Here, a hybrid strategy for inducing chirality was reported for the synthesis of [(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl]alkanones I (R1 = H, 4-Me, 5-Me; R2 = H, 4-Me, 4-Cl, etc.; R3 = Me, PhCH2CH2; R4 = Me, Et, n-Bu, etc.) via pentamethylcyclopentadienyl rhodium(III)-chiral disulfonate hybrid catalyzed C-H activation and subsequent conjugate addition of 2-phenylpyridine derivatives to α,β-unsaturated ketones in good yields and enantioselectivity (enantiomeric ratio up to 95:5). In addition to 2-phenylpyridines, the conjugate addition of 6-arylpurines proceeded with an enantiomeric ratio of up to 91:9 using [Cp*RhLN][(R)-SPISate] to afford [(9H-purin-6-yl)phenyl]alkanones II (R5 = i-Pr, PhCH2; R6 = H, Me, OMe, t-Bu). The results demonstrated that a chiral organic anion could efficiently control the enantioselectivity of Cp*Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization without a chiral Cpx ligand. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-(m-Tolyl)pyridine (cas: 4373-61-9Application of 4373-61-9).
2-(m-Tolyl)pyridine (cas: 4373-61-9) belongs to pyridine derivatives. Pyridine has a conjugated system of six π electrons that are delocalized over the ring. The molecule is planar and, thus, follows the Hückel criteria for aromatic systems. Several pyridine derivatives play important roles in biological systems. While its biosynthesis is not fully understood, nicotinic acid (vitamin B3) occurs in some bacteria, fungi, and mammals.Application of 4373-61-9
