Abstract:
One of the main methods for producing enantiomerically pure compounds is metal asymmetric catalysis. An important step in this strategy is the design and preparation of chiral ligands. Among them, new chiral ligands derived from carbohydrate are presented. These ligands are applied to four asymmetric catalytic reactions: Asymmetric Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution, Asymmetric Cu-catalyzed allylic alkylation, Asymmetric Cu-catalyzed 1,4-conjugate addition and Asymmetric Ni-catalyzed 1,2-addition. Chapter 3. Asymmetric Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution. This chapter contains two sections on the development and application of new phosphite-phosphoroamidite and diphosphoroamidite ligand libraries in the asymmetric Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution reactions. The first section describes the synthesis and application of a phosphitephosphoroamidite ligand library in the asymmetric Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution of several substrates with different electronic and steric properties. This chapter also discusses the synthesis and characterization of the Pd-π-allyl intermediates to provide greater insight into the origin of the enantioselectivity. The second section includes the development and application of a new diphosphoroamidite ligand library in asymmetric allylic substitution. Chapter 4. Asymmetric Cu-catalyzed allylic alkylation. This chapter contains one section, which discusses the preliminary results in the application of phosphite-phosphoroamidite, diphosphoroamidite (both ligand libraries developed in Chapter 3) and monophosphororamidite ligands in the asymmetric Cu-catalyzed allylic alkylation reactions. It also describes the synthesis of a new monophosphoroamidite ligand library. Chapter 5. Asymmetric Cu-catalyzed 1,4-conjugate addition. This chapter contain
