          Abstract

          Most tertiary amines with a stereogenic nitrogen center undergo rapid racemization at room temperature. Consequently, the quaternization of amines under dynamic kinetic resolution seems feasible. N-Methyl tetrahydroisoquinolines are converted into configurationally stable ammonium ions by Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation. The optimization of conditions and the evaluation of the substrate scope enabled high conversions and an enantiomeric ratio of up to 10:90. We report here the first examples for the enantioselective catalytic synthesis of chiral ammonium ions.

          Enantioselective remote C–H activation directed by a chiral cation

          Chiral cations have been used extensively as organocatalysts, but their application to rendering transition metal–catalyzed processes enantioselective remains rare. This is despite the success of the analogous charge-inverted strategy in which cationic metal complexes are paired with chiral anions. We report here a strategy to render a common bipyridine ligand anionic and pair its iridium complexes with a chiral cation derived from quinine. We have applied these ion-paired complexes to long-range asymmetric induction in the desymmetrization of the geminal diaryl motif, located on a carbon or phosphorus center, by enantioselective C–H borylation. In principle, numerous common classes of ligand could likewise be amenable to this approach.

              Ion-paired chiral ligands for asymmetric palladium catalysis

              Conventional chiral ligands rely on the use of a covalently constructed, single chiral molecule embedded with coordinative functional groups. Here, we report a new strategy for the design of a chiral ligand for asymmetric transition-metal catalysis; our approach is based on the development of an achiral cationic ammonium-phosphine hybrid ligand paired with a chiral binaphtholate anion. This ion-paired chiral ligand imparts a remarkable stereocontrolling ability to its palladium complex, which catalyses a highly enantioselective allylic alkylation of α-nitrocarboxylates. By exploiting the possible combinations of the achiral onium entities with suitable coordinative functionalities and readily available chiral acids, this approach should contribute to the development of a broad range of metal-catalysed, stereoselective chemical transformations.
