<p>Simultaneous control of multiple selectivity is a powerful means for constructing structurally discrete, functionalized building blocks, yet it has remained a challenging task in organic synthesis and catalysis. We have tackled this objective by taking advantage of the unique ability of <i>P</i>-spiro chiral tetraaminophosphonium ion to control transition-state structures of the target reaction. Namely, the use of its conjugate base, chiral iminophosphorane, as an organic base catalyst allowed for the rigorous control of not only enantioselectivity but also additional selectivity associated with other factors, such as geometry, regiochemistry, diastereomer formation, and reaction pathway, in various carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. Theoretical investigation revealed key elements to achieve the multiple selectivity control, which would provide a basis for the development of related and more effective catalytic systems.</p>

<p>The effectiveness of a catalytic amount of bromide ions for significantly accelerating the palladium-catalyzed allylation of carbonyl compounds with allylic carbonates is reported. In particular, the utilization of an ammonium–phosphine hybrid ligand bearing a bromide ion is uniquely effective for promoting allylation under mild, base-free conditions, thus obviating the need to use polar solvents and external strong Brønsted bases.</p>

<p>Strigolactones have diverse functions as plant hormones and as ecological signals to communicate with soil microbes. Strigolactones are also exploited by parasitic plants, including noxious parasitic weeds called <i>Striga hermonthica</i>, as germination cues that enable efficient parasitism to their host plants. Recent understanding for the mechanism of strigolactone perception by α/β-hydrolase receptors has provided opportunities to dissect the diverse functions with synthetic strigolactones. Here, we introduce the design principle of the synthetic strigolactones, which relies on a hybrid of two functions encoded in the two substructures, ABC-ring and D-ring. The principle discussed here has been applied to develop a <i>Striga</i>-selective suicide germination stimulant acting at femtomolar-range.</p>

Conventional chiral ligands rely on the use of a covalently constructed, single chiral molecule embedded with coordinative functional groups. Here, we report a new strategy for the design of a chiral ligand for asymmetric transition-metal catalysis; our approach is based on the development of an achiral cationic ammonium-phosphine hybrid ligand paired with a chiral binaphtholate anion. This ion-paired chiral ligand imparts a remarkable stereocontrolling ability to its palladium complex, which catalyses a highly enantioselective allylic alkylation of α-nitrocarboxylates. By exploiting the possible combinations of the achiral onium entities with suitable coordinative functionalities and readily available chiral acids, this approach should contribute to the development of a broad range of metal-catalysed, stereoselective chemical transformations.

Highly enantioselective conjugate addition of 2-unsubstituted azlactone 3 to various nitroolefins 4 was accomplished by the selective utilization of supramolecularly assembled, chiral tetraaminophosphonium aryloxide-arylhydroxide 1a·[2a]2 as a requisite catalyst. The key to this achievement is the polarity dependence of the molecular associations of type 1·[2]n and the crucial role of the proximal arylhydroxide 2 as a proton donor. The present method offers an attractive route to various optically active amino carbonyl compounds including β2-amino acids.

Research to develop structurally discrete, chiral supramolecular catalysts for asymmetric organic transformations has met with limited success. Here, we report that a chiral tetraaminophosphonium cation, two phenols, and a phenoxide anion appear to self-assemble into a catalytically active supramolecular architecture through intermolecular hydrogen bonding. The structure of the resulting molecular assembly was determined in the solid state by means of x-ray diffraction analysis. Furthermore, in solution the complex promotes a highly stereoselective conjugate addition of acyl anion equivalents to {alpha},β-unsaturated ester surrogates with a broad substrate scope. All structural components of the catalyst cooperatively participate in the stereocontrolling event.

The generation of chiral tetraaminophosphonium dialkyl phosphite has been detected by low-temperature NMR analysis, and its synthetic potential as a remarkably reactive P-nucleophile has been successfully demonstrated by its application to the establishment of highly efficient and enantioselective hydrophosphonylation of various aldehydes. A systematic evaluation of the organic-base-dependent generation of the requisite ion pair and its reactivity and selectivity as a P-nucleophile reveals that the structure of the cationic conjugate acid of the base is a key element both for substantial generation of phosphite anions with prominent nucleophilicity and for rigorous stereocontrol. This study provides not only experimental demonstration of the importance of the phosphite tautomer in the PC bond formation process but also a general yet valuable framework for the molecular design of even superior chiral organic base catalysts.

