Refraining from any particular ranking order, I am particularly grateful for my friends Mandeep, Taylor, and Marcos. Even though we have been separated for most of the time, I am incredibly grateful for my family supporting me from a distance. Pa en Ma, ook al begrijpen jullie over het algemeen geen zak van wat ik doe, ik waardeer jullie continue enthousiasme, liefde, en steun gedurende deze tijd ontzettend. Floor en Guus, ik waardeer het ontzettend dat jullie ons zijn komen bezoeken in de VS en vond het super om deel uit te maken van jullie verloving. Daarnaast ben ik natuurlijk supertrots op de kleine Morris! Jens en Jim, jullie zijn natuurlijk een stelletje luie eikels, maar ik waardeer het toch ontzettend dat jullie voor mijn verjaardag naar de VS zijn gekomen en af en toe wat hebben laten horen, kwaliteit boven kwantiteit. Verder wil ik mijn 7 oom en goede vriend Peter bedanken voor al onze gesprekken (deze waardeer ik enorm), en de goede tijd die we gehad hebben in Canada (Carla natuurlijk ook!). Vertrekken naar een ander land brengt veel onzekerheden met zich mee en de vraag of je oude vrienden je nog herkennen na 4.5 jaar is een spannende. Ik ben dankbaar voor alle vrienden waarmee ik nog steeds contact onderhoud ondanks de afstand, en specifiek erg dankbaar voor Joost, Marijn, Britta, Gaston, en Marleen. De laatste persoon die ik wil bedanken is Maike, samen zijn we naar de VS vertrokken om dit avontuur tegemoet te gaan. We hebben aardig wat te verduren gekregen als gevolg van het verhuizen naar een nieuw land, in combinatie met lange reistijden en ontzettend drukke schema’s. Deze vallen echter compleet in het niet bij alle mooie ervaringen die we hier hebben opgedaan. Zonder jou had ik deze PhD waarschijnlijk nooit gehaald, zonder jouw onvoorwaardelijke steun, enthousiasme, en liefde, was ik nooit gekomen waar ik nu ben, hiervoor ben ik je enorm dankbaar. 8 EXPLORATION OF CIS-1,2-DIAMINOCYCLOHEXANE-BASED CONFORMATIONALLY LOCKED CHIRAL LIGANDS IN ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS Abstract By Carim van Beek University of the Pacific 2020 Natural products have been demonstrated to be of great significance to the pharmaceutical industry in the development of new drugs and medicine. Unfortunately, synthetic approaches to obtain these natural products often prove increasingly challenging due to the complexity of synthesizing the target drug in the proper stereochemistry. The availability of enantioselective reactions can play a pivotal role in overcoming this challenge, yielding access to optically pure intermediates and products. Chiral ligands based on a trans-1,2- diaminocyclohexane motif are often employed for this purpose and their complexes with transition metals have been demonstrated to act as efficient chiral catalysts in asymmetric reactions. In contrast, studies involving cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane derivatives as chiral catalysts are strongly underrepresented. We have designed and performed the synthesis of an axially chiral conformationally locked cis-1,2-diamine scaffold, conveniently designed for further derivatization into more complex structures. A key step in this synthesis was the chiral resolution of a racemic intermediate, realized through both chemical and enzymatic means in a comparative study. Utilizing the newly gained optically pure primary diamine scaffold, a library of chemically 9 diverse secondary diamine ligands has been synthesized and characterized through NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and chiral HPLC. Assignment of the absolute configuration within the cis-1,2-diamine scaffold was realized through single-crystal X-ray crystallography experiments on one of the synthetic intermediates. The synthesized ligands have been evaluated for their potential to function as chiral catalysts in the asymmetric Henry reaction and asymmetric transfer hydrogenation. As a function of both steric and electronic structural variation, a range of catalytic activities and enantioselectivities in the Henry reaction were observed. The ligands proved to be less suitable for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation with only a select number of ligands catalyzing the reaction, and a single example resulting in a decent enantioselectivity. We additionally explored the possibility of incorporating a chemical switch into the scaffold, responsible for switching the axial chirality of the molecule. As a consequence of inverting the axial chirality, the configuration of the potential reaction product in asymmetric synthesis would also be inverted. To this extent, we performed the synthesis of a novel specifically designed crown ether, dicyclohexeno-18-crown-6, furnished with two π-bonds in the cyclohexane rings, allowing for additional modification into more advanced functionalized structures. 10 TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Tables ................................................................................................................................. 12 List of Figures ...............................................................................................................................

