Definitions
- the present invention concerns phosphinate universal P-stereogenic chiral precursors for chiral ligands, preparation processes thereof and their use for the preparation of optically pure or enriched chiral ligands.
- active molecules such as, but not limited to, aromas and perfumes, herbicides and pesticides, and pharmaceutically active agents, are or comprise at least one active molecule under the form of a single stereoisomer, for instance an enantiomer or a diastereoisomer.
- the other stereoisomers of the same molecules often have no activity, and sometimes even induce undesired side-effects. Consequently, it is preferable to obtain the desired stereoisomer in absence of the other stereoisomers.
- the preparation processes for said stereoisomers generally involve non stereoselective preparation, generating a mixture of stereoisomers, and thus require additional steps of separation of the stereoisomers. Such strategies are not cost-effective both because of the cost of the implementation of specific separation techniques, such as chiral separation, and because the separated non-active stereoisomer(s) represent(s) a consequent loss of matter.
- Green chemistry was born at the end of the twentieth century and aims at responding both environmental and economical concerns.
- catalysis represents an interesting tool as it allows the reduction of both the cost in energy and the required amount of reagents.
- Asymmetrical catalysis allows the preparation of great amounts of high added value chiral products from reduced amounts of chiral catalysts.
- chemical reactions that can be asymmetrically catalyzed may be cited catalytic hydrogenation, formation of carbon-carbon bonds, such as Heck, Sonogashira, Suzuki, Kumada, Negishi, Stille or Hiyama couplings, and asymmetrical allylic substitutions.
- the access to a chiral ligand with a reasonable cost, available in great quantities, and free in terms of rights is generally so difficult that alternatives such as chiral chromatography are preferred to produce the single enantiomers.
- Chiral secondary phosphine oxides are original preligands that allow the formation of numerous chiral catalysts by association with a great number of transition metals, as described for instance in Bigeault J. et al. Synlett 2008, 1071, Bigeault J. et al. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2005, 44, 4753, and Bigeault J. et al. Org. Lett. 2007, 9, 3567.
- These preligands can for instance assemble stereo-selectively with palladium or platinum to create complexes with a specific geometry. Said complexes have an original reactivity and can for instance catalyze new cycloaddition reactions. The stereoelectronic properties of these complexes can be easily modulated by the choice of the substituents of the phosphorus atom.
- US patent application US 2010/0174079 describes a process for the production of optically active secondary or tertiary phosphine oxides using menthylphosphinate.
- the Applicants have now discovered novel universal P-stereogenic chiral phosphinate precursors allowing a fast, stereospecific, and cost-effective access to chiral ligands, such as chiral secondary phosphine oxides.

- a further object of the invention is the use of a compound of formula (I) in the preparation of a chiral P-stereogenic ligand or preligand, such as chiral secondary phosphine oxides.

- the spectra correspond to circular dichroism detection.
- the first object of the invention is a compound of formula (I) R , or at least one stereoisomer, preferably an enantiomer, thereof.
- RO is a tertiary alkoxy group comprising at least 5 carbon atoms
- R' is an alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, heteroaryl or aryl group.
- R comprises at least 6, at least 7, at least 8, at least 9, or at least 10, carbon atoms.
- R can comprise a great number of carbon atoms.
- R comprises a maximum of 20, 18, or 16 carbon ato a preferred
- R is chosen in the group consisting of adamantyl Ad (AdO is 2-methyl- 2-adamantyl, 1,1 -diethyl- 1 -propyl or 3-ethyl-3-pentyl (or tertioheptyl), 2,4-dimethyl-3-(l- methylethyl)-3-pentyl, cyclobutyl-a,a,dimethylmethyl (or 2-cyclobutyl-2-propyl), 2,2,3,4,4 pentamethyl-3-pentyl and cyclobutyl(diphenyl)methyl.

- R is adamantyl.
- RO is an achiral tertiary alkoxy group comprising at least 5 carbon atoms.