Inspired by the considerable difference of catalytic activity and stereocontrolling ability between the conformationally rigid, homo- and heterochiral quaternary ammonium bromides 1, conformationally flexible, N-spiro chiral quaternary ammonium bromides of type 4 have been designed and synthesized. Reliable procedures for the preparation of the appropriately substituted biphenyl subunits have been established by the repeated use of ortho magnesiation–halogenation as a key synthetic tool. The relationship between the structure of achiral biphenyl moiety and the reactivity and selectivity of 4 has been evaluated in the asymmetric alkylation of glycinate Schiff base 2 under typical phase-transfer conditions, leading to the identification of 4l as an optimal catalyst structure to exhibit an excellent enantiocontrol in the reactions with various alkyl halides. The molecular structure of 4l was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis and its unique behavior in solution was examined by a variable-temperature 1H NMR study. These investigations uncovered that the observed high chiral efficiency originated from the efficient asymmetric phase-transfer catalysis of homochiral-4l, which rapidly equilibrated with heterochiral-4l of low catalytic activity and stereoselectivity.

The selective monoalkylation of glycine tert-butyl ester aldimine Schiff base 3 has been realized in high chemical yield with excellent enantioselectivity under mild liquid–liquid phase-transfer conditions by the use of binaphthyl-derived chiral quaternary ammonium bromides 7 and 8 as catalysts. This achievement demonstrates that 3 can be used as a cost-effective substrate for the preparation of optically active α-alkyl-α-amino acid derivatives by chiral phase-transfer catalysis.

The phase-transfer-catalyzed, highly enantioselective cyanation of aldimines using aqueous KCN has been realized based on the molecular design of chiral quaternary ammonium iodide bearing a stereochemically defined tetranaphthyl backbone. A wide range of aliphatic aldimines, including those having -tert-alkyl substituents, is tolerated by the present system. This study represents a novel approach for the asymmetric Strecker-type reactions, which utilizes chiral phase-transfer catalysts for practical access to various unusual, optically pure -amino acids.

Highly enantioselective alkylation of protected glycine diphenylmethyl (Dpm) amide 1 and Weinreb amide 10 has been realized under phase-transfer conditions by the successful utilization of designer chiral quaternary ammonium salts of type 4 as catalyst. Particularly, remarkable reactivity of the chiral ammonium enolate derived from 1b and 4c allowed the reaction with less reactive simple secondary alkyl halides with high efficiency and enantioselectivity. An additional unique feature of this chiral ammonium enolate is its ability to recognize the chirality of -branched primary alkyl halides, which provides impressive levels of kinetic resolution and double stereodifferentiation during the alkylation, allowing for two - and -stereocenters to be controlled. Combined with the subsequent reduction using LiAlH4 in cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME), this system offers a facile access to structurally diverse optically active vicinal diamines. Furthermore, the optically active -amino acid Weinreb amide 11 can be efficiently converted to the corresponding amino ketone by a simple treatment with Grignard reagents. In addition, reduction and alkylation of the optically active -amino ketone into both syn and anti -amino alcohols with almost complete relative and absolute stereochemical control have been achieved. With (S,S)- and (R,R)-4 in hand, the present approach renders both enantiomers of -amino amides including Weinreb amides readily available with enormous structural variation and also establishes a general and practical route to vicinal diamines, -amino ketones, and -amino alcohols with the desired stereochemistry.

Highly enantioselective Michael addition of silyl nitronates to cyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones has been accomplished by the utilization of N-spiro C2-symmetric chiral quaternary ammonium bifluoride 1 as an efficient catalyst, offering a new route to the enol silyl ethers of optically active γ-nitro ketones. The synthetic utility of this transformation has been demonstrated by the diastereoselective derivatizations of the optically active enol silyl ethers to the corresponding α-substituted cyclic ketones having three consecutive stereochemically defined stereocenters.

Practical asymmetric synthesis of functionalized aza-cyclic -amino acid derivatives possessing quaternary stereocenters has been achieved by the phase-transfer-catalyzed alkylation of 2 or 3 using chiral quaternary ammonium bromide 1 as catalyst. Subsequent reduction and alkylation of the 3-keto carbonyl moiety of 4 proceeded with complete diastereochemical control to afford the corresponding -hydroxy aza-cyclic -amino acid derivatives having stereochemically defined consecutive quaternary carbon centers.

