Ferryl-oxo species have been recognized as a key oxidant in many heme and non-heme enzymes. Recently, less-characterized ferric-superoxo species have been found or suggested to be another electrophilic oxidant. Reactivity of several vital ferryl-oxo and ferric-superoxo model complexes was examined by DFT calculations. Reactivity is found to correlate well with thermodynamic driving force and can increase with higher electrophilicity of the oxidant. Reactivity of the ferric-superoxo oxidants generally is not superior to the ferryl-oxo ones. Compared to the high-spin non-heme ferric-superoxo, the lower reactivity of low-spin heme ferric-superoxo, seldom utilized in nature, can be attributed to lower electrophilicity and more pronounced quenching of anti-ferromagnetic coupling between the ferric and superoxo parts. The present comparison should shed some light on mechanistic strategies in heme and non-heme enzymes and provide clues to rational design of ferric-superoxo oxidants.

Water as a Direct Proton Source for Asymmetric Hydroarylation Catalyzed by a Rh(I)-Diene: Access to Nonproteinogenic β2/γ2/δ2-Amino Acid Derivatives

Jian-Ping Chen, Yi Li, Chao Liu, Tianyi Wang, Lung Wa Chung, Ming-Hua Xu

Summary: This study achieves a highly enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular hydroarylation of alpha-aminoalkyl acrylates using a chiral bicyclo[3.3.0] diene ligand, leading to a broad range of alpha-aryl-methyl-substituted beta(2)-, gamma(2)-, and delta(2)-amino esters with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee) under mild conditions. This method provides a new pathway for constructing structurally interesting benzo-fused heterocyclic molecules and the corresponding beta(2)-, gamma(2)-, and delta(2)-amino acids.

Enantioselective Hydrogenation of Tetrasubstituted α,β-Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids Enabled by Cobalt(II) Catalysis: Scope and Mechanistic Insights

Xiaoyong Du, Ye Xiao, Yuhong Yang, Ya-Nan Duan, Fangfang Li, Qi Hu, Lung Wa Chung, Gen-Qiang Chen, Xumu Zhang

Summary: The enantioselective hydrogenation of cyclic and acyclic tetrasubstituted alpha, beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids via cobalt(II) catalysis demonstrated broad substrate scope and excellent enantiocontrol. Combined experimental and computational mechanistic studies supported a Co-II catalytic cycle involving migratory insertion and sigma-bond metathesis processes, with enantioselectivity possibly originating from the steric effect between the phenyl groups of the ligand and the substrate.

Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Phomarol

Jian-Hong Fan, Jing-Jing Wang, Fangfang Li, Guannan Wang, Qiang Guo, Lung Wa Chung, Chuang-Chuang Li

Summary: This study describes the first and asymmetric total synthesis of phomarol, a rare C25 steroid, using a mild acid-promoted type I [5 + 2] cycloaddition followed by regio- and chemoselective bond cleavage and aromatization cascade. The stereoselectivity of cycloadditions was controlled using hydrogen bonding between the hydroxy group and oxidopyrylium ylide. The highly functionalized tetrahydropyran ring of phomarol was efficiently produced based on a suggested biomimetic pathway.

Quantum Tunneling in Reactions Modulated by External Electric Fields: Reactivity and Selectivity

Zhifeng Ma, Zeyin Yan, Xin Li, Lung Wa Chung

Summary: In this study, the effects of external electric fields (EEFs) on three reactions involving hydrogen or carbon were extensively investigated. The study revealed that oriented EEFs can significantly reduce the barrier and increase the reaction rates. Furthermore, EEFs can modulate tunneling reactions and control the site selectivity of molecules with similar reactive sites.

Breaking Conventional Site Selectivity in C-H Bond Activation: Selective spi versus spe Silylation by a Pincer-Based Pocket

Chuan Qin, Zhidao Huang, Song-Bai Wu, Zhuangxing Li, Yuhong Yang, Xin Zhang, Guixia Liu, Yun-Dong Wu, Lung Wa Chung, Zheng Huang

Summary: This study challenges a widely accepted assumption in organometallic chemistry that unactivated aliphatic C(sp3)-H bonds are less reactive than aromatic C(sp2)-H bonds within the same molecule. The researchers demonstrate that a pincer-ligated iridium complex can selectively catalyze intramolecular dehydrogenative silylation of unactivated delta-C(sp3)-H bonds, leading to the formation of 5-membered silolanes. Furthermore, chiral silolanes can be further oxidized to produce enantiopure beta-aryl-substituted 1,4-diols.

Structure-property relationships of photofunctional diiridium(II) complexes with tetracationic charge and an unsupported Ir-Ir bond

Fangrui Zheng, Yuhong Yang, Siye Wu, Shunan Zhao, Yifan Zhu, Huimin Su, Jun-Feng Dai, Zeyin Yan, Lung Wa Chung, Keith Man-Chung Wong

Summary: In contrast to the well-studied dirhodium(II) complexes and iridium(III) complexes, neutral or dicationic dinuclear iridium(II) complexes with unsupported ligands are relatively unexplored. In this study, a series of tetracationic dinuclear iridium(II) complexes with long bond distances and photoluminescent properties were synthesized and characterized. It was found that these complexes exhibit high stability due to London dispersion interactions, despite the long Ir(II)-Ir(II) bond lengths, and show potential for further photoreactivity studies involving the generation of iridium(II) radical monomers.

Asymmetric Synthesis of Vicinal Tetrasubstituted Diamines via Reductive Coupling of Ketimines Templated by Chiral Diborons

Mingkang Zhou, Yaodong Lin, Xiao-Xuan Chen, Guangqing Xu, Lung Wa Chung, Wenjun Tang

Summary: We report the chiral diboron-templated asymmetric homocoupling of aryl alkyl ketimines, leading to the formation of chiral vicinal tetrasubstituted diamines with high enantioselectivities and good to high yields. This powerful and efficient reaction is achieved by rational design and engineering of chiral diborons, which participate in a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. DFT studies reveal that different conformational assembling strategies of chiral diborons ensure the excellent enantioselectivity in the tight concerted transition states.

A Computational Study on the Reaction Mechanism of Stereocontrolled Synthesis of beta-Lactam within [2]Rotaxane

Rong Liang, Qinghai Zhou, Xin Li, Ming Wah Wong, Lung Wa Chung

Summary: The macrocycle effect of [2]rotaxane on the highly trans-stereoselective cyclization reaction of N-benzylfumaramide has been extensively studied. Computational results suggest that the most favorable mechanism involves deprotonation of a N-benzyl group of the fumaramide substrate by CsOH, followed by C-C bond formation and protonation by an amide functional group of the macrocycle. The trans-selective cyclization within the rotaxane is attributed to higher distortion energy caused by the twisted cis-fumaramide conformation enforced by the rotaxane.

Electron-rich benzofulvenes as effective dipolarophiles in copper(i)-catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides

Xin Chang, Xue-Tao Liu, Fangfang Li, Yuhong Yang, Lung Wa Chung, Chun-Jiang Wang

Summary: A series of benzofulvenes without electron-withdrawing substituents were used as 2π-type dipolarophiles in Cu(i)-catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. The non-benzenoid aromatic characteristic of benzofulvenes served as a key driving force for their activation. The methodology allowed for the synthesis of multi-substituted chiral spiro-pyrrolidine derivatives with exclusive chemo-/regioselectivity and high to excellent stereoselectivity.
