Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of asymmetric catalysis, and particularly relates to a sheet-like supramolecular chiral copper catalyst based on molecular self-assembly and application thereof in asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction. BACKGROUND

[0002] Asymmetric catalysis is one of the core technologies of modern synthetic chemistry, and its goal is to produce single chiral product (enantiomer) with high selectivity through chiral catalyst. Developing chiral catalysts with high efficiency, high selectivity, novel structure and easy preparation is the continuous pursuit of the field.

[0003] For a long time, the design of chiral catalysts is often closely related to specific three-dimensional chiral structures. Among them, "spiral morphology" is considered as a classic structure paradigm for efficient transmission and amplification of chirality. Whether it is a naturally occurring spiral structure (such as DNA, α-helix protein) or an artificially synthesized spiral molecule (such as helical ene, helical chiral ligand, helical metal complex), its inherent helical chirality can provide a clear and pre-organized chiral microenvironment. This spatially twisted structure is believed to effectively distinguish the enantiomeric faces or enantiomers of the reactants, thereby achieving high levels of asymmetric induction. Therefore, in the design of many efficient chiral catalysts, constructing a catalytically active center with a spiral structure has become a widely adopted and successful strategy.

[0004] Although spiral structure catalysts have achieved great success, their design and synthesis usually involve complex multi-step organic synthesis or precise metal coordination self-assembly processes, which may lead to high cost, complicated steps or stability challenges. In addition, the prevailing view that the spiral morphology of the catalyst is an almost "necessary condition" or "gold standard" for achieving efficient asymmetric catalysis may limit the diversity and innovation of chiral catalyst structure design to some extent. Therefore, exploring and verifying whether chiral structures with non-traditional morphology (especially non-spiral morphology) can also effectively achieve asymmetric catalysis not only has important theoretical significance, but also opens up new ways for developing new chiral catalysts with simpler structure, more convenient synthesis and excellent performance.

[0005] The development of supramolecular chemistry provides a new platform for chiral catalysis. Through self-assembly processes driven by non-covalent interactions (such as hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, van der Waals forces, metal coordination, electrostatic interaction, etc.), chiral supramolecular assemblies with complex structures and dynamic adjustability can be constructed. Due to their easily controllable chiral microenvironment, synergistic effect and potential "self-repairing" ability, such assemblies have become a research hotspot in the field of chiral catalysis. However, most of the high-performance supramolecular chiral catalysts reported so far still tend to form "spiral structures" (such as helical strips, helical tubes, etc.) to utilize the inherent spatial asymmetry of the spiral morphology.

[0006] Based on the above background, the inventors designed and synthesized a sheet-like supramolecular chiral catalyst, the core innovation of which is that it is significantly different from the traditional "non-helical morphology" feature. Although the invention does not have a typical helical twisted structure, the sheet-like supramolecular assembly exhibits excellent asymmetric catalytic performance, and high yield and high enantioselectivity can be obtained. This discovery has challenged the traditional concept that "efficient asymmetric catalysis depends on helical morphology", and proved that carefully designed layered chiral superstructure can also construct effective chiral cavities or interfaces to realize precise control of the stereochemistry of the reaction. The invention provides an important theoretical and practical basis for developing non-helical morphology chiral catalysts with novel structure, excellent performance and easy to scale up. The invention provides a new strategy for developing non-helical supramolecular chiral catalysts, which has important application value in the field of asymmetric synthesis. SUMMARY

[0007] The invention provides a sheet-like supramolecular chiral copper catalyst based on molecular self-assembly and its application in asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction. Compared with traditional helical supramolecular catalysts, the invention opens up a new system of non-helical supramolecular chiral catalysts, providing a new design idea for the field of asymmetric catalysis.

[0008] To achieve the above technical purpose, the technical scheme of the invention is: The invention provides a sheet-like supramolecular chiral copper catalyst based on molecular self-assembly, which is prepared by the following preparation method: 1) Dissolve L -ThrC 10-20 in a solvent and stir to obtain a methanol solution of L -ThrC 10-20 ; 2) Under the stirring state of step 1), add ultrapure water to the system, which immediately produces white suspensions. After stirring, sheet-like supramolecular assemblies L -ThrC 10-20 -NS are obtained; 3) Add Cu 2+ , and after stirring, sheet-like supramolecular chiral copper catalyst L -ThrC 10-20 -NS-Cu(II) is obtained.

[0009] In step 1), the concentration of L -ThrC 10-20 is 2mM-6mM.

[0010] In step 1), the dissolving operation is magnetic stirring dissolution or ultrasonic dissolution.

[0011] In step 1), the temperature during stirring is 15-35℃, and the stirring time is 1-10 min.

[0012] In step 1), the solvent is methanol, ethanol or isopropanol.

[0013] In steps 2) and 3), the stirring time is 1-10 min.

[0014] The Cu 2+ The amount of addition is L -ThrC 10-20 The amount of addition is 1-10% mol.

[0015] The application also provides application of the plate-shaped supramolecular chiral copper catalyst based on molecular self-assembly in asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction, which comprises the following steps: transferring the plate-shaped supramolecular chiral copper catalyst to 0℃, and adding reactants cyclopentadiene and chalcone derivatives to perform asymmetric catalytic Diels-Alder reaction.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects: (1) The plate-shaped supramolecular chiral copper catalyst based on molecular self-assembly is successfully constructed for the first time. L -ThrC 16 Compared with Cu 2+ The plate-shaped supramolecular chiral copper catalyst based on molecular self-assembly L -ThrC 16 -NS-Cu(II) is constructed, which exhibits obvious enantioselectivity in Diels-Alder reaction and can efficiently catalyze the generation of S -endo configuration product (ee value is 45%).

[0017] (2) Through systematic structure-property relationship research, it is revealed that the stereoselectivity of the catalyst is derived from its unique plate-shaped supramolecular chiral microenvironment, and the ordered two-dimensional structure provides accurate spatial orientation control for the reaction substrate.

[0018] (3) Compared with the traditional helical supramolecular catalyst, the application opens up a new system of non-helical supramolecular chiral catalysts and provides a new design idea for the field of asymmetric catalysis.

[0019] (4) The research result not only provides a new strategy for developing efficient chiral catalysts, but also provides important experimental basis for deeply understanding the basic scientific problem of chiral induction and transmission mechanism through the correlation research between the structure of supramolecular assembly and the catalytic performance.
