Abstract

    Optically active b-aryloxyalcohols is one of the most important building blocks for the preparation of various pharmaceutical compounds and nature products. The existed asymmetric approaches to these chiral alcohols are rare. Thus, development of high efficient chiral b-aryloxyalcohols synthesis methods, such as asymmetric hydrogenation of racemic a-aryloxy ketones via dynamic kenitic resolution (DKR), is highly desirable and a challange task.

    In this thesis, a high efficient Ru(II)-SDPs/diamines catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of the racemic a-aryloxy ketones via DKR has been developed. Up to 99.1% ee and > 99:1 cis- or anti-selectivities were obtained for a series of b-aryloxyalcohols. And this high efficient method has been successfully applied in the synthesis of a potent anti-inflammatory chiral drug 15.

    In this study, we obtained 4 single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction test for determining the configuration of the b-aryloxyalcohols. 52 compounds were synthesized, which included 7 new compounds. All of these compounds were identified by ¹H NMR. All of these new compounds were identified by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and HRMS analysis.  Keywords:a-aryloxy ketones, b-aryloxyalcohols, catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation, dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR), Ru(II)-SDPs/diamine catalyst
