4-(Dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) is a nucleophilic catalyst frequently used for the acylation of alcohols and the rearrangement of O-acylated enolates. Due to the need for an enantioselective version of this catalyst, Gregory Fu π-complexed the heterocycle with a metal and added a 2-substituent to the ring.[1]: 5577 This resulted in a planar chiral set of enantioselective DMAP analogs.[2]
As of 2018,[update][3] at least two such catalysts were commercially available: DMAPC5Ph5, a 1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenylferrocene-fused DMAP derivative, and PPY*, a 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylferrocene-fused 4-pyrrolidinylpyridine derivative.[1]: 5578 [2]: 542–543 A drawback of these catalysts is their limited production volume, as the 1996 synthesis route produces a racemate, requiring resolution via chiral HPLC.[4] In 2020, a high-yield enantioselective synthesis of the two commercial catalysts, amongst other ferrocene-fused 4-dialkylaminopyridines, was achieved.[4][5]