The asymmetric phase-transfer catalytic alkylation of peptides has been achieved by the use of designed C2-symmetric chiral quaternary ammonium bromide 1 as catalyst. Excellent stereoselectivities were uniformly observed in the alkylation with a variety of alkyl halides and the efficiency of the transmission of stereochemical information was not affected by the side-chain structure of the preexisting amino acid residues. This method also enables an asymmetric construction of noncoded ,-dialkyl--amino acid residues at the peptide terminal. Since this chirality can be efficiently transferred to the adjacent amino acid moiety, our approach provides a general procedure not only for the highly stereoselective terminal functionalization of peptides but also for the sequential asymmetric construction of unnatural oligopeptides, which should play a vital role in the peptide-based drug discovery process.

A series of (2,7-disubstituted-1,8-biphenylenedioxy)bis(dimethylaluminum) (2) has been readily prepared in situ by treatment of the requisite 2,7-disubstituted-1,8-biphenylenediol (1) with Me3Al (2 equiv) in CH2Cl2 at room temperature; this primarily relies on the successful establishment of a new synthetic procedure of 1 starting from inexpensive m-anisidine. Evaluation of 2 as a bidentate organoaluminum Lewis acid has been performed by the reduction of ketonic substrates using Bu3SnH as a hydride source in comparison to the conventional monodentate Lewis acid dimethylaluminum 2,6-xylenoxide (11), uncovering the significantly high activation ability of 2 toward carbonyl. Particularly, (2,7-dimethyl-1,8-biphenylenedioxy)bis(dimethylaluminum) (2a) exerted the highest reactivity, which has also been emphasized in the Mukaiyama aldol reaction. The structure of the bidentate Lewis acid 2 was unambiguously determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 2g possessing a bulky 3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl substituent, revealing the rigid dimeric assembly in the solid state. The double electrophilic activation of carbonyl substrate by 2a has been supported by low-temperature 13C NMR analysis as well as theoretical study using the Gaussian 98 program. Moreover, unique stereoselectivity has been observed in the 2a-promoted Mukaiyama Michael addition, and highly chemoselective functionalization of carbonyl compounds in the presence of their acetal counterparts has been realized using 2a. Finally, the effectiveness of 2a for the activation of ether functionality has been demonstrated in the Claisen rearrangement of allyl vinyl ethers.

A novel carbonyl alkynylation has been accomplished based on utilization of the Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley (MPV) reaction system. The success of the MPV alkynylation crucially depends on the discovery of the remarkable ligand acceleration effect of 2,2-biphenol. For example, the alkynylation of chloral (2c) with the aluminium alkoxide 6(R = Ph), prepared in situ from Me3Al, 2,2-biphenol and 2-methyl-4-phenyl-3-butyn-2-ol (1a) as an alkynyl source, proceeded smoothly in CH2Cl2 at room temperature to give the desired propargyl alcohol 3ca in almost quantitative yield after 5 h stirring. The characteristic feature of this new transformation involving no metal alkynides can be visualized by the fact that the alkynyl group bearing keto carbonyl was transferred successfully to aldehyde carbonyl without any side reactions on keto carbonyl. Although the use of (S)-1,1-bi-2-naphthol and its simple analogues was found to be unsuitable for inducing asymmetry in this reaction, design of new chiral biphenols bearing a certain flexibility of the biphenyl axis led to satisfactory results in terms of enantioselectivity as well as reactivity.

γ,γ-Dialkyl-γ-amino-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds were found to undergo selective skeletal rearrangement under the influence of modified organoaluminum Lewis acid to give unsymmetrically substituted pyrroles through the rapid Paal–Knorr type cyclization upon acidic hydrolysis. This new structural reorganization of amino carbonyl compounds triggered by the 1,2-alkyl shift provides a unique entry to the synthesis of pyrroles, an important class of heterocycles with diverse biological activities.

Chiral organoaluminum complex 1 efficiently catalyzed the asymmetric hetero-ene reaction of commercially available 2-methoxypropene (2) with aldehydes under mild conditions to give the corresponding β-hydroxymethyl ketones 3 in good to excellent chemical yields with high enantiomeric excesses. The asymmetric catalysis of 1 was further applied to the carbonyl addition of methallylsilanes, where exclusive formation of the optically active allylic silanes 5 was achieved.

