AI Technical Summary
No studies have been reported on the asymmetric hydrogenation of nickel-catalyzed α,β-unsaturated ketones to construct chiral centers, and selective reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones is prone to occur during hydrogenation to construct chiral alcohols.
Catalysts were prepared using nickel compounds and diphosphorus chiral ligands. Cycloalkanols with two continuous stereocenters were constructed via asymmetric hydrogenation. The reaction involved 1,2-reduction of C=C followed by 1,2-reduction of C=O, using solvents such as methanol and ethanol, and reacting at 50 °C to 80 °C under a 50 atm hydrogen atmosphere for 12 to 48 hours.
A good reduction effect and high chiral selectivity were achieved in α,β-unsaturated ketone substrates with different molecular structures, where hydrogen at specific positions of the conjugated ring were replaced by different substituents. The catalyst preparation was simple and stable.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of chemical synthesis, in particular to a method for constructing a cycloalkanol with two consecutive stereogenic centers by nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of a trisubstituted enone, and a double chiral alcohol prepared by the method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Chiral indenyl alcohol derivatives are the core structure of various natural products and synthetic bioactive compounds. For example,
[0003] Caulerpal A and Caulerprenylols B are two novel sesquiterpenes isolated from green algae, which have antifungal activity. Pterosin C is a natural product molecule isolated from Pteris multifida, which is used for antitumor and anti-inflammatory drugs. Chiral indenyl alcohol structures such as bevacizumab for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma and donepezil as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
[0004] Because the asymmetric reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones has three different results: selective reduction of C=C or C=O, and total reduction of C=C and C=O. Therefore, it is a major challenge to construct double chiral centers in one step by asymmetric reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones. According to literature research, the asymmetric reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones is mainly focused on noble metal catalysis.
[0005] In 2013, Glorius developed a chiral ruthenium-NHC complex to catalyze the asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-substituted flavones and chromones, forming enantiomerically enriched flavanones, flavanols, chromanones and chromanols (81:19-99:1 er, 1.3:1-8.3:1 dr).
[0006]
[0007] In 2016, Zhang Wanbin's research group reported a method for efficient synthesis of chiral cyclo-trans-β-amino alcohols by one-pot sequential asymmetric hydrogenation of α-dehydroamino ketones catalyzed by rhodium, with excellent enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity (89%-99% ee, 3:1-16:1 dr).
[0008]
[0009] In 2022, Zhang Xumou's team reported a method for asymmetric sequential hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated ketones catalyzed by Ir / fampha complex (86%->99% ee, 8:1->20:1 dr), which is a dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) method.
[0010]
[0011] Although the research on noble metal catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated ketones is relatively mature, there is only one report on inexpensive nickel catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated ketones. In 2019, Zhang Xumou's team studied the asymmetric hydrogenation of cyclohexadienone derivatives catalyzed by Ni / ( S , S )-Ph-BPE. The selective reduction of olefins is achieved by implementing an asymmetric strategy to construct a single chiral center in one step (92%-99% ee).
[0012]
[0013] However, there is no report on nickel catalyzed asymmetric sequential hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated ketones to construct double chiral centers in one step. SUMMARY
[0014] In view of the problem of less technical path for synthesizing chiral alcohol from α,β-unsaturated ketone in the prior art, and the problem of easy selective reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketone in the process of hydrogenation to construct chiral alcohol, the first aspect of the present application provides a method for nickel catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of trisubstituted enone to construct cycloalkanol with two consecutive stereogenic centers, as shown in reaction formula (A):