    Chapter 8. Chiral Catalysts José M. Fraile, José I. García, José A. Mayoral 1. The Origin of Enantioselectivity in Catalytic Processes: the Nanoscale of Enantioselective Catalysis. Enantiomerically pure compounds are extremely important in fields such as medicine and pharmacy, nutrition, or materials with optical properties. Among the different methods to obtain enantiomerically pure compounds, asymmetric catalysis1 is probably the most interesting and challenging, in fact one single molecule of chiral catalyst can transfer its chiral information to thousands or even millions of new chiral molecules. Enantioselective reactions are the result of the competition between different possible diastereomeric reaction pathways, through diastereomeric transition states, when the prochiral substrate complexed to the chiral catalyst reacts with the corresponding reagent. The efficiency of the chirality transfer, measured as enantiomeric excess [% ee = (R−S)/(R+S) × 100], depends on electronic and steric factors in a very subtle form. A simple calculation shows that differences in energy of only 2 kcal/mol between these transition states are enough to obtain more than 90% ee, and small changes in any of the participants in the catalytic process can modify significantly this difference in energy. Those modifications may occur in the near environment of the catalytic centre, at less than 1 nm scale, but also at longer distances in the catalyst, substrate, reagent, solvent, or support in the case of immobilized catalysts. This is the reason because asymmetric

Abstract This thesis deals with the design and synthesis of ligands for asymmetric catalysis: palladium catalyzed allylic alkylations, and rho- dium and iridium catalyzed hydrogenations of olefins. Chirally flexible phosphepine ligands based on biphenyl were synthesized and their properties were studied. The rotation barrier for configurationally flexible phosphepines was determined by NMR spectroscopy. The ratio of the atropisomers was shown to depend on the group bound to phosphorus. Only complexes with two homochiral ligands bound to the metal center were observed upon complexation with Rh(I). It was shown that one diastereomer of the flexible ligand exhibits higher activity but lower selectivity than its diastereomer in the rhodium catalyzed hydrogenation of methyl α-acetamido- cinnamate. These ligands were also tested in nickel catalyzed silabora- tions. Chiral P,N-ligands with pseudo-C2 and pseudo-CS symmetry based on pyrrolidines-phospholanes or azepines-phosphepines were synthesized and studied in palladium catalyzed allylic alkylations.

Abstract Background: Enzymes have found extensive and growing application in the field of chemical organic synthesis and resolution of chiral intermediates. In order to stabilise the enzymes and to facilitate their recovery and recycle, they are frequently immobilised. However, immobilisation onto solid supports greatly reduces the volumetric and specific activity of the biocatalysts. An alternative is to form self-immobilised enzyme particles. Results: Through addition of protein cross-linking agents to a water-in-oil emulsion of an aqueous enzyme solution, structured self-immobilised spherical enzyme particles of Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase were formed.

  • Distinction of Enantiomers by NMR
    REVIEWS Disinction of enantiomers by NMR spectroscopy using chiral orienting media Burkhard Luy Abstract | NMR spectroscopy is a very important analytical tool in modern organic and inorganic chemistry. Next to the identification of molecules and their structure determination, it is also used for the distinction of enantiomers and the measurement of enantiomeric purity. This article gives a brief review of the techniques being developed for enantiomeric differentiation by virtue of chiral alignment media and their induction of enantiomerically dependent anisotropic NMR parameters like residual dipolar couplings. An overview of existing chiral alignment media, a brief introduction into the basic theory and measurement of the various anisotropic parameters, and several example applications are given. 1.
