- Bis(pyridine-2-carboxamides) were prepared from 1,2-diamines obtained from alpha-D-ghlcose and alpha-D-mannose. The ligands were assessed in molybdenum-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylations (AAA) by using both methyl (E)-3-phenyl-2-propenyl and methyl rac-1-phenyl-2-propenyl carbonates and dimethyl malonate as nucleophile under microwave irradiation. High enantioselectivity (99 % ee) and high regioselectivity (49:1 in favour of the branched isomer) were observed in reactions of the linear achiral substrate in the presence of 10 mol-% of a catalyst prepared from a ligand derived from glucose. Somewhat lower enantioselectivity (up to 96 % ee) was observed in reactions with the branched racemic carbonate by using the same ligand. ((C) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The elpaN-Py family of ligands, which represents a subset of the elpaN-type library based on a-glucose, is described. The ligands are structural analogs of the privileged bis(pyridine-2-carboxamides) derived from trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, and differ for the type of substitution in the coordinating functions present in positions 1 and 2. Their ability to induce high enantioselectivity in asymmetric allylic alkylations promoted by molybdenum under microwave irradiation has been successfully demonstrated, starting from both a linear (ee up to 99%) and a branched substrate (ee up to 96%). The multifunctional nature of the sugar scaffold was exploited for the preparation of a polar ligand, through deprotection of the hydroxyl groups in positions 3, 4 and 6. In this version, it was possible to verify the performance in catalysis in alternative solvents, such as ionic liquids and water.
