iodine and hypervalent iodine to realize a sulfonamidyl radical, followed by intramolecular addition to alkyne to form a vinyl radical. Subsequent trapping of iodine radical affords an 8-membered heterocycle. Applications of the obtained iodinated 8-membered heterocycles in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and deiodination are also demonstrated. (Figure presented.).

    The 7-exo- and 8-endo-dig-selective gold-catalyzed cycloisomerizations of 2-propargylamino biphenyl derivatives were developed. The reaction of terminal alkynes gave dibenzo[b,d]azepines by 7-exo-dig cycloisomerization. In contrast, when internal alkynes were subjected to the reaction, 8-endo-dig cycloisomerization proceeded to provide dibenzo[b,d]azocines. The nucleophilicity at the reaction site and the electron-withdrawing effect of a tosyl group were important for the present selective transformation. This protocol could be used for ynamide substrates and a silver-catalyzed reaction gave 7-exo-dig products selectively.

    We describe a simple and practical protocol for the synthesis of benzyl sulfones using readily available toluene derivatives and α-amino acid sulfonamides. The reaction proceeds to afford a broad range of benzyl sulfones in moderate to high yields under silver catalysis. The mechanism possibly involves a Minisci-type formation of α-aminoalkyl radical, homolytic cleavage of a N-S bond to generate a sulfonyl radical, and coupling of sulfonyl radical with a benzyl radical formed via hydrogen abstraction by sulfate anion radical. The practicality of the present reaction is demonstrated by a gram-scale synthesis and one-step synthesis of anticancer-active compound. The mechanism studies are conducted using radical scavengers and deuterated toluene.

     View Summary

    Chiral polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are expected to have unusual physical properties due to their chirality and expanded π-conjugated system. Indeed, PAHs are promising compounds as chiral recognizers and organic semiconductors. Therefore, an efficient method for the synthesis of chiral PAHs is strongly desired. In contrast to helically chiral PAHs, there are only limited examples of the enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral PAHs. Herein, we report the catalytic enantioselective synthesis of benzo[b]fluoranthene-based axially chiral PAHs in excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to >99%, >99% ee) by regioselective cleavage of the sterically hindered C-C bond of biphenylenes. The consecutive cyclizations could provide polycyclic PAHs with two chiral axes. The obtained chiral PAHs have high ε values (up to ε = 8.9 × 104), quantum yields (up to Φ = 0.67), and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) property (|glum| = up to 3.5 × 10-3).

     View Summary

    Enantioselective synthesis of azepine-fused planar-chiral ferrocenes was achieved by the chiral cationic Pt-catalyzed intramolecular cycloisomerization of N-propargyl-2-ferrocenylanilines. A mechanistic study using an N-allenyl analogue indicated that the reaction proceeded selectively in a 7-exo-dig manner along with isomerization of the exo-olefin moiety. A methanesulfonylamino tether was crucial for selective cycloisomerization. This is the first example of the enantioselective synthesis of heteropin-fused planar-chiral ferrocenes.

    Journal of Computer Chemistry, Japan   18 ( 3 ) 136 - 138  2019.10  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    A cationic Ir complex was reported to show specific catalytic activity in C-H bond activation reaction of benzanilides. The present study examined reaction energy profiles of the C-H bond activation with Ir and Rh catalysts based on non-relativistic and relativistic quantum chemical calculations. We found that the relativistic effect is essential to demonstrate the difference in the catalytic activity. In particular, the activation of the d orbital of Ir, which is caused by the s- and p- orbital contraction followed by the self-consistent d-orbital expansion, leads to stabilization of the transition state and product of the C-H bond activation.

     View Summary

    Biphenylene is an antiaromatic compound that has a strained butadiene skeleton that joins two benzene rings. Various methods for synthesizing the biphenylene core have been developed. In addition, the reactivity of biphenylene has attracted much attention because C–C bonds of biphenylene can be cleaved by various organometallic species. Furthermore, the biphenylene motif not only acts as a spacer in a variety of functional molecules, but also serves as a backbone for catalysts and ligands. This minireview summarizes how to construct the biphenylene structure, how to react biphenylene, and how to use the biphenylene skeleton in functional materials.

  • Catalytic and asymmetric synthesis of heteroatom-containing cyclic polyarylenes

    Takanori Shibata

    Yuki Gosei Kagaku Kyokaishi/Journal of Synthetic Organic Chemistry   77 ( 10 ) 1005 - 1013  2019

     View Summary

    Cyclic polyarylene is a series of compounds, where the cyclic structure is constructed by a number of phenylene and/or heteroarylene moieties. Cyclic polyarylenes consisting of more than three arylene moieties are non-planar, and introduction of substituent (s) induces axial chirality. We comprehensively studied catalytic and enantioselective synthesis of various cyclic polyphenylenes by consecutive inter- and intramolecular cycloadditions of triynes, where 1,6-diyne and alkyne moieties were tethered by phenylene moiety. We further used this strategy for the construction of cyclic heteroarylenes using thiophene-tethered triynes. Next, we focused on the enantioselective construction of sulfur-containing benzo-fused medium ring systems. For examples, intermolecular cycloaddition of 1,8-diynes tethered by sulfur and two ortho-phenylene moieties with an alkyne gave axially chiral poly-substituted tribenzothiepins possessing a seven-membered ring core. We succeeded in the enantioselective synthesis of seven to eleven-membered benzo-fused compounds by intramolecular reaction of triynes consisting of sulfur-tethered 1,6-diyne and 1, «-diyne moieties (n = 8—11).

    Takanori Shibata

    Rhodium Catalysis in Organic Synthesis: Methods and Reactions     277 - 297  2018.12

     View Summary

    This chapter focuses on Rh(I)-catalyzed synthetic transformations initiated by carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bond cleavage. The Ru-catalyzed carbonyl-directed C-H alkylation by alkenes is a monumental achievement in organic chemistry. In this reaction, a nitrogen-containing moiety was commonly used as an efficient directing group. Alkynes are conventional coupling partners in C-H activation and alkenylated products are obtained with perfect atom economy. C-H bond cleavage along with carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions provides synthetically useful compounds in one pot. While the metalation of organohalides and subsequent reaction with trialkyl borate is a conventional protocol for the preparation of organoboron compounds, C-H borylation is a more direct and atom-economical approach. Aryl and alkyl silanes are synthetically important because they are functional molecules in themselves and are useful intermediates for further transformations. Among the various approaches to the synthesis of silane-containing compounds, dehydrogenative C-H/Si-H coupling is an atom-economical protocol.

The reaction proceeded via a decarboxylation, N–S bond cleavage and radical cyclization sequence and allows the difunctionalization of alkynes and the synthesis of 3-sulfonylated coumarins. The reaction tolerated a broad scope of substrates and functional groups and could be extended to the synthesis of oxindoles and an isoquinolinedione by the capturing of the sulfonyl radical with an alkene moiety. Moreover, the proposed mechanism was supported experimentally and by DFT calculations.

  • Raman study on pentacene:C-60 bulk heterojunction films

    Yasuhiro Iwasawa, Tomoya Sasaki, Takanori Shibata, Yukio Furukawa

    VIBRATIONAL SPECTROSCOPY   84   133 - 138  2016.05

     View Summary

    We measured 785 nm excited Raman and infrared spectra of pentacene-d(14). The observed spectra were assigned on the basis of the Raman and infrared spectra calculated by the density functional theory (DFT) method at the B3LYP/6-311 + G** level. We measured 785 nm excited Raman spectrum of a pentacne-d(14): C-60 bulk heterojunction film. The spectrum was assigned on the basis of the wavenumber shifts upon deuteration of pentacene. The assignments of the 1462 and 493 cm(-1) A(g) bands of C-60 were confirmed. The 511, 453, and 256 cm(-1) bands, which were observed only in pentacene:C-60 bulk heterojunction films, did not show large deuteration shifts. This result indicates that the 511, 453, and 256 cm(-1) bands are attributed to activation of the silent modes of C-60 due to symmetry lowering. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Evaluation of strength of soft ground improved by vacuum consolidation

    T. Shibata, S. Nishimura, M. Fujii, A. Murakami

    Geotechnical Engineering   46 ( 1 ) 95 - 102  2015.01

     View Summary

    This paper presents the numerical evaluation of the strength and stability of a ground improved via vacuum consolidation combined with a preloading embankment. To assess the stability of soft grounds, the undrained shear strength is definitely required. A numerical analysis is desirable for predicting the strength of the improved ground, and the elasto-plastic FEM for soil-water coupled problems, incorporating the SYS Cam-clay model, is adopted in two dimensions. The compression index of clay and the coefficient of permeability of organic soil, which are the primary factors for evaluating the ground behavior, are identified through an inverse analysis from the measured settlements. As the inverse approach, the particle filter is employed to account for the strong nonlinearity of the ground behavior. A stability analysis of the slip surface method is performed based on the evaluated undrained shear strength to assess the effect of the ground improvement on the construction of earth structures. The results show the validity of the ground improvement using vacuum consolidation with a preloading embankment.

  • Cationic iridium-catalyzed synthesis initiated by the cleavage of C-H, N-H, and C-O bonds

    Takanori Shibata, Kyoji Tsuchikama, Shiguang Pan

    Yuki Gosei Kagaku Kyokaishi/Journal of Synthetic Organic Chemistry   71 ( 11 ) 1182 - 1194  2013

     View Summary

    The direct functionalization of inactive bonds is an ideal transformation in organic synthesis because the introduction of activating groups, such as halogens and metals, to substrates is unnecessary and by-products derived from them are not formed. This report describes several types of cationic iridium-catalyzed reactions that occur through C-H, N-H, or C-O bond cleavage. The carbonyl-directed sp2 C-H bond activation of aryl ketones realized new approaches to benzofulvene, benzofuran and indole synthesis, as well as the C2-position-selective alkylation of N-acyl-protected indoles. The enantioselective sp3 C-H alkylation of 2-(alkylamino)pyridines and the intermolecular enantioselective hydroamination of heteroaromatic amines gave various chiral amines. 0-to-7V-alkyl migration in 2-alkoxypyridines gave 7V-alkylpyridones via C-O bond cleavage.

