DuPhos是一種用於不對稱合成中的不對稱配體。DuPhos之名稱取自其研發公司(DuP,杜邦公司)和化合物的種類:膦雜環(Phos)。這種二膦配體首先由化學家M.J. Burk於1991年發現, [1][2] 並首次在不對稱氫化反應中,成功地將特定的烯基酰氨酯還原為氨基酸前體:

同期發現其他有機磷不對稱配體有諸如:DIPAMPBINOLChiraphos,而後期發現了一批新的配體被證明比前者更具活性。

描述

DuPhos配體由兩個2,5-烷基取代膦雜環(THF的磷類似物)通過1,2-苯橋連而成。這裡的烷基可以是:甲基乙基丙基異丙基。DuPhos的類似物,雙(二甲基膦)乙烷或BPE配體[3][4] 相當於苯基橋被1,2-乙基所替代之產物。該兩種化合物都可通過相應的手性二醇化合物,轉化為環狀硫酸鹽,繼而與雙鋰二苯基膦反應製備獲得。DuPhos配體中,磷原子屬於富電子原子團,使形成的金屬絡合物具有強活性。磷原子還引入了一種假-手性,使對映體選擇性不受整個分子的化學構象影響。[5] DuPhos的另一種早期應用,是通過還原胺化反應合成非天然手性氨基酸[6] 如先通過二苯甲酮苯甲酰氯合成的得到亞胺,而後在DuPhos催化下發生不對稱氫化反應,最後脫去苯甲酰保護基得到非天然手性氨基酸產物:[7]

 

在早期的過渡金屬催化反應中,是常用的催化劑,直到在1995年才引入了催化劑,[8] 實例是氫化還原β-酮酯的羰基,合成手性的β-羥基酯:

 

應用

DuPhos的一個不對稱合成實例為催化「脫氫華法林」氫化為華法林的反應:[9]

 

Duphos還可用於合成色氨酸的衍生物。[10]

BozPhos配體

使用硼烷二甲硫醚作為保護基,在過氧化氫條件下單氧化(R,R)-Me-Duphos即得到BozPhos。[11][12] 該配體可用於銅-催化的二有機鋅試劑對N-二苯基次磷酰亞胺的不對稱加成反應。
