Professor Zhang Yongqiang of Shandong University has developed a series of (Salen)Ti catalysts. This series of catalysts has a deep chiral environment, excellent enantioselective control, and covers the dual functions of chiral Lewis acids and chiral metal radicals. It can be used in many applications. A variety of chemical transformations with high enantioselectivity [1-3], such as asymmetric hydrogen atom transfer reduction reaction of glycidic acid esters, asymmetric allylation reaction of glycidic acid esters, etc. Such catalysts help achieve excellent enantioselective control in organic synthetic transformations.

Application examples

With the help of (Salen)Ti catalyst in a deeply chiral environment, a highly enantioselective allylation reaction of epoxy compounds was achieved, and a chiral all-carbon quaternary carbon structure that was extremely challenging to synthesize was constructed; epoxy compounds were developed catalytic asymmetric hydrogen atom transfer reaction to construct a chiral tertiary carbon structure.
