Résumé

The importance of 1,5-O⋅⋅⋅chalcogen (Ch) interactions in isochalcogenourea catalysis (Ch=O, S, Se) is investigated. Conformational analyses of N-acyl isochalcogenouronium species and comparison with kinetic data demonstrate the significance of 1,5-O⋅⋅⋅Ch interactions in enantioselective catalysis. Importantly, the selenium analogue demonstrates enhanced rate and selectivity profiles across a range of reaction processes including nitronate conjugate addition and formal [4+2] cycloadditions. A gram-scale synthesis of the most active selenium analogue was developed using a previously unreported seleno-Hugerschoff reaction, allowing the challenging kinetic resolutions of tertiary alcohols to be performed at 500 ppm catalyst loading. Density functional theory (DFT) and natural bond orbital (NBO) calculations support the role of orbital delocalization (occurring by intramolecular chalcogen bonding) in determining the conformation, equilibrium population, and reactivity of N-acylated intermediates.

Both (2S,3R) and (3R,2S) enantiomers of 1-Se were prepared in this study. The seleno-Hugerschoff development and gram scale synthesis were performed giving (2S,3R)-1-Se. Further reactions and analysis were performed using (2R,3S)-1-Se.[18]
The instability of acyl salts of 1-O to hydrolysis meant that comparative data in multiple solvents to confirm the weakening effect on the C=O bond could not be reliably collected.

The connectivity between the acyl unit and the catalyst framework was confirmed by 1H,13C HMBC experiments.
Equilibrium constants were calculated using the equation: Kexp=[9-Ch]/[1-Ch][8] [Eq. (1)]. This calculation assumes that the ammonium salt is a tight ion pair defined by one concentration. It is, however, feasible that the equilibrium constant could be defined by the equation Kexp=[acyl ammonium][isobutyrate]/[1-Ch][8] [Eq. (2)], where the acyl ammonium and isobutyrate are considered separate species. Equilibrium constants calculated using Eq. (2) are given in the Supporting Information and demonstrate the same trend.[18] Units have been retained for Kexp values as they are calculated using concentrations determined under non-reference state conditions rather than activities.

The selectivity factor (s) is defined as the rate constant for the reaction of the fast-reacting enantiomer divided by the rate constant for the slow-reacting enantiomer and is calculated using equations defined by Kagan: H.
