Cation‐Triggered Switchable Asymmetric Catalysis with Chiral Aza‐CrownPhos

Abstract: An aza-crown ether, modified phosphoramidite ligand, has been designed and synthesized. The ON/OFF reversible switch of catalytic activity for its rhodium catalyst was thoroughly investigated in the asymmetric hydrogenation of dehydroamino acid esters modulated by host-guest interactions. In the OFF state, the catalyst is almost inactive (less than 1% conversion) because of the formation of an intermolecular sandwich complex by two aza-crown ether moities and the cationic rhodium metal center. In using alkali-… Show more

“…In one case, the opposite enantioselectivity is obtained by using the same molecule while changing its conformation . In another case, the structure of chiral self‐assemblies can be easily tuned by changing temperature, solvent, and host–guest reactions, thus, the development of smarter supramolecular catalysts is expected in the future …”

“…A remarkable example of cation‐triggered switchable asymmetric catalysis was reported by Fan and co‐workers . The authors designed a phosphoramidite ligand 87 modified with an aza‐crown ether and employed it in rhodium‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of dehydroamino acid esters (Scheme ).…”

“…Fan and colleagues reported a BINOL‐based phosphoramidite ligand bearing an aza‐crown ether moiety. They were able to switch between catalytically active and inactive states by addition or removal of Na + ions that suppress rhodium coordination of the crown ether . The implementation of sulfonamides was shown to be successful in the design of self‐sorting binuclear catalysts by Reek and colleagues.…”
