1. Eiji Yamamoto,Kaoru Kobayashi,Kodai Wakafuji,Takashi Kamachi,Makoto Tokunaga, Theoretical Mechanistic Investigation of the Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of N-Protected Amino Acid Esters using Phase-Transfer Catalysts, Journal of Organic Chemistry, https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.joc.2c02352, 2023.02, [URL], A detailed theoretical mechanistic investigation on the dynamic kinetic resolution of N-protected amino acid esters using phase-transfer catalysts is described. Semiautomatic exhaustive conformation search of transition state (TS)-like structures were carried out using the ConFinder program and the pseudo-TS conformational search (PTSCS) method. This conformational search method successfully provided reasonable TS structures for determining the stereoselectivity in the asymmetric base hydrolysis of hexafluoroisopropyl (HFIP) esters as well as the racemization mechanism. Furthermore, the independent gradient model (IGM) analysis of the TS structures suggested that the H-bonding interactions with the oxyanion hole and π-stacking interactions are the common important features of the proposed TS structures that determine the stereoselectivity..

Control experiments clarified that a bulky tert-butyl group and phosphonium and thiourea moieties were necessary to achieve such high stereoselectivity. In addition, mechanistic investigations indicated the catalyst was converted to the corresponding betaine species, which served as a monomolecular catalyst..

The reaction of substituted benzyl acrylates with aryldiazonium salts and arylboronic acids gave the corresponding 3,3-diarylpropanoates in moderate to good yields with high enantioselectivies (up to 98:2 er). Substituents on the benzyl acrylate and CAPT catalyst significantly affect the enantioselectivity, and multidimensional parametrization identified correlations suggesting structural origins for the high stereocontrol..
