Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of β-Amidophenylthioethers by Organocatalytic Desymmetrization of meso-Aziridines
摘要:
The desymmetrization of N-acylaziridines with Me3SiSPh, catalyzed by commercially available (R) and (S)-VAPOL hydrogen phosphate, produced beta-(N-acylamino)phenylthioethers in a highly enantioselective and efficient manner (78-99% ee). The selection of the suitable aziridine/nucleophile/catalyst molar ratio is crucial to obtain high ee's.

An amino-indanol derived chiral guanidine was developed as an efficient Brønsted base catalyst for the desymmetrization of meso-aziridines with both thiols and carbamodithioic acids as nucleophiles, which provided 1,2-difunctionalized ring-opened products in high yields and enantioselectivities.
A detailed gram-scale synthesis of VAPOL hydrogenphosphate, a structurally distinct chiral Brønsted acid, is presented. The reaction utilizes commercially available starting materials, proceeds with high yields and has been reproduced numerous times at scale.

Conditions for the phosphoric acid-catalyzed highly enantioselective ring-opening of meso-aziridines with a series of functionalized aromatic thiol nucleophiles are described. The procedure utilizes commercially available aromatic thiols, a series of meso-aziridines, and a catalytic amount of VAPOL phosphoric acid to explore the substrate scope of this highly enantioselective reaction.

Significant amounts of metal phosphate impurities have been detected by NMR spectroscopy and ICP-OES analysis of synthetic, as well as purchased, samples of VAPOL hydrogen phosphate purified on silica gel. The previously reported VAPOL hydrogen phosphate-catalyzed desymmetrization of meso-aziridines with different silylated compounds, has been re-examined. While metal-free phosphoric acid exhibited low activity and enantioselectivity, calcium and magnesium phosphate salts proved to be the true catalysts in these related processes. Reproducible high enantioselectivities were obtained in the ring-opening of cyclic meso-aziridines with Me3SiX (X=SPh, SePh, N-3) employing a 1:1 mixture of calcium and magnesium VAPOL phosphates. The reaction has been successfully extended to Me3SiSBn, Me3SiSMe and Me3SiNCS, giving ring-opened products in high yield and unprecedented moderate to good enantioselectivities.