     View Summary

    Consecutive inter-and intramolecular [2+2+2] cycloadditions of various phenylene-tethered triynes were comprehensively studied by using chiral rhodium catalysts. ortho-Phenylene-tethered triynes gave chiral o,o,o,o-tetraphenylenes in high-to-excellent enantiomeric excess as dimers. meta-Phenylene-tethered triynes gave chiral o,m,o,m-tetraphenylenes in moderate enantiomeric excess as dimers along with hexaphenylenes as trimers. This is the first synthesis of cis-o,m,o,m-tetraphenylenes; one structure was ascertained by X-ray crystal structure analysis. para-Phenylene-tethered triynes gave o,p,o,p,o,p-hexaphenylenes as trimers along with the formation of o,p,o,p,o,p,o,p-octaphenylenes as tetramers.

  • Cationic iridium-catalyzed enantioselective activation of secondary sp(3) C-H bond adjacent to nitrogen atom

    Shiguang Pan, Yusuke Matsuo, Kohei Endo, Takanori Shibata

    TETRAHEDRON   68 ( 44 ) 9009 - 9015  2012.11

     View Summary

    A cationic Ir(I)-tolBINAP complex catalyzed an enantioselective C-C bond formation, which was initiated by secondary sp(3) C-H bond cleavage adjacent to nitrogen atom. A wide variety of 2-(alkylamino) pyridines and alkenes were selectively transformed into the corresponding chiral amines with moderate to almost perfect enantiomeric excesses. Alkynes were also investigated as coupling partners. The effect of alkyl structure in substrates and directing groups were studied. This transformation represents the first example of a highly enantioselective C-H bond activation of a methylene group, not at allylic or benzylic position. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

    An enantioselective intramolecular [2+2+2] cycloaddition of 2-aminophenol-tethered triynes and diyne-nitriles proceeded using the chiral Rh catalysts, and tripodal cyclophanes and pyridinophanes with a long ansa chain (up to [16]pyridinophane) were obtained in acceptable yield with high to almost perfect ee. In the reaction of triynes, we elucidated that the oxygen atom at the alkyne terminus is essential for the excellent enantioselectivity. For the construction of cage-type molecule, the choice of rigid tether, which connects 1,6-diyne moiety with a side carbon chain having alkyne or cyano group on its terminus, was important, and 8-amino-2-naphthol moiety was also a preferable tether.

    The intramolecular cycloaddition of 1,n-diene-ynes (n = 4-6), where alkyne and alkene moieties are connected by a 1,1-disubstituted alkene, was examined using a chiral rhodium catalyst, and various types of cycloadducts with quaternary carbon stereocenter(s) were obtained in high to excellent enantiomeric excess. In the case of 1,4-diene-ynes, tricyclic, bicyclic, and spirocyclic compounds were obtained depending upon the substituents at the 2-position of the 1,4-diene moiety and those at their alkyne termini. On the other hand, 1,5- and 1,6-diene-ynes gave tricyclic and bicyclic compounds, which included medium-sized ring systems. The mechanistic considerations for different reaction pathways and the synthetic transformation of tricyclic products into functionalized spirocyclic compounds are also described. The reaction of enediynes, where two alkyne moieties are connected by a 1,1-disubstituted alkene, was also examined, and sterically strained tricyclic compounds with two carbon stereocenters were obtained.

In the case of carbon-atom-tethered enediynes, enantioselectivity was generally good-to-high regardless of the substituents on their alkyne termini. In contrast, with heteroatom-tethered enediynes, appropriate substituents were required to induce the oxidative coupling of alkyne and alkene moieties before that of two alkyne moieties, which would be important for highly enantioselective intramolecular cycloaddition.

    Rh-dppf was found to be an efficient catalyst for the cross-coupling between primary alkyl halides bearing beta-hydrogens and arylzinc compounds possessing carbonyl groups such as ester, amide, or ketone at the ortho position. Various functional groups such as ester, nitrile, or acyloxylate moieties on the halides were tolerated under the catalysis conditions. Arylzinc compounds free of ortho-carbonyl groups reacted well with ethyl 3-iodopropanoate, suggesting that the essential intramolecular interaction between carbonyl groups and Rh promotes the reductive elimination.

    Yuki Gosei Kagaku Kyokaishi/Journal of Synthetic Organic Chemistry   64 ( 9 ) 913 - 922  2006

     View Summary

    Transition metal-catalyzed cycloaddition is an atom-economical and powerful synthetic tool for the construction of cyclic carbon skeletons. Various types of cycloadditions, including [2 + 2 + 1], [2 + 2 + 2], [4 + 2] cycloaddition, etc., have been reported. Their asymmetric versions using chiral transition metal catalysts have also been reported to give enantiomerically-enriched multi-cyclic compounds. First, an iridium-catalyzed enantioselective Pauson-Khand-type reaction is summarized. Pauson-Khand(-type) reaction is a [2 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition of an alkyne, alkene and carbon monoxide, and gives synthetically useful cyclopentenones. Rhodium- and iridium-catalyzed Pauson-Khand-type reactions using an aldehyde as a CO source were also mentioned. Second, two types of enantioselective [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions are described: One is an iridium-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of diynes and monoalkynes for the synthesis of chiral teraryls with two axial chiralities. Another is a rhodium-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of enynes and monoalkynes for the synthesis of bicyclic cyclohexa-1, 3-dienes with a chiral quaternary carbon center. Third, a rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective [2 + 2] cycloaddition of alkynes and alkenes for the synthesis of chiral cyclobutenes is mentioned.

     View Summary

    The organic field-effect transistors based on polydiacetylene as an active semiconductor have been made. The hole mobility and the on/off ratio have been determined to be 1.3 x 10(-3) cm(2)/V s and 1.0 x 10(4), respectively, for the transistor based on the blue phase of polydiacetylene prepared from 10, 12-pentacosadiynoic acid. The gate-voltage-induced infrared absorption spectrum has been attributed to the positive carriers injected by field effect. The spectrum shows a remarkable electron-molecular vibration coupling between vibration levels and an electronic transition.

    [GRAPHICS]
    The catalytic activity of a Rh complex in cross-coupling between ArZnI and TMSCH2I was examined in which the Rh complex, generated in situ from [RhCl(1,5-cyclooctadiene)](2) and 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the production of various functionalized benzylsilanes in good yields. From P-31 NMR studies of various solutions containing several of the reaction components, confirmation of the rapid and quantitative transfer of aryl groups from ArZnI to the Rh complex to form arylrhodium species was ascertained. A catalytic cycle, commencing with the transmetalation, was thus proposed for the reaction.

  • Discovery and development of asymmetric autocatalysis

    K Soai, T Shibata, Sato, I

    BULLETIN OF THE CHEMICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN   77 ( 6 ) 1063 - 1073  2004.06

     View Summary

    Asymmetric autocatalysis occurs when a chiral product operates as an asymmetric catalyst for its own production. We have discovered an asymmetric autocatalytic reaction in the enantioselective addition of dialkylzine to pyridine-3-carbaldehyde, where the product, 3-pyridyl alkanol, acts as an asymmetric autocatalyst. A diol, ferrocenyl alkanol, 5-pyrimidyl alkanol, and 3-quinolyl alkanol were also found to be asymmetric autocatalysts for the enantioselective isopropylation of the corresponding aldehydes. Of these compounds, 5-(2-alkynyl)pyrimidyl alkanol was the best asymmetric autocatalyst, and the asymmetric autocatalytic isopropylation of the corresponding pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde proceeded quantitatively (&gt;99%), affording itself as a near enantiomerically pure (&gt;99.5% ee) chiral product. When an asymmetric autocatalyst with an extremely low ee was used, the asymmetric autocatalytic reaction proceeded along with amplification of the ee, and a highly enantiomerically enriched product was obtained. When the enantioselective isopropylation of pyrimidine-5-carbaldehydes was examined in the presence of chiral organic compounds with a very low ee acting as chiral initiators, then highly enantiomerically enriched 5-pyrimidyl alkanols were obtained. Their absolute configurations were dependent upon the slight excess of enantiomer in the chiral initiators. Chiral inorganic crystals, such as quartz and sodium chlorate, also act as chiral initiators. In conjunction with asymmetric autocatalysis, the chirality of organic compounds with a high enantiomeric excess has been correlated for the first time with the circularly polarized light and chiral inorganic crystals. Moreover, when an enantioselective isopropylation was examined in the absence of a chiral initiator, asymmetric induction above the detection level was observed in the product, with the ratio of the resulting predominant Sand R-isomers being almost equal. This result fulfills one of the conditions necessary for spontaneous absolute asymmetric synthesis.

