The development of highly efficient and enantioselective heterogeneous catalysts based on earth-abundant elements and inexpensive chiral ligands is essential for environment-friendly and economical production of optically active compounds. We report a strategy of synthesizing chiral amino alcohol-functionalized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to afford highly enantioselective single-site base-metal catalysts for asymmetric organic transformations. The chiral MOFs (vol-UiO) were prepared by grafting of chiral amino alcohol such as l-valinol within the pores of aldehyde-functionalized UiO-MOFs via formation of imine linkages. The metalation of vol-UiO with FeCl2 in THF gives amino alcohol coordinated octahedral FeII species of vol-FeCl(THF)3 within the MOFs as determined by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Upon activation with LiCH2SiMe3, vol-UiO-Fe catalyzed hydrosilylation and hydroboration of a range of aliphatic and aromatic carbonyls to afford the corresponding chiral alcohols with enantiomeric excesses up to 99%. Vol-UiO-Fe catalysts have high turnover numbers of up to 15 ?000 and could be reused at least 10 times without any loss of activity and enantioselectivity. The spectroscopic, kinetic, and computational studies suggest iron-hydride as the catalytic species, which undergoes enantioselective 1,2-insertion of carbonyl to give an iron-alkoxide intermediate. The subsequent σ-bond metathesis between Fe-O bond and Si-H bond of silane produces chiral silyl ether. This work highlights the importance of MOFs as the tunable molecular material for designing chiral solid catalysts based on inexpensive natural feedstocks such as chiral amino acids and base-metals for asymmetric organic transformations.

Chiral heterogeneous catalysts have been synthesized by grafting of silyl derivatives of (1R, 2R)- or (1S, 2S)-1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamine on SBA-15 mesoporous support. The mesoporous material SBA-15 and so-prepared chiral heterogeneous catalysts were characterized by a combination of different techniques such as X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area. Results showed that (1R, 2R)- and (1S, 2S)-1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamine were successively immobilized on SBA-15 mesoporous support. Chiral heterogeneous catalysts and their homogenous counterparts were tested in enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones and enantioselective Michael addition of acetylacetone to β-nitroolefin derivatives. The catalysts demonstrated notably high catalytic conversions (up to 99%) with moderate enantiomeric excess (up to 30% ee) for the heterogeneous enantioselective transfer hydrogenation. The catalytic performances for enantioselective Michael reaction showed excellent activities (up to 99%) with poor enantioselectivities. Particularly, the chiral heterogeneous catalysts could be readily recycled for Michael reaction and reused in three consecutive catalytic experiments with no loss of catalytic efficacies.

The direct enantioselective hydroxylation of benzylic C-H bonds to form chiral benzylic alcohols represents a challenging transformation. Herein, we report on the exploration of new biologically inspired manganese and iron complexes bearing highly electron-rich aminopyridine ligands containing 4-pyrrolidinopyridine moieties ((S,S)-1, (R,R)-1, 2 and 5) in combination with chiral bis-pyrrolidine and N,N-cyclohexanediamine backbones in enantioselective oxidation catalysis with aqueous H2O2. The current manganese complexes outperform the analogous manganese complexes containing 4-dimethylaminopyridine moieties (3 and 4) in benzylic oxidation reactions in terms of alcohol yield while keeping similar ee values (~60% ee), which is attributed to the higher basicity of the 4-pyrrolidinopyridine group. A detailed investigation of different carboxylic acid additives in enantioselective benzylic oxidation provides new insights into how to rationally enhance enantioselectivities by means of proper tuning of the environment around the catalytic active site, and has resulted in the selection of Boc-l-Tert-leucine as the preferred additive. Using these optimized conditions, manganese complex 2 was shown to be effective in the enantioselective benzylic oxidation of a series of arylalkane substrates with up to 50% alcohol yield and 62% product ee. A final set of experiments also highlights the use of the new 4-pyrrolidinopyridine-based complexes in the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins (up to 98% epoxide yield and >99% ee).
