New Trends in Asymmetric Phase Transfer Catalysis

Domenico C. M. Albanese et al.

Summary: This article highlights the efficacy of phase transfer catalysis (PTC) in performing reactions on both laboratory and industrial scales, with significant cost savings and process improvements. It discusses recent advances in stereoselective reactions using chiral, non-racemic quaternary ammonium salts, the use of bulky, chiral phosphate anions paired with achiral cations to generate lipophilic ion pairs, and the application of hydrogen bond interactions in asymmetric nucleophilic substitutions under PTC conditions.

Enantioselective Alkylation of Glycine Imines Using a Cinchona-Functionalized Crown Ether-Strapped Calixarene Phase-Transfer Catalyst

Apoorva Malik et al.

Summary: We report a class of quaternary ammonium Cinchona-functionalized crown ether-strapped calix[4]-arene phase-transfer catalysts for the efficient enantioselective alpha-alkylation of glycine imines. The catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic performance at 0.1 mol % catalytic loading, affording the desired alpha-alkylated glycinates with 98% yield and 99.9% ee. The catalyst could be recovered and recycled up to 30 test cycles without a significant drop in activity.

Enantioselective Cyclopropanation of 2-Cyano-3-arylacrylates Using Carbohydrate-Based Crown Ethers

Istvan Orban et al.

Summary: Enantioenriched, highly functionalized cyclopropane derivatives with complete diastereoselectivity and up to 87% enantioselectivity were prepared using monosaccharide-based chiral crown ethers as phase transfer catalysts. Among the catalysts tested, the monoaza-15-crown-5 lariat ether with a methyl beta-D-glucopyranoside unit and a 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl group on the nitrogen exhibited the highest asymmetric induction.

C7 Epimerization of Benzylidene-Protected β-D-Idopyranosides Brings Structural Insights into Idose Conformational Flexibility

Maude Cloutier et al.

Summary: This study thoroughly investigated the reaction conditions and structural parameters of benzylidene acetal-protected 3-O-acyl-fi-D-idopyranosides through extensive glycosylation study, NMR analyses, X-ray diffraction, and quantum molecular modeling. It not only reported a direct and fi-stereoselective idosylation approach, but also provided fundamental structural insights into the conformational flexibility of idose.

Synthesis and Applications of Carbohydrate-Based Organocatalysts

Elzbieta Wojaczynska et al.

Summary: Organocatalysis is a valuable tool for asymmetric synthesis of biologically active compounds, avoiding the use of harmful metals and allowing reactions in benign solvents without the need for anhydrous conditions. In addition to l-proline and cinchona alkaloids, carbohydrates have also been used as organocatalysts in recent decades. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the preparation and catalytic properties of sugar-based organocatalysts.
