Cat. 2001, 5 Kagan, Topics in Stereochemistry, 1988, 18, 249 For the technician in you: Practical considerations Useful K s xidative K of allylic alcohols An extreme example Acylation/deacylation Hydrogenation olefins ketones Dynamic kinetic resolution Epoxide ring opening A very extreme example Parallel kinetic resolution eady; Catalysis Kinetic esolution Some definitions and examples esolution: A process leading to the separation of enantiomers, or derivatives thereof Simplest examples: esolution by making diastereomeric derivatives C 2 H C 2 H ()-Menthol enantiomers (identical mp, mobilitiy on silica gel, bp, etc) diastereomers (different mp, mobility on silica gel, bp, etc) esolution via salt formation: H 2 C C 2 H H H H 2 2 /HAc (0.5 equiv) H 3-2 C H 3 -Ac 2 H C H 3 (solid) (soluble) Larrow, Jacobsen, S, 1998, 75, 1 1

2 eady; Catalysis Kinetic esolution Kinetic esolution: ne enantiomer reacts faster than the other: Ac k fast Bu Ac H 2, Lipase k slow Bu high ee product 50% yield max Ac Bu racemic mixture Bu high ee unreacted sm 50% yield max slow reacting enantiomer ΔΔG (slow - fast) = ΔG (slow) - ΔG (fast) Potential Energy fast reacting enantiomer (S) ()- SM k rel = s = k fast /k slow = exp(δδg /T) minor product major product eady; Catalysis Kinetic esolution elationships between k rel, ee and conversion (1) Calculated from eq 1 Important Points 1. K can give any arbitrarily high ee recovered sm with any k rel >1 if you sacrifice yield 2. K can give high ee product only if very high krel (needs to be more selective than normal asymmetric reaction (Jacobsen, 2001) 2

3 eady; Catalysis Kinetic esolution Some thoughts: -Sharpless, JACS, 1981, 6237 eady; Catalysis Kinetic esolution ote that eq 1 may not always hold: Ln[(1-c)(1-ee)] k rel = (1) Ln[(1-c)(1ee)] It assumes rxn is first order in substrate, but consider simple enzyme kinetics: Sub Cat k 1 k- 1 Sub-Cat eagent k 2 Product ate (-sub) = k 2() [eagent][cat] t [Sub] K M [Sub] K M = (k -1 k 2 )/k 1 ~ dissociation constant Sub = substrate For [sub]>>km, rxn is 0 order in [sub]; equation 1 does not hold For [sub]<<km, rxn is 1 st order, equation 1 needs modification: elative rate = E = k cat() K M(S) k cat(s) K M() = Eq. 2 is eq 1 normalized to binding affinity Ln[(1-c)(1-ee)] Ln[(1-c)(1ee)] Many (most?) K s would likely show enzyme kinetics if anyone looked. Therefore they may start out zero order, then change. Also, one enantiomer could be 1 st order, while the other is 0 th order! Hallmark of trouble is if k rel (as calculated by eq 1) changes as a function of conversion The real question is: what yield of what ee? (2) 3

4 eady; Catalysis Kinetic esolution DIPT, Ti(iPr) 4 tbu 47% recovered sm 94% ee M Drawbacks to K s Max 50% yield Poor atom economy Viewed by some as inelegant K s may be useful if the following are true: 1. Very high ee needed 2. acemate cheap; optically active hard to make 3. esolving agent cheap 4. Products easily separable 5. Catalyst cheap and works well eady; Catalysis Kinetic esolution H with D-(-)-DET Et 2 C C 2 Et (cat) ' (-)-diethyl tartrate (DET) ' (unnatural isomer) Ti(iPr) 4 (cat), 3AMS ' t Bu (TBHP) ' Katsuki, Sharpless, JACS, 1980, 6237 General trend: asymmetric catalytic reaction disclosed; soon after K disclosed with L-()-DET c-c 6 H 11 H c-c 6 H 11 H (recovered, 48% y, 94%ee) Sharpless, JACS, 1981, 6237 improved (addn MS3A): JC, 1986, 1922 relative rates: JACS, 1988, 2978 k fast k rel = 104 k slow dr = 2:98 dr = 38:62 Epoxidation is enantiomer-selective and diastereoselective c-c 6 H 11 H c-c 6 H 11 H major product c-c 6 H 11 H c-c 6 H 11 H 4
