Outline of Research at the Start |
I supposes to design a novel catalysts for the stereoselective polyene cyclization reaction. Inspired by the structure of the bio-enzyme, it may be possible for the design of catalyst candidates. Besides, the screening the optimized catalysts needs vast amounts of experiments and time. Thus, here I would introduce the assistance of quantum chemistry to calculate the best model of the structures and transition states for the interaction between the catalysts and polyene substrates, guide the main direction for the catalysts design and efficiently reduce the volume of experimental screen work.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Based on the results from last year, we are currently continuing to investigate and evaluate the appropriate reaction conditions for intramolecular carbonyl–ene cyclization. As planned last year, initially, we developed a novel class of BINOL-derived chiral phosphoric acids with bis-aryl methyl substituents on the 3,3' position as the foundation of LBA catalysts to facilitate the formation of single rings. Building on this work, we have achieved a moderate reaction yield along with moderate enantioselectivity and excellent E/Z selectivity. Additionally, we are now concentrating on expanding the methodology to cascade cyclization.

Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
This reaction presents a significant synthetic challenge due to its dependence on precise conditions for successful execution. We spent a lot of time on asymmetric optimization for the reaction conditions. We have gone to great lengths to screen a wide variety of BINOL-derived chiral phosphoric acids bearing different substituents on their 3,3’ positions. So far, we have achieved a moderate reaction yield along with moderate enantioselectivity. Now, we finally turn our focus to investigating the cascade cyclization for the formation of a double-ring system based on the optimized single-ring-formation system.

Strategy for Future Research Activity |
So far, we've achieved moderate reaction yield and moderate enantioselectivity in the formation of the single-ring system. For the research plan of the following year, on the one hand, I would like to promote the research project on the substrate scope for this single-ring formation. I would spend some time synthesizing and examining the effect of several substituents on the standard substrate under this catalytic system.
On the other hand, I would also like to investigate this methodology for cascade cyclization for the formation of polyprenoids. To meet the final goal of this research project, I may also finely optimize several reaction conditions to get better results.
