RESUMO
An efficient redox deracemization of the phosphonic ester substituted 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-one (DHPM) derivatives is described. The one-pot deracemization strategy consisted of the oxidization to destroy the stereocenter center and the following asymmetric transfer hydrogenation to regenerate the chiral carbon center with the vicinal phosphonic ester group, providing a series of optically active phosphonate substituted DHPMs with up to 96% ee.
RESUMO
Chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of 2-hydroxypyrimidines has been successfully realized using Hantzsch ester or dihydrophenanthridine as the hydrogen source, furnishing the chiral 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1 H)-ones (DHPMs) with excellent yields and enantioselectivities of ≤99%. Notably, a novel kind of chiral DHPMs with an alkyl stereogenic center can be prepared through highly chemoselective transfer hydrogenation.
RESUMO
A facile access to optically active cyclic ureas was developed through palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of pyrimidines containing tautomeric hydroxy group with up to 99 % ee. Mechanistic studies indicated that reaction pathway proceed through hydrogenation of C=N of the oxo tautomer pyrimidin-2(1H)-one, acid-catalyzed isomerization of enamine-imine, and hydrogenation of imine pathway. In addition, the chiral cyclic ureas are readily converted into useful chiral 1,3-diamine and thiourea derivatives without loss of optical purity.
RESUMO
A concise deracemization of racemic secondary and tertiary amines with a tetrahydroisoquinoline core has been successfully realized by orchestrating a redox process consisted of N-bromosuccinimide oxidation and iridum-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation. This compatible redox combination enables one-pot, single-operation deracemization to generate chiral 1-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines with up to 98% ee in 93% yield, offering a simple and scalable synthetic technique for chiral amines directly from racemic starting materials.

Aryl boronic acids can be monofluoromethylated under nickel catalysis. The utility of this method is demonstrated by the monofluoromethylation of a borylated and acyl-protected derivative of the statin drug ezetimibe. Mechanistic investigations indicate that a fluoromethyl radical is involved in the Ni(I)/Ni(III) catalytic cycle.

An efficient iridium-catalyzed hydrogenation of 4,6-disubstituted 2-hydroxypyrimidines has been achieved, giving chiral cyclic ureas with excellent diastereoselectivities and up to 96% ee of enantioselectivities. In the presence of the in situ generated hydrogen halide, the equilibrium of the lactame-lactime tautomerism of 2-hydroxypyrimidine is more toward the oxo form with lower aromaticity, which effectively improves the reactivity to facilitate hydrogenation. Moreover, the cyclic ureas could be readily converted into chiral 1,3-diamine derivatives without loss of optical purity.
RESUMO
A facile method has been developed for the synthesis of chiral piperazines through Ir-catalyzed hydrogenation of pyrazines activated by alkyl halides, giving a wide range of chiral piperazines including 3-substituted as well as 2,3- and 3,5-disubstituted ones with up to 96% ee. The high enantioselectivity, easy scalability, and concise drug synthesis demonstrate the practical utility.
RESUMO
A chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic amines, quinolin-3-amines, was successfully developed with up to 99% ee. To supplement our previous work on the Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-alkyl substituted quinolin-3-amines, a number of 2-aryl substituted substrates were reduced to provide a series of valuable chiral exocyclic amines with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities.
