Description

  The present invention relates to an optically active 2,3-bis (dialkylphosphino) pyrazine derivative and a method for producing the same. This pyrazine derivative is useful as a ligand for an asymmetric catalyst of a metal complex used in an asymmetric synthesis reaction. The present invention also relates to a metal complex for an asymmetric synthesis catalyst having the pyrazine derivative as a ligand.

  An optically active phosphine ligand having an asymmetric center on the P atom plays an important role in a catalytic asymmetric synthesis reaction using a transition metal complex. However, in general, the phosphine ligand often has a large number of reaction stages until the desired product is obtained from the starting material. Therefore, a phosphine ligand that can be synthesized more simply than before has been desired. In addition, the above phosphine ligand may not have sufficient storage stability in the air, and it is necessary to pay attention to its handling.

  The present inventors previously proposed a 1,2-bis (dialkylphosphino) benzene derivative as an optically active phosphine ligand having an asymmetric center on the P atom (see Patent Document 1). Since this ligand adopts a single chelate conformation that is very stable with respect to the transition metal, the asymmetric environment around the central metal is efficiently transferred to the substrate. Therefore, transition metal complexes such as rhodium metal complexes using this ligand are extremely useful as asymmetric catalysts for asymmetric hydrogenation reactions. However, there has been a demand for a ligand that is easier to synthesize than this benzene derivative and has good handleability.

JP 2000-319288 A

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an optically active phosphine ligand that is easier to synthesize and has better handleability than conventional phosphine ligands.

  The present invention achieves the above object by providing an optically active 2,3-bis (dialkylphosphino) pyrazine derivative represented by the following general formula (1).

  Moreover, this invention is a preferable manufacturing method of the pyrazine derivative represented by the above general formula (1), and the 2,3-dihalogenopyrazine derivative represented by the following general formula (3) is substituted with the following general formula ( 4) an optically active 2,3-bis (dialkylphosphino), characterized in that a dialkylphosphine-borane represented by 4) is deprotonated to effect a nucleophilic substitution reaction and then a deboraneation reaction. A method for producing a pyrazine derivative is provided.

  Furthermore, this invention provides the metal complex for asymmetric synthesis catalysts characterized by using the pyrazine derivative represented by the general formula (1) as a ligand.

  Since the pyrazine derivative of the present invention exists stably in the air, handling properties including storage stability are very good. Moreover, according to the manufacturing method of this invention, the pyrazine derivative of this invention can be manufactured easily. Furthermore, when the metal complex having the pyrazine derivative of the present invention as a ligand is used as a catalyst for asymmetric synthesis, it has high enantioselectivity and reaction activity, and can be widely applied to various asymmetric synthesis.

In the pyrazine derivative of the present invention represented by the general formula (1), R ¹ represents an optionally substituted linear or branched 2 to 10 alkyl group. Examples thereof include ethyl group, isopropyl group, n-propyl group, isobutyl group, n-butyl group, sec-butyl group, tert-butyl group, isoheptyl group, n-heptyl group, isohexyl group, n-hexyl group, A cyclopentyl group, a cyclohexyl group, an adamantyl group, etc. are mentioned. These groups may be appropriately substituted with at least one monovalent substituent. In particular, R ¹ is preferably a bulky group having steric hindrance. From this viewpoint, when R ¹ is an acyclic alkyl group, a secondary alkyl group is preferable to a primary alkyl group, and a tertiary alkyl group is preferable to a secondary alkyl group. It is also preferred that R ¹ is an alicyclic alkyl group. Preferred alkyl groups include a tert-butyl group and an adamantyl group.

On the other hand, in the general formula (1), R ² represents an optionally substituted linear or branched alkyl group having a carbon number smaller than that of R ¹ . The difference in carbon number between R ¹ and R ² needs to be at least 1. When the pyrazine derivative of the present invention is used as a ligand of a metal complex for an asymmetric synthesis catalyst, there is a large difference in the steric hindrance between R ¹ and R ² in consideration of the formation of a highly asymmetric space. Preferably there is. That is, R ¹ is preferably a bulky group having steric hindrance, that is, a maximal group, whereas R ² is preferably a minimal group. Therefore, R ¹ and R ² are more preferable as the difference in carbon number is larger. Specifically, the difference in carbon number between R ¹ and R ² is preferably 2 or more, particularly 3 or more, particularly 4 or more. Considering that R ² is a minimal group, the most preferred group as R ² can be said to be a methyl group. In general, however, the groups that can be used as R ² are determined relatively in relation to R ¹ . Particularly preferred combinations of R ¹ and R ² include a combination of R ¹ = tert-butyl group, R ² = methyl group, a combination of R ¹ = adamantyl group, and R ² = methyl group.

