supported by the fact that other ytterbium salts, e.g. YbCl 3 and Yb(OTf) 3 , were ineffective at providing efficient product formation and could not do so with enhanced diastereoselectivity. Furthermore none of the other Lanthanides or transition metals examined allowed enhanced diastereoselectivity. Lastly, Yb(OTf) 3 could in theory undergo a similar imine isomerization process via its sulfonate oxygen, but as noted earlier only provided the alcohol by-product under the reductive amination conditions noted here, implying it is too Lewis acidic. To further probe this, I preformed the N-α-MBA ketimine of 2-octanone and then added Yb(OTf) 3 (110 mol%) to it. After 30 min Raney Ni (THF slurry) was added followed by the onset of hydrogenation, the desired product was observed in 50% de. 7.1.3. Key Findings for Reductive Amination with α-MBA These studies, and our earlier ones, complete a body of research regarding the reductive amination of prochiral ketones with (R)- or (S)-α-MBA (1.1 equiv) under the influence of an optimal Lewis acid or Brønsted acid. The findings show that prochiral alkyl-alkyl' and aryl-alkyl ketones can be readily reductively aminated, and by doing so higher yields and much shorter reaction times are achieved compared to the previously practiced two-step strategy via preformed (R)- or (S)-α-methylbenzyl ketimines. [5] Furthermore, the reducing system of choice is a heterogeneous hydrogenation catalyst in the presence of hydrogen, due to the superior diastereoselectivity afforded with good isolated yield and reaction time vs all other reducing systems examined to date. [2] Use of the correct acid (Lewis or Brønsted) catalyst is crucial for a successful outcome when reductively aminating a prochiral ketone with α-MBA in the presence of Raney-Ni (generally the most useful heterogeneous catalyst) and hydrogen (120 psi). Failure to have the optimal Lewis acid or Brønsted acid, or no acid at all, results in gross alcohol by-product formation. Adding catalytic quantities of Yb(OAc) 3 , Y(OAc) 3 , Ce(OAc) 3 , or catalytic or stoichiometric quantities of a weak Brønsted acid, 136
e.g. AcOH, suppresses alcohol by-product formation for 2-alkanones below 2%, providing the desired amine product in good yield. Application of the catalytic Lewis acid or Brønsted acid systems to aryl-alkyl ketones reveals that only acetophenone will react and then only under forcing conditions (50 ° C, 30 bar) with low yield (63% and 55 % respectively) of the desired product. When stoichiometric quantities of Ti(O i Pr) 4 , a Lewis acid, are used for reductive amination the reactions are complete within the same reaction time and again alcohol by-product formation is suppressed below 2%; but unlike the above mentioned systems, which require elevated temperature (50 ° C) and/or H 2 pressure (290 psi) for α-branched (R L C(O)CH 3 ) and β-branched (R M C(O)CH 3 ) ketones, Ti(O i Pr) 4 only requires 22 ° C and 120 psi for these hindered 2-alkanones. Additionally, aryl-alkyl ketones and more sterically demanding alkyl-alkyl' ketones, e.g. i-propyl n-propyl ketone, can be reductively aminated in good yield and de when using Ti(O i Pr) 4 . When comparing the de of the reductive amination products that are common to Ti(O i Pr) 4 , Brønsted acids (catalytic or stoichiometric, e.g. AcOH), Yb(OAc) 3 (10 mol %), Y(OAc) 3 (15 mol %), and Ce(OAc) 3 (15 mol %), the de of the amine product is the same. Furthermore, if preformed (R)- or (S)-α-MBA ketimines are reductively aminated the same de is observed as when the above noted Lewis or Brønsted acids catalysts are used for reductive amination of the corresponding ketone. In stark contrast to these stereoselectivity trends, 2-alkanones without branching at the α- or β-carbons, e.g. 2-octanone or benzylacetone, can be reductively aminated with dramatically increased diastereoselectivity when using as little as 50 mol % Yb(OAc) 3 , again alcohol by-product formation is suppressed below 2% and good yields are always realized. These combined findings are summarized in table 7.3. Table 7.3. Useful Substrate Classes, Optimal Acid Catalysts, and Trends for α- MBA Reductive Amination a 137
