An efficient and enantioselective synthesis of oxa[9]helicenes has been established via vanadium(V)-catalyzed oxidative coupling/intramolecular cyclization of polycyclic phenols. A newly developed vanadium complex cooperatively functions as both a redox and Lewis acid catalyst to promote the present sequential reaction and afford oxa[9]helicenes in good yields with up to 94% ee.
Enantioselective oxidative-coupling of polycyclic phenols such as 2-anthracenol, 9-or 3phenanthrol, and 5-chrysenol was established by using vanadium(V/IV) catalysis under air or O2 as a co-oxidant. In the vanadium catalyzed reaction, the corresponding coupling products were obtained in good to excellent yields with up to 93% enantiomeric excess.
In this paper, the dehydrogenation of tetrahydroquinolines using oxovanadium(V) catalysts under mild conditions in water and oxygen atmosphere is described. This catalytic technology was successfully applied to a range of other structurally related N-heterocycles, and a reaction mechanism is proposed.
A highly atom-economical enantioselective Rauhut–Currier and [3+2] annulation has been established by flow system and machine-learning-assisted exploration of suitable conditions.
The catalytic enantioselective oxidative hetero-coupling of arenols using a chiral vanadium(v) complex has been developed. The coupling of hydroxycarbazole derivatives with various arenols provided axially chiral biarenols in high chemo-,...
a b s t r a c tThe enantioselective oxidative coupling of 2-naphthols in water was established using dinuclear vanadium(V/IV) catalysis with O 2 as the sole co-oxidant. In the vanadium-catalyzed reaction, the corresponding coupling products were obtained in good to excellent yields with up to 94% enantiomeric excess. In water, racemization of the coupling product was suppressed even at high temperature (70°C).
Asymmetric oxidative coupling reactions of hydroxycarbazoles have been established using a chiral dinuclear vanadium complex. To demonstrate the utility of vanadium-catalyzed reactions, we have used them to synthesize (+)-bi-2-hydroxy-3-carbazole in three steps from cyclohexanone and commercially available aniline derivatives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
