Organocatalytic Stereoselective Epoxidation of Trisubstituted Acrylonitriles
摘要:
The first diastereospecific and enantioselective epoxidation of trans-2-aroyl-3-arylacrylonitriles by means of the commercially available diaryl L-prolinol/tert-butyl hydroperoxide system has been developed. These diversely functionalized epoxides were obtained in excellent yield (up to 99%), complete diastereoselectivity for the transisomer, and good enantioselectivity (up to 84% ee). Highly enantioenriched epoxides can be easily obtained after a single crystallization (ee > 90%).

An organocatalytic construction of optically enriched substituted pyran derivatives via amine-catalyzed Michael addition and subsequent enolization/cyclisation has been described starting from electronically poor alkenes. Functionalized pyrans were obtained in high enantioselectivities (up to 96%) and good yields (up to 90%) having three contiguous chiral centers.
While phosphine-mediated reactions have been extensively explored over the past few decades, the catalytic cyclopropanation reaction via a phosphonium ylide pathway has been significantly underdeveloped, and an intermolecular version still remains to be disclosed. Presented herein is a catalytic cyclopropanation reaction between readily available benzylbromides and activated alkenes, such as α-cyano
An effective one-pot sequential Michael addition/deprotection/cyclization/tautomerization approach to N-unprotected fully substituted trans-2-pyrrolines has been developed.