     View Summary

    Asymmetric automultiplication of chiral compounds by asymmetric autocatalysis is realized for the first time where a chiral product acts as a chiral catalyst for its own production. Practically perfect asymmetric autocatalysis (&gt;99%, &gt;99.5% ee) is attained using pyrimidyl alkanol as an asymmetric autocatalyst in the enantioselective addition of diisopropylzinc to pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde. Moreover, asymmetric autocatalyst with very low ee enhances its ee significantly up to &gt; 99.5% ee during the automultiplication without the assistance of any other chiral auxiliaries. Amino acids and [6]helicene with very low ee which are produced by asymmtric photolysis and photosynthesis using circularly polarized light (CPL) serve as chiral initiators of asymmetric autocatalysis, and pyrimidyl alkanol with high ee is obtained. Inorganic chiral crystals such as quartz and sodium chlorate also work as chiral initiators. These results correlate for the first time the proposed origins of chirality of organic compounds such as CPL and quartz with the chirality of organic compounds with very high ee.

    JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY   124 ( 15 ) 3808 - 3809  2002.04

     View Summary

    This paper reports a new method for the generation of chiral Lewis superacids by protonation of a non-Lewis acidic oxazaborolidine (1) with triflic acid. The resulting cationic species (3) are powerful and highly enantioselective catalysts for the Diels-Alder reaction of various 1,3-dienes with α,β-enals. An optimization study (see Table 1) led to the selection of reaction conditions and catalysts (6A and 6B) which are very effective. The reactions are simple to conduct, reproducible, and economical, since only ca. 6 mol% of catalyst is required. In addition, the chiral catalyst precursor is readily recovered for reuse (>95% efficiency) and is commercially available. The broad scope of the process is documented by the 14 examples listed in Table 2. The absolute stereochemical course of the Diels-Alder reactions catalyzed by 6A and 6B was successfully predicted on the basis of the mechanistic principles which have recently been formulated for this type of catalytic enantioselective reaction involving re-face attack by the diene on complex 7. The mode of generation of Lewis superacids 6A and 6B allows an approximate comparison (or scale) connecting the catalytic power Lewis and protic acids. Copyright © 2002 American Chemical Society.

  • Asymmetric autocatalysis - Discovery and development

    K Soai, T Shibata, Sato, I

    NIPPON KAGAKU KAISHI   2001 ( 3 ) 141 - 149  2001.03

     View Summary

    The asymmetric autocatalysis is an enantioselective synthesis where the asymmetric catalyst and the product possess the same structure and the same absolute configuration. We disclosed chiral alpha -isopropyl-3-pyridinemethanols, alpha -isopropyl-5-pyrimidinemethanols, and alpha -isopropyl-3-quino- linemethanols operate as asymmetric autocatalysts in the enantioselective additions of i-Pr2Zn to 3-pyridinecarbaldehyde, 5-pyrimidinecarbaldehyde and 3-quinolinecarbaldehyde, respectively. Especially, practically perfect asymmetric autocatalysis ( &gt; 99% yield and &gt; 99.5%e.e.) is attained by using 2- (3,3-dimethyl-1-butynyl)-alpha -isopropyl-5-pyrimidinemethanol as an asymmetric autocatalyst. Moreover, consecutive asymmetric autocatalytic reaction enables alpha -isopropyl-5-primidine- and alpha -isopropyl-3-quinolinemethanols as well as 5-(1-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl) pyridine-3-carboxamides with extremely low e.e. to automultiply with dramatic amplification of e.e. without any assistance of other chiral auxiliaries.
    It was also found that various chiral compounds can operate as chiral initiators in the enantioselective addition of i-Pr2Zn to 5-pyrimidinecarbaldehydes and alpha -isopropyl-5-pyrimidinemethanols with high e.e. were obtained. For example, in the presence of L-leucine with 2 %e.e., asymmetric autocatalysis affords an (R)-alpha -isopropyl-5-pyrimidinemethanol with high e.e. It is known that asymmetric degradation of racemic leucine using circularly polarized light (CPL) gives chiral leucine (ca. 2 %e.e.). Thus, asymmetric autocatalysis with amplification of e.e. serves as a correlation between CPL and highly enantiomerically enriched organic molecules. Moreover, enantiomorphic inorganic crystals such as quartz (SiO2) and sodium chlorate (NaClO3) can be utilized as chiral initiators and an alpha -isopropyl-5-pyrimidinemethanols with high e.e. was obtained in high yields.

  • Asymmetric autocatalysis and the origin of chiral homogeneity in organic compounds

    K Soai, Sato, I, T Shibata

    CHEMICAL RECORD   1 ( 4 ) 321 - 332  2001

     View Summary

    The discovery and development of asymmetric autocatalysis, in which the structures of the chiral catalyst and the chiral product are the same, are described. Chiral 5-pyrimidyl, 3-quinolyl, and 5-carbamoyl-3-pyridyl alkanols act as highly enantioselective asymmetric autocatalysts in the enantioselective addition of diisopropylzinc to the corresponding aldehydes, such as pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde. 2-Alkynyl-5-pyrimidyl alkanol with an enantiomeric excess (ee) of &gt;99.5% automultiplies practically perfectly as an asymmetric autocatalyst in a yield of &gt;99% and &gt;99.5% ee. Asymmetric autocatalysis with an amplification of ee has thus been realized. Consecutive asymmetric autocatalysis starting with chiral 2-alkynylpyrimidyl alkanol of only 0.6% ee amplifies its ee significantly, and yields itself as the product with &gt;99.5% ee. The reaction of pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde and diisopropylzinc in the presence of chiral initiators with low ee's, such as secondary alcohol, amine, carboxylic acid, mono-substituted [2.2]paracyclophane, and chiral primary alcohols due to deuterium substitution, regulates the absolute configuration of the resulting pyrimidyl alkanols, and the ee of the resulting pyrimidyl alkanol is much higher than that of the chiral initiator. Leucine and [6]helicene with very low ee's, which are known to be induced by circularly polarized light (CPL), also serve as chiral initiators to produce pyrimidyl alkanol with higher ee's. Overall, the process represents the first correlation between the chirality of CPL and an organic compound with very high ee. Chiral inorganic crystals, such as quartz and sodium chlorate, act as chiral inducers in the asymmetric autocatalysis of pyrimidyl alkanol. The process correlates for the first time ever the chirality of inorganic crystals with an organic compound with very high ee. (C) 2001 The Japan Chemical journal Forum and John Wiley Sons, Inc.

     View Summary

    Asymmetric autocatalysis is a process of automultiplication of a chiral compound in which chiral product acts as a chiral catalyst for its own production. The discovery and the development of asymmetric autocatalysis of pyrimidyl-, quinolyl-, and pyridyl-alkanols are described in the enantioselective additions of diisopropylzinc to the corresponding nitrogen-containing aldehydes. (Alkynylpyrimidyl)alkanols automultiply with a yield of over 99% and over 99.5% ee. Asymmetric autocatalysts with extremely low ee's automultiply with significant amplification of ee's without the need for any other chiral auxiliaries. Small enantiomeric imbalances of chiral molecules induced by physical factors can be amplified by the present asymmetric autocatalysis.

    In the presence of a stoichiometric amount of CrCl3 and trimethylchlorosilane (TMSCl), nucleophilic addition of arylzinc compounds Ic-h to arylaldehydes 2a,b,g smoothly proceeded at room temperature to yield corresponding benzhydrols 4a-f in good yields. From arylzinc compounds la,b, 3-aryl-1(3H)-isobenzofuranones 3a-f were given by the CrCl3-mediated reaction with arylaldehydes 2a-f. Diaryl ketones 5a-e were obtained in good yields by the addition of excess amount of benzaldehyde as an oxidant to the resulting solution after the CrCl3-mediated reaction between arylzinc compounds Ic-p and arylaldehydes 2b,g was completed. In the nucleophilic additions of arylzinc compounds la,d,f to alkyladehydes 6b-f, the treatment of arylzinc compounds with CrCl3 was required prior to the addition of the aldehydes in order to prevent the fast protodezincation of arylzinc compounds by the enolizable aldehydes. In these CrCl3-mediated nucleophilic additions of arylzinc compounds to aldehydes, arylchromium(III) species are probably reactive intermediates.

    Enantioselective alkylation of N-diphenylphosphinylimine with dialkylzincs using monomeric chiral amino alcohols and copolymerized chiral amino alcohols as chiral ligands afforded N-diphenylphosphinylamines with high enantiomeric excess (EE). Among monomeric chiral ligands, N-vinylbenzylephedrine was the most highly enantioselective to afford the corresponding N-diphenylphosphinylamine with 95% EE. Chiral monomeric amino alcohols were copolymerized with styrene in the presence of crosslinking reagents such as divinylbenzene. The enantioselectivities of copolymerized chiral ligands were also high (up to 89% EE). Copolymerized chiral ligand was easily separated from the reaction mixture by filtration and was reused without considerable decrease in the enantioselectivity. Copolymerized chiral ligands prepared using crosslinking reagents with methylene spacers also showed high enantioselectivities, giving N-diphenylphosphinylamine with up to 90% EE. Regarding of the effect of solvent, aromatic hydrocarbons (toluene and benzene) and diethyl ether are appropriate. The effect of a spacer introduced on the nitrogen atom of the amino alcohol was also examined. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

     View Summary

    THE homochirality of natural amino acids and sugars remains a puzzle for theories of the chemical origin of life(1-18). In 1953 Frank(7) proposed a reaction scheme by which a combination of autocatalysis and inhibition in a system of replicating chiral molecules can allow small random fluctuations in an initially racemic mixture to tip the balance to yield almost exclusively one enantiomer. Here we show experimentally that autocatalysis in a chemical reaction can indeed enhance a small initial enantiomeric excess of a chiral molecule. When a 5-pyrimidyl alkanol with a small (2%) enantiomeric excess is treated with diisopropylzinc and pyrimidine-5-carboxaldehyde, it undergoes an autocatalytic reaction to generate more of the alkanol. Because the reaction involves a chiral catalyst generated from the initial alkanol, and because the catalytic step is enantioselective, the enantiomeric excess of the product is enhanced, This process provides a mechanism by which a small initial imbalance in chirality can become overwhelming.

