Development of Chiral Spiro P-N-S Ligands for Iridium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of β-Alkyl-β-Ketoesters
Angewandte Chemie International Edition by Deng-Hui Bao, Hui-Ling Wu, Chao-Lun Liu, Jian-Hua Xie, Qi-Lin Zhou
The chiral tridentate spiro P-N-S ligands (SpiroSAP) were developed, and their iridium complexes were prepared. Introduction of a 1,3-dithiane moiety into the ligand resulted in a highly efficient chiral iridium catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation of β-alkyl-β-ketoesters, producing chiral β-alkyl-β-hydroxyesters with excellent enantioselectivities (95–99.9 % ee) and turnover numbers of up to 355 000.
Bulkyness is the key: New chiral tridentate spiro P-N-S ligands (SpiroSAP) bearing a conformationally constrained 1,3-dithiane moiety were developed. Their iridium catalysts showed excellent enantioselectivities and activity (TON up to 355 000) for asymmetric hydrogenation of β-alkyl-β-ketoesters.
