Enantioselective Michael addition of malonates to aromatic nitroalkenes catalyzed by monosaccharide-based chiral crown ethers
摘要:
The asymmetric Michael addition of diethyl malonate and alpha-substituted diethyl malonates to aromatic nitroalkenes was carried out under mild reaction conditions in a solid-liquid phase transfer reaction in the presence of alpha-D-glucopyranoside- and alpha-D-mannopyranoside-based crown ethers as the catalysts. The use of D-glucose-based lariat ether 1 gave the best results. The substituents of the beta-nitrostyrene and the diethyl malonate had a significant impact on the chemical yields and enantioselectivity. The addition of diethyl-2-acetamidomalonate to aromatic nitroalkenes afforded the corresponding Michael adducts in moderate to high enantiomeric excess (ee up to 99%). The reaction of diethyl-2-methylmalonate with 2-nitro-beta-nitrostyrene gave the adduct with 93% enantiomeric excess in the presence of crown catalyst 1. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
