NMR-Spectroscopic and Solid-State Investigations of Cometal-Free Asymmetric Conjugate Addition: A Dinuclear Paracyclophaneimine Zinc Methyl Complex

Abstract: We present herein the first indications for dimeric structures in cometal-free asymmetric conjugate addition reactions of dialkylzinc reagents with aldehydes. These are revealed by nonlinear effect (NLE) studies. A monomer-dimer equilibrium can be assumed which explains the increase of the ee value in the product over time. Also, DOSY NMR spectroscopic measurements indicate the existence of the catalyst as [LZnEt](n) complexes in solution. Additionally, the first X-ray structure of a zinc complex with a [2.2]p… Show more

“…When using different molar mixtures of the two salts with d - and l -prolinate, a complex nonlinear effect was observed ( Figure 6 b, Table S2 ). Such relationships have been often observed in diastereomeric systems and are associated to a complex aggregation behavior with the participation of homo- and/or heteroaggregates [ 56 , 57 ]. Interestingly, a 10% ee ( S ) was obtained for the equimolecular mixture, while for the region where ( S , S )- trans -Cy6-OH-Im-Bu- l -Pro was the major component, the enantioselectivity remained essentially constant (ca.…”

“…Typical processes that induce ligation changes in copper(I) and other d 10 species are solvent coordination, intermolecular ligand exchange and/or aggregation. [42,45,[56][57][58][59][60][61] For reference purposes, the ligand of each complex was synthesized by adapting previously reported procedures for Schiff base ligands. [62] Based on literature reports for similar ML 2 -type complexes, [60,63,64] it seems likely that complexes 2, 4 and 6 are in equilibrium with an ML complex and the free ligand.…”

“…While SpiroBOX IV (Figure 1) combines axial chirality from the spiro backbone with the central chirality of the 2-substituted BOX moiety, [2.2]paracyclophane (PCP) exhibits planar chirality, which has previously demonstrated remarkable performance as planar chiral ligand or chiral catalyst in asymmetric catalysis [9]. Notable examples include the addition of alkyl, aryl, alkynyl, and alkenyl zinc reagents to aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes and imines that are catalyzed by PCP ligands[10,11,12,13,14]. The PCP core allows different substituents to be positioned regioselectively using carefully chosen reaction parameters [15].…”
