  • rhodium catalyzed enantioselective Cyclopropanation of electron deficient alkenes
    Chemical Science, 2013
    Co-Authors: Hengbin Wang, Djamaladdin G Musaev, David M Guptill, Adrian Varela Alvarez, Huw M. L. Davies
    Abstract:

    The rhodium-catalyzed reaction of electron-deficient alkenes with substituted aryldiazoacetates and vinyldiazoacetates results in highly stereoselective Cyclopropanations. With adamantylglycine derived catalyst Rh2(S-TCPTAD)4, high asymmetric induction (up to 98% ee) can be obtained with a range of substrates. Computational studies suggest that the reaction is facilitated by weak interaction between the carbenoid and the substrate carbonyl but subsequently proceeds via different pathways depending on the nature of the carbonyl. Acrylates and acrylamides result in the formation of Cyclopropanation products while the use of unsaturated aldehydes and ketones results in the formation of epoxides.

  • d2 symmetric dirhodium catalyst derived from a 1 2 2 triarylcyclopropanecarboxylate ligand design synthesis and application
    ChemInform, 2012
    Co-Authors: Changming Qin, Vyacheslav Boyarskikh, Jorn H Hansen, Kenneth I Hardcastle, Djamaladdin G Musaev, Huw M. L. Davies
    Abstract:

    The new rhodium catalyst (I) is prepared and highly enantioselective Cyclopropanations, tandem Cyclopropanation/Cope rearrangements and a combined C—H functionalization/Cope rearrangement are achieved using this catalyst.

  • d2 symmetric dirhodium catalyst derived from a 1 2 2 triarylcyclopropanecarboxylate ligand design synthesis and application
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2011
    Co-Authors: Changming Qin, Vyacheslav Boyarskikh, Jorn H Hansen, Kenneth I Hardcastle, Djamaladdin G Musaev, Huw M. L. Davies
    Abstract:

    Dirhodium tetrakis-(R)-(1-(4-bromophenyl)-2,2-diphenylcyclopropanecarboxylate) (Rh2(R-BTPCP)4) was found to be an effective chiral catalyst for enantioselective reactions of aryl- and styryldiazoacetates. Highly enantioselective Cyclopropanations, tandem Cyclopropanation/Cope rearrangements and a combined C–H functionalization/Cope rearrangement were achieved using Rh2(R-BTPCP)4 as catalyst. The advantages of Rh2(R-BTPCP)4 include its ease of synthesis, its tolerance to the size of the ester group in the styryldiazoacetates, and its compatibility with dichloromethane as solvent. Computational studies suggest that the catalyst adopts a D2-symmetric arrangement, but when the carbenoid binds to the catalyst, two of the p-bromophenyl groups on the ligands rotate outward to make room for the carbenoid and the approach of the substrate to the carbenoid.
