Enzymatic reaction, as an environmentally friendly approach, has made great progress producing commodity chemicals comparing to the conventional metallo/organo catalysis. However, the reaction compatibility is not satisfactory. The development of biomimetic catalysis balancing both strategies for the green and broad application in synthesis is desirable. Here, we report the design and synthesis of a chiral diamine catalyst fulfilling this requirement. Asymmetric addition reactions using this ligand in water were demonstrated and the corresponding products were produced in excellent yields and enantiomeric ratios. This pluripotent ligand has also shown good reactivity/enantioselectivity on a number of representative reactions in both green and organic solvents. We anticipate that the ligand would allow further development of other catalysts for important yet challenging green stereoselective transformations.

A planar-chiral pillar[5]arene with cyclohexylmethoxy side chains and a pendant diphenylphosphine was prepared and used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric reactions. Chirality transfer from the planar-chiral pillar[5]arene scaffold to the chiral biaryl moiety was demonstrated by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and asymmetric catalysis.

Recently, a novel chiral cubane-based Schiff base ligand was reported to yield modest enantioselectivity in the Henry reaction. To further explore the utility of this ligand in other asymmetric organic transformations, we evaluated its stereoselectivity in cyclopropanation and Michael addition reactions. Although there was no increase in stereocontrol, upon computational evaluation using both M06L and B3LYP calculations, it was revealed that a pseudo six-membered ring exists, through H-bonding of a cubyl hydrogen to the copper core. This decreases the steric bulk above the copper center and limits the asymmetric control with this ligand.

AbstractHierarchically ordered chiral crystals have attracted intense research efforts for their huge potential in optical devices, asymmetric catalysis and pharmaceutical crystal engineering. Major barriers to the application have been the use of costly enantiomerically pure building blocks and the difficulty in precise control of chirality transfer from molecular to macroscopic level. Herein, we describe a strategy that offers not only the preferred formation of one enantiomorph from racemic solution but also the subsequent enantiomer-specific oriented attachment of this enantiomorph by balancing stereoselective and non-stereoselective interactions. It is demonstrated by on-demand switching the sign of fan-shaped crystal aggregates and the configuration of their components only by changing the molar mass of tailored polymeric additives. Owing to the simplicity and wide scope of application, this methodology opens an immediate opportunity for facile and efficient fabrication of one-handed macroscopic aggregates of homochiral organic crystals from racemic starting materials.
