Computational molecular refinement to enhance enantioselectivity by reinforcing hydrogen bonding interactions in major reaction pathway† † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/d3sc01637d

ABSTRACT: Computational analyses have revealed that the distortion of a catalyst and the substrates and their interactions are key to determining the stability of the transition state. Hence, two strategies “distortion strategy” and “interaction strategy” can be proposed for improving enantiomeric excess in enantioselective reactions. The “distortion strategy” is used as a conventional approach that destabilizes the TS (transition state) of the minor pathway. On the other hand, the “interaction strategy” focuses on the stabilization of the TS of the major pathway in which an enhancement of the reaction rate is expected. To realize this strategy, we envisioned the TS stabilization of the major reaction pathway by reinforcing hydrogen bonding and adopted the chiral phosphoric acid-catalysed enantioselective Diels–Alder reaction of 2-vinylquinolines with dienylcarbamates. The intended “interaction strategy” led to remarkable improvements in the enantioselectivity and reaction rate. In the chiral phosphoric acid-catalysed Diels–Alder reaction of 2-vinylquinolines and dienylcarbamates, an "interaction strategy" aided by computational studies resulted in a remarkable improvement in enantioselectivity and reaction rate.

Computational evidence for intramolecular hydrogen bonding and nonbonding X···O interactions in 2'-haloflavonols.

Project description:The conformational isomerism and stereoelectronic interactions present in 2'-haloflavonols were computationally analyzed. On the basis of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, the conformer stabilities of 2'-haloflavonols were found to be dictated mainly by a C=O···H-O intramolecular hydrogen bond, but an unusual C-F···H-O hydrogen-bond and intramolecular C-X···O nonbonding interactions are also present in such compounds.

C-H⋯S hydrogen bonding interactions.

Project description:The short C-H⋯S contacts found in available structural data for both small molecules and larger biomolecular systems suggest that such contacts are an often overlooked yet important stabilizing interaction. Moreover, many of these short C-H⋯S contacts meet the definition of a hydrogen bonding interaction. Using available structural data from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), as well as selected examples from the literature in which important C-H⋯S contacts may have been overlooked, we highlight the generality of C-H⋯S hydrogen bonding as an important stabilizing interaction. To uncover and establish the generality of these interactions, we compare C-H⋯S contacts with other traditional hydrogen bond donors and acceptors as well as investigate how coordination number and metal bonding affect the preferred geometry of interactions in the solid state. This work establishes that the C-H⋯S bond meets the definition of a hydrogen bond and serves as a guide to identify C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds in diverse systems.

Hydrogen Bonding with Hydridic Hydrogen-Experimental Low-Temperature IR and Computational Study: Is a Revised Definition of Hydrogen Bonding Appropriate?

Project description:Spectroscopic characteristics of Me3Si-H···Y complexes (Y = ICF3, BrCN, and HCN) containing a hydridic hydrogen were determined experimentally by low-temperature IR experiments based on the direct spectral measurement of supersonically expanded intermediates on a cold substrate or by the technique of argon-matrix isolation as well as computationally at harmonic and one-dimensional anharmonic levels. The computations were based on DFT-D, MP2, MP2-F12, and CCSD(T)-F12 levels using various extended AO basis sets. The formation of all complexes related to the redshift of the Si-H stretching frequency upon complex formation was accompanied by an increase in its intensity. Similar results were obtained for another 10 electron acceptors of different types, positive σ-, π-, and p-holes and cations. The formation of HBe-H···Y complexes, studied only computationally and again containing a hydridic hydrogen, was characterized by the blueshift of the Be-H stretching frequency upon complexation accompanied by an increase in its intensity. The spectral shifts and stabilization energies obtained for all presently studied hydridic H-bonded complexes were comparable to those in protonic H-bonded complexes, which has prompted us to propose a modification of the existing IUPAC definition of H-bonding that covers, besides the classical protonic form, the non-classical hydridic and dihydrogen forms.

(Radio)fluoroclick Reaction Enabled by a Hydrogen-Bonding Cluster.

Project description:We have developed a widely applicable nucleophilic (radio)fluoroclick reaction of ynamides with readily available and easy-to-handle KF(18 F). The reactions exhibited high functional-group tolerance and needed only an ambient atmosphere. This 18 F addition to C-C unsaturated bonds proceeded with extraordinarily high radiochemical yields.

Hydrogen-Bonding Interactions of 8-Substituted Purine Derivatives.

Project description:Hydrogen bonding between nucleobases is a crucial noncovalent interaction for life on Earth. Canonical nucleobases form base pairs according to two main geometries: Watson-Crick pairing, which enables the static functions of nucleic acids, such as the storing of genetic information; and Hoogsteen pairing, which facilitates the dynamic functions of these biomacromolecules. This precisely tuned system can be affected by oxidation or substitution of nucleobases, leading to changes in their hydrogen-bonding patterns. This paper presents an investigation into the intermolecular interactions of various 8-substituted purine derivatives with their hydrogen-bonding partners. The systems were analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. Our results demonstrate that the stability of hydrogen-bonded complexes, or base pairs, depends primarily on the number of intermolecular H-bonds and their donor-acceptor alternation. No strong preferences for a particular geometry, either Watson-Crick or Hoogsteen, were found.

Non-bonding 1,5-S···O interactions govern chemo- and enantioselectivity in isothiourea-catalyzed annulations of benzazoles.

