Chiral Recognition and Dynamic Thermodynamic Resolution of Sulfoxides by Chiral Iridium(III) Complexes.

Inorganic Chemistry 2017 January 18
The optically active Ir(III) complex Λ-[Ir(ppy)2 (MeCN)2 ](PF6 ) (ppy is 2-phenylpyridine) with a chiral-at-metal was first demonstrated to preferentially react with (R)-configuration sulfoxides 2-(alkylsulfinyl)phenol (HLO-R, R = Me, Et,i Pr, and Bn) rather than (S)-configuration sulfoxides under thermodynamic equilibrium due to the hydrogen-bonding interaction and the differences in the steric interference, and thus act as a highly efficient enantioreceptor for resolution of sulfoxide enatiomers. Treatment of Λ-[Ir(ppy)2 (MeCN)2 ](PF6 ) with 2 equiv of rac-HLO-R offered (S)-HLO-R in yields of 46-47% with 97-99% enantiomeric excess (ee) values and Λ-[Ir(ppy)2 {(S)-LO-R}] complex in yields of 89-93% with 98% diastereomeric excess (de). The (R)-HLO-R chiral sulfoxides were obtained by the acidolysis of Λ-[Ir(ppy)2 {(S)-LO-R}] complexes with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in the presence of coordinated solvent MeCN in yields of 45-47% with 98-99% ee values. Moreover, the enantioreceptor Λ-[Ir(ppy)2 (MeCN)2 ](PF6 ) can be recycled in a yield of 86-91% with complete retention of the configuration at metal center and can be reused in a next reaction cycle without loss of reaction activity and enantioselectivity. The absolute configurations at the metal centers and sulfur atoms were determined by X-ray crystallography.