In general formula (1), R ³ and R ⁴ represents an alkyl group or a hydrogen atom having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. R ³ and R ⁴ may be the same or different. Examples of R ³ and R ⁴ include ethyl group, isopropyl group, n-propyl group, isobutyl group, n-butyl group, sec-butyl group, tert-butyl group, isoheptyl group, n-heptyl group, isohexyl group, n -A hexyl group, a cyclopentyl group, a cyclohexyl group, etc. are mentioned. These groups may be appropriately substituted with at least one monovalent substituent. R ³ and R ⁴ may be bonded to each other to form a saturated or unsaturated ring. Examples of the ring formed by combining R ³ and R ⁴ include a saturated or unsaturated 5-membered ring or 6-membered ring. For example, a phenyl group, a cyclohexyl group, a cyclopentyl group, etc. are mentioned. These rings may be appropriately substituted with at least one monovalent substituent.

Particularly preferred as R ³ and R ⁴ is the case where both are bonded to form a phenyl group, in which case the compound according to the present invention is a quinoxaline derivative represented by the following general formula (2). is there.

In the general formula (2), the monovalent substituent represented by R ⁵ is not particularly limited. Examples of R ⁵ include a halogen atom.

  Specific examples of the 2,3-bis (dialkylphosphino) pyrazine derivative represented by the general formula (1) include (R, R) -2,3-bis (tert-butylmethylphosphino). ) Quinoxaline, (R, R) -2,3-bis (adamantylmethylphosphino) quinoxaline, (R, R) -2,3-bis (tert-butylmethylphosphino) pyrazine, (R, R) -2 , 3-bis (adamantylmethylphosphino) pyrazine and the like.

  In the pyrazine derivative represented by the general formula (1), the electron density of the P atom in the phosphine moiety is lowered due to the electron withdrawing attributed to the pyrazine skeleton. As a result, the phosphine moiety becomes inactive against oxidation by air, and the storage stability is increased. In particular, when the pyrazine derivative represented by the above general formula (1) is a quinoxaline derivative represented by the above general formula (2), the phosphine moiety becomes more inactive against oxidation by air and is stored. Stability is further increased.

  Further, the pyrazine derivative represented by the general formula (1) has high rigidity due to the pyrazine skeleton, and the included angle formed between the two phosphine moieties and the transition metal becomes large. As a result, when a transition metal complex having the pyrazine derivative as a ligand is used as a catalyst, reductive elimination can easily proceed. In particular, when the pyrazine derivative represented by the general formula (1) is a quinoxaline derivative represented by the general formula (2), the included angle is further increased and reductive elimination is further facilitated. Can proceed to.

  Next, a method for producing a 2,3-bis (dialkylphosphino) pyrazine derivative according to the present invention will be described. First, a 2,3-dihalogenopyrazine derivative represented by the following general formula (3), such as 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline, is prepared. 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline is a commercially available compound.

  Separately, a dialkylphosphine-borane represented by the following general formula (4) is prepared and deprotonated in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran. For deprotonation, for example, butyl lithium is used.

  A dialkylphosphine-borane in a deprotonated state is allowed to act on the 2,3-dihalogenopyrazine derivative. The electrons of the carbon atom to which the halogen in the 2,3-dihalogenopyrazine derivative is bonded are attracted by the adjacent nitrogen atom. Therefore, the deprotonated dialkylphosphine-borane, that is, the nucleophile, attacks the carbon atom to cause a nucleophilic substitution reaction. This reaction proceeds rapidly in a liquid nitrogen environment or at room temperature. By this reaction, an intermediate diphosphine-borane body is generated in the reaction system.

