Enantioselective synthesis of tunable chiral pyridine–aminophosphine ligands and their applications in asymmetric hydrogenation
Literature Information
Youran Liu, Fei Chen, Yan-Mei He, Chenghao Li
A small library of tunable chiral pyridine–aminophosphine ligands were enantioselectively synthesized based on chiral 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline scaffolds, which were obtained in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities via ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-(pyridin-2-yl)quinolines. The protocol features a wide substrate scope and mild reaction conditions, enabling scalable synthesis. These chiral P,N ligands were successfully applied in the Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of benchmark olefins and challenging seven-membered cyclic imines including benzazepines and benzodiazepines. Excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivity (up to 99% ee and >20 : 1 dr), and/or unprecedented chemoselectivity were obtained in the asymmetric hydrogenation of 2,4-diaryl-3H-benzo[b]azepines and 2,4-diaryl-3H-benzo[b][1,4]diazepines.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
