Asymmetric synthesis of diarylmethylamines with high enantioselectivity (95-99% ee) was realized by use of a new C2-symmetric diene ligand, (1R,4R)-2,5-diphenylbicyclo[2.2.2]octa-2,5-diene (Ph-bod*), for the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric arylati

A new directed evolution approach is presented to enhance the activity of an enzyme and to manipulate stereoselectivity by focusing iterative saturation mutagenesis (ISM) simultaneously on residues lining the entrance tunnel and the binding pocket. This combined mutagenesis strategy was applied successfully to the monoamine oxidase from Aspergillus Niger (MAO-N) in the reaction of sterically demanding substrates which are of interest in the synthesis of chiral pharmaceuticals based on the benzo-piperidine scaffold. Reversal of enantioselectivity of Turner-type deracemization was achieved in the synthesis of (S)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-methyl-isoquinoline, (S)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-ethylisoquinoline and (S)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-isopropylisoquinoline. Extensive molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the altered catalytic profile is due to increased hydrophobicity of the entrance tunnel acting in concert with the altered shape of the binding pocket.

Bis-sulfamyl imines are shown to be potentially ideal substrates for rhodium-catalysed asymmetric additions of arylboron nucleophiles as they show: (i) near perfect enantioselectivities (11 examples, 98-99+% ee), (ii) good to excellent diastereoselectivities (10-32:1 rac:meso), and (iii) high functional group tolerance in removal of the low molecular weight protecting group via mild heating in aqueous pyridine.
