Cyclodextrines confinantes : synthèse, propriétés complexantes et utilisation en catalyse asymétrique

subject

description

This manuscript is concerned with the design of novel catalytic systems derived from metallocyclodextrins. The first part describes new ways of functionalising the cyclodextrin primary face regioselectively for accessing inherently chiral P,P’ chelators. These heterodentate ligands gavequantitatively cis-chelate complexes with various d8 cations. Their rhodium(I) complexes were assessed in the asymmetric hydrogenation and hydroformylation of prochiral olefins. Thecoordination and catalytic properties of two phosphines derived from a- and b-cyclodextrin are also reported. With their phosphorus lone pair pointing toward the CD core, these confining ligands force the coordinated metal centre to stay within the CD hollow and promote the formation of singly phosphorus-ligated complexes. Rhodium (I) monophosphine complexes of this type catalyse the asymmetric hydroformylation of styrene with both very high isoselectivity and enantioselectivity. Capping of diaminocyclodextrins with acenaphthenequinone resulted in the formation of a nonsymmetricN-(2-N’-alkylaminoacenaphthenyl)alkylimine handle with two intra-annular nitrogen atoms. A strong deformation of the cyclodextrin scaffold was shown to take place upon chemical or electrochemical oxidation of the bridging unit into the very short 1,2-disubstituted imidazole moiety.
