Abstract

A novel chiral ligand mimicking N-Ar axial chirality, (S)-N-[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)naphthalen-1-yl]-2-(piperidinylmethyl)piperidine, was found to exhibit good enantioselectivity (up to 80% ee) in the asymmetric cross-coupling reaction of 1-phenylethylmagnesium chloride with β-bromostyrene derivatives. Additionally, this type ligand is appealing, because it allows the synthesis of a wide variety of analogues.

Key words

N-Ar axis - chiral mimetics - optically active ligand - Grignard cross-coupling - asymmetric Kumada-Corriu reaction

The use of other solvents such as THF, CH₂Cl₂ and toluene, and the use of nickel salts in place of PdCl₂(MeCN)₂, gave less satisfactory results.

Use of the ligand 1o (Figure 4) possessing a pendant methoxy group resulted in no reaction. For the ligand 1o, see:

The use of ligand 1i at ca.-20 °C afforded the coupling product with 25% yield and 80% ee.

The new styrene derivative 3c was characterized by IR, ¹H- and ¹³C NMR, MS, and HRMS. The ¹H NMR data of 3c are shown below: ¹H NMR (CDCl₃): δ = 1.24 (d, J = 6.9 Hz, 3 H × 2), 2.88 (sept, J = 6.9 Hz, 1 H), 6.70 (d, J = 13.8 Hz, 1 H), 7.07 (d, J = 13.8 Hz, 1 H), 7.13-7.29 (m, 4 H).

The use of vinyl bromide and 1-propenyl bromide as substrates resulted in no reaction.

The racemic and optically active carboxylic acid 7 were purchased from Aldrich Co., Ltd.

The ligands 1b, 1d, 1e, and 1g-i were reported by us. [1] The new ligands 1a, 1c, 1f, 1j-l and 1n were characterized by IR, ¹H- and ¹³C NMR, FABMS, and elemental analysis. All ligands 1a-n were synthesized according to the typical procedure described below. ( S )- N -[2-(Diphenylphosphanyl)naphthalen-1-yl]-2-(piperidinylmethyl)piperidine ( 1j). To a stirred solution of (S)-2-(piperidinylmethyl)piperidine (700 mg, 3.84 mmol) in THF (4.0 mL) was gradually added BuLi (2.53 mL, 4.00 mmol, 1.58 M solution in hexane) at -30 °C, and the mixture was stirred for 2 h at the same temperature. To this solution was then added a solution of 1-methoxy-2-(diphenylphos-phinoyl)naphthalene (680 mg, 1.90 mmol) in THF (2.0 mL) at -30 °C. The whole mixture was stirred for 1 h at the same temperature, quenched with H₂O and extracted with EtOAc. The organic extracts were successively washed with saturated aq NH₄Cl and brine, dried (Na₂SO₄) and concentrated. Purification by silica gel column (Fuji Silysia Chromatorex NH, EtOAc/hexane=1:5) gave a mixture (724 mg) of 1-(S)-N-[2-(diphenylphosphonyl)naphthalen-1-yl]-2-(piperidinylmethyl)piperidine and small amounts of impurities. This mixture was used for the next step without further separation.

FABMS: m/z = 509 (M⁺ + 1). The above mixture was dissolved in p-xylene (7.0 mL), and Et₃N (2.10 mL, 15.1 mmol) and HSiCl₃ (1.4 mL, 14 mmol) were added at 0 °C. The whole mixture was heated at 140 °C for 2 h. After being cooled to r.t., the reaction mixture was carefully poured into 10% NaOH, and the whole mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The organic extracts were successively washed with water and brine, dried (Na₂SO₄), and concentrated. Purification by silica gel column (Fuji Silysia Chromatorex NH, hexane/EtOAc = 20:1) gave (S)-N-[2-(diphenylphos-phanyl)naphthyl]-2-(piperidinylmethyl)piperidine (1j)
(505 mg, 54% in 2 steps) as a colorless amorphous.

Typical Procedure for Grignard Cross-Coupling Reaction of ( E )-β-Bromostyrene(3a) with Ligand 1j (entry 3, Table 2). 1-Phenylethylmagnesium chloride (4) (2.10 mL, 1.50 mmol, 0.70 mol/L in Et₂O) was added to the mixture of PdCl₂(MeCN)₂ (9.3 mg, 0.036 mmol) and the ligand 1j (18.2 mg, 0.0369 mmol) in α,α,α-trifluorotoluene (2.10 mL) at 0 °C, and the solution was stirred at the same temperature for 30 min (CAUTION: stirring at 0 °C for 30 min for the favorable complexation of Pd and ligand 1j is needed.). To the solution was added (E)-β-bromostyrene (3a) (133 mg, 0.727 mmol) at -10 °C. The resulting solution was stirred for 6 h at -10 °C. After usual work-up, purification by silica gel column(hexane) afforded the coupling product 5a (105 mg, 69%, 72% ee) as a colorless oil. The ee was determined by HPLC analysis (Daicel chiralcel OD, hexane/i-PrOH = 100:1, 0.3 mL/min, 254 nm): t_R/min = 34.9 (S), 37.1 (R).
