Description

Chiral oranoboranes The invention relates to chiral organoboranes, the processes for their preparation and their use in particular as an asymmetrical reducing agent.
Thus, a subject of the invention is the compounds of general formulae I and II 1 B- X RB/R1 LiI m"R 2 X 2
H
I II in which either R 1 and R 2 represent, independently, a hydrogen atom or an alkyl or cycloalkyl radical, or R 1 and R 2 represent together a saturated divalent hydrocarbon group; Xi represents a halogen atom; and
X
2 represents a hydrogen or halogen atom.
In the definitions indicated above, the expression halogen represents a fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine atom, preferably fluorine, chlorine and bromine. The expression alkyl preferably represents a linear or branched alkyl radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and in particular an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as the methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl radicals.
The saturated cycloalkyl radicals can be chosen from the radicals having 3 to 7 carbon atoms such as the cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl or cyclooctyl radicals, optionally substituted by a lower alkyl group.
The expression saturated divalent hydrocarbon group contains 6 to 8 carbon atoms and can be represented by a group of bicyclo type or and preferably the type A subject of the invention is also a preparation process for the compounds of general formula I as defined above, characterized in that a compound of general formula III B H 2 is reacted with an appropriate unsaturated hydrogenated hydrogen compound in order to obtain a compound of formula IV in which R 1 and R 2 are as defined above, which product of formula IV is reacted with an organolithium compound of formula R'Li in which R' represents an organic group, in order to obtain the compound of formula I.
The expression an appropriate unsaturated hydrogenated hydrogen compound represents a hydrocarbon compound containing one or two double bond(s).
The expression organic group represents an alkyl or aryl radical, and preferably an alkyl radical such as tert-butyl.
Thus, the reaction of a cycloalkyldiene containing 6 to 8 carbon atoms with the compound of formula III, allows a compound of formula I to be obtained in which Ri M
M
and R 2 represent together a saturated divalent hydrocarbon group of 6 to 8 atoms respectively. Similarly, the obtaining of an alkyl and/or cycloalkyl radical on the boron atom of the compound of formula I, is achieved by reacting the corresponding alkene and/or cycloalkene respectively, with the compound of formula III. This means that a compound of formula I in which Ri represents an alkyl radical and R 2 a cycloalkyl radical is obtained by reacting the compound of formula III with an alkene having the same number of carbon atoms as the desired cycloalkyl radical. Of course, Ri and R 2 can represent the same radical.
A subject of the invention is also a preparation process for the compounds of general formula II as defined above. The preparation process for a compound of formula II in which Xi has the meaning indicated above and X 2 represents hydrogen, is characterized in that a compound of general formula III as defined above, is reacted with one mole of a hydrogen halide of formula HX 1 in which XI has the meaning indicated above. The preparation process for a compound of formula II in which X 1 has the meaning indicated above and X 2 represents a halogen, is characterized in that a compound of general formula III as defined above is reacted with one mole of a hydrogen halide HXI and with one mole of a hydrogen halide HX 2 Of course, Xi and X 2 can represent the same halogen atom.
The starting compound III is known, it can be prepared by the hydroboration of 2myrtenl 1,3-dithiane by diborane or by a complex of diborane with a Lewis acid (Patent EP 61408).
The compounds of formula I and II can thus be prepared in optically active form, starting from compound III in optically active form.
The compositions of the present invention are useful as an asymmetrical reducing agent.
A subject of the invention is also the use of the compounds of formulae I and II for asymmetrical reductions. Preferably, the compounds of the present invention are used for the stereospecific reduction of ketone or imine function(s). The stereospecfic reduction of a ketone or of an imine, consists in reacting the ketone or the imine with an enantiomer of a compound of general formula I or II.
The following examples are presented in order to illustrate the invention and should in no event be considered to limit the scope of the invention.
