Cinchona-based bifunctional catalysts have been extensively employed in the field of organocatalysis due to the incorporation of both hydrogen-bonding acceptors (quinuclidine) and hydrogen-bonding donors (e.g., alcohol, amide, (thio)urea and squaramide) in the molecule, which can simultaneously activate nucleophiles and electrophiles, respectively. Among them, cinchona-derived (thio)urea and squaramide catalysts have shown remarkable application potential by using their bifurcated hydrogen bonding donors in activating electrophilic carbonyls and imines. However, due to their bifunctional nature, they tend to aggregate via inter- and intramolecular acid-base interactions under certain conditions, which can lead to a decrease in the enantioselectivity of the reaction. To overcome this self-aggregation problem of bifunctional organocatalysts, we have successfully developed a series of sulfonamide-based organocatalysts, which do not aggregate under conventional reaction conditions. Herein, we summarize the recent applications of our cinchona-derived sulfonamide organocatalysts in highly enantioselective methanolytic desymmetrization and decarboxylative aldol reactions. Immobilization of sulfonamide-based catalysts onto solid supports allowed for unprecedented practical applications in the synthesis of valuable bioactive synthons with excellent enantioselectivities.

With current developments in enzyme-catalyzed reactions and techniques available for rational redesign of natural biocatalysts, the enzymatic biosynthesis can become one of the most valuable Synthetic methods. Enzymatic regioselective catalysis in organic media has played a key role in pursuing asymmetric synthesis for active chiral compounds. Here, we shortly do-scribe some historical issues of the rapidly growing area, enzymatic catalysis in synthetic organic chemistry and then review researches that have been carried out in the regioselective enzymatic catalysis for the past two decades. An application of this technology to the modification of some potential target drug co m pound will be adios presented.

Membrane technology can be applied in two ways to produce pure enantiomers. In one case a membrane separation process can be cmbined with an enantiospecific reaction to obtain so-called 'en-antiospecific membrane reacto' These systems are useful to carry out asymmetric synthesis or kinetic resolution and simulatneously separate the produced enantiomer. As for general membrane reactors the result is a more compact system with a higher conversion: in fact removal of a product drives equilibrium-limited reactions towards completion. The other way to apply membrane technology to chiral production is the use of intrinsically enantioselective membranes that are able to distinguish between two isomers favouring preferential transport of only one isomer in absence of reaction. In this paper the current development of chiral membrane processes will be discussed.

The $O_sO_4$-catalyzed dihydroxylations of a monosubstituted allylic amine and $\gamma-amino-\alpha,\;\beta-unsaturated$ (E)-esters with bulky alkyl groups showed a high anti-selectivity. Since the acyclic conformation of N-acyloxy protected allylic amines was efficiently controlled by a bulky t-Bu or OBO ester group, the anti diastereoselectivity of >12.5:1 was obtained without applying a chiral reagent. The synthetic utility of the present method was demonstrated by a stereoselective and efficient synthesis of an $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitor 15 from commercially available N-Cbz-L-serine 6 in 11 steps and 31% yield.

The catalytic enantioselective electrophilic fluorinations of active methine compounds promoted chiral palladium complexes have been developed. Treatment of $\beta$-keto phosphonates and $\beta$-ketoesters with N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide as the fluorine source under mild reaction conditions afforded the corresponding $\alpha$-fluorinated adducts in high yields with excellent enantiomeric excesses (up to 99% ee). These reactions can be conducted in alcoholic solvents without any precaution to exclude water and moisture.

The chiral amine auxiliary mediated stereoselective alkylation reactions of glycinamides 1-6 and 15-17 using phase transfer catalyst (PTC) for liquid-solid extraction are described. The secondary N-(diphenylmethylene) glycinamides 1, 2 and 3 give better selectivities and yields than tertiary N-(diphenylmethylene) glycinamides 4, 5 and 6. Alkylation of the glycinamide 1 and 2 using 18-Crown-6 as a PTC in toluene at $-40^{\circ}C$ gives best selectivities and yields. Alkylations of N-(4-chlorophenylmethylene)glycinamides 15, 16 and 17 under same PTC conditions give $\alpha$, $\alpha-disubstituted$ amino acid derivatives 18, 19 and 20 with low diastereoselectivities.

