Chiral phosphoric acids and alkaline earth metal phosphates chemistry

Liang, Tao 10 July 2014 (has links)
Asymmetric synthesis and catalysis is one of the leading research areas in chemistry society, for its versatility and efficiency in obtaining chiral molecules that found the vast majority in natural active compounds and synthetic drugs. Developing asymmetric catalytic methodology is at the frontier in both industrial and academic research laboratories. Enantioselective organocatalysis has emerged as a powerful synthetic tool that is complementary to metal-catalyzed transformations. The development of chiral phosphoric acid and metal phosphate as catalysts has been a breakthrough in recent years. Chiral phosphoric acids have been shown to be powerful catalysts in many organic transformations. Moreover, chiral metal phosphates, which formed by simply replacing the proton in phosphoric acid with metals, have introduced new catalytic activations and broaden the scope of phosphoric acids. This thesis details new highly enantioselective chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed Pinacol rearrangement and robust alkaline phosphates catalytic system, which utilizes novel carbonyl activation. The Pinacol rearrangement has long been known to be difficult to control in terms of regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. The initial studies found that indolyl-diol compounds can be treated with chiral phosphoric acids to afford the Pinacol rearrangement with high regio- and enantioselectivity. Over 16 chiral phosphoric acids were screened, and it was found an H8-BINOL-phosphoric acid variant with 1-naphthyl groups at 3 and 3' position was the excellent catalyst. This asymmetric transformation is tolerant toward variety of substituents both on the indole ring and migrating groups. During the study, it was found that different ways to generate the catalyst had critical effect on this catalytic transformation. Only those phosphoric acids washed with HCl after column chromatography afforded the rearrangement products with high enantioselectivity. And those without treating with HCl were found contaminated by alkaline metals. These "contamination" catalysts were also found active with carbonyl activations. A highly enantioselective catalytic hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of alpha-keto esters has been developed with chiral alkaline metal phosphates. A calcium 1-naphthyl-BINOL phosphate was found to be the optimum catalyst. A large range of alpha-keto esters as well as isatins can be applied in this alkaline phosphates catalytic system with high efficiency and selectivity. The structure of the catalyst is detailed for the first time by X-ray crystal structure analysis. A proposed Transition state model is provided based on the catalyst crystal structure and Raman spectroscopy analysis. This methodology was further developed with an asymmetric Mukaiyama-Michael addition of beta,gamma-unsaturated alpha-keto ester. The best catalyst was found to be a magnesium chiral phosphate. And the transformation was found capable of tolerating a wide variety of beta,gamma-unsaturated alpha-keto esters.

Asymmetric Transformations Catalyzed By Chiral BINOL Alkaline Earth Metal Phosphate Complexes

Nimmagadda, Sri Krishna 26 October 2016 (has links)
Small molecule hydrogen bond donors have emerged as versatile catalysts in asymmetric synthesis. Within this class, chiral BINOL phosphoric acid is regarded as one of the pioneer catalysts used in several asymmetric transformations. The ability of the catalyst to activate the substrates could be controlled in two different ways. (1) Dual activation/bifunctional activation of substrate by hydrogen bond interactions or ion pairing with phosphoric acid or (2) By forming chiral BINOL phosphate metal complex that could significantly alter the interactions in chiral space. In particular, chiral alkaline earth metal phosphate complexes have unique advantages as catalysts owing to the ubiquitous availability of alkaline earth metals, strong Brønsted basicity of their counterions, mild but significant Lewis acidity of the metal and their ability to coordinate at multiple reactive sites due to large ionic radius. Chapter 1 summarizes the recent development of alkaline earth metal complexes in asymmetric catalysis. My thesis dissertation is focused on the application of chiral alkaline earth metal phosphate complexes in novel asymmetric reactions. In Chapter 2, we disclosed an efficient asymmetric one-pot synthesis of chiral 1,3-oxazolidines and chiral 1,3-oxazinanes. Chiral oxazolidines and oxazinanes are widely used as auxiliaries in asymmetric transition metal catalysis and also key structural motifs in natural products with biological activities. We developed a new synthetic method for chiral 1,3-oxazolidines which follows the enantioselective addition of alcohols to imines catalyzed by chiral 3,3’-(triisopropylphenyl)-derived BINOL magnesium phosphate to form hemiaminal intermediate, which then undergoes mild base mediated intramolecular nucleophilic substitution to afford highly enantioselective 1,3-oxazolidines and 1,3-oxazinanes in good yields. In Chapter 3, we developed the first catalytic enantioselective desymmetrization process for the synthesis of novel axially chiral cyclohexylidene oxime ethers. Even though these molecules were found to be optically active in 1910, methods to synthesize these molecules are scarce. We have developed an efficient desymmetrization process of 4-phenyl cyclohexanones with phenoxyamines catalyzed by chiral BINOL strontium phosphate complex to afford highly enantioselective products. We then extended this methodology to the dynamic kinetic resolution of 2-substituted cyclohexanones to form chiral 2-substituted cyclohexyl oximes in good enantioselectivities, as demonstrated in Chapter 4. We further demonstrated the utility of these compounds by converting them to chiral 2-aryl cyclohexylamines which are important synthetic intermediates.

