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
A highly efficient strategy for the synthesis of a series of chiral bisaminophosphine ligands was well established with several remarkable features. The synthetic utility of these ligands was explored for rhodium‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations of α‐dehydroamino acid esters. Up to 98% ee values were achieved for the enantioselective synthesis of aminocarboxylic acids and their derivatives, which are very important chiral building blocks for the synthesis of a variety of natural products and biologically active molecules. 相似文献
An operationally simple and efficient copper‐catalyzed three‐component tandem reaction of terminal alkynes, diazo compounds and amines to yield β‐enamino esters is described. This straightforward protocol takes place rapidly with a wide range of substrates and gives the desired β‐enamino esters in good to excellent yields. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggested that the reaction probably proceeds through Cu‐catalyzed formal C–H insertion to produce an alkynoate intermediate, which was then trapped by amines to give the β‐enamino esters.
The spiro‐2,2′‐bichroman‐based chiral bisoxazoline ligands (SPANbox) were found to be highly efficient in copper(II)‐ and zinc(II)‐catalyzed asymmetric chlorinations of cyclic β‐keto esters with N‐chlorosuccinimide (NCS) as the chlorination reagent, to give the corresponding α‐chloro‐β‐keto esters in excellent yields in 5–30 min with ee values up to 97%. The copper(II) triflate and zinc(II) triflate complexes of a single SPANbox ligand demonstrated complementary results to each other with respect to the enantioselection, affording both antipodes of the chlorinated product enantiomers with good to excellent optical purities. 相似文献
Herein, we disclose the N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC)‐catalyzed [3+3] annulation of challenging esters with methyl ketoimines for the highly enantioselective synthesis of intriguing δ‐lactams featuring various substituent patterns. The annulation occurs under mild conditions and offers good tolerance, good yields and excellent enantioselectivities. The six‐membered heterocyclic products are valuable for the synthesis of bioactive molecules.
Highly modular chiral amino diol derivatives have been used as organocatalysts in the enantioselective α‐chlorination of cyclic β‐keto esters. Optimization of the catalyst structure and the reaction conditions has allowed the synthesis of optically active α‐chlorinated products with high enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee) using inexpensive commercially available N‐chlorosuccinimide (NCS) as the chlorine source under mild conditions. 相似文献

(2S,3aR,7aS)‐Perhydroindolic acid, the key intermediate in the synthesis of trandolapril, and its trans‐isomers, were readily prepared. These proline‐like molecules are unique in that they contain a rigid bicyclic structure, with two hydrogen atoms trans to each other at the bridgehead carbon atoms. These molecules were used successfully as chiral organocatalysts in asymmetric domino Michael addition/cyclization reactions of aldehyde esters with β,γ‐unsaturated α‐keto esters. They proved to have excellent catalytic behavior, allowing for the synthesis of multi‐substituted, enantiomerically enriched hemiacetal esters. Under optimal conditions (using 10 mol% catalyst loading), a series of β,γ‐unsaturated α‐keto esters was examined with up to 99% de, ee and yield, respectively. Additionally, the enantiomerically enriched hemiacetal esters could be readily transformed into their corresponding bioactive pyrano[2,3‐b]pyrans (possessing a multi‐substituted bicyclic backbone). 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
17 monodentate phosphepine ligands with a 4,5‐dihydro‐3H‐dinaphtho[2,1‐c;1′,2′‐e]phosphepine structural motif have been synthesized and tested in the asymmetric hydrogenation of various β‐keto esters. By variation of the substituents of the aryl group on the phosphorus atom a fine tuning of the selectivity of the catalytic system is possible. Quantitative yield and enantioselectivities up to 95% ee have been achieved for the hydrogenation of methyl acetoacetate ( 7a ), methyl 3‐oxovalerate ( 7b ) and ethyl 4‐phenyl‐3‐oxo‐propionate ( 7d ) using 4‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐4,5‐dihydro‐3H‐dinaphtho‐[2,1‐c;1′,2′‐e]phosphepine ( 4g ) as ligand. Best enantioselectivities were obtained at comparably high temperatures (100–120 °C), which had the advantage of increased reaction rates. 相似文献
Additions of structurally diverse α‐ketonitriles to aromatic and aliphatic prochiral aldehydes yielding highly enantioenriched acylated cyanohydrins were achieved using a combination of a titanium salen dimer and an achiral or chiral Lewis base. In most cases high yields and high enantioselectivities were observed. The ee was moderate in the initial part of the reaction but increased over time. This could be avoided, and higher ees obtained, by keeping the titanium complex, in the presence or absence of aldehyde and ketonitrile, at −40 °C prior to the addition of the Lewis base. A mechanism initiated by nucleophilic attack of the tertiary amine at the carbonyl carbon atom of the ketonitile is supported by 13C labelling experiments. 相似文献
The high enantioselective rhodium‐catalyzed hydroformylation of 1,1‐disubstituted allylphthalimides has been developed. By employing chiral ligand 1,2‐bis[(2S,5S)‐2,5‐diphenylphospholano]ethane [(S,S)‐Ph‐BPE], a series of β3‐aminoaldehydes can be prepared with up to 95% enantioselectivity. This asymmetric procedure provides an efficient alternative route to prepare chiral β3‐amino acids and alcohols. 相似文献
We have developed and optimized an enantioselective Michael reaction of malononitrile with β,β‐disubstituted nitroalkenes. This reaction was catalyzed by a cinchona alkaloid derived thiourea catalyst, producing products of high yields (up to 98 %) and stereoselectivities (up to 93 % ee). One of the adducts was used as an intermediate for the synthesis of dihydropyrrole derivative bearing a synthetically valuable quaternary chiral center.
