Abstract

The stereoselective synthesis of chiral terminal epoxide is of immense interest due to their utility as versatile starting materials as well as chiral intermediates. In this study, new chiral Co(salen) complexes bearing cobalt(II) chloride, iron(III) chloride and zinc(II) nitrate have been synthesized and characterized. The mass and EXAFS spectra provided the direct evidence of formation of complex. Their catalytic activity and selectivity have been demonstrated for the asymmetric ring opening of terminal epoxides such as styrene oxide and phenylglycidylether by hydrolytic kinetic resolution technology and for the synthesis of glycidyl buthylate. The easily prepared complexes exhibited very high enantioselectivity for the asymmetric ring opening of epoxides with $H_2O$ nucleophile, providing enantiomerically enriched terminal epoxides (>99% ee). The newly synthesized chiral salen showed remakablely enhanced reactivity with substantially low loadings. The system described in this work is very efficient for the sinthesis of chiral epoxide and 1,2-diol intermediates.

키랄성 말단기의 에폭사이드는 키랄중간체나 여러 출발물질로서 다양하게 이용되기 때문에 그 선택적인 합성법은 매우 유용하다. 본 연구에서는 염화코발트(II), 염화철(III) 및 질산아연(II)을 각각 함유한 키랄 코발트 살렌 촉매를 새로이 합성하고 그 특성을 평가하였다. 질량분석과 EXAF분석을 통하여 형성된 촉매 착체의 구조를 평가하였다. 합성한 촉매는 방향족 에폭사이드인 스타이렌 옥사이드와 페닐글리시딜 에테르의 속도차에 의한 비대칭 가수분해적 고리열림반응과 글리시틸부틸레이트의 합성반응에 적용하여 그 활성과 선택성을 조사하였다. 합성이 용이한 전이금속염함유 살렌착체 촉매는 물을 친핵체로 하는 라세믹 에폭사이드의 고리 열림을 통하여 99%ee 이상을 나타낼 정도의 매우 높은 광학선택성을 보였으며, 적은 양의 첨가로도 높은 활성을 보였다. 본 연구에서 적용한 촉매씨스템은 키랄 에폭사이드 및 1,2-디올 중간체의 제조에 매우 효과적이었다.