     View Summary

    There are several patterns of dehydro-Diels-Alder (DDA) reaction. For example, the tetradehydro-Diels-Alder (TDDA) reaction of a 1,3-enyne and alkyne gives a substituted benzene ring with perfect atom-economy. We merged two types of DDA reactions and realized the facile preparation of dibenzosilole-fused polycyclic compounds. Moreover, the benzene ring in the obtained silicon-containing cycloadduct showed high reactivity as a 1,3-diene moiety. On the other hand, we developed a Ni-catalyzed transformation initiated by non-activated C-S bond cleavage at ambient temperature along with carbothiolation to alkynes. An intramolecular reaction of diarylthioether-tethered 1,8-diyne gave sulfur-containing tetracyclic compounds. It is notable that an intermolecular reaction can also be achieved: self- and cross-coupling proceeded in complete regioselective manner. We further demonstrated the photo-catalytic activity of the obtained tetracyclic compounds in the benzylic oxidation.

    (1) インドールの2位のエナンチオ選択的分子内不斉アルキル化:インドールは生物活性を示す天然物に多くみられる部分構造であり、位置選択的な官能基化は重要な課題である。今回我々は3位に配向基を導入したN-アルケニルインドールを基質とした分子内不斉反応を検討した。その結果、カチオン性イリジウム錯体とキラルジホスフィン配位子から調製される遷移金属触媒を用いることで、2位のC-H結合が開裂し、引き続きアルケンと反応することで、含窒素三環性化合物が高収率かつ極めて高い不斉収率で得られた。
    (2) C-Hアルキル化による面不斉フェロセン誘導体のエナンチオ選択的合成:非対称1,2-二置換フェロセン誘導体は面不斉を有し、多くの不斉配位子のキラル骨格として利用されている。そこで我々は、配向基を用いたC-H結合開裂を起点するエナンチオ選択的反応により面不斉フェロセン化合物の合成を目標として検討を行った。種々の不斉配位子および触媒を検討した結果、天然物Carvoneから容易に合成できるCarreiraジエンが極めて有効あり、C-Hアルキル化生成物として面不斉1,2-二置換フェロセン誘導体が、高収率かつ高不斉収率で得られた。

    炭素-水素結合など不活性結合の直接的な官能基化は、原子効率、工程数の削減から理想的な合成変換であるが、望みの不活性結合を位置選択的に活性化するためには、反応部位に金属触媒を接近させる「配向基」が一般に用いられる。私は、「配向基」を単なる「活性化基」として用いるのではなく、生成物の付加価値を高め、その後の多彩な合成変換を可能にする「機能性基」として位置づけ触媒反応の開発を行った。
    まず私は、カチオン性イリジウム触媒を用いることで、配向基(DG)を有するフェロセン化合物に対し、酸化的C-H結合開裂を起点とするアルキル化、アルケニル化を行った。その結果、2-pyridyl基を配向基を用いた場合、三置換、一方1-isoquinolyl基を用いた場合、二置換フェロセン化合物が選択的に得られた。
    次にカチオン性イリジウム触媒を用いたアルケン類との反応により、インドールの2位選択的なアルキル化を達成した。さらに、窒素上の置換基(Ac基とBz基)と、触媒に用いるホスフィン配位子(SEGPHOSとSDP)の適切な組み合わせにより、直鎖型(linear)と分岐型(branched)アルキル化体の選択的な合成に成功した。複素環であるインドールは多くの生理活性化合物の母骨格あり、位置選択的な炭素鎖や官能基の導入法の開発が望まれている。3位は電子豊富でありFriedel-Crafts反応に対する活性部位であるが、2位のC-H結合の直接的なアルキル化の例は、本例が初めてである。
    そして、新形式のC-H結合活性化を伴う反応として“ロールオーバー”を経る反応を目指し、3-アルキニル-2-アリールピリジンの反応を検討した。様々な遷移金属触媒の検討の結果、ロジウム触媒[Cp*RhCl2]2に触媒量の銅塩Cu(OAc)2を添加することで効率よく反応が進行し、4-アザフルオレン誘導体が得られた。

    I reported an enantioselective ortho-lithiation of achiral paracyclophanes with oxygen atoms as directed moieties at both ends of ansa-chain using a chiral lithium reagent. The reaction of an unflippable 1,n-dioxa[n]paracyclophane (n?□11) with sec- utyllithium and (-)-sparteine gave the chiral mono-lithiated product. Additional amount of sec-butyllithium gave C_2-symmetric dilithiated product. The quenching of these lithium salts by appropriate electrophiles gave various planar-chiral aracyclophanes with excellent ee. The planar-chiral mono- and diphosphines, which were prepared by the above protocols, were used as chiral ligands in transition metal-catalyzed reactions.

    Biologically related compounds such as L-amino acids are composed of one of the enantiomers. The phenomenon is called biological homochirality, and the origin of homochirality has attracted broad interest. Asymmetric autocatalysis, i.e., Soai reaction, is a reaction in which chiral product acts as a chiral catalyst for its own production. It was found that chiral isotopomers of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, spontaneous absolute asymmetric synthesis, chiral crystals formed from achiral organic compounds such as nucleic acid base act as chiral initiators of asymmetric autocatalysis. Highly enantioenriched chiral compounds withthe corresponding absolute configurations with those of chiral initiators are obtained.

    Transition metal catalyzed-reactions realize efficient and useful synthetic transformations. In particular, transition metals with chiral ligands can induce high enantioselectivity, and various types of chiral skeletons can be synthesized. I have focused on the development of chiral transition metal-catalyzed cycloadditions in this project. For example, consecutive inter- and intramolecular [2+2+2] cycloadditions of two o-phenylene-tethered triynes provided highly enantioselective synthesis of chiral substituted tetraphenylenes. The present protocol is a new and facile approach to the construction of chiral tetraphenylene skeleton. We also reported the enantioselective synthesis of the tripodal cage-type compounds with planar chirality. Intramolecular [2+2+2] cycloaddition of branched triynes, where diyne and alkyne moieties were connected by 2-aminophenol linkage, gave tripodal cyclophanes with almost perfect enantioselectivity.

    次に、1,3-ジイン部分により二つのトリイン部分が連結されたヘキサインの分子内連続的[2+2+2]付加環化反応を検討した。その結果、両末端にアリール基、あるいは嵩高いイソプロピル基を導入した基質を用いることにより、対応するビアリール誘導体を高不斉収率で得た。
    さらに、ベンゼン環により架橋された1,7-ジインを出発物質として、アルキンとの分子間[2+2+2]付加環化反応、生成物の1,4-シクロヘキサジイン部分の酸化による芳香化を二回繰り返すことにより、軸不斉を有する光学活性なペンタセン骨格の合成に初めて成功した。
    これらの結果は、アルキン類の[2+2+2]付加環化反応による軸不斉の創製というコンセプトの汎用性を示すとともに、芳香環を含む多縮環型光学活性化合物の合成手法を提供したと言える。

     View Summary

    Pyrimidyl alkanol was found to act as an asymmetric autocatalysis in the reaction between pirimidine-5-carbaldehyde and diisopropylzinc, affording highly enantioenriched pyrimidyl alkanol with the same structure and absolute configuration. When asymmetric autocatalyst with very low enantiomeric excess (ee) was employed, significant amplification of ee was observed. Starting from asymmetric autocatalyst with very low ee, three consecutive asymmetric autocatalysis afforded practically enantiopure (>99.5% ee) pyrimidyl alkanol. Asymmetric autocatalysis has been employed to examine the validity of the origin of chirality. It was found that chiral inorganic crystal such as sodium chlorate act as chiral initiator of asymmetric autocatalysis. Direct irradiation of circularly polarized light (CPL) to racemic pyrimidyl alkanol and the subsequent asymmetric autocatalysis gave highly enantioenriched pyrimidyl alkanol with the related configuration to that of the direction of CPL. In addition, certain ketoolefin to which CPL induces the enantioenrichment by asymmetric photoequilibrium can act as a chiral initiator of asymmetric autocatalysis. Chiral crystals of achiral organic compound such as cytosine acts as chiral initiator of asymmetric autocatalysis. Spontaneous absolute asymmetric synthesis in the presence of achiral silica gel was achieved without adding chiral initiator in the reaction between pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde and diisopropylzinc. Chiral discrimination of cryprochiral compound such as satirated quaternary hydrocarbon was achieved by using asymmetric autocatalysis. As described, we have found highly efficient asymmetric autocatalysis with amplification of enantioenrichment and applied the reaction to elucidate the origin of chirality and chiral discrimination.