키랄성 말단기의 에폭사이드는 키랄중간체나 여러 출발물질로서 다양하게 이용되기 때문에 입체선택적인 합성방법은 학술적으로나 산업적인 관점에서 대단히 흥미롭다. 본 총설에서는 키랄성 코발트 살렌을 이용한 비대칭 고리열림 반응에 대한 연구개발동향을 고찰하였다. 여러 가지 가능한 합성방법 중에서 가수분해의 속도차에 의한 분리반응기술은 높은 광학순도의 터미널 에폭사이드를 합성할 수 있는 탁월한 방법이다. 본 저자들은 균일계 및 불균일계의 키랄성이핵성 살렌 착체를 합성하여, 에폭사이드의 고리를 여러 종류의 친핵체로 광학선택적으로 열고 다시 선택적으로 고리화시키는 한 단계의 반응에 대하여 그들의 활성을 조사하였다. 촉매와 염기 존재하에서 고리 열림과 닫음 반응을 조합시킴으로써 고수율로 높은 광학순도의 에폭사이드를 제조할 수 있었다. 이들 촉매는 공업적인 규모로 키랄 중간체를 생산하는데 이용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 가수분해 속도차이에 따른 분리반응 기술을 적용하여 여러 종류의 키랄성 화합물을 제조한 연구실험 결과를 서술하였다.

본 연구에서는 키랄 코발트 살렌 촉매 존재 하에서 에폭사이드 화합물의 비대칭 고리 열림 반응(EKR)에 미치는 초음파 조사 효과를 기존의 기계적 교반법과 비교하여 고찰하였다. 촉매의 활성을 비교하기 위하여 $AlCl_3,\;BF_3$ 및 니트로벤젠술폰산(NBSA)이 결합된 키랄 코발트 살렌을 합성 사용하였으며, 반응물로는 에피클로로히드린(ECH), 에폭시페녹시프로판(EPP) 및 프로필렌 옥사이드(PO)를 친핵체로는 물과 메탄올을 각각 사용하여 EKR 반응을 수행하였다. 이 반응에서 반응물을 혼합시키는 조작의 일환으로써 초음파를 반응계에 적용한 경우가 통상의 기계적인 교반보다 반응속도를 현저히 증가시키는 결과를 나타내었다. 최고의 거울상 이성체 과잉도 값인 99 ee%를 얻는데 요하는 반응시간은 초음파를 적용하였을 때가 격렬한 물리적 교반을 행한 경우보다 60% 이상 단축되었으며, 이는 용액 중에서 발생하는 초음파의 공동화 현상에 의해 형성된 강한 전단력에 의한 결과로 해석된다.

Microbial oxidoreductive systems have been widely used in asymmetric syntheses of optically active alcohols. However, when reused in multi-batch reaction, the catalytic efficiency and sustainability of non-growing cells usually decreased because of continuous consumption of required cofactors during the reaction process. A novel method for NADPH regeneration in cells was proposed by using pentose metabolism in microorganisms. Addition of D-xylose, L-arabinose, or D-ribose to the reaction significantly improved the conversion efficiency of deracemization of racemic 1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol to (S)-isomer by Candida parapsilosis cells already used once, which afforded the product with high optical purity over 97%e.e. in high yield over 85% under an increased substrate concentration of 15 g/l. Compared with reactions without xylose, xylose added to multi-batch reactions had no influence on the activity of the enzyme catalyzing the key step in deracemization, but performed a promoting effect on the recovery of the metabolic activity of the non-growing cells with its consumption in each batch. The detection of activities of xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase from cell-free extract of C. parapsilosis made xylose metabolism feasible in cells, and the depression of the pentose phosphate pathway inhibitor to this reaction further indicated that xylose facilitated the NADPH-required deracemization through the pentose phosphate pathway in C. parapsilosis. moreover, by investigating the cofactor pool, the xylose addition in reaction batches giving more NADPH, compared with those without xylose, suggested that the higher catalytic efficiency and sustainability of C. parapsilosis non-growing cells had resulted from xylose metabolism recycling NADPH for the deracemization.
