Martinez-Castaneda, Angel,Poladura, Belen,Rodriguez-Solla, Humberto,Concellon, Carmen,Del Amo, Vicente

The combined activity of (S)-proline and an achiral cocatalyst (a TBD-derived guanidinium salt) allow direct aldol reactions to be carried out with high diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity under solvent-free conditions with a rather simple reactio

Huang, Wen-Ping,Chen, Jia-Rong,Li, Xin-Yong,Cao, Yi-Ju,Xiao, Wen-Jing
, p. 208 - 213 (2007)
Organocatalytic asymmetric direct aldol reactions in brine with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities, using a readily available bifunctional amide catalyst, were developed.

A rationally designed organocatalyst for direct asymmetric aldol reaction in the presence of water has been developed. High yield (up to 99%), diastereoselectivity (up to 99:1) and enantioselectivity (up to 97%) were obtained under optimal conditions.

We report the synthesis, characterization, and supra-molecular assembly of novel diacetylene amphiphilic units bearing a chiral proline-derived head group. In water, these amphiphiles self-assemble into twisted ribbons that are photo-polymerized to afford
Polydopamine - An organocatalyst rather than an innocent polymer

Polydopamine (PDA) is easily available by oxidation of dopamine and is widely used for persistent coatings of various materials. It is hitherto considered to be inert in many interesting biomedical and other applications. Results presented here, reveal an unexpected behavior of polydopamine as an organocatalyst in direct aldol reactions under mild conditions. Evidence was found for dual catalysis making use of amino and phenolic hydroxy groups found in PDA. Thus scientists must be aware that PDA is not an innocent polymer and can cause unwanted side effects in important applications, such as in biomedicine or as supports in catalysis.

The development of a combination enzyme and organocatalyst for aqueous sequential organic transformation has great significance, in that it is not only environmentally friendly but also overcomes only a single methodological drawback, either in the chemical or biological process. Herein, through the utilization of the bulky steric hindrance of chiral proline derivatives, an integrated laccase and proline as a chemo-enzymatic co-catalyst system is developed. It enables an efficient oxidation/aldol enantioselective sequential reaction to be accomplished, overcoming the mutual deactivation issue. As we present in this study, this one-pot organic transformation, an initial laccase-mediated oxidation of arylbenzyl alcohols and cyclohexanol to form aldehydes and cyclohexanone, followed by a subsequent proline derivative-catalyzed aldol condensation of the in situ generated intermediates, provides various 1,2-diastereoisomeric chiral β-hydroxy ketones with acceptable yields and high enantio-/diastereoselectivities.

Two coordination polymers of Zn(II) and Cu(II) with n-butylmalonic acid have been achieved in this work. The crystallographic structural descriptions along with the sedimentary rock-type microstructural morphology of these two coordination polymers (CPs) have been explored. The reactivity of β-hydroxy ketones with these two CPs has also been investigated. The Zn(II)-CP shows a specific reactivity with β-hydroxy ketone at room temperature and in open air conditions. Through a microcolumn-based filtration technique, the Zn(II)-CP shows the capability to break the Csp3-Csp3 σ bonds of β-hydroxy ketone and simultaneously reduce the associated ketone to alcohol. Such conversion has been progressed without the use of any additional external reducing agent and any chemical workup or column chromatographic purification protocol. Other similar type CPs of Cu(II) and Mn(II) with n-butylmalonic acid completely failed to show similar reactivity with β-hydroxy ketone. On the basis of much experimental evidence, the most possible mechanistic pathway of the reactivity between β-hydroxy ketone and Zn(II)-CP has also been proposed through this work.