    1,6 Coordinate perphosphoranide anion (12-P-6) are usually unstable and difficult to be isolated. In order to stabilize the anion, two equivalents of the bidentate Martin ligand (hexafluorocumyl alcohol) were reacted with phosphorus trichloride to generate 4 coordinate phosphoranide anion (10-P-4) in situ. Conjugate aldehydes and 1,2-diketones were reacted with the anion (10-P-4) to effect Diels-Alder type 1,4-cycloadditon to synthesize 6 coordinate perphosphoranide anions (12-P-6). The anion (12-P-6) was isolated stable and the structure was determined by X-ray analysis when phenanhrenequinone was used as a 1,2-diketone. Gnerally, the anions (12-P-6) were hydrolyzed to give 5 cordinate phosphoranes (10-P-5) bearing ethylene aldehyde group and the aldehydes were characterixed as their 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones.
    2,Syntheses and structure determination by X-ray analysis of a variety of 5 coordinate hypervalent carbon species (10-C-5) were reported as full papers in the fiscal year of 2005. In 2006, we challenged to synthesize 6 coordinate hypervalent carbon species (12-C-6). Because of the new and unique idea to prepare 12-C-6 species, several attempts were tried. Finally, an allene compound which bears thioxanthene skeleton at the terminal 1,3-carbons was prepared and the two sulfur atoms were methylated to yield the 6 coordinate carbon species. For the methylation, only the strongest methylation reagent, i.e., carborane reagent, could lead to success. The reagent was developed by Professor C. Reed group of Riverside, California, USA.
    3,Syntheses, crystal and solution structures, ligand exchange and ligand coupling reactions of mixed pentaarylantimony compounds were reported as a full paper in 2007. The experiments were quite complicated and contained a variety of aspects of hypervalent pentacoordinate compounds and had been completed several years before. By analyzing the total experimental results, it was concluded that the reaction proceeded through the two apical ligands which was termed as "memory effect".

     View Summary

    There are many reactions of 1, 2-propadienes(allenes), which have cumulated double bond moieties, as unique synthetic reagents. Among them, the features of the cumulated double bond are effectively utilized, that cannot be achieved by simple double or triple bond. In this research, I recognize vinylidene and allenylidene complexes as metal analogue of 1, 2-propadienes and 1, 2, 3-butatriene, respectively, and pay attention to the reactivity of carbon-carbon double bond in metallacumulenes. I plan to search for synthetic reactions that make the best use of their characteristics, and that use metallacumulenes as two or three carbon unit.
    I first examined the synthesis of vinylidene complexes from rhodium and iridium ones, which are known to be relatively electron-rich metals. According to the conventional methods, I tried to prepare them from low valent rhodium complexes and terminal alkynes via isomerization along with a hydrogen transfer. I failed but obtained multicyclic compounds by cycloaddition of alkyne moieties. Thus, I focused on the development of low valent late transition metal catalyzed-cycloaddition of alkynes and alkenes, especially enantioselective reaction using chiral metal catalysts.
    For example, transition metal-catalyzed[2+2+2] cycloaddition is a well-established protocol for the construction of six-membered ring systems. I developed a new type of enantioselective[2+2+2] cycloaddition for the synthesis of quaternary carbon stereocenters. The intramolecular reaction of various 1, 4-diene-ynes proceeded using a chiral rhodium catalyst and tricyclic compounds possessing a strained bicyclo[2.2.1] heptene skeleton or bicyclic cyclo-1, 3-dienes were obtained, depending on the substituent on the 1, 4-diene moiety.

    報告者は、イリジウム錯体を用いる触媒的かつエナンチオ選択的[4+2]付加環化反応について検討した。その結果、置換基を持たないジエンとアルキンとの分子内反応が進行し、キラルイリジウム錯体を用いた場合には、対応するシクロヘキサ-1,4-ジエンが高不斉収率で得られことを見いだした。
    これまで数多くの報告例があるルイス酸触媒を用いる[4+2]付加環化反応(Diels-Alder反応)では、不斉場構築において、反応点近傍にあるヘテロ原子官能基へのルイス酸の配位が足がかりとなる。一方、メタラサイクルを経由する遷移金属錯体を触媒とする反応では、ヘテロ原子官能基をもたない不活性な基質間でも反応が進行するという特徴をもつ。分子内[4+2]付加環化反応は、Ni、Pd、Rh触媒などを用いる反応が知られており、カチオン性キラルRh錯体を用いる不斉反応も報告されている。しかしながら、これまで用いられている基質は、置換基を有する(主にsorbic alcohol、ヘキサ-2,4-ジエン-1-オール由来の)ジエンとアルキンあるいはアルケンとの分子内不斉反応のみであった。
    報告者は既に、[2+2+1]付加環化反応において、イリジウム錯体が有効な触媒として機能することを見いだし、不斉反応へも展開している。今回、末端ジエンとアルキンとの分子内[4+2]付加環化反応においても、イリジウム錯体が触媒として働くことを見いだした。特にキラルなジホスフィンBDPPを不斉配位子とし、溶媒として酢酸tert-ブチルを用いた場合、非カチオン性イリジウム錯体によって極めて高エナンチオ選択的に反応が進行し、対応するシクロヘキサ-1,4-ジエンが得られた。

    遷移金属触媒を用いる付加環化反応は、環状化合物合成において最も汎用な手法である。中でも、一酸化炭素やイソシアニドの挿入を伴う反応は、環内に合成上有用なカルボニル基、イミノ基をもつ環化生成物を与える。しかしながらこれまで、触媒的アルキン-アルキンカップリング反応によるシクロペンタジエノンの一般的な合成法はなく、また、イソシアニドの挿入を伴う反応は、基質に対し等量の遷移金属錯体を用いる例しか報告されていない。
    報告者は、イリジウム-ホスフィン錯体を用いることにより、一酸化炭素の挿入を伴う触媒的分子内アルキン-アルキンカップリング反応が進行することを見いだした。その後に他の研究者により報告されたコバルト三核カルボニル錯体を用いる高一酸化炭素圧下の触媒的アルキン-アルキンカップリングと異なり、本反応は、一酸化炭素常圧下、さらには低分圧下(0.2atm)においても効率的に進行することがわかった。また、生成物のシクロペンタジエノンは、酸処理により、容易に二重結合の異性化が進行し、さらなる合成変換が可能な二環性ジエノンが得られる。
    さらに、これまで等量のNi(O)錯体を用いる例しか知られていない、イソシアニドの挿入を伴うアルキン-アルキンカップリングについて検討した結果、ロジウム錯体を用いることにより触媒反応を達成した。本反応は、ホスフィン配位子をもたないロジウム錯体を用い、溶媒としてジブチルエーテルを選択し、かつイソシアニドを少量ずつ適切な時間間隔で添加することにより、速やかに反応が進行し、良好な収率でイミノシクロペンタジエンを与えることを見いだした。

    2つの二重結合が連続した構造を持つアレンは、オレフィンやアセチレンにない特有の反応性を持ち、合成上有用な三炭素合成素子として用いられている。例えば、アリールパラジウム(II)種に対してアレン化合物を作用させると速やかに挿入反応が進行し、π-アリルパラジウム中間体を与えることが知られている。
    そこで筆者は、一酸化炭素雰囲気下、アレニルアミン化合物を用いれば、分子内のアミノ基がπ-アリルパラジウム中間体へ求核付加し、引き続き一酸化炭素の挿入を伴ってパラジウムが還元的脱離すれば、β-ラクタムが得られると考えた。実際に触媒としてPd(PPh_3)_4、塩基として炭酸カリウム用い、加熱条件によりα-アレニルアミンとヨードベンゼンの反応を行うと、予期に反してカルボニル基を環外にもつ含窒素五員環生成物が得られた。この結果は、系中で生成するフェニルパラジウム種が、アレンに挿入する前にカルボニル化され、ベンゾイルパラジウム種となり、その後アミンの求核付加により閉環したと考えられる。従って、アルゴン雰囲気下で反応を行うと、環状にフェニル基をもつ含窒素複素環であるピロール誘導体が得られた。
    反応条件を精査した結果、トルエン溶媒中、嵩高い有機塩基であるエチルジイソプロピルアミン(Hunig base)を用いた場合、反応は効率的に進行し、高収率でジヒドロピロール誘導体を与えた。本反応は、ベンゼン環上に電子吸引性基、電子供与性基いずれの置換基をもつヨー化アリールを基質として用いても進行し、対応するアリール置換複素環化合物を与えた。

     View Summary

    Asymmetric autocatalysis has been developed. Chiral 2-alkynyl-5-pyrimidyl alkanol was found to be a highly enantioselective asymmetric autocatalyst in the enantioselective addition of diisopropylzinc to pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde. PracticaUy perfect asymmetric autocatalysis(>99%. >99.5% ee) is achieved. The product has been used as asymmetric autocatalyst for the next asymmetric autocatalysis. During the ten consecutive asymmetric autocatalyses, the initial pyrimidyl alkanol has automultiplied by a factor of 60 million. It was also found that the enantiomeric excess is enhanced in the asymmetric autocatalysis. When the asymmetric autocatalyst with only 0.1% ee was employed, the ee was enhanced up to >99.5% ee. In the presence of L-leucine with only 2% ee, the reaction between pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde and diisopropylzinc afforded pyrimidyl alkanol with higher ee. This is the first example of the correlation of the chirality of circularly polarized light (CPL) with a chiral organic compound with high ee. Chiral hydrocarbon, i. e., hexahelicene, serves as a chiral initiator, and pyrimidyl alkanol with high ee was obtained. Chral inorganic crystals such as quartz and sodium chlorate work as chiral initiators. In the presence of d-quartz, (S)-pyrimidyl alkanol with 98% ee was obtained. On the other hand, in the presence of I-quartz, (R)-alkanol with 98% ee was formed. As described, we found asymmetric autocatalysis in which the ee of organic compound increases without the need for any other chiral auxiliary. Amplification from 0.1% ee to>99.5% ee has been achieved. Chiral organic compounds with low ee work as chiral initiators to afford pyrimidyl alkanol with higher ee. By using asymmetric autocatalysis, chirality of CPL is correlated with organic compound of high ee. Chiral inorganic crystals act as chiral initiators in asymmetric autocatalysis, and pyrimidyl alkanol with very high ee was formed. This is the first example of a highly enantioselective synthesis induced by chiral inorganic crystal.