  Subsequently, a deboraneation reaction of the diphosphine-borane body as the intermediate is performed. For the deboration reaction, for example, N, N, N ′, N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) may be added to the reaction system. Deboraneation is completed in several tens of minutes to several hours at room temperature. As a result, the desired 2,3-bis (dialkylphosphino) pyrazine derivative is obtained. The overall reaction scheme is as follows, showing that it is an addition / elimination reaction.

  According to the above method, there is an advantage that the target substance can be obtained from the starting material in a substantially one-step reaction. Also noteworthy is that the stericity of the P atom is not impaired during the reaction.

  In addition, the dialkyl phosphine-borane which is a nucleophile used for the said reaction can be prepared by a well-known method. Examples of such a method include the method described in JP-A-2001-253889. Specifically, the following method is mentioned.

  A dialkyl (hydroxymethyl) phosphine-borane represented by the following general formula (5) is dissolved in pyridine at 0 ° C. to room temperature. To this solution is added benzoyl chloride dropwise.

  This reaction produces a dialkyl (benzoyloxymethyl) phosphine-borane represented by the following general formula (6). The reaction is diluted with water and extracted with ether. The organic layer is washed with hydrochloric acid, and the solvent is removed to obtain dialkyl (benzoyloxymethyl) phosphine-borane crystals.

  The dialkyl (benzoyloxymethyl) phosphine-borane crystal represented by the general formula (6) is dissolved in ethanol, and an aqueous potassium hydroxide solution is added dropwise thereto to perform a hydrolysis reaction. Next, an aqueous solution containing potassium hydroxide, potassium persulfate and ruthenium trichloride is added dropwise to carry out the reaction. The reaction mixture is neutralized with hydrochloric acid and extracted with ether. The solvent is removed to obtain a dialkylphosphine-borane crystal represented by the general formula (4).

  The 2,3-bis (dialkylphosphino) pyrazine derivative of the present invention represented by the general formula (1) can form a complex with a transition metal as a ligand. This complex is useful as an asymmetric synthesis catalyst. Examples of the asymmetric synthesis include an asymmetric hydrogenation reaction, an asymmetric 1,4-addition reaction to an electron-deficient olefin using an organic boronic acid, an asymmetric hydrosilyl reaction, an asymmetric Michael reaction, and the like.

  Examples of the transition metal that can form a complex include rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, palladium, nickel, and iron. A preferred metal is rhodium. As a method of forming a complex with rhodium using a 2,3-bis (dialkylphosphino) pyrazine derivative represented by the general formula (1) as a ligand, for example, Experimental Chemistry Course 4th Edition (Edited by Chemical Society of Japan) , Published by Maruzen Co., Ltd., Vol. 18, pp. 327-353). Specifically, by reacting the 2,3-bis (dialkylphosphino) pyrazine derivative represented by the general formula (1) with bis (cycloocta-1,5-diene) rhodium tetrafluoroborate, Rhodium complexes can be produced.

Specific examples of the resulting rhodium complex include Rh ((S, S)-(1)) Cl, Rh ((S, S)-(1)) Br, Rh ((S, S)-(1) ) I, [Rh ((S, S)-(1)) (cod)] BF ₄ , [Rh ((S, S)-(1)) (cod)] ClO ₄ , [Rh ((S, S )-(1)) (cod)] PF ₆ , [Rh ((S, S)-(1)) (cod)] BPh ₄ , [Rh ((S, S)-(1)) (nbd)] BF ₄ , [Rh ((S, S)-(1)) (ndb)] ClO ₄ , [Rh ((S, S)-(1)) (ndb)] PF ₄ , [Rh ((S, S )-(1)) (ndb)] BPh ₄ , Rh ((R, R)-(1)) Cl, Rh ((R, R)-(1)) Br, Rh ((R, R)-( 1)) I, [Rh ((R, R)-(1)) (cod)] BF ₄ , [Rh ((R, R)-(1)) (cod)] ClO ₄ , [Rh ((R, R)-(1)) (cod)] PF ₆ , [Rh ((R, R) - (1)) (cod) ] BPh 4, [Rh ((R, R) - (1)) (nbd)] BF 4, [Rh ((R, R) - (1)) (ndb)] ClO ₄ , [Rh ((R, R)-(1)) (ndb)] PF ₆ , [Rh ((R, R)-(1)) (ndb)] BPh _{4 and the} like.
