Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of organic chemistry and relates to a novel N, P, O tridentate chiral ligand based on a ferrocene skeleton. Background Art

[0002] In the past few decades, the field of asymmetric catalysis has made rapid progress. Various types of chiral ligands have been successfully synthesized and widely used in asymmetric catalytic reactions. These chiral ligands not only enrich the toolbox of asymmetric catalysis, but also significantly improve the enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity of the reaction. Common chiral ligands include bisphosphine ligands (such as BINAP, DPPF), oxazoline-phosphine ligands, bisoxazoline ligands (such as Box), phosphine-sulfur ligands, etc. These ligands show excellent performance in a variety of asymmetric catalytic reactions, such as asymmetric hydrogenation, Michael addition, asymmetric cycloaddition, asymmetric olefin metathesis, etc.

[0003] It is particularly worth mentioning that Liu Xinyuan's research group synthesized a N, O, P tridentate chiral ligand based on a benzene ring skeleton. This ligand exhibits excellent chemical selectivity and enantioselectivity in CX bonding reactions involving free radicals. Specifically, this type of ligand can effectively stabilize the transition state through its unique three-dimensional structure and electronic effect, thereby improving the selectivity of the reaction. In addition, these ligands have shown good versatility and stability in a variety of reaction systems, further expanding their scope of application.

[0004] Although the types and numbers of chiral ligands are already very rich, each skeleton of the ligand has unique properties and catalytic characteristics. Therefore, the development of new chiral ligands is still of great significance. Especially in the field of N, O, P tridentate chiral ligands, there are few related reports, and existing research mainly focuses on a few specific structures. Therefore, the development of N, O, P tridentate chiral ligands with new skeletons will not only help fill the gap in this field, but also provide more options and possibilities for asymmetric catalysis. This will be of great significance to promote the development of asymmetric catalysis, discover new efficient catalysts, and solve the limitations of existing catalysts.

[0005] In conclusion, with the continuous progress in the field of asymmetric catalysis, the development of new chiral ligands will continue to be one of the research focuses. In particular, the research on N, O, P tridentate chiral ligands is expected to provide new ideas and solutions for future asymmetric catalytic reactions. Summary of the invention
