Tunable Asymmetric Catalysis through Ligand Stacking in Chiral Rigid Rods

Résumé

Chiral benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) ligands, comprising one diphenylphosphino group and one or two remote chiral 1-methylheptyl side chains, were evaluated in the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate. Despite the fact that the rhodium atom and the chiral center(s) are separated by more than 12 covalent bonds, up to 82% ee was observed. A series of control and spectroscopic experiments confirmed that the selectivity arises from the formation of chiral helical polymers by self-association of the BTA monomers through non-covalent interactions. The addition of a phosphine-free chiral BTA, acting as a co-monomer for the chiral BTA ligands, increases the level of enantioselectivity (up to 88% ee). It illustrates how the selectivity of the reaction can be increased in a simple fashion by mixing two different BTA monomers. The concept was further probed by performing the same experiment with an achiral BTA ligand, i.e. a phosphine-functionalized BTA that contains two remote octyl side chains. It afforded an encouraging 31% ee, thus demonstrating the catalytically relevant transfer of chirality between the self-assembled units. It constitutes a unique example of the sergeants-and-soldiers principle applied to catalysis.
