Carbohydrate-Based Ketones
Yian Shi was born in Jiangsu, China, in 1963 and obtained his B.Sc. degree in chemistry from Nanjing University in 1983. Upon receiving his M.Sc. degree from University of Toronto with Professor Ian W. J. Still in 1987, he pursued his doctoral studies at Stanford University with Professor Barry M. Trost and obtained his Ph.D. degree in 1992. Subsequently, he carried out his postdoctoral studies at Harvard Medical School withProfessor Christopher Walsh from 1992 to 1995. He joined Colorado State University as assistant professor in 1995 and was promoted to associate professor in 2000 and professor in 2003.

Carbohydrate-Based Ketones
Selectivity and Reactivity; Basic General Considerations
(Catalyst Developement)
1) Stereogenic center must be close to the reacting center which favor the ‘’chiral communication’’ between substrates and catalyst.
2) Fused ring and/or a quaternary center to the carbonyl minimizes the epimerization of de stereogenic centers.
3) C2- or pseudo C2 symmetric element inducing steric discrimination as olefin approaches to the
reacting dioxirane.
4) Inductive activation of the carbonyl with the presence of many closed oxygen atoms.

(a) Carbohydrates are chiral, readily available and inexpensive.
(b) They are highly substituted with oxygen groups, (inductive effect of oxygen).
(c) Carbohydrate-derived ketones can have rigid conformations due to the anomeric effect, which is desirable for selectivity.

Catalyst DevelopmentImpact of the pH on the epoxidation with in situ generated dioxiranes
- At high pH, Oxone autodecomposes rapidly- At pH 7-8, 16 give high enantioselectivity but… need an excess!- Raising the pH, to avoid B-V favoring 19 formation and hoping that the reaction of the ketone with Oxone will be faster than its decomposition

-Due to steric repulsion B-C-D-F-G are disfavored (for disubstituted, where R2=H, B is similar to A and G to H
-Favored spiro A and planar H TS result in the opposite stereochemistry
-For trans-disubstituted and trisub-stituted olefin the spiro TS is favored since the epoxide I is formed predominately

- The catalytic properties are dependant on the precise nature of the ketone.
- The pyranose oxygen is beneficial for catalysis (16 vs. 26).
-16 is still the best ketone for the epoxidation and for the enantioselectivity compared to all (TS issues).

-The rigid 5-6 spiro ring of 16, is superior in controlling the enantioselectivity.
- 16 is also superior with regard to the yield.
