  • The asymmetric hydration of 1-octene to (S)-(+)-2-octanol with a biopolymer–metal complex, silica-supported chitosan–cobalt complex
    Reactive and Functional Polymers, 2004
    Co-Authors: Lei Xue, De-jun Zhou, Li Tang, Mei-yu Huang, Ying-yan Jiang
    Abstract:

    Abstract A new biopolymer-non-noble metal Catalyst, silica-supported chitosan–cobalt complex (SiO 2 –CS–Co), has been prepared by a simple method and found to be a high Stereoselective Catalyst for asymmetric hydration of 1-octene to (S)-(+)-2-octanol amounted to 97.8%ee when fitting conditions were selected. This Catalyst was very stable and could be reused several times without any remarkable change in catalytic activity and optical selectivity. Obviously, the present work has provided a more economical alternative way for the preparation of a chiral 2-octanol.

  • Asymmetric hydrogenation of diketones catalyzed by magnesium oxide‐supported chitosan–Rh complex
    Polymers for Advanced Technologies, 2003
    Co-Authors: Da‐qing Zhou, Mei-yu Huang, Yan‐hong Zhang, Ying-yan Jiang
    Abstract:

    MgO-supported chitosan–Rh complex (MgO-CS-Rh) has been prepared and found to be a highly Stereoselective Catalyst for the asymmetric hydrogenation of some diketones to corresponding chiral alcohols, such as 2,3-butanedione to (2S,3S)-(+)-2,3-butanediol and 2,4-pentanedione to (2S,4S)-(+)-2,4-pentanediol at room temperature and under 1 atm H2. The optical yield was greatly affected by the Rh content in the complex, the solvent and the reaction temperature. The optical yields of (2S,3S)-(+)-2,3-butanediol and (3S,4S)-(+)-2,4-pentanediol obtained were 87% and 81.2%, respectively. The chiral chitosan–Rh complex Catalyst was very easy to prepare, and could be reused without noticeable change in its optical catalytic activity. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

  • Catalytic behaviors of silica-supported chitin–platinum complex for asymmetric hydrogenation of α-phenylethanol
    Journal of Molecular Catalysis A: Chemical, 2000
    Co-Authors: Guo-li Yuan, Mei-yu Huang, Mao-ya Yin, Ting-ting Jiang, Ying-yan Jiang
    Abstract:

    Abstract Silica-supported chitin–platinum complex (SiO2–CT–Pt) has been prepared and found to be a high Stereoselective Catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation of racemic α-phenylethanol to R-(+)-1-cyclohexyl ethanol at 30°C and under an atmospheric hydrogen pressure. The optical selectivity of R-(+)-1-cyclohexyl ethanol amounted to 100% when a fitting condition was selected. In this case, the yield and optical selectivity were affected greatly by many factors, such as Pt content in SiO2–CT–Pt complex, the reaction temperature, the solvent, and the amount of the additive of hydrochloric acid, etc. SiO2–CT–Pt Catalyst also has shown high stability. The optical selectivity for R-(+)-1-cyclohexyl ethanol was almost keeping at 100% when the Catalyst was reused for many times. Moreover, SiO2–CT–Pt complex is an economical chiral Catalyst. The chitin is an abundant natural biopolymer and the procedure for preparation of the complex is very simple.

  • Recent Advances in Metal-Mediated Stereoselective Ring-Opening Polymerization of Functional Cyclic Esters towards Well-defined Poly(hydroxy acid)s: From Stereoselectivity to Sequence‐Control
    Chemistry - A European Journal, 2020
    Co-Authors: Rama M. Shakaroun, Sophie M. Guillaume, Jean-françois Carpentier
    Abstract:

    Poly(hydroxy acid)s are a family of biocompatible and (bio)degradable polyesters with various outcomes in different domains of application. To date, poly(hydroxy acid)s are best prepared by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of the corresponding cyclic esters. Using racemic chiral monomers featuring side-chain groups enables to access, providing a Stereoselective Catalyst/initiator system is implemented, stereoregular functional polymers, thereby improving their physico-chemical properties and ultimately widening their range of uses. Here, we highlight a few important advances in metal-mediated Stereoselective ROP of cyclic esters towards the synthesis of (functional) stereoregular poly(hydroxy acid)s that have recently been disclosed, emphasizing on (functional) β- and γ-lactones, diolide and O -carboxyanhydride (OCA) monomers and yttrium-based catalysis. Fine-tuning of the substituents flanked on the Catalyst ligand enables reaching poly(hydroxy acid)s with syndiotactic and also isotactic microstructures. The stereocontrol mechanisms at work and their probable origin, relying on steric but also electronic factors imparted in particular by the ligand substituents, are discussed. Taking advantages of such Stereoselective ROPs, original copoly(hydroxy acid)s with gradient or alternated patterns then become accessible from the use of mixtures of chemically different, oppositely configurated enantiopure monomers.