Example 1 Preparation of compound in which Xi X2 Cl 3 g (11 mmol) of compound is suspended in 60 ml of anhydrous ethyl ether in a 100 ml flask under nitrogen atmosphere. The suspension is then cooled down in a refrigerating bath to -60 0 C and 5.6 ml (25 mmol) of 4.5N hydrochloric ether is rapidly introduced. The bath is removed, then the temperature is maintained at -10 0 C for 2 hours 30 minutes. The product precipitates in the form of a white powder. The solvent is eliminated under vacuum. The overall yield is 83.7%, calculated on the basis of 2myrtenyl-1,3-dithiane borane.
The white solid is recovered in 20 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran and used as it is in the reductions.
Example 2.
Preparation of a compound of formula I, in which B--R 1 represents B R2 37 g of compound is poured into 140 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran. The temperature is taken to 0°C and 20 ml of cyclooctadiene in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran is added over 30 minutes. The reaction mixture is then heated under reflux overnight. After cooling down to -70 5 0 C, 81 ml of a 1.7M solution of t-butyllithium in pentane is added over 45 minutes. The reaction mixture is maintained at 70 5 0 C for another two hours, then the different solvents as well as the excess cyclooctadiene are eliminated Sunder reduced pressure and at ambient temperature. The residue obtained is taken up in 100 ml of MTBE. After agitation for 2 hours at ambient temperature, then decanting at 0 C, the liquid phase is separated. The white solid residue is washed with 100 ml of heptane at ambient temperature which is then immediately eliminated by filtering. After a last additional washing at ambient temperature with 100 ml of MTBE and drying under reduced pressure, 45.9 g of white crystals is obtained (yield These crystals are kept at 4°C under argon and sheltered from light.

CH
3 Cl CH3 N S 1 g (3.15 mmol) of compound I solubilized in 10 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran is added, at 0°C under nitrogen atmosphere, to a solution of 3.7 g (11 mmol) of compound as obtained in Example 1, solubilized in 20 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran. The solution is agitated for 48 hours at 25 0 C. The solvent is then eliminated under reduced pressure. The residue is taken up in 60 ml of ethyl ether and 2.6 g (25 mmol) of diethanolamine is added. The insoluble part is removed by filtering and the filtrate is Sconcentrated to dryness.
The residue represents 0.6 g of compound 2 with an enantiomeric composition of Example 4 Use of compound I obtained in Example 2, for the reduction of I 2 as defined above.
g of compound I as obtained above is dissolved in 45 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran Sunder an inert atmosphere. The reaction mixture is then held at a temperature of approximately -78 0 C using thermostat control, and 0.5 equivalent of compound I diluted in 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran is added over 30 minutes. The reaction is continued for 2 hours at approximately -78 0 C. The excess borohydride is neutralized with alcohol. The reaction mixture is dried under vacuum. The residue obtained is redissolved in 25 ml of ethyl ether and the organic phase is washed with water to a neutral pH. After dehydration with sodium sulphate, filtering and drying under vacuum, 8.9 g of a mixture is recovered which is separated by chromotography on a silica column. The ratio of the enantiomers of compound 2 is 96% Example Use of compound of formula I, in which B-RI represents B R2 prepared in situ for the reduction of 1>2 as defined above.
a) Preparation of compound 214.2 g myrtenyl dithiane dissolved in THF (1280 ml) is added to 9-bora bicyclco nonane. After dissolution, the reaction mixture is heated under reflux overnight, in order to complete the reaction, then cooled down to -80 0 C. Then tert butyl lithium is added over less than one hour, while maintaining the temperature between -60 and 800C.
Then, compound 1 )100 g) is added by portions over less than 15 minutes. The mixture is maintained for two hours at -60 0 C. At this precise moment compound 1 is entirely converted.
After treating as in the previous example, compound 2 is crystallized from hexane (530 ml), in order to produce 52.1 g with a composition 98.2% b) Preparation of compound 2 39.5 g of compound III is dissolved in THF (240 ml). The solution is cooled down to 0 C and incorporated in a solution of 1,5 cyclo octadien (15.9 g) in THF (45 ml).