- R' is chosen in the group consisting of a phenyl group, a tolyl group, preferably an o-tolyl group, and a teri-butyl group.
- the compounds of formula (I) or at least one stereoisomer, preferably enantiomers, thereof are universal precursors for the preparation of chiral ligands and preligands, such as chiral secondary phosphine oxides. They afford high enantioselective yields in the preparation of chiral ligands and preligands, in particular secondary phosphine oxides preligands.

Without being bound to any theory, it seems that the tertiary structure of the alkoxy group avoids epimerization of the compound in basic conditions that may trigger a loss in enantiomeric excess. The steric hindrance due to the substituents of the carbon atom which is linked to the oxygen atom of the alkoxy group seems to favor enantioselectivity.

- the process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) or at least one stereoisomer, preferably an enantiomer, thereof comprises contacting a compound of formula RX, wherein X is an halogen atom, preferably an adamantyl halide, in particular

- the conditions for said contacting can be easily adapted by anyone of ordinary skill in the art, in view of the already described processes, for instance in Georgiadis D. et al. Tetrahedron 1999, 14635.
- the processes for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) or at least one stereoisomer, preferably an enantiomer, thereof of the invention may further comprise a step comprising or consisting in isolating one or more stereoisomers of the compound of formula (I).

Description
P-stereogenic chiral precursor of chiral ligands and use thereof
The present invention concerns phosphinate universal P-stereogenic chiral precursors for chiral ligands, preparation processes thereof and their use for the preparation of optically pure or enriched chiral ligands.
Background of the invention Many active molecules, such as, but not limited to, aromas and perfumes, herbicides and pesticides, and pharmaceutically active agents, are or comprise at least one active molecule under the form of a single stereoisomer, for instance an enantiomer or a diastereoisomer. The other stereoisomers of the same molecules often have no activity, and sometimes even induce undesired side-effects. Consequently, it is preferable to obtain the desired stereoisomer in absence of the other stereoisomers. The preparation processes for said stereoisomers generally involve non stereoselective preparation, generating a mixture of stereoisomers, and thus require additional steps of separation of the stereoisomers. Such strategies are not cost-effective both because of the cost of the implementation of specific separation techniques, such as chiral separation, and because the separated non-active stereoisomer(s) represent(s) a consequent loss of matter.
Green chemistry was born at the end of the twentieth century and aims at responding both environmental and economical concerns. Among the different principles of green chemistry, catalysis represents an interesting tool as it allows the reduction of both the cost in energy and the required amount of reagents. Asymmetrical catalysis allows the preparation of great amounts of high added value chiral products from reduced amounts of chiral catalysts. As examples of chemical reactions that can be asymmetrically catalyzed may be cited catalytic hydrogenation, formation of carbon-carbon bonds, such as Heck, Sonogashira, Suzuki, Kumada, Negishi, Stille or Hiyama couplings, and asymmetrical allylic substitutions. However, the access to a chiral ligand with a reasonable cost, available in great quantities, and free in terms of rights is generally so difficult that alternatives such as chiral chromatography are preferred to produce the single enantiomers.
Chiral secondary phosphine oxides are original preligands that allow the formation of numerous chiral catalysts by association with a great number of transition metals, as described for instance in Bigeault J. et al. Synlett 2008, 1071, Bigeault J. et al. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2005, 44, 4753,
and Bigeault J. et al. Org. Lett. 2007, 9, 3567. These preligands can for instance assemble stereo-selectively with palladium or platinum to create complexes with a specific geometry. Said complexes have an original reactivity and can for instance catalyze new cycloaddition reactions. The stereoelectronic properties of these complexes can be easily modulated by the choice of the substituents of the phosphorus atom.
US patent application US 2010/0174079 describes a process for the production of optically active secondary or tertiary phosphine oxides using menthylphosphinate. The Applicants have now discovered novel universal P-stereogenic chiral phosphinate precursors allowing a fast, stereospecific, and cost-effective access to chiral ligands, such as chiral secondary phosphine oxides.

