Chirality can be broken into four categories, central, axial, helical and planar.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Prof. Greg Fu's DMAP complex [C1], analogous to ferrocene, displays planar chirality and has shown broad application in asymmetric catalysis (Fig. 1a).[7][8] Fu first reported the synthesis of planar DMAP complex [C1] in 1998 (Fig. 1c).[9] Synthesis was accomplished using a six-step route starting with para-nitration of commercially available 2,3-cyclopentenopyridine N-oxide. This was followed by sequential chlorination, dimethylamine SNAr, and acetylation using a Boekelheide reaction.[10] Sequential alcohol elimination, benzylic deprotonation and treatment with Iron (II) chloride and then pentaphenyl cyclopentadiene afforded racemic complex [C1]. Enantiomers were separated using chiral HPLC and X-Ray diffraction was used to characterize complex [C1] as an Iron 2+, d6, six coordinate 18 electron complex.[9][11]

Mechanism
[edit]Studies indicate the application of Fu's planar DMAP complex in catalysis can enable the control of enantioselectivity by two mechanistic pathways (Fig. 2). Planar DMAP can act as a Brønsted base enabling deprotonation of protic nucleophiles forming planar Brønsted acid-base ion pair complexes (pathway A).[12] These have been demonstrated to engage in enantioselective addition to electrophiles such as carbonyls.[12] Alternatively nucleophilic addition of planar DMAP to electrophiles can enable the generation of planar DMAP-electrophile complexes which can engage in enantioselective substitution (pathway B).[9]

Application in Asymmetric Catalysis
[edit]Planar DMAP complexes (Fig. 3) have shown broad utility in asymmetric catalysis covering various reaction classes including desymmetrizations (Fig. 3a-c),[9][13][14] nucleophilic additions (Fig. 3d-e),[15][16][17][12] and annulation reactions (Fig. 4).[18][19][20] Treatment of racemic alcohols (Fig. 3a) and amines (Fig. 3b) with acylating reagents alongside complexes [C1] and [C3] has enabled preferential acylation of a single enantiomers.[13][14] This enabled separation of alcohols and amines using a kinetic resolution type strategy. Studies indicate these reactions proceed mechanistically via nucleophilic planar DMAP catalysis (pathway B) with planar DMAP attacking acylating reagents.[13][14] Application of this technique to meso alcohols (Fig. 3d) via the same mechanism (pathway B) has also enabled preferential enantiomer acetylation and separation via a kinetic resolution approach.[9]

Application of [C1] has also enabled the asymmetric addition of various nitrogen and oxygen centered nucleophiles to ketenes including azoles, phenols, and enolates.[15][16][17] In the case of pyrrole and phenol nucleophiles, mechanistic studies suggest the planar DMAP catalysts engage in planar Brønsted acid-base catalysis (pathway A).[15] Mechanistic studies are yet to determine if enolate nucleophilic attack proceeds by pathways A or B.[16] Modification of this system has also enabled the asymmetric nucleophilic addition of hydrazoic acid to ketenes followed by Curtius rearrangement to the corresponding carbamates. Mechanistic studies indicate this transformation proceeds via planar Brønsted acid-base catalysis pathway A.[12]

Treatment of ketenes with aldehydes and tosyl protected imines using complex [C1] (Fig. 4a-b) has enabled the asymmetric generation of lactones and lactams. Mechanistic studies indicate these may proceed via nucleophilic planar DMAP catalysis (pathway B)[18][19] The coupling of a,b-unsaturated acyl fluorides in [3+2] cycloadditions (Fig. 4c) has been proven to proceed via a nucleophilic catalytic pathway.[20] X-Ray crystallography studies enabled the isolation and characterization of reactive intermediates. This suggested the reaction proceeds via nucleophilic attack of planar DMAP to the acyl fluoride with concomitant allyl silane deprotecting, resulting in a facially selective [3+2] cycloaddition affording cyclopentones.[20][21]