A highly efficient direct asymmetric aldol reaction of a glycinate Schiff base with aldehydes has been achieved under mild organic/aqueous biphasic conditions with excellent stereochemical control, using chiral quaternary ammonium salt 1b as a phase-transfer catalyst. The initially developed reaction conditions, using 2 equiv of aqueous base (1% NaOH (aq)), exhibited inexplicably limited general applicability in terms of aldehyde acceptors. The mechanistic investigation revealed the intervention of an unfavorable yet inevitable retro aldol process involving the chiral catalyst. On the basis of this information, a reliable procedure has been established by use of a catalytic amount of 1% NaOH (aq) and ammonium chloride, which tolerates a wide range of aldehydes to afford the corresponding anti--hydroxy--amino esters almost exclusively in an essentially optically pure form.

Highly enantioselective conjugate addition of nitroalkanes to alkylidenemalonates has been accomplished for the first time by the utilization of efficient phase-transfer catalysis of N-spiro C2-symmetric chiral quaternary ammonium bromide 1. For instance, simple mixing of nitropropane (2, R1 = Et), diisopropyl benzylidienemalonate (3, R2 = Ph), Cs2CO3 (1 equiv), and (S,S)-1 (1 mol %) in toluene at 0 C for 2.5 h gave rise to the desired conjugate addition product 4 (R1 = Et, R2 = Ph) quantitatively (anti/syn = 86:14) with 97% ee (anti isomer). The applicability of this procedure has been demonstrated with other representative alkylidenemalonates and nitroalkanes. Since 4 can be readily transformed into the corresponding -amino acid hydrochloride 5 without loss of diastereo- and enantioselectivity, the present method provides a new and practical access to various optically active -amino acid derivatives.

Synthesis and X-ray crystallographic characterization of fluorotetraphenylbismuth (1) has been achieved for the first time, revealing that the bismuth center of 1 adopts a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry with three ipso carbons at the equatorial sites and one ipso carbon and fluorine atom at the apical sites. Contrary to the previous common understanding of this type of organobismuth(V) compound, 1 was found to be thermally stable, maintaining its amphiphilic property. Hence, 1 can be used as an off-the-shelf reagent in organic synthesis, and its utility has been clearly demonstrated in applications to the efficient -phenylation of ketones and esters. For instance, simple mixing of 1 and 1-trimethylsiloxy-3,4-dihydronaphthalene in THF at -40 C and stirring at room temperature for 10 min gave rise to 2-phenyl-1-tetralone almost quantitatively without formation of the polyphenylated products. In addition to the generality of this method, applicability of our approach to the selective -alkenylation of carbonyl compounds was also demonstrated by the use of fluoro(2-phenylethenyl)tris(p-tolyl)bismuth (2) as a representative reagent. These results imply the vast potential of organobismuth(V) compounds of type 1 and 2 as useful precursors of a wide variety of pentavalent organobismuth compounds based on the utilization of the eminent fluorine-silicon interaction or the inherent basicity of the fluorine atom.

Designer chiral quaternary ammonium bifluoride 1 has been prepared, and both its catalytic and its chiral efficiency have been clearly demonstrated by achieving the first catalytic asymmetric nitroaldol reaction of silyl nitronate with aldehydes. For instance, the reaction of trimethylsilyl nitronate 2 (R1 = Me) with benzaldehyde (R2 = Ph) in THF in the presence of (S,S)-1 (2 mol %) proceeded smoothly at -78 C, giving the corresponding nitroaldol adduct 3 (R1 = Me, R2 = Ph) in 92% isolated yield (anti/syn = 92:8) with 95% ee (anti isomer). The method was found to be successfully applicable to other aromatic aldehydes and silyl nitronates, and a high level of anti selectivity and enantiomeric excess was constantly observed. This finding should lead to the further development of fluoride ion-catalyzed asymmetric carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions.