RO'^H
The first object of the invention is a compound of formula (I) R , or at least one stereoisomer, preferably an enantiomer, thereof. RO is a tertiary alkoxy group comprising at least 5 carbon atoms, and R' is an alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, heteroaryl or aryl group.
In embodiments of the invention, R comprises at least 6, at least 7, at least 8, at least 9, or at least 10, carbon atoms. R can comprise a great number of carbon atoms. In specific embodiments, R comprises a maximum of 20, 18, or 16 carbon ato a preferred
embodiment, R is chosen in the group consisting of adamantyl Ad (AdO is
2-methyl- 2-adamantyl, 1,1 -diethyl- 1 -propyl or 3-ethyl-3-pentyl (or tertioheptyl), 2,4-dimethyl-3-(l- methylethyl)-3-pentyl, cyclobutyl-a,a,dimethylmethyl (or 2-cyclobutyl-2-propyl), 2,2,3,4,4 pentamethyl-3-pentyl and cyclobutyl(diphenyl)methyl.
In a highly preferred embodiment, R is adamantyl.
In an embodiment, RO is an achiral tertiary alkoxy group comprising at least 5 carbon atoms. The term "achiral" refers to the absence of chirality of the carbon atom that is directly bound to the oxygen atom of the alkoxy group. In an embodiment, R' is chosen in the group consisting of a phenyl group, a tolyl group, preferably an o-tolyl group, a teri-butyl group, a butyl group, a / (ethylcarbonyl)phenyl group, a / iodophenyl group, a cyclohexyl group, and a o-methoxyphenyl group.
In an embodiment, R' is chosen in the group consisting of a phenyl group, a tolyl group, preferably an o-tolyl group, and a teri-butyl group.
The compounds of formula (I) or at least one stereoisomer, preferably enantiomers, thereof are universal precursors for the preparation of chiral ligands and preligands, such as chiral secondary phosphine oxides. They afford high enantioselective yields in the preparation of chiral ligands and preligands, in particular secondary phosphine oxides preligands.
The compounds of formula (I) are more stable, in terms of enantiomeric structure, than the compounds wherein the tertiary alkoxy group RO is replaced with a derivative of a primary or secondary alcohol, such as the menthylphosphinate disclosed in US 2010/0174079. Without being bound to any theory, it seems that the tertiary structure of the alkoxy group avoids epimerization of the compound in basic conditions that may trigger a loss in enantiomeric excess. The steric hindrance due to the substituents of the carbon atom which is linked to the oxygen atom of the alkoxy group seems to favor enantioselectivity.
The compounds of formula (I) or at least one stereoisomer, preferably enantiomers, thereof can be synthesized in high scale.
A process for the preparation of the compounds of formula (I), or at least one stereoisomer, preferably enantiomers, thereof, is a further object of the invention.
In an embodiment, the process for the preparation of compounds of formula (I) or at least one stereoisomer, preferably enantiomers, thereof comprises contacting a tertiary alcohol comprising at least 5 carbon atoms, preferably 1 -adamantanol, with at least one compound of
CI

