Abstract
The enantioselective hydrogenations of the dialkyl 3,3-dimethyloxaloacetate ketone substrates (2, 3, and 4; alkyl = Me, (i)Pr, and (t)Bu, respectively) were catalyzed by [Ru((R)-BINAP)(H)(MeCN)(n)(sol)(3-n)](BF(4)) (1, n = 0-3, sol = THF or MeOH, (R)-BINAP = (R)-2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl) in up to 82% ee (R). Reaction of the active catalyst 1 with 1 equiv of substrate (2, 3, or 4) in THF or MeOH solution formed the diastereomeric catalyst-alkoxide complexes [Ru((R)-BINAP)(MeCN)(OCH(CO(2)R)-(C(CH(3))(2)CO(2)R))](BF(4)) (5/6 R = Me, 8/9 R = (i)Pr, and 10 R = (t)Bu, respectively) via hydride addition to the ketone carbonyl carbon and ruthenium addition to oxygen. The absolute configurations at the alkoxide groups ((R)- for the major diastereomers 5, 8, and 10) were determined via cleavage of the ruthenium-alkoxide bond with 1 equiv of HBF(4).OEt(2). The solution structures of the major diastereomer catalyst-alkoxide complexes (5, 8, and 10) were unambiguously determined by variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy. The major diastereomers (5, 8, and 10) had the same absolute configuration as the major product enantiomers from the catalytic hydrogenation of 2, 3, and 4 with 1 as catalyst. The ratio of major to minor a...Continue Reading
