Papers
1. Ryuhei Ikeda, Ryoichi Kuwano, Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Isoxazolium Triflates with a Chiral Iridium Catalyst, CHEMISTRY A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, 10.1002/chem.201600732, 22, 25, 8610-8618, 2016.06, The iridium catalyst [IrCl(cod)]2–phosphine–I2 (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) selectively reduced isoxazolium triflates to isoxazolines or isoxazolidines in the presence of H2. The iridium-catalyzed hydrogenation proceeded in high-to-good enantioselectivity when an optically active phosphine–oxazoline ligand was used. The 3-substituted 5-arylisoxazolium salts were transformed into 4-isoxazolines with up to 95:5 enantiomeric ratio (e.r.). Chiral cis-isoxazolidines were obtained in up to 89:11 e.r., with no formation of their trans isomers, when the substrates had a primary alkyl substituent at the 5-position. The mechanistic studies indicate that the hydridoiridium(III) species prefers to deliver its hydride to the C5 atom of the isoxazole ring. The hydride attack leads to the formation of the chiral isoxazolidine via a 3-isoxazoline intermediate. Meanwhile, in the selective formation of 4-isoxazolines, hydride attack at the C5 atom may be obstructed by steric hindrance from the 5-aryl substituent..

Ed., 10.1002/anie.201201153, 51, 17, 4136-4139, 2012.04, 炭素原子のみで構成される芳香環であるナフタレンの高エナンチオ選択的な触媒的不斉水素化の開発に世界で初めて成功した。不斉配位子PhTRAPのルテニウム錯体を触媒として用いることによって、最高で92% eeの水素化生成物が得られる。このような官能基の触媒的不斉水素化はこれまでに報告がなかった。.