    報告者は、用いる不斉触媒と得られる生成物の構造ならびに絶対構造が同一である「不斉自己触媒反応」の開発を行っている。不斉触媒と生成物の構造が異なる従来の不斉反応とは異なり、不斉自己触媒系では、微量の不斉源から得られた生成物を次の反応の触媒として用いる連続反応により、触媒の劣化を考慮することなく、大量のキラル化合物が得られる。報告者は既に、ピリミジン-5-カルバルデヒドのジアルキル亜鉛による不斉イソプロピル化反応においてほぼ定量的(>99%)、かつほぼ完全にエナンチオ選択的(>99.5%e.e.)に進行する完全不斉自己触媒反応系を見いだした。さらに、最初に用いる不斉自己触媒として極めて低鏡像体過剰率のピリミジルアルカノールを用いても、連続反応によりほぼ一方の鏡像体のみが得られることを報告した。
    今回、上記不斉自己触媒系の応用、実用化を目指し、始めに添加するキラル化合物として、不斉自己触媒であるピリミジルアルカノールではなく、それ以外の構造の異なる化合物をキラル開始剤として用いて同条件下反応を試みた。その結果、極めて低鏡像体過剰率(0.1%e.e.以下)のアルコール、アミン、カルボン酸などがキラル開始剤として作用し、高い鏡像体過剰率のピリミジルアルカノールが生成した。得られるピリミジルアルカノールが、その鏡像体過剰率を保ったまま、α-ヒドロキシカルボン酸あるいはα-アミノ酸誘導体へと変換できることを見いだしたことから、本結果は、種々の低鏡像体過剰率の有機化合物が、有用なキラルプールの供給源となりうることを意味している。

    私は用いる不斉配位子と得られる生成物の構造、ならびに絶対配置が同一である自己完結型不斉反応の開発を行った。従来型不斉反応、すなわち用いる不斉配位子と生成物とが全く異なる構造を有する不斉反応と比べ、自己完結型不斉反応は、1)反応後両者を分離精製する必要がない、2)得られた生成物を次の反応で不斉配位子として用いる連続反応が可能である、などの利点を持つ。
    平成9、10年度の研究により、上記自己完結型不斉反応をα-アミノケトンの不斉還元反応において実現した。すなわち、不斉配位子としてβ-アミノアルコール、還元剤として水素化アルミニウムリチウム、補助配位子としてN-エチルアニリンを用い、対応するα-アミノケトンの不斉還元反応を行ったところ、用いた不斉配位子と同一な構造、絶対配置を有するβ-アミノアルコールが高不斉収率で得られた。
    さらに平成10年度において、触媒的自己完結型不斉還元反応の開発を目指し研究を進めた。従来型触媒的不斉還元反応として、基質に対し触媒量の不斉配位子を用いるケトン、あるいはケトイミンのボラン還元反応が知られている。そこで予備的実験として等量のアミノアルコールを不斉配位子として対応するα-アミノケトン、ケトイミンの自己完結型不斉還元反応をボラン錯体を還元剤として用い行った。その結果、ボラン還元反応においても自己完結型不斉還元反応は達成されるが、上記したアルミニウムヒドリドを用いる場合と比べ一般に不斉収率が低い結果を与えた。例えば、窒素上に嵩高い2級アルキル基であるジフェニルメチル基を持つアミノアルコールを不斉配位子とするケトイミンの不斉還元反応で、不斉配位子と同一の絶対配置を持つアミノアルコールが得られたが、その不斉収率は最高11%e.e.であり、さらなる検討を要するを言える。

    従来の不斉合成反応では、不斉配位子と生成物の構造は異なり、異型の不斉配位子および、反応後の不斉配位子と生成物との分離操作が必要であった。これに対し、本研究では不斉配位子と生成物の構造が同一で、異型不斉配位子が不要かつ不斉配位子と生成物との分離操作が不要である省エネ・省資源型の不斉自己増殖反応の開発および関連する不斉合成法の開拓を目的とする。
    キラルなβ-アミノアルコールを不斉配位子とする水素化アルミニウムリチウムによるα-アミノケトンの不斉還元により、β-アミノアルコールである不斉配位子が最高90%e.e.で不斉自己増殖することを世界で最初に見出した。すなわち、光学的にほぼ純粋な(S)-フェニル-2-ピロリジニルエタノールを不斉配位子に用い、N-エチルアニリン存在下で水素化アルミニウムリチウムとキラルな錯体を形成させ、2-ピロリジニルアセトフェノンを不斉還元したところ、不斉配位子と同一構造同一絶対配置の(S)-フェニル-2-ピロリジニルエタノールが収率82%、不斉収率90%e.e.で得られた。さらに、ピペリジンあるいはモルフォリン骨格を有するアミノアルコールを不斉配位子に用いた場合も、不斉還元において78-84%e.e.で自己増殖することを明らかにした。以上のように異型の不斉源が不要、かつ不斉配位子と生成物とが同一であるのでこれらの分離が不要である次世代の不斉合成反応を開発した。
    また、新規の不斉配位子の開発として、キラルなデンドリマ-およびアミノアルコールを不斉配位子とするN-Dppイミンのジアルキル亜鉛による不斉アルキル化反応により、対応するDppアミンが良好ないし高いエナンチオ選択性で得られた。

     View Summary

    The asymmetric autocatalysis is an enantioselective synthesis where the asymmetric catalyst and the product possess the same structure and the same absolute configuration. We disclosed chiral α-isopropyl-3-pyridinemethanols, α-isopropyl-5-pyrimidinemethanols, and α-isopropyl-3-quinolinemethanols operate as asymmetric autocatalysts in the enantioselective additions of i-Pr2Zn to 3-pyridinecarbaldehyde, 5-pyrimidinecarbaldehyde and 3-quinolinecarbaldehyde, respectively. Especially, practically perfect asymmetric autocatalysis (&gt
    99% yield and &gt
    99.5%e.e.) is attained by using 2-(3,3-dimethyl-1-butynyl)-α-isopropyl-5-pyrimidinernethanol as an asymmetric autocatalyst. Moreover, consecutive asymmetric autocatalytic reaction enables α-isopropyl-5-pyrimidine- and α-isopropyl-3-quinolinemethanols as well as 5-(1-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)pyridine-3-carboxamides with extremely low e.e. to automultiply with dramatic amplification of e.e. without any assistance of other chiral auxiliaries. It was also found that various chiral compounds can operate as chiral initiators in the enantioselective addition of i-Pr2Zn to 5-pyrimidinecarbaldehydes and α-isopropyl-5-pyrimidinemethanols with high e.e. were obtained. For example, in the presence of L-leucine with 2%e.e., asymmetric autocatalysis affords an (R)-α-isopropyl-5-pyrimidinemethanol with high e.e. It is known that asymmetric degradation of racemic leucine using circularly polarized light (CPL) gives chiral leucine (ca. 2%e.e.). Thus, asymmetric autocatalysis with amplification of e.e. serves as a correlation between CPL and highly enantiomerically enriched organic molecules. Moreover, enantiomorphic inorganic crystals such as quartz (SiO2) and sodium chlorate (NaClO3) can be utilized as chiral initiators and an α-isopropyl-5-pyrimidinemethanols with high e.e. was obtained in high yields.

    2023  

     View Summary

     ディスプレイや照明、あるいは色素を具現化し得る基盤材料のひとつが「発光性有機分子」であり、新規な機能性有機化合物の開発が活発に行われている。一方最近、キラルな光である円偏光発光(CPL)が、次世代の高輝度液晶ディスプレイの光源や新規な光情報通信の基盤技術として注目されており、「円偏光発光材料としての低分子有機化合物」の開発が強く求められている。本研究では、強いπ–π相互作用に起因するC3対称を有する新規なプロペラ型キラル化合物の不斉合成と光基礎物性の評価を目的した。 すなわち、ヘキサアザトリナフチレン(HATNA)を堅固なπ共役平面を有する中心核として選択し、その周辺に可動性が制限された芳香環部位を導入する。立体的に近い位置に芳香環を強制的に配置することで、分子内でより強いπ–π相互作用を誘起させ、その立体的な歪みに由来するC3対称な不斉空間を創出する。そこで今回報告者は、アリールアルキンを導入することで、空間的に接近する2つのアリール基間に強いπ-π 相互作用をもつ化合物を合成し、置換基による光基礎物性を調査した。3,6-Dibromobenzene-1,2-diamineとhexaketocyclohexaneの縮合環化により6臭化物を生成し、続くアルキンとの6連続薗頭カップリングで 6 つのアリールアルキニル基を導入した HATNA化合物の合成に成功した。アルキン上の置換基として置換フェニル基、ナフチル基、キノリル基、ピリジル基の検討を行い、溶液、固体状態での光学特性を測定し、可視光で吸収が確認され、波長365 nmの光照射で、強い蛍光を観測した。 今後得られた強い発光特性を有するC3対称化合物を光学分割し、キロプティカル特性を測定する予定である。

    遷移金属触媒を用いたC–C二重結合の異性化もよく知られたプロセスであり、特に、炭素鎖に沿って連続的に異性化することは、「チェーンウォーキング」と呼ばれ、この戦略は近年有機合成に利用されている。我々は、C–H活性化とチェーンウォークを融合させ、様々なアルケンを用いた遠隔官能基化の簡便な手法を実現した。配向基としてイミノ基を用い、イリジウム触媒の配位子としてジホスフィン配位子BINAPを用いた場合、官能基を末端に持つ直鎖アルキル鎖を、官能基を持つアルケンとの反応によってオルト位に設置することができた。本反応は、官能基耐性が高く、広い基質で適用可能であった。

