Research Abstract

Pentafluorophenyl group shows both electron-withdrawing property and stucking ability for electron-rich aromatic molecules. However, there is few report on its application to functional materials. We expected that chiral pentafluorophenyl group-containing compounds will be useful for liquid crystals and molecular recognition materials.
The lipase LIP-catalyzed kinetic resolution of 2-hydroxy-2-(pentafluorophenyl)acetonitrile (1) at 0℃ afforded optically active (R)-1 with 96% ee and its (S)-acetate derivative with 98% ee. Subsequently, we successfully converted (R)-1 to (1R, 2R)-bis(pentafluorophenyl)ethane-1, 2-diol ((1R, 2R)-(2)) with 94% ee and (S)-1 to (1S, 2S)-2 with 87% ee. We found that the addition of TMSCI accelerated the NaBHィイD24ィエD2 reduction of the imine intermediate and simultaneously suppressed the racemization. We also synthesized optically active diols and amino alcohols such as 1-(pentafluorophenyl)-2-phenylethane-1, 2-diol, 2-amino-1, 2-bis(pentafluorophenyl)ethanol, and 2-amino-1-(pentafluorophenyl)-2-phenylethanol according to the similar method. Furthermore, we confirmed the stucking interaction between the pentafluorophenyl group and electron-rich aromatic groups by means of the X-ray crystal structure analysis and NMR measurements.
