Photoswitchable Chiral Organocatalysts: Photocontrol of Enantioselective Reactions

Masaru Kondo et al.

Summary: This study presents recent advances in photoswitchable chiral organocatalysts and their applications in the photomodulation of enantioselective reactions. Under appropriate light irradiation, the E/Z-photoisomerization of the photoresponsive units on the catalysts controls the catalytic activity and/or selectivity of the reactions. The study also elucidates the design, synthesis, and catalytic application of azobenzene BINOL-based photoswitchable chiral phase-transfer catalysts. This account provides insights into the appropriate design of a photoswitchable chiral organocatalyst for achieving good enantioselectivity and photocontrol.

Enantiodivergent Sulfoxidation Catalyzed by a Photoswitchable Iron Salen Phosphate Complex

Pieter J. Gilissen et al.

Summary: We report a photoswitchable iron(III) salen phosphate catalyst for enantiodivergent oxidation of prochiral aryl alkyl sulfides to chiral aryl alkyl sulfoxides. The stable (S)-axial isomer of the catalyst produced enantioenriched sulfoxides with (R)-configuration up to 75% e.e., while the photoisomerized metastable (R)-axial isomer favored the formation of (S)-sulfoxides up to 43% e.e. The maximum Delta e.e. value obtained in enantiodivergent sulfoxidation was 118%, identical to that observed in the enantiodivergent epoxidation of alkenes by a related Mn1 catalyst. This iron-based catalyst expands the range of photoswitchable enantiodivergent catalysts and shows potential for development of a catalytic system capable of writing digital information on a polymer chain in the form of chiral sulfoxide functions.

Silver-Free Catalysis with Gold(I) Chloride Complexes

Allegra Franchino et al.

Summary: Gold(I) chloride complexes typically require activation by halide abstraction to display catalytic activity, with the traditional method involving the use of silver salts. However, the presence of silver additives can negatively impact the reaction outcome, leading to the exploration of alternative chloride scavengers and self-activating gold(I) chloride complexes with special ligands in recent years.

Light in Gold Catalysis

Sina Witzel et al.

Summary: Gold photocatalysis in gold-catalyzed reactions offers unique advantages, allowing for valence change of the gold center through electron transfer and radical addition without the need for stoichiometric sacrificial oxidants. The compatibility of radicals with gold catalysts enables a variety of important organic transformations, including redox-neutral C-C and C-X coupling, C-H activation, and formal radical-radical cross-coupling.

Reversibly Photoswitchable Catalysts for Olefin Metathesis Reactions

Seongwook Park et al.

Summary: Novel ruthenium catalysts bearing azobenzene groups were developed for olefin metathesis reactions, demonstrating an on-off switching ability in ring-closing metathesis reactions depending on UV irradiation. Various types of olefin metathesis reactions, such as ring-opening metathesis, cross-metathesis, and ethenolysis, exhibited photoswitching phenomena. The reversible feature of photoswitching was confirmed by observing the photoisomerization of azobenzene-bearing cyclic(alkyl)(amino)carbene ligands and the corresponding ruthenium catalysts using UV-vis spectroscopy.
