Enantioconvergent catalysis

by Justin T. Mohr, Jared T. Moore and Brian M. Stoltz

Abstract

An enantioconvergent catalytic process has the potential to convert a racemic starting material to a single highly enantioenriched product with a maximum yield of 100%. Three mechanistically distinct approaches to effecting enantioconvergent catalysis are identified, and recent examples of each are highlighted. These processes are compared to related, non-enantioconvergent methods.

Determining crystal structures through crowdsourcing and coursework

by Scott Horowitz

Determining crystal structures through crowdsourcing and coursework

Nature Communications, Published online: 16 September 2016; doi:10.1038/ncomms12549

Building crystal structures into the electron density is an important step in protein structure solution. Here, the authors recruit online game players, students, and experienced crystallographers to compete in a competition to solve a new structure, and find that crowdsourcing model-building works.

MIDA boronates are hydrolysed fast and slow by two different mechanisms

by Jorge A. Gonzalez

Nature Chemistry. doi:10.1038/nchem.2571

Authors: Jorge A. Gonzalez, O. Maduka Ogba, Gregory F. Morehouse, Nicholas Rosson, Kendall N. Houk, Andrew G. Leach, Paul H.-Y. Cheong, Martin D. Burke & Guy C. Lloyd-Jones

The staged hydrolysis of N-methylimidodiacetic (MIDA) boronates is a prerequisite for their application in small-molecule constructions. Mechanistic studies now show that two distinct hydrolysis mechanisms operate in parallel, the partitioning — which is dependent on the pH, water activity and homogeneity of the medium — can be readily quantified by 18O incorporation.

Highly Selective and Modular Synthesis of 3-Aryl-4-(arylethynyl)-2H-chromen-2-ones from 2-Iodoaryl 2-Arylacetates through a Carbonylative Sonogashira Coupling–Intramolecular Aldol Cascade Reaction

by Attoor Chandrasekhar, Venkatachalam Ramkumar, Sethuraman Sankararaman

A modular method for the synthesis of 3-aryl-4-(arylethynyl)-2H-chromen-2-ones from 2-iodoaryl 2-arylacetates and arylacetylenes has been developed. The carbonylative Sonogashira coupling–intramolecular aldol casade reaction was carried out in the presence of Pd(PPh3)2(Cl)2 as the catalyst. The one-pot approach that involves the in situ formation of the 2-iodoaryl 2-arylacetates from the corresponding 2-iodophenols and 2-arylacetyl chlorides followed by the palladium-catalyzed carbonylative annulation in the presence of the arylacetylene has also been described for the formation of the 3-aryl-4-(arylethynyl)-2H-chromen-2-ones.

A modular approach for the synthesis of 3-aryl-4-(arylethynyl)-2H-chromen-2-ones from iodoaryl 2-arylacetates and arylacetylenes has been developed. This highly selective general method was used to prepare 24 different 3,4-disubstitued 2H-chromen-2-one derivatives in good to excellent yields.
