ABSTRACTThe application of heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis to fine chemicals synthesis is discussed. The asymmetric synthesis of naproxen, a non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug, using a novel, heterogeneous, chiral catalyst is used as an example to illustrate the feasibility to industrial application.

AbstractMagnesium (Mg) is a cheap, non-toxic, and recyclable alkaline earth metal that constitutes about 2% weight in the Earth’s crust. The use of magnesium catalysts to forge chiral moieties in molecules is highly attractive. Based on our work in recent years, we describe the current progress in the development of in situ generated magnesium catalysts and their application in asymmetric synthesis. In this perspective, a critically concise classification of in situ generated magnesium catalytic modes, with relevant examples, is presented, and representative mechanisms of each category are discussed. Building on the established diverse strategies, one can foresee that more innovative and structurally creative magnesium catalysts that are generated in situ will be developed to overcome more formidable challenges of catalytic enantioselective reactions.1 Introduction2 Magnesium Catalysts Generated in Situ from Chiral Ligands Containing Dual Reactive Hydrogens3 Magnesium Catalysts Generated in Situ from Monoanionic Chiral Ligands4 Bimetallic and Polymetallic Magnesium Catalysts Assembled in Situ5 Summary and Outlook

Chiral amines are widely used as catalysts in asymmetric synthesis to activate carbonyl groups for α-functionalization. Carbonyl catalysis reverses that strategy by using a carbonyl group to activate a primary amine. Inspired by biological carbonyl catalysis, which is exemplified by reactions of pyridoxal-dependent enzymes, we developed an N-quaternized pyridoxal catalyst for the asymmetric Mannich reaction of glycinate with aryl N-diphenylphosphinyl imines. The catalyst exhibits high activity and stereoselectivity, likely enabled by enzyme-like cooperative bifunctional activation of the substrates. Our work demonstrates the catalytic utility of the pyridoxal moiety in asymmetric catalysis.
