The Lewis base‐organocatalyzed asymmetric hydrosilylation of α‐acetamido‐β‐enamino esters was investigated. Among various chiral Lewis base catalysts, a novel catalyst derived from L ‐serine was found to be the most efficient one which can promote the reaction to afford a series of α,β‐diamino acid derivatives with high yields (up to 99%), excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee) and moderate diastereoselectivities (up to 80:20 dr). The absolute configuration of one of the products was determined by the X‐ray crystallographic analysis. In addition, the mechanism and the transition state of the reaction were proposed. 相似文献
The synthesis of chiral 3‐hydroxy‐2‐methylpropanoic acid esters (e.g., “Roche ester” 3a ) based on the rhodium‐catalyzed stereoselective hydrogenation of Baylis–Hillman reaction products was investigated. Full conversions and enantioselectivities of up to 99% at a substrate/catalyst ratio of up to 500/1 were achieved by application of bisphospholanes of the catASium M series as ancillary ligands. An interesting kinetic resolution was observed by the diastereoselective hydroxy‐directed hydrogenation of related racemic β‐branched precursors affording mainly anti‐isomers with up to 96%ee. 相似文献
A highly enantioselective Michael addition of cyclic 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds to β,γ‐unsaturated α‐keto esters catalyzed by amino acid‐derived thiourea‐tertiary‐amine catalysts is presented. Using 5 mol% of a novel tyrosine‐derived thiourea catalyst, a series of chiral coumarin derivatives were obtained in excellent yields (up to 99%) and with up to 96% ee under very mild conditions within a short reaction time. 相似文献
A chiral squaramide‐organocatalyzed, highly enantioselective Michael addition of 2‐hydroxy‐1,4‐naphthoquinones to nitroalkenes has been developed. This reaction afforded the chiral naphthoquinones in excellent yields (up to 99%) and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 98% ee) under very low catalyst loading (0.25 mol%). This organocatalytic asymmetric Michael addition provides an efficient alternative route toward the synthesis of chiral functionalized naphthoquinones. 相似文献
An efficient synthesis of optically pure cis‐4‐formyl‐β‐lactams (up to 99% ee) by a chiral NHC‐catalyzed ring expansion reaction has been realized, featuring the ready availability of both the substrate and the catalyst, and the mild reaction conditions. The current method is also suitable for the synthesis of enantioenriched 4‐formyl‐β‐lactams and succinimides containing quaternary carbon centers. 相似文献
The asymmetric epoxidation of α,β‐enones by the readily available bis(3,5‐dimethylphenyl)‐(S)‐pyrrolidin‐2‐ylmethanol and tert‐butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) is described. Stereoelectronic substitution on the aryl moiety of diaryl‐2‐pyrrolidinemethanols was found to significantly affect the efficiency with respect to the previously reported (S)‐diphenyl‐2‐pyrrolidinemethanol. Improved reactivity and enantioselectivity were achieved with bis(3,5‐dimethylphenyl)‐(S)‐pyrrolidin‐2‐ylmethanol at reduced catalyst loading (20 mol %) with ees up to 94% for chalcone epoxides under mild reaction conditions, whereas (S)‐diphenyl‐2‐pyrrolidinemethanol afforded a maximum ee of 80%. Interestingly, the methodology is applicable to the epoxidation of more challenging aliphatic or enolizable enones with good control of the asymmetric induction (up to 87% ee). 相似文献
An efficient protocol has been developed for the preparation of 2‐aminobenzothiazoles via a copper(I)‐catalyzed tandem reaction of 2‐iodoanilines with isothiocyanates at very low catalyst loadings [typically 50 ppm of copper(I) iodide (CuI)]. A variety of 2‐iodoanilines could be cross‐coupled with isothiocyanates, affording 2‐aminobenzothiazoles in moderate to good yields (49–93%) under the given conditions. The turnover number (TON) of this reaction reaches 67,000 and the reaction could be scaled up, at least, to the gram‐scale. 相似文献
2‐(dinitroethylene)‐4,5‐imidazolidinedione, which is the intermediate in preparing FOX‐7, was synthesized by acetamidine hydrochloride and diethyl oxalate. Ring cleavage reaction could be carried out more quickly, when methanol, water, and formic acid were used as ring cleavage reagents; the disadvantages from using ammonia as ring cleavage reagent could be overcome with yields of up to 65.5%. When water is used as ring cleavage reagent, the reaction rate will be high and the reaction conditions will be milder. So this method is more suitable for further up‐scaling research. 相似文献
An enantioselective aza‐Friedel–Crafts reaction of indoles with γ‐hydroxy‐γ‐lactams using a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst is reported. The approach described herein provides an efficient access to 5‐indolylpyrrolidinones in good to quantitative yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee). The results suggest that the reaction may proceed via N‐acyliminium intermediates associated with the chiral phosphoric acid anion. 相似文献