The benzylic substituted P,N ligands, diphosphinobenzyloxazolines, showed their high catalytic activity as well as asymmetric induction in the iridium‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of unfunctionalized alkenes, α,β‐unsaturated esters, allyl alcohols, α,β‐unsaturated ketones, and imines, providing the corresponding chiral products in high ee with high conversion. 相似文献
A new class of nitro‐functionalized α,β‐unsaturated esters has been prepared by a regio‐ and diastereoselective Michael addition of nitroalkanes to β‐nitroacrylates, performed at room temperature, under carbonate on polymer as promoter, and in the presence of ethyl acetate as eco‐friendly solvent. Moreover, by the modular choice of the reaction conditions the method allows the synthesis of 1,3‐butadiene‐2‐carboxylates. 相似文献
A new enantioselective α‐alkylation of α‐tert‐butoxycarbonyllactams for the construction of β‐quaternary chiral pyrrolidine and piperidine core systems is reported. α‐Alkylations of N‐methyl‐α‐tert‐butoxycarbonylbutyrolactam and N‐diphenylmethyl‐α‐tert‐butoxycarbonylvalerolactam under phase‐transfer catalytic conditions (solid potassium hydroxide, toluene, −40 °C) in the presence of (S,S)‐3,4,5‐trifluorophenyl‐3,3′,5,5′‐tetrahydro‐2,6‐bis(3,4,5‐trifluorophenyl)‐4,4′‐spirobi[4H‐dinaphth[2,1‐c:1′,2′‐e]azepinium] bromide [(S,S)‐NAS Br] (5 mol%) afforded the corresponding α‐alkyl‐α‐tert‐butoxycarbonyllactams in very high chemical (up to 99%) and optical yields (up to 98% ee). Our new catalytic systems provide attractive synthetic methods for pyrrolidine‐ and piperidine‐based alkaloids and chiral intermediates with β‐quaternary carbon centers. 相似文献
The first organocatalytic enantioselective aza‐Michael addition of purine bases to α,β‐unsaturated ketones has been developed, affording Michael adducts in moderate to high yields (up to 96% yield) and high to excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee). A wide range of α,β‐unsaturated ketones including aliphatic and aromatic enones are tolerated in this process, generally demonstrating good reactivity, regioselectivity and enantioselectivity. The aromatic α,β‐unsaturated ketones showing quite low reactivity in the reported catalytic systems, were first successfully employed as Michael acceptors in this transformation, yielding high enantioselectivities (up to 94% ee). The utility of this method was also applied for the synthesis of enantioenriched non‐natural nucleoside analogues with potential biological activities. 相似文献
The hydrogenation of carboxylic acid derivatives at room temperature was investigated. With a mixed Rh/Pt oxide (Nishimura catalyst), low to medium activity was observed for various α‐amino and α‐hydroxy esters. At 100 bar hydrogen pressure and 10% catalysts loading, high yields of the desired amino alcohols and diols were obtained without racemization. The most suitable α‐substituents were NH2, NHR, and OH, whereas β‐NH2 were less effective. Usually, aromatic rings were also hydrogenated, but with the free bases of amino acids as substrates, some selectivity was observed. No reaction was found for α‐NR2, α‐OR, and unfunctionalized esters; acids and amides were also not reduced under these conditions. A working hypothesis for the mode of action of the catalyst is presented. 相似文献
Efficient one‐step syntheses of α,β‐ and β,β‐dihaloenones were achieved by ruthenium(II)‐catalyzed reactions between cyclic or acyclic diazodicarbonyl compounds and oxalyl chloride or oxalyl bromide in moderate to good yields. This methodology offers several significant advantages, which include ease of handling, mild reaction conditions, one‐step reaction, and the use of an effective and non‐toxic catalyst. The synthesized compounds were further transformed into highly functionalized novel molecules bearing aromatic rings on the enone moiety using the Suzuki reaction.
