The atropisomeric compound 2,2'-di(pyridin-2-yl)-1,1'-binaphthalene (1) has been chlorinated, via its bis-N-oxide 2, at the 4 and 6 pyridine ring positions so as to generate the three isomeric species: 2,2'-bis(6-chloropyridin-2-yl)- (3a), 2-(4-chloropyridin-2-yl)-2'-(6-chloropyridin-2-yl)- (3b) and 2,2'-bis(4-chloropyridin-2-yl)-1,1'-binaphthalene (3c). The dichlorinated compounds underwent Ni-catalysed Kumada cross-coupling with MeMgI to give the methylated pyridine isomers: 2,2'-bis(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)- (4a), 2-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)-2'-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)- (4b) and 2,2'-bis(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)-1,1'-binaphthalene (4c). The enantiomerically pure forms of the six novel ligands (3a-3c and 4a-4c), prepared from enantiomerically pure 2,2'-di(pyridin-2-yl)-1,1'-binaphthalene (1), were tested in asymmetric catalysis, but proved to be no better and in most cases poorer than parent 1. The coordination of the ligands to Zn and Pd fragments has been explored and compared with the parent compound 1 so as to rationalise the negative effect of pyridine substitution on asymmetric induction in the zinc-catalysed allylation of benzaldehyde.

Key Steps

: A new synthesis of the 2,6-naphthyridine alkaloid 4-methyl-2,6-naphthyridine from Antirrhinum majus has been developed. Key steps are a regioselective oxidation of 3-bromo-4,5- dimethylpyridine to the corresponding 4-formyl derivative, and the annulation of the second pyridine ring by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling using (E)-2-ethoxyvinylboronic acid pinacol ester as a masked acetaldehyde equivalent. This protocol gives the alkaloid in four steps starting from commercially available 3,4-dimethylpyridine in 15% overall yield. This annulation protocol should be useful for the synthesis of other condensed pyridines as well.

P-Chiral (S,RP)-2-{1'-[butyl(phenyl)phosphanyl]ferrocen-1-yl}-4-isopropyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole (6) and (S,SP)-2-{1'-[butyl(phenyl)phosphanyl]ferrocen-1-yl}-4-isopropyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole (7) were prepared by the procedure developed by Jugé, starting from enantiomerically pure (-)- or (+)-ephedrine and dichloro(phenyl)phosphine. Compounds 6 and 7 were examined for asymmetric induction in the Pd-catalyzed reaction of rac-1,3-diphenylallyl acetate with dimethyl malonate. The best results were obtained with 7 (98% ee), while 6 gave 82% ee.

AbstractAs an important platform molecule, atropisomeric QUINOL plays a crucial role in the development of chiral ligands and catalysts in asymmetric catalysis. However, efficient approaches towards QUINOL remain scarce, and the resulting high production costs greatly impede the related academic research as well as downstream industrial applications. Here we report a direct oxidative cross-coupling reaction between isoquinolines and 2-naphthols, providing a straightforward and scalable route to acquire the privileged QUINOL scaffolds in a metal-free manner. Moreover, a NHC-catalyzed kinetic resolution of QUINOL N-oxides with high selectivity factor is established to access two types of promising axially chiral Lewis base catalysts in optically pure forms. The utility of this methodology is further illustrated by facile transformations of the products into QUINAP, an iconic ligand in asymmetric catalysis.

The synthesis of new tridentate, isoquinoline-derived ligands, involving successive Suzuki cross-coupling reactions, is described. We were able to resolve 1-[3-(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-isoquinolin-1-yl]-naphthalen-2-ol via molecular complexation with N-benzylcinchonidinium chloride, whereas 1,3-bis(2-hydroxy-naphthalen-1-yl)-isoquinoline was resolved by chromatographic separation of its epimeric camphorsulfonates. Their barrier to rotation about the central biaryl axis was evaluated via racemization studies. Application of enantiopure 1,3-bis(2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)-isoquinoline in the addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes proceeded in moderate yield but without asymmetric induction. A new tridentate ligand, 4-tert-butyl-2-chloro-6-[1-(2-hydroxymethyl-naphthalen-1-yl)-isoquinolin-3-yl]-phenol, was prepared in good yield and resolved by semipreparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Its application in the addition of diethylzinc to a range of aromatic aldehydes proceeded in near perfect enantioselectivities at low ligand loadings of 1 mol %.

Publications covering a new easy metal-free functionalization of pyridinoids (pyridines, quinolines, isoquinolines, acridine) under the action of the system of electron-deficient acetylenes (acetylenecarboxylic acid esters, acylacetylenes)/P-nucleophiles (phosphine chalcogenides, H-phosphonates) are reviewed. Special attention is focused on a SNH reaction of the regioselective cross-coupling of pyridines with secondary phosphine chalcogenides triggered by acylacetylenes to give 4-chalcogenophosphorylpyridines. In these processes, acetylenes act as three-modal adjuvants (i) activating the pyridine ring towards P-nucleophiles, (ii) deprotonating the P-H bond and (iii) facilitating the nucleophilic addition of the P-centered anion to a heterocyclic moiety followed by the release of the selectively reduced acetylenes (E-alkenes).