A highly diastereo‐ and enantioselective conjugate addition of α‐substituted cyanoacetates to maleimides in the presence of a chiral bifunctional thiourea‐tertiary amine catalyst has been investigated for the first time. The procedure was capable of tolerating a relatively wide range of substrates with respect to α‐substituted cyanoacetates and maleimides, providing a series of substituted succinimidates bearing two vicinal quaternary‐tertiary stereocenters in excellent yields (up to 97%) with excellent diastereo‐ (up to 98:2) and enantioselectivities (up to 98%) under mild reaction conditions. 相似文献
The highly enantioselective reaction between in situ generated, Cbz‐protected azomethines and malonates in the presence of 150 mol % of potassium carbonate (50 % w/w) and 1 mol % of quinine‐derived quaternary ammonium bromides as phase‐transfer organocatalysts has been developed. This study reports a novel approach for the asymmetric Mannich‐type reaction and a wide range of azomethines, including those derived from enolizable aldehydes, is tolerated by the present system. The adducts, obtained in excellent yields with ee up to 98 %, are suitable precursors of optically pure β‐amino acids. 相似文献
Acetylenes undergo the [4+2] cycloaddition to 3,6‐di(pyrrol‐2‐yl)‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazine in the potassium hydroxide/dimethyl sulfoxide or potassium tert‐butoxide/dimethyl sulfoxide systems (80 °C, 2.5–4 h) to afford (after extrusion of the nitrogen molecule from the intermediate) 3,6‐di(pyrrol‐2‐yl)pyridazines in up to 73% yield, while under non‐catalytic conditions this reaction does not take place. This unusual result substantially extends the scope of synthetic application and mechanistic diversity of the Diels–Alder reaction. The step‐wise mechanisms involving the formation of [OH/tetrazine]− or [t‐BuO/tetrazine]− anionic intermediate complexes or cycloaddition of tetrazine to the acetylide anion are considered. 相似文献

The formation of chiral γ‐butenolides has been achieved with good yields (up to 90%), high enantioselectivity (up to 91%) and diastereoselectivity (up to 9/1, anti‐selective) through an organocatalyzed vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction of 2‐(trimethylsilyloxy)furan and aldehydes.

A new series of 4,4′‐disubstituted prolines ( 1a–h ) has been developed and tested as organocatalysts in the direct catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction of several aliphatic ketones with aldehydes. Catalyst 1g affords the best enantioselectivities for this transformation. The reaction was carried out in DMF using a catalyst loading of 10 mol % at −10 °C to give the aldol products in up to 97 % ee for acetone. In the cases of cyclohexanone and cyclopentanone, the corresponding anti‐products were obtained in 94 % ee. 相似文献
Suspension polymerization expands the study of controlled radical polymerization to high conversions and is known as a method to synthesize polymers with high molecular weights. The radical block copolymerizations of styrene (S) and acrylonitrile (AN) or butyl methacrylate (BUMA) controlled by 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐N‐oxyl (TEMPO) was performed in an oil/water pressure reactor system at a temperature of 125°C. TEMPO‐terminated styrene homopolymer was employed as macroinitiator. The systems were examined by varying the composition of the monomer mixture at a constant reaction time, as well as by varying the reaction time for a characteristic monomer composition to get all of the possible conversion range. The solubility effects of acrylonitrile in the suspension medium were considered. Furthermore, the yield of the reaction was improved through initiator addition by taking control of the reaction. The polymerizations could proceed under control up to a conversion of 80–90%. By using the copolymerization equations, the solubility of pure acrylonitrile in the suspension medium could be calculated and was found to be 8 wt.‐%. 相似文献
The highly enantioselective organo‐co‐catalytic aza‐Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH)‐type reaction between N‐carbamate‐protected imines and α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes has been developed. The organic co‐catalytic system of proline and 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) enables the asymmetric synthesis of the corresponding N‐Boc‐ and N‐Cbz‐protected β‐amino‐α‐alkylidene‐aldehydes in good to high yields and up to 99% ee. In the case of aza‐MBH‐type addition of enals to phenylprop‐2‐ene‐1‐imines, the co‐catalytic reaction exhibits excellent 1,2‐selectivity. The organo‐co‐catalytic aza‐MBH‐type reaction can also be performed by the direct highly enantioselective addition of α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes to bench‐stable N‐carbamate‐protected α‐amidosulfones to give the corresponding β‐amino‐α‐alkylidene‐aldehydes with up to 99% ee. The organo‐co‐catalytic aza‐MBH‐type reaction is also an expeditious entry to nearly enantiomerically pure β‐amino‐α‐alkylidene‐amino acids and β‐amino‐α‐alkylidene‐lactams (99% ee). The mechanism and stereochemistry of the chiral amine and DABCO co‐catalyzed aza‐MBH‐type reaction are also discussed. 相似文献
The catalytic asymmetric epoxidation of 2‐arylidene‐1,3‐diketones using aqueous 30% H2O2 as oxidant has been successfully realized by a N,N′‐dioxide–scandium(III) triflate [Sc(OTf)3] complex, giving the corresponding products in moderate to good yields (up to 85%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) under mild reaction conditions without extra additives.
