4 ucleophilic Catalysis: The Basics Steglich earrangement X 5-acyloxyoxazole x =, DMA X This can also be done with pyridine as the catalyst, but it takes 24 hrs at 100 o C versus a few minutes at room temp. X ofle, G.; Steglich, W.; Vorbruggen,. Angew Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1978, 17, 569

5 Kinetic esolutions: Theory Kinetic resolutions are the best way for getting extremely enantioenriched compounds, usually utilizing an enzyme to preferentially react away one enantiomer of the substrate, leaving behind the other enantiomer of the substrate. ln[(1-c)(1-ee)] s = = ln[(1-c)(1+ee)] s = selectivity c = conversion c = 1 k fast-reacting enantiomer k slow-reacting enantiomer A + B ee = %ee of recovered substrate A 0 + B 0 A 0 = initial amt. of fast-reacting enantiomer B 0 = intial amt. of slow-reacting enantiomer A = amt. of fast-reacting time T B = amt. of slow-reacting time T % ee %ee of unreacted substrate % Conversion s = 3 s = 5 s = 10 s = 25 s = 100 Chen, C.; Fujimoto, Y., Girdaukas, G., Sih, C.

6 Kinetic esolutions: Theory t. 2 What about the other half of what you have? What is the %ee of the product at a given percent conversion with a known value of s? ln(1-c*(1+ee)) s = = ln(1-c*(1-ee)) s = selectivity c = conversion ee = %ee of product c = 1 k fast-reacting enantiomer k slow-reacting enantiomer A + B A 0 + B 0 A 0 = initial amt. of fast-reacting enantiomer B 0 = intial amt. of slow-reacting enantiomer A = amt. of fast-reacting time T B = amt. of slow-reacting time T % ee %ee of product % Conversion s = 3 s = 5 s = 10 s = 25 s = 100 Chen, C.; Fujimoto, Y., Girdaukas, G., Sih, C.

15 Summary of Acylations Using B Catalysts osphabicylooctane catalysts can be effectively used for a number of kinetic resolutions of benzylic alcohols. Separation of enantiomers of these catalysts is not exceptionally difficult, done through use of lactate esters and recrystallizations Enantioselectivities are exceptional, with values of s = 380 Selectivites high enough to warrant correction for %ee of catalyst Synthesis is quite air-sensitive at parts, yields of the alkylations are low, and the catalyst must be stored as the borane complex, due to interconversion of diastereomers at phosporus The full paper only covered the use of a few catalysts Will this replace using enzymes for kinetic resolutions? ot yet, I think