    本研究では、アルキンを配向基かつ反応部位として用いるビフェニレンの炭素−炭素結合開裂を伴った[4+2]付加環化において、キラルなジカチオン性二価白金錯体が、極めて活性な触媒として機能することを見いだした。さらに、本触媒反応おいて、Pt(II)/(IV)のレドックスサイクルで、反応が進行していることを実験的、ならびに計算化学的な両面から確認した。2価白金錯体を用いる反応は、一般的に価数の変化を伴わない触媒サイクルが一般的であり、レドックスサイクルによる触媒反応の報告例はほとんどない。今後、Pt(II)/(IV)のレドックスサイクルで進行する新規な合成変換への利用が期待される。

    2020   大谷 卓

     View Summary

    ヘリセンとは非平面縮合多環式芳香族化合物の総称であり、らせん不斉を有することから、そのキロプティカル特性を活かした機能性有機材料としての利用が期待されている。しかし、炭素のみから構成されるカルボヘリセンは、一般に合成に多工程を要し、蛍光量子収率が低いことが課題であった。本研究では、ヘリセン骨格にヘテロ原子として窒素を複数導入したポリアザヘリセンに着目した。その結果、市販試薬から、超原子価ヨウ素を用いる酸化的カップリングを鍵反応として、僅か2〜3工程でポリアザ[5]-[9]ヘリセンの合成を達成した。さらにそれらの光基礎物性を評価したところ、ヘリセン類として比較的高い蛍光量子収率と円偏光発光特性を示した。

    炭素−ヘテロ原子結合の開裂を伴うカルボヘテロ原子化は、原子効率100%で炭素−炭素と炭素−ヘテロ原子結合を同時に形成できる理想的な合成変換である。報告者は、配向基としてさらなる合成変換可能なチオ基を用いた反応を総括的に検討しており、既にアルキンのアルキニルチオ化を達成した。今回、チオ基の配向性を利用したアルケニルチオ化、アリールチオ化への展開を行った。その結果、2-メチルチオフェニル基を有するアルケニルスルフィドに対して、カチオン性Rh触媒とジフェニルホスフィン配位子を用いることで、種々の末端アルキンに対するビニルチオ化、アリールチオ化が進行し、合成中間体としてビニルスルフィド類が得られた。

  • 炭素-炭素結合開裂を起点とした新規な多環式芳香族炭化水素の効率合成

    2018  

     View Summary

    遷移金属錯体による炭素-炭素結合開裂を起点とする反応は、比較的単純な化合物から複雑な炭素骨格を構築できる原子効率が高い合成変換である。炭素-炭素結合活性化の手法として最も汎用されるのが、小員環の環歪みの解消を駆動力とする方法であり、例えば、四員環のシクロブタジエンに2つのベンゼン環が縮環したビフェニレンは、典型的な基質である。本研究では、配向基かつ反応部位としてアルケン部位を有するビフェニレンを用いた分子内反応を検討した。その結果ロジウム触媒を用いることで、所望のより混み合った炭素−炭素結合が開裂し、引き続きアルケンが挿入することで分子内[4+2]付加環化反応が進行することを見出した。

    本研究は、ヘテロ元素を導入した縮合多環π共役系の中で、特に非平面π共役系を有する化合物とその光基礎物性の評価を目的とする。具体的には、環内に一つのヘテロ原子を有する共役七員環骨格であるヘテロピンに、3つベンゼン環が縮環したトリベンゾヘテロピンに注目した。報告者は既に、ロジウム触媒を用いた不斉[2+2+2]付加環化により、硫黄原子を有するトリベンゾチエピンの触媒的不斉合成を達成した。本研究では、イリジウム触媒を用いた脱水素型Si-H/C-Hカップリングを用いることにより、ケイ素を有するトリベンゾシレピンの触媒的合成法を見出した。さらに、構造解析、光学分割による不斉合成、熱的安定性について調査を行った。

  • 炭素-水素結合活性化を伴う触媒的不斉共役付加反応の開発

    2017   栗田 久樹, 小野田 早穂子

     View Summary

    炭素−水素結合の開裂を起点とする合成変換は、官能基の事前導入が不要であり、その事前導入した官能基に由来する副生成物が生成しないため、原子効率の点で理想的な合成変換である。一方、不活性な炭素−水素結合を開裂するためには、反応点に触媒を近づけるために配向基が重要である。実際に、遷移金属触媒による炭素−水素結合の活性化において配向基の導入により様々な形式の合成変換が報告されている。しかしながら炭素−水素結合活性化を起点とする不斉反応の報告例は未だ少ない。今回報告者は、イリジウム錯体と光学活性ホスフィンから調製される不斉触媒により、高エナンチオ選択的な不斉C-H共役付加反応を達成した。

     View Summary

    アミノ酸誘導体は、生命維持機能や生体調節機能に加え、生理活性や医薬品の部分構造に含まれるなど、それらの機能は多岐にわたっている。特に非天然のアミノ酸は医薬品のビルディングブロックとしての利用や、未知なる機能が期待されている。そこで我々は炭素-水素結合活性化を起点とし、キラルな4位置換γ-アミノ酸誘導体の不斉合成を目指した。その結果、カチオン性イリジウム錯体とキラル二座リン配位子から調製される触媒存在下、配向基としてピリジル基を導入したγ-ラクタムと種々のアルケンの反応が進行し、キラルなγ-ラクタム誘導体が得られた。引き続き、水素添加、還元で配向基の除去、加水分解によりキラルな4位置換γ-アミノ酸誘導体を得た。

  • エナンチオ選択的反応を用いた面不斉パラシクロファン配位子の創製

    2013  

     View Summary

     新規かつ種々の誘導体の合成が容易な不斉配位子群の合成手法の開発は、多彩な不斉炭素骨格の構築に直結する極めて重要な課題である。不斉配位子の不斉要素として、BINAPに代表される軸不斉、SDP、QuinoxP*に代表される中心不斉が挙げられる。一方、「面不斉」リン配位子として、二置換フェロセニル骨格を有する化合物が研究されており、市販の化合物も多い。さらに、面不斉「パラシクロファン骨格」を有する二座配位子としてPHANEPHOS (bis(diphenylphosphino)[2.2]paracyclophane)が市販されているが、BINAP誘導体や二置換フェロセン誘導体と比較して研究が立ち後れている。その理由は、効率的かつ汎用な不斉合成法が少ないのが一因である。 今回我々は、当研究室が開発した不斉オルトリチオ化による面不斉パラシクロファンの高エナンチオ選択的手法により、 [1,n]パラシクロファン骨格を有するモノホスフィン化合物、ならびにジホスフィン化合物を高鏡像体過剰率で不斉合成した。本法により、架橋部の炭素数、構造、あるいはリン上の置換基など、多彩な面不斉リン化合物を得ることが出来る。 さらに、これらの面不斉リン化合物の不斉配位子としての適用として、まず当研究室で開発したパラジウム触媒を用いる連続的不斉Sonogashiraカップリングの不斉配位子として用いた。その結果、これまでに検討した全てのリン化合物よりも高いエナンチオ選択性を達成した(最高90% ee)。また、同様にパラジウム触媒を用いる反応として、Suzukiカップリングを検討した。過去において、中程度のエナンチオ選択性であり、しかも塩基として有毒な水酸化タリウムを用いることが必須であったジクロロフェロセン化合物の非対称化による不斉Suzukiカップリングをモデル反応として検討した結果、通常の無機塩基である炭酸ナトリウムを用い、80% eeを越える高エナンチオ選択的にモノアリール化生成物が得られた。 上記の通り、我々が独自開発した手法により不斉合成したオリジナルなリン化合物の不斉配位子として有効性を実証できた。今後、パラジウム以外の金属触媒の不斉配位子として、さらにはそれ自体を不斉有機触媒として検討する予定である。

  • 光学活性メタラロセン化合物の触媒的不斉合成法の開発と応用

    2012  

     View Summary

     金属が2つのシクロペンタジエニル基によりサンドウィッチ状に挟まれたメタラロセン化合物の中で、金属が鉄であるフェロセンとその誘導体は、その特徴的な構造と化学的・熱力学的・酸化還元的安定性から様々な分野で応用されている。その代表例が不斉リン配位子であり、例えば、フェロセン骨格を持つキシリホス(xyliphos)は除草剤(S)-Metolachlorの年10000トン以上のスケールでの工業的な不斉合成に用いられており、工業的な利用に耐えうる数少ない不斉リン配位子の一つである。しかしながら、このようなキラルな1,2-二置換フェロセンの合成には、化学量論量の有機金属試薬を用いるジアステレオ選択的な手法が多く用いられていた。一方、当研究室ではこれまでにカチオン性イリジウム、ロジウム触媒を用いて配向性置換基を持つ反応基質の炭素-水素結合活性化反応を利用した炭素-炭素結合生成反応の開発を行った。そこで本研究では、配向性置換基を利用した炭素-水素結合の活性化により、直接的な炭素-炭素結合生成反応によって、フェロセン誘導体の合成およびその不斉合成を目指した。 配向基としてイミノ基を有するフェロセン用い、三価ロジウム触媒存在下、イソシアナートとの反応を試みたところ、イミノ基のα位がアミド化された二置換体フェロセン誘導体が得られた。反応条件の最適化の結果、対アニオンとしてテトラフルオロホウ酸(BF4)を用いることで、電子求引性あるいは供与性置換基を有するフェニルイソシアナート、あるいはアルキルイソシアナートとの反応が進行し、対応する二置換体フェロセン誘導体が得られた。 そこで次に、本系を不斉反応へ展開し、キラルな配向基としてオキサゾリン環を用いて検討を行った。その結果イミノ基を配向基とするフェロセンと同様にアリールイソシアナート、アルキルイソシアナートに対しても反応が進行した。また、いずれの反応においても生成物は単一のジアステレオマーとして得られ、特にパラクロロフェニルイソシアナートとの反応生成物は単結晶であり、X線による結晶構造解析により立体構造を確定できた。 上記のように、カチオン性ロジウム触媒を用いることにより、炭素―水素の直接的な官能基化によるキラル二置換フェロセン化合物の合成を達成した。今後、プロキラルなフェロセン化合物のエナンチオ選択的な不斉合成を目指す。