Biomass reactions on heterogeneous catalysts : computational studies on surface determination and reactivity / Modélisation de l'état de surface et de la réactivité de catalyseurs hétérogènes pour l'information de la biomasse

Gu, Qingyi 21 June 2019 (has links)
Dans le contexte de la valorisation de la biomasse par catalyse hétérogène, la chimie théorique est essentielle pour guider la détermination de la nature des sites actifs en combinaison avec des caractérisations expérimentales. Ensuite, le mécanisme de réaction peut être étudié pour déterminer l’état de transition et intermédiaire déterminant la vitesse et ensuite concevoir de meilleurs catalyseurs in silico. Nous avons mis en œuvre cette approche dans plusieurs réactions impliquant des alcools qui jouent un rôle clé dans le passage du pétrole à la biomasse comme source de matière première pour les produits chimiques de commodités ou spécialités. Tout d'abord, nous nous sommes concentrés sur l'oxydation des alcools en phase liquide par l'oxygène, une réaction qui nécessite généralement un environnement alcalin, ce qui nuit à l'économie d’atomes du processus car il génère le sel carboxylate au lieu de l'acide carboxylique. Nous avons proposé un modèle d'interface métal / eau basique incluant l'adsorption d'anion hydroxyde. Cet anion charge la surface métallique et modifie son activité catalytique. Ce modèle a tout d’abord été validé en comparant l’activité prédite de Au et de Pt en présence et en l’absence de base, puis a été utilisé pour étudier l’oxydation d’éthoxylates d’alcool par des bimétalliques. Ensuite, nous sommes passés à la déshydratation en phase gazeuse d’alcools en C3 et C4 en utilisant des catalyseurs à base de phosphate. La modélisation des surfaces s’est basée sur des caractérisations expérimentales. La couverture moléculaire de l'eau à la surface en fonction de la pression et de la température a été établie à l'aide de la thermodynamique ab initio. Les simulations de spectres infrarouges d'adsorption de CO, NH3 et C2H2 nous ont permis d'identifier les sites acido-basiques qui jouent un rôle important dans l'investigation du mécanisme de réaction qui a suivi. / In the context of biomass valorization by heterogeneous catalysis, computational chemistry is key to provide guidance to establish the nature of the active sites in combination with experimental characterizations. Then, the reaction mechanism can be studied to determine the rate determining transition state and intermediate and further design in silico better catalysts. We implemented this approach in several reactions involving alcohols that are key in the shift from a petroleum chemical feedstock to a biomass-based feedstock. Firstly, we focused on liquid phase alcohol oxidation by oxygen, a reaction that generally requires an alkaline environment, which is detrimental to the atom economy of the process since it generates the carboxylate salt instead of the carboxylic acid. We proposed a model of metal/basic water interface that includes the adsorption of hydroxide anion. It charges the metallic surface and modifies its catalytic activity. This model was first validated comparing the predicted activity of Au and Pt in presence and in absence of a base, and then used oxidation of alcohol ethoxylates by bimetals. Then, we switched to gas phase dehydration of C3 and C4 alcohols using phosphate-based catalysts. The modeling of the surfaces was based on experimental characterizations. The molecular coverage of water on the surface in function of the pressure and temperature was established using ab initio thermodynamic. The simulations of infrared spectra of CO, NH3 and C2H2 adsorption allowed us to identify the acido-basic sites which play an important role in the reaction mechanism investigation that followed.