Project description:Isothiourea-catalyzed annulations between 2-acyl benzazoles and α,β-unsaturated acyl ammonium intermediates are selectively tuned to form either lactam or lactone heterocycles in good yields (up to 95%) and high ee (up to 99%) using benzothiazole or benzoxazole derivatives, respectively. Computation gives insight into the significant role of two 1,5-S···O interactions in controlling the structural preorganization and chemoselectivity observed within the lactam synthesis with benzothiazoles as nucleophiles. When using benzazoles the absence of a second stabilizing non-bonding 1,5-S···O interaction leads to a dominant C-H···O interaction in determining structural preorganization and lactone formation.

Silver-Catalyzed Enantioselective Sulfimidation Mediated by Hydrogen Bonding Interactions.

Project description:An enantioselective sulfimidation of 3-thiosubstituted 2-quinolones and 2-pyridones was achieved with a stoichiometric nitrene source (PhI=NNs) and a silver-based catalyst system. Key to the success of the reaction is the use of a chiral phenanthroline ligand with a hydrogen bonding site. The enantioselectivity does not depend on the size of the two substituents at the sulfur atom but only on the binding properties of the heterocyclic lactams. A total of 21 chiral sulfimides were obtained in high yields (44-99 %) and with significant enantiomeric excess (70-99 % ee). The sulfimidation proceeds with high site-selectivity and can also be employed for the kinetic resolution of chiral sulfoxides. Mechanistic evidence suggests the intermediacy of a heteroleptic silver complex, in which the silver atom is bound to one molecule of the chiral ligand and one molecule of an achiral 1,10-phenanthroline. Support for the suggested reaction course was obtained by ESI mass spectrometry, DFT calculations, and a Hammett analysis.

Harnessing Ionic Interactions and Hydrogen Bonding for Nucleophilic Fluorination.

Project description:We review recent works for nucleophilic fluorination of organic compounds in which the Coulombic interactions between ionic species and/or hydrogen bonding affect the outcome of the reaction. SN2 fluorination of aliphatic compounds promoted by ionic liquids is first discussed, focusing on the mechanistic features for reaction using alkali metal fluorides. The influence of the interplay of ionic liquid cation, anion, nucleophile and counter-cation is treated in detail. The role of ionic liquid as bifunctional (both electrophilic and nucleophilic) activator is envisaged. We also review the SNAr fluorination of diaryliodonium salts from the same perspective. Nucleophilic fluorination of guanidine-containing of diaryliodonium salts, which are capable of forming hydrogen bonds with the nucleophile, is exemplified as an excellent case where ionic interactions and hydrogen bonding significantly affect the efficiency of reaction. The origin of experimental observation for the strong dependence of fluorination yields on the positions of -Boc protection is understood in terms of the location of the nucleophile with respect to the reaction center, being either close to far from it. Recent advances in the synthesis of [18F]F-dopa are also cited in relation to SNAr fluorination of diaryliodonium salts. Discussions are made with a focus on tailor-making promoters and solvent engineering based on ionic interactions and hydrogen bonding.

Cooperative Tridentate Hydrogen-Bonding Interactions Enable Strong Underwater Adhesion.

Project description:Multidentate hydrogen-bonding interactions are a promising strategy to improve underwater adhesion. Molecular and macroscale experiments have revealed an increase in underwater adhesion by incorporating multidentate H-bonding groups, but quantitatively relating the macroscale adhesive strength to cooperative hydrogen-bonding interactions remains challenging. Here, we investigate whether tridentate alcohol moieties incorporated in a model epoxy act cooperatively to enhance adhesion. We first demonstrate that incorporation of tridentate alcohol moieties leads to comparable adhesive strength with mica and aluminum in air and in water. We then show that the presence of tridentate groups leads to energy release rates that increase with an increase in crack velocity in air and in water, while materials lacking these groups do not display rate-dependent adhesion. We model the rate-dependent adhesion to estimate the activation energy of the interfacial bonds. Based on our data, we estimate the lifetime of these bonds to be between 2 ms and 6 s, corresponding to an equilibrium activation energy between 23kBT and 31kBT. These values are consistent with tridentate hydrogen bonding, suggesting that the three alcohol groups in the Tris moiety bond cooperatively form a robust adhesive interaction underwater.

Hydrogen-Bonding Interactions in Pyridinium-Based Ionic Liquids and Dimethyl Sulfoxide Binary Systems: A Combined Experimental and Computational Study.

Project description:The addition of highly polar and aprotic cosolvents to ionic liquids has proven to considerably decrease the viscosity of the solution and improve mass transfer in many chemical reactions. In this work, the interactions between a representative pyridinium-based ionic liquid, N-butylpyridinium dicyanamide ([Bpy][DCA]), and a cosolvent, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), were studied in detail by the combined use of attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), and density functional theory calculations. Several species in the [Bpy][DCA]-DMSO mixtures have been identified, that is, ion clusters can translate into ion pairs during the dilution process. DMSO formed hydrogen bonds (H bonds) simultaneously with [Bpy]+ cations and [DCA]- anions but stronger hydrogen-bonding interactions with the [Bpy]+ cations than the [DCA]- anions, and the intrinsic hydrogen-bond networks of IL were difficult to interrupt at low DMSO concentrations. Interestingly, hydrogen-bonding interactions reach the strongest when the molar fraction of DMSO is 0.4-0.5. Hydrogen-bonding interactions are prominent in the chemical shifts of hydrogen atoms in [Bpy]+ cations, and anisotropy is the main reason for the upfield shifts of DMSO in the presence of [Bpy][DCA]. The theoretical calculations offer in-depth studies of the structural evolution and NMR calculation.