    2010  

     View Summary

     シクロファンとは、広義で芳香族化合物を含む大環状架橋型化合物である。これまで架橋構造により歪みをもつシクロファン類や、多数の環状構造を架橋部に有する複雑な骨格のシクロファン類の合成が達成された。近年では、シクロファン類のもつ機能性に注目が集まり、ホスト-ゲスト化学のゲスト化合物として多くの研究例がある。中でも、ベンゼン環のパラ位の2つの置換基を環構造で連結した化合物をパラシクロファンと言い、架橋鎖が短い場合にはベンゼン環が自由回転できないために、面不斉を生じ鏡像異性体が存在する。これまで既に、パラシクロファン化合物の面性キラリティを利用し、キラル認識剤、キラルポリマー、不斉配位子などとしての応用が報告されているが、それらは光学分割や不斉結晶化などで合成された。一方、パラシクロファン化合物のエナンチオ選択的不斉合成は僅か3例のみであり、しかも不斉収率の最高値は、我々が報告した79% eeであった。 そこで本研究では、ベンゼン環と架橋鎖を酸素原子により連結したヒドロキノン型のパラシクロファンを用い、酸素への配位を利用した不斉オルトリチオ化を検討した。その結果、sec-BuLiとキラルジアミン配位子であるsparteineを作用させたところ、高エナンチオ選択的にモノリチオ化が進行し、キラルなアリールリチウム試薬が得られた。さらに、過剰量のsec-BuLiを加えた場合、パラ位で位置選択的かつ高エナンチオ選択的(99% ee)にジリチオ化が進行し、C2対称を有するキラルなアリールジリチウム試薬が得られた。得られたキラルなモノリチオ化、ジリチオ化体を種々の求電子剤と反応させることにより、種々の長さの架橋鎖、種々の官能基を1つないし2つ有する面不斉パラシクロファンが極めて高不斉収率で得られた。

  • 不斉触媒と反応媒体の機能を兼ね備えた多機能分子の創製

    2009  

     View Summary

    「環境にやさしい化学 (Green Chemistry)」の達成が求められる今日、従来のように効率的に目的化合物を合成するだけでなく、反応、後処理、精製の全ての過程を通して環境負荷を低減させたシステムの構築が求められている。その対策として、(1) 等量反応から触媒反応へ、(2) 副生成物が少ない反応系の開発、(3) 回収再利用可能な反応媒体(溶媒)の利用、などが挙げられる。本研究では、遷移金属”触媒”を用いる反応において、”副生成物の低減化”を実現するC-H結合活性化反応、ならびに”反応媒体と不斉触媒を兼ね備えた”機能性分子の創製を目指した。 C-H結合の活性化を伴う直接的な変換反応は、従来の官能基を起点とする反応と異なり、反応点への官能基の導入が不要でありことから反応工程数を減ずることができ、さらには反応の進行に伴って生成する官能基に由来した副生成物も低減できる。報告者は、カチオン性イリジウム錯体に注目し、アリールケトンのカルボニル基への配位により、そのオルトのsp2C&#8211;H結合活性化を起点する種々の触媒反応を開発した。すなわち、アリールケトンのアルケニル化、さらには引き続く環化反応によりベンゾフルベンの合成を達成した。また、分子内に求核付加を受ける別のカルボニル基を導入することで、分子内環化反応が進行し、4-置換ベンゾヘテロールの合成を達成し、またアミドに隣接したsp3C&#8211;H結合のアルケニル化も達成した。 一方、反応媒体に不斉触媒能を付与する試みとして、報告者が開発したイリジウム触媒によるエン型反応において、イリジウム錯体の対アニオンとして天然物由来の安価な不斉源を検討した。すなわち、反応媒体としてイオン性液体への展開を視野に入れ、種々のアミノ酸塩を検討したが、反応は進行するものの、不斉誘起されなかった。

    2006  

     View Summary

     報告者は既に、キラルイリジウム触媒を用いる対称ジインと対称モノアルキンとのエナンチオ選択的分子間[2+2+2]付加環化反応を報告した。本反応は、軸不斉をもつC2対称キラルテルアリール化合物を高収率かつ極めて高い不斉収率で与える。これまでに報告したジインのカップリングパートナーは、両プロパルギル位に酸素官能基を有するアルキンのみであった。そこで本研究で一つあるいは二つの官能基をもつ種々のモノアルキンの検討、さらには炭素-炭素多重結合に替え、炭素-ヘテロ元素多重結合をもつ化合物を検討した。 まずプロパルギル位に、一つの水酸基、アミノ基、ホスフィニル基を有するアルキンとジインとの反応を行った結果、いずれの場合も環化生成物であるテルアリール化合物が、単一ジアステレオマー、かつほぼ一方の鏡像異性体のみで得られた。さらに、アミノ基と水酸基をともに有するアルキンでも反応が進行し、ほぼ光学的純粋なアミノアルコールが得られた。これらの結果は、エナンチオ選択的[2+2+2]付加環化反応により種々の官能性基を有する軸不斉化合物が得られるたこと意味する。 次に、ジカルボニル化合物とジインの反応を検討した結果、ロジウム錯体を用いることにより、ヘテロ[2+2+2]付加環化反応が進行することを見いだした。1,6-ジインとピルビン酸エステルの反応では、環化体として二環性2H-ピラン化合物の生成を確認できたが、単離精製する過程で不安定な2H-ピラン環が開環し、ジエノン体として得られた。不斉反応へ展開するため1,7-ジインを用いたところ、二環性2H-ピラン化合物を単離同定することができた。現在のところ中程度(50% ee)の不斉収率を達成できたが、今後エナンチオ選択性を向上させ、不斉ヘテロ[2+2+2]付加環化反応による不斉炭素を有する複素環化合物の合成を目指す。

  • 無溶媒反応を指向した多機能型高分子不斉触媒の創製

    2004  

     View Summary

    「環境にやさしい化学 (Green Chemistry)」の理論化と実践が求められる今日、反応媒体として基質に対し大量に用いられる有機溶媒が大きな問題となっている。本研究は、不斉触媒と反応媒体の2つの機能を兼ね備えた高分子触媒の創製が最終目標である。溶媒を用いないことで、生成物と触媒の分離精製が容易になるだけでなく、触媒の再利用が可能であり、環境負荷が小さく、かつ経済効率の高い不斉触媒システムの構築が可能となる。 本年度は、予備的実験として、近年注目されている新反応媒体の一つである有機イオン性液体中での触媒反応を検討した。有機イオン性液体は、(1) 大きな装置が不要、(2) 安価かつ取扱いが容易、(3) 目的に合わせて違う骨格をもつ物質の合成が可能、などの利点をもつ。 その結果、イリジウム触媒を用いる1,6-エンインの環化異性化反応が、通常用いる有機溶媒であるトルエン中より、有機イオン性液体であるイミダゾリウム塩中で加速され、高効率的に生成物を与え、また反応媒体の再利用も可能であることを見いだした。これまで、水素化反応、カップリングなどの遷移金属錯体を用いる触媒反応で、イオン性液体が利用された例は知られているが、環化異性化反応では初めての例である。 現在、無溶媒化反応へのステップとして、イリジウム錯体のイミダゾリウム塩への担持、さらには不斉反応への検討を行っている。

  • 環境負荷を考慮した光学活性環状化合物合成法の開発

    2003  

     View Summary

    「環境にやさしい化学 (Green Chemistry)」を達成する上で、反応媒体として基質に対し大量に用いられる有機溶媒が大きな問題となっている。一方不斉触媒反応では、立体選択性(不斉収率)、反応効率(TOF)、触媒活性(TON)などの点で実用性の高い反応系を構築するために、溶媒選択は極めて重要なファクターである。本研究は、新たな反応媒体の探索という従来のアプローチではなく、反応媒体を必要としない無溶媒型触媒システムの開発、特に不斉触媒系に焦点をあて、研究を行った。 その結果報告者は、Pauson-Khand型反応で無溶媒型不斉触媒反応を見いだした。Pauson-Khand型反応は、一酸化炭素挿入を伴うアルケン-アルキンカップリング反応であり、シクロペンテノン骨格を構築する有用な反応のひとつである。従来の不斉Pauson-Khand型反応は、有機溶媒を用い、一酸化炭素源としてCOガスを用いており、報告者も、同条件下、キラルイリジウム錯体により、高エナンチオ選択的な反応を既に発表している。そこで、遷移金属錯体によるカルボニル化合物の脱カルボニル化反応に着目し、アルデヒドのカルボニル部位を一酸化炭素源として活用する触媒系を検討した。その結果、無溶媒条件下、a,b-不飽和アルデヒドであるシンナムアルデヒドを用い、光学活性ロジウム触媒を用いることで、高エナンチオ選択的な不斉カルボニル化反応が進行し、高い鏡像体過剰率のシクロペンテノン誘導体が得られた。 従来、遷移金属錯体を用いる反応では、触媒サイクルを効率的に回すために、反応溶媒の使用が必要とされてきた。本研究により、反応系の巧みな設計が無溶媒系の構築を可能にすることがわかったことから、遷移金属触媒を用いる他の有用な合成反応における無溶媒系の設計を目指す。
