Binaphthyl-based chiral sulfonimide (CSI) is demonstrated for the first time to be an efficient, strong Brønsted acid in asymmetric organocatalysis. A series of CSIs were synthesized and screened in the asymmetric Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indoles with imines. Good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities have been achieved. It was proved that it was crucial to wash the CSI catalyst with HCl before use.

In this study, new chiral ionic liquids based on the non-protein amino acid L-carnitine as cationic chiral counterpart and several anions (bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide (NTf), L-lactate or Cl) as counterions were synthesized. Moreover, three different salts based on L-carnitine were also synthesized and the other three were commercially acquired and used for comparison. The synthesized ionic liquids and salts were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis.

Hypercoordinate iodine has evolved as an impressive class of catalysts for various organic transformations. Extension of this idea to asymmetric applications, such as in the asymmetric difunctionalization of styrene or its derivatives, constitutes an important reaction. In this study, the mechanism and origin of stereoinduction in styrene diamination, with a sulfonimide (HNMs) as the diaminating agent and iodoresorcinol (((iPr)N(CO)-CH(Me)-O)Ar-I) based chiral hypercoordinate iodine as the catalyst, are investigated using density functional theory calculations.

Synthesis of Tertiary and Quaternary Amine Derivatives from Wood Resin as Chiral NMR Solvating Agents.

Molecules

November 2015

Department of Chemistry, University of Helsinki, A.I. Virtasen aukio 1, P. O. Box 55, FI-00014, Helsinki 00100, Finland.

Chiral tertiary and quaternary amine solvating agents for NMR spectroscopy were synthesized from the wood resin derivative (+)-dehydroabietylamine (2). The resolution of enantiomers of model compounds [Mosher's acid (3) and its n-Bu₄N salt (4)] (guests) by (+)-dehydroabietyl-N,N-dimethylmethanamine (5) and its ten different ammonium salts (hosts) was studied. The best results with 3 were obtained using 5 while with 4 the best enantiomeric resolution was obtained using (+)-dehydroabietyl-N,N-dimethylmethanaminium bis(trifluoromethane-sulfonimide) (6).

Recently, chiral ionic liquids (ILs) have drawn more and more attention in chiral separation by capillary electrophoresis (CE). In this paper, two chiral ILs based on amino acid derivatives, L-alanine and L-valine tert butyl ester bis (trifluoromethane) sulfonimide, were applied for the first time in CE to evaluate their potential synergistic effects with classical chiral selectors (β-cyclodextrin derivatives) for enantiomeric separation. As observed, improved separation of tested drug enantiomers was obtained with the presence of chiral ILs compared to the conventional β-cyclodextrin derivatives separation system.

We developed a practical synthesis of optically pure 3,3'-diaryl-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-disulfonic acids (i.e., (R)- or (S)-3,3'-Ar2-BINSAs) from the parent chiral sulfonimides via stepwise N-S bond cleavage of the sulfonimides and the resultant sulfonamides.