formula R' CI ? wherein R' is as defined above. The tertiary alcohol comprising at least 5 carbon atoms can be chosen for instance in the group consisting of 1 -adamantanol, 2-methyl-2- adamantanol, 1,1 -diethyl- 1-propanol or 3-ethyl-3-pentanol (or tertioheptyl), 2,4-dimethyl-3-(l-
methylethyl)-3-pentanol, cyclobutyl-a,a,dimethylmethanol (or 2-cyclobutyl-2-propanol), 2,2,3,4,4 pentamethyl-3-pentanol, and cyclobutyl(diphenyl)methanol, preferably 1- adamantanol. The process may comprise one or several steps, at least one of the steps comprising contacting a tertiary alcohol comprising at least 5 carbon atoms, preferably 1 -
Cl
I
adamantanol, with at least one compound of formula R' CI . Said contacting is preferably performed in presence of a base. The base may be chosen among basic amines, for example pyridine. The contacting may be performed in any classical solvent, for instance in dichloromethane. In an embodiment, the process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) or at least one stereoisomer, preferably an enantiomer, thereof comprises a first step consisting in contacting a tertiary alcohol comprising at least 5 carbon atoms, preferably 1-
Cl
I
adamantanol and a compound of formula R' CI ? n presence of a base, preferably pyridine, in an organic solvent, preferably dichloromethane, preferably at room temperature (from 18 to 25°C), and a second step consisting in contacting the mixture obtained in the first step with water, preferably at low temperature, more preferably at 0°C.
In a further embodiment, the process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) or at least one stereoisomer, preferably an enantiomer, thereof comprises contacting a dichloroalkoxyphosphine, wherein the alkyloxy group is a tertiary alkoxy group comprising at least 5 carbon atoms, preferably dichloroadamantoxyphosphme, with at least one compound of formula R'M, wherein R' is as defined above, and M is chosen among a lithium atom and a MgX group, wherein X is a halogen atom, preferably a chlorine or a bromine atom.
In an embodiment, the compound of formula R'M is arylmagnesium bromide.
In an embodiment, the contacting is performed in an organic solvent, such as hexane, THF, or a mixture thereof.
In an embodiment, the contacting is performed at a temperature comprised between room temperature and -78°C, preferably a temperature comprised between -30°C and -78°C, in particular at a temperature around -50°C.
In an embodiment, the process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) or at least one stereoisomer, preferably an enantiomer, thereof comprises a first step consisting in contacting a dichloroalkoxyphosphine, wherein the alkyloxy group is a tertiary alkoxy group comprising at least 5 carbon atoms, preferably dichloroadamantoxyphosphme, with at least one compound of formula R'M, in an organic solvent, preferably hexane, preferably first at a temperature around
-50°C, and then at room temperature, and a second step consisting in contacting the mixture obtained in the first step with water, preferably at a temperature around 0°C.
The process may include a preliminary step consisting in synthesizing the dichloroalkoxyphosphine, preferably dichloroadamantoxyphosphine, for instance by reacting trichlorophosphine with a tertiary alcohol comprising at least 5 carbon atoms, preferably 1 -adamantanol.
In a further embodiment, the process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) or at least one stereoisomer, preferably an enantiomer, thereof comprises contacting a compound of formula RX, wherein X is an halogen atom, preferably an adamantyl halide, in particular
O
I I
HO'^H
adamantyl bromide, with a compound of formula R , preferably in the presence of silver oxide (Ag20). The conditions for said contacting can be easily adapted by anyone of ordinary skill in the art, in view of the already described processes, for instance in Georgiadis D. et al. Tetrahedron 1999, 14635.
The processes for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) or at least one stereoisomer, preferably an enantiomer, thereof of the invention may further comprise a step comprising or consisting in isolating one or more stereoisomers of the compound of formula (I). The separation can be performed for instance by chemical resolution or by chiral chromatography, in particular chiral HPLC. Among appropriate chiral HPLC columns may be cited for instance a Lux® cellulose-2 column (Cellulose tris(3-chloro-4-methylphenylcarbamate), sold by the company Phenomenex), a Lux® Amylose-2 column (Amylose tris(5-chloro-2- methylphenylcarbamate), sold by the company Phenomenex), a ChiralPak® AD-H column (Amylose tris (3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) coated on 5 μιη silica-gel, sold by the company Chiral Technologies), a ChiralPak® AS-H column (Amylose tris [(S)-a-methylbenzylcarbamate] coated on 5 μιη silica-gel, sold by the company Chiral Technologies), and a (S,S)-Whelk®-01 column (sold by the company Regis Technologies).
When RO is achiral, the compounds of formula (I) as defined above with a different chirality of the phosphorus atom are enantiomers, and not diastereoisomers, and can thus not be separated by resolution. In this case, the step of isolation of one or more enantiomers of the process of the invention can be surprisingly efficiently performed by chiral chromatography.
The step of isolation of one or more stereoisomers affords the possibility to obtain at least one stereoisomer of the compound of formula (I) in high scale, preferably in the gram scale, in particular in more than one gram, preferably more than two grams, highly preferably more than five grams, in 10 hours.
For instance, the enantiomers of the compound of formula (I) wherein R is adamantyl, could be separated efficiently by semipreparative chiral HPLC on a Lux® cellulose-2 column, using methanol as eluent. The resolution factor in this case was superior at six (analytical separation on Sepapak®-2 HR column (Sepaserve GmbH, EtOH, lmL/min). The separation of 24 g of racemic mixture easily afforded 12 g of each enantiomer.
The preparation of compounds of formula (I) according to the invention can be implemented easily and easily affords the preparation of pure compounds of formula (I). For instance, the preparation of compounds of formula (I) according to the invention does not require the use of several purification steps, in particular when RO is an achiral tertiary group. Conversely, the synthesis of the phosphinate comprising a menthyl substituent described in US2010/0174079 requires several recrystallization steps to be pure.
The compounds of formula (I), or at least one stereoisomer, preferably an enantiomer, thereof, are useful as precursors of chiral P-stereogenic ligands and/or preligands.
A further object of the invention is a process for the preparation of a chiral P-stereogenic ligand or preligand, comprising the use of a compound of formula (I) or at least one stereoisomer, preferably an enantiomer, thereof. The process for the preparation of a chiral P-stereogenic ligand or preligand can comprise a step of contacting a compound of formula (I) or at least one stereoisomer, preferably an enantiomer, thereof, with an organolithium or organomagnesium compound, in an organic solvent, preferably tetrahydrofuran, preferably at a low temperature, more preferably between -40°C and -78°C (inclusive). The chiral P-stereogenic ligand or preligand obtained by the process of the invention is also in the scope of the invention.
Preferably, the chiral P-stereogenic ligand or preligand is chosen in the group consisting of
O OH