A unique asymmetric skeletal rearrangement of symmetrically ,-disubstituted -amino aldehydes has been accomplished for the first time using a chiral organoaluminum Lewis acid 1. For instance, treatment of (S)-2,2'-bis(trifluoromethanesulfonylamino)-1,1'-binaphthyl with Me3Al (1.0 equiv) in toluene at room temperature for 15 min and at 110 C for an additional 15 min produced (S)-1, and a subsequent reaction with -amino aldehyde 2a (R = CH2Ph) at -78 C for 4 h and at -40 C for 12 h resulted in the smooth rearrangement to the zwitterionic iminium intermediate A, which furnished the -hydroxy ketone 3a (R = CH2Ph) in 93% isolated yield with 95% ee (S) after acidic hydrolysis. This result, together with other representative examples, clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of the present method for the hitherto difficult asymmetric synthesis of acyloins. Furthermore, we found that the treatment of the in situ generated A with DIBAH afforded the corresponding anti amino alcohol exclusively without loss of enantiomeric excess. Our approach casts light on the previously unexplored yet potential utility of -amino aldehydes as synthetic building blocks and also provides a new entry to optically active -hydroxy ketones and 1,2-amino alcohols.

A series of C2-symmetric chiral quaternary ammonium bromides 10 and 11 have been designed as a new, purely synthetic chiral phase-transfer catalyst, and readily prepared from commercially available optically pure 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol as a basic chiral unit. The details of the synthetic procedures of each requisite chiral binaphthyl subunit have been disclosed, and the structures of the assembled N-spiro chiral quaternary ammonium bromides 11a and 11f were unequivocally determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The reactivity and selectivity of these chiral ammonium bromides as chiral phase-transfer catalysts have been evaluated in the asymmetric alkylation of the benzophenone Schiff base of glycine ester 7 under mild liquid-liquid phase-transfer conditions, and the optimization of the reaction variables (solvent, base, and temperature) has also been conducted. Further, the scope and limitations of this asymmetric alkylation have been thoroughly investigated with a variety of alkyl halides, in which the advantage of the unique N-spiro structure of 11 and dramatic effect of the steric as well as the electronic properties of the aromatic substituents on the 3,3'-position of one binaphthyl moiety have been particularly emphasized. Finally, the potential synthetic utility of the present method for the practical asymmetric synthesis of structurally diverse natural and unnatural -amino acids has been demonstrated by its successful application to the facile asymmetric syntheses of (S)-N-acetylindoline-2-carboxylate, a key intermediate in the synthesis of the ACE inhibitor, and L-Dopa (L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) ester and its analogue.

Highly enantioselective Michael addition of silyl nitronates to ,-unsaturated aldehydes has been accomplished by the utilization of designer N-spiro C2-symmetric chiral quaternary ammonium bifluoride 1 as an efficient catalyst, providing direct access to both optically active -nitro aldehydes, a very useful precursor to various complex organic molecules including aminocarbonyls, and their enol silyl ethers, a Mukaiyama donor of potential synthetic utility for further selective transformations. For instance, the reaction of trimethylsilyl nitronate 2 (R1 = Me) with trans-cinnamaldehyde (R2 = Ph, R3 = H) in toluene in the presence of (R,R)-1 (2 mol %) proceeded smoothly at -78 C to give the desired enol silyl ether 3 (R1 = Me, R2 = Ph, R3 = H) in 90% isolated yield (anti/syn = 83:17) with 97% ee (anti isomer), and simple treatment of 3 thus obtained with 1 N HCl in THF at 0 C afforded the corresponding -nitro aldehyde 4 quantitatively without loss of diastereo- and enantioselectivity.

Phase-transfer catalysis has been successfully utilized for the Neber rearrangement of simple ketoxime sulfonates. For instance, treatment of (Z)-1a with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (1.2 equiv), tetrabutylammonium bromide (5 mol %) and MeOH (10 equiv) in toluene-50% KOH aqueous solution (volume ratio = 3:1) at 0 C for 2 h, and subsequent benzoylation followed by acidic hydrolysis afforded the protected -amino ketone 2a in 80% isolated yield. On the basis of this finding, asymmetric Neber rearrangement with ketoxime (Z)-1a was examined under phase-transfer conditions using structurally rigid, C2-symmetric chiral quaternary ammonium bromide 3 as catalyst. The desired 2a was obtained in 80% yield and 51% ee. This represents the first experimental demonstration of the substantial involvement of anion pathway in the Neber rearrangement of simple ketoxime sulfonates. Importantly, the reaction with (E)-1a under otherwise similar conditions afforded racemic 2a in 61% yield. Moreover, enhanced enantioselectivity (63% ee) was observed in the rearrangement of the oxime sulfonate derived from (Z)-1b, and notably, use of mesitylene in place of toluene further increased the enantioselectivity to 70% ee. Our approach provides not only a new mechanistic insight but also an opportunity for extending the full synthetic utility of this classical yet useful rearrangement.
