For instance, known N P classes of P-chiral phosphine ligands offer good to excellent NHAc NHAc 2 Me t-Bu 2 2 1 R * R enantiocontrol in Ru- and Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation reactions. R R1 [Rh(nbd)2]BF4 (1 mol %) The one limitation associated with these ligands is their sensitivity R3 R3 H2 (3 atm), MeOH, 6 h to air, which has impeded widespread applicability in bench-top chemistry. Imamoto and co-workers have addressed this deficiency Scheme 1 QuinoxP* Ligands through the development of QuinoxP*, which is based on an 3 electron-withdrawing quinoxaline architecture. Entry R1 R2 R3 ee (%) (config) Sigma-Aldrich is pleased to offer both enantiomers of QuinoxP* a 1 CO2Me Ph H 99.9 (R) for the research market.† The reactivity profile of these innovative, chiral ligands is covered below and highlights the impressive 2 CO2Me 4-AcO-3-MeOC6H3 H 99.6 (R) breadth of valuable transformations mediated by QuinoxP*. These 3 Me H CO2Me 99.7 (R) powerfully efficient ligands exhibit high levels of enantiocontrol 4 Me CO Me H 99.2 (R) in synthetic transformations ranging from metal-catalyzed 2 asymmetric 1,4-additions of arylboronic acids to enantioselective 5 Ph H H 99.9 (R) 3 alkylative ring opening to asymmetric hydrogenations. It is 6 1-adamantyl H H 96.3 (S) worth noting that QuinoxP* is not oxidized at the stereogenic a The reaction was completed within 1 h. phosphorus center on standing at ambient temperature in air for more than 9 months. Table 1 Imamoto has also gone to great lengths to develop t-Bu Me enantiomerically pure P-chiral ligands for industrially useful N P transformations such as asymmetric hydrogenation. Impressively, 3 mol % a diverse array of prochiral amino acid and amine substrates were N P hydrogenated with great efficiency to yield highly enantiopure Me t-Bu amine derivatives (Scheme 1). These experiments were carried [RhCl(C2H4)2]2 (3 mol %) O Ph O out at room temperature in methanol under low pressures of PhB(OH)2, KOH, dioxane/H2O, 1 h hydrogen (3 atm). All hydrogenation reactions were complete 97%, 99% ee in 6 hours and with enantiomeric excesses ranging from 96 to 99.9%. Dramatic stereochemical reversal, consistent with the Scheme 2 results observed with the related (S,S)-tert-Bu-BisP* ligands,4,5 was obtained when 1-acetylamino-1-adamantylethene was t-Bu Me hydrogenated to afford the S-configuration amine with >96% N P enantioselectivity (Table 1). 5 mol % O Imamoto and co-workers have also exploited the high activity N P OH rder: 1.800.325.3010 R1 1 2 Me t-Bu R R of the QuinoxP* ligand in rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective O 2 1 PdCl (cod) (5 mol %), R Zn, CH Cl , rt 1,4-additions of arylboronic acids to a,b-unsaturated carbonyl R 2 2 2 2 R1 substrates.3 High yields of the addition products were obtained by running the reactions between 40 and 50 ºC (Scheme ). The exceptional enantiocontrol exerted by this Rh(I)-catalyzed system is Scheme 3 evident in the robust performance when compared to the use of BINAP as the chiral ligand.6 Entry R1 R2 Time (h) Yield (%)a ee (%) (config) Additionally, Imamoto and co-workers have succeeded in developing a Pd-catalyzed C–C bond-forming reaction, which 1 H Me 2 90 95.6 (1S,2S) displays high enantioselectivities with both dimethyl- and 2 H Et 15 88 97.6 (1S,2S) diethylzinc (Scheme 3, Table ). This alkylative ring-opening 3 F Me 2 90 93.8 (1S,2S) methodology benefits from simply premixing PdCl2(cod) and QuinoxP* for 2 hours at room temperature, leading to a highly a Isolated yield. T e c h n i c a l active catalyst. This catalyst system affords excellent yields of Table 2 the ring-opened products and selectivities that rival the highest reported for this transformation. These results, when combined with the outstanding methodologies presented above, indicate that QuinoxP* is broadly useful for a variety of asymmetric 3 metal-catalyzed transformations.