acid) or R (borane secondary phosphine), wherein R' is as defined above, and R' ' has the same definition as R', and may be different or identical to R'.
In particular, the chiral P-stereogenic ligand or preligand is a secondary phosphine oxide. The process of the invention allows the preparation of a wide range of enantiopure or enantiomerically enriched, chemically and enantiomerically stable, alkyl and aryl phosphine oxides, borane phosphine acids and/or borane secondary phosphines, in high scale. Said ligands are important "chirons" for use in the preparation of chiral phosphorus compounds.
The synthesis of chiral secondary phosphine oxide by using a precursor according to the invention afforded yields superior or equal to 90%. Comparative tests showed that replacing the tertiary alkoxy group with a secondary alkoxy group, menthylate, caused a drastic decrease of the yields (from a yield of at least 90%> to a yield of 30 to 71%).
Another object of the invention is the use of a compound of formula (I) or at least one stereoisomer, preferably an enantiomer, thereof as starting material and/or reagent in the preparation of at least one chiral P-stereogenic ligand or preligand. Definitions

Figure 1 presents the HPLC separation of both enantiomers of adamantyl phenyl hydrogenophosphinate (R'=Ph) synthesized according to example la on a Lux® cellulose-2 column (Cellulose tris(3-chloro-4-methylphenylcarbamate), sold by the
company Phenomenex), with a 1 cm diameter, with methanol as solvent, at 30°C. The experimental conditions are the following:
Amount of racemic separated by injection: 1 mg
Number of injections: 700
Duration of an injection: 2.4 min
Total duration of the separation: 30 hours
Amount of solvent: 9 liters
- Weight of 1st eluted enantiomer: 6.0 g (99% ee)
- Weight of 2nd eluted enantiomer: 6.2 g (98% ee).
This separation affords a productivity of 2 g of each pure enantiomer of compound 1 in 10 hours, confirming the possibility for high scale production of each enantiomer.
