Three configurationally homogeneous diastereomers of the linear hexa(tertiary phosphine) Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)P(Ph)CH(2)CH(2)P(Ph)CH(2)CH(2)P(Ph)CH(2)CH(2)P(Ph)CH(2)CH(2)PPh(2) (hexaphos) have been isolated in enantiomerically pure form, namely (R,S,S,R)-, (R,S,S,S)-, and (S,S,S,S)-hexaphos. The strongly helicating (R,S,S,R)-(-) form of the ligand combines with copper(I) ions to generate by stereoselective self-assembly the P enantiomer of a parallel helicate of the type [Cu(3)(hexaphos)(2)](PF(6))(3), which has been characterized by x-ray crystallography. Theoretical modeling of the cation indicates that it is the relationship between the helicities of the two 10-membered rings containing the three copper ions, each of which has the twist-boat-chair-boat conformation, and the configurations of the three chiral, tetrahedral copper stereocenters of P configuration that determines the stereochemistry of the parallel and double alpha-helix conformers of the double-stranded trinuclear metal helicate.

Atroposelective Synthesis of Axially Chiral N-Arylpyrroles by Chiral-at-Rhodium Catalysis.

A transformation of fluxional into configurationally stable axially chiral N-arylpyrroles was achieved with a highly atroposelective electrophilic aromatic substitution catalyzed by a chiral-at-metal rhodium Lewis acid. Specifically, N-arylpyrroles were alkylated with N-acryloyl-1H-pyrazole electrophiles in up to 93 % yield and with up to >99.5 % ee, and follow-up conversions reveal the synthetic utility of this new method.

A molten metal is an atomic liquid that lacks directional bonding and is free from chemical ordering effects. Experimentally, liquid metals can be undercooled by up to ∼20% of their melting temperature but crystallize rapidly in subnanosecond time scales at deeper undercooling. To address this limited metastability with respect to crystallization, we employed molecular dynamics simulations to study the thermodynamics and kinetics of the glass transition and crystallization in deeply undercooled liquid Ag.

Over the last two decades, radical chemistry of propargyl systems was developed into a potent synthetic field providing access to classes of organic compounds that are otherwise hardly accessible. The levels of diastereoselection thus achieved (up to 100%) are unprecedented for free propargyl radicals, as well as for organic radicals π-bonded to transition metals. These advances were enabled by the coordination of the triple bond to a Co2(CO)6 core that precluded an acetylene-allene rearrangement, stabilized requisite propargyl cations, created conformational constraints at the carbon-carbon bond formation site, configurationally altered the acetylenic moiety allowing for 1,3-steric induction upon the newly formed stereocenters, increased bulkiness of propargyl triads thus controlling the spatial orientation of converging radicals, and allowed for α-to-γ projection of the reaction site and alteration of the transiency of radical intermediates.

This review describes our recent works on the diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of anti-β-hydroxy-α-amino acid esters using transition-metal-chiral-bisphosphine catalysts. A variety of transition metals, namely ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), iridium (Ir), and nickel (Ni), in combination with chiral bisphosphines, worked well as catalysts for the direct anti-selective asymmetric hydrogenation of α-amino-β-keto ester hydrochlorides, yielding anti-β-hydroxy-α-amino acid esters via dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) in excellent yields and diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The Ru-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α-amino-β-ketoesters via DKR is the first example of generating anti-β-hydroxy-α-amino acids.

The γ-selective, palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of sodium (Z)-2-butenyldiethylsilanolate with a variety of aromatic bromides is reported. The protocol provides high yields (73-94%) and site selectivity (γ/α, 25:1 → > 99:1) in the coupling of electron-rich, electron-poor, sterically hindered, and heteroaromatic bromides. The use of a configurationally homogeneous (Z)-silanolate, nontransferable ethyl groups, and a sterically bulky trialkylphosphonium tetrafluoroborate salt (t-BuCy(2)PH(+)BF(4)(-)) prepared directly from the corresponding air-stable phosphine•borane adduct are critical to the success of the method.
