Unprecedented Catalytic Asymmetric Reduction of N−H Imines
摘要:
Addition of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide to perfluorinated ketones 1a-j affords (E)-N-TMS-ketimines 2a-j that are reduced in situ to afford racemic perfluoromethylated amine hydrochloride salts 3a-j in 54-97% yields. Solvolysis of the N-Si bond in MeOH leads to formation of bench-stable, isolable N-H imine Z/E isomer mixtures along with a methanol adduct. Enantioselective reduction of these three-component mixtures provides the first catalytic asymmetric synthesis of trifluoromethylated amines in 72-95% yields and 75-98% ee.

This invention describes the reaction of an alpha fluoroalkyl ketone with a bis(trialkylsilyl)amide to give a stable N-trialkylsilyl imine. Treatment of the N-trialkylsilyl imine with an alcohol leads to solvolysis of the trialkylsilyl group and yields a stable mixture of an aminal and an imine in high yield. Catalytic reduction of this mixture, or of the individual components, in the presence of a chiral catalyst leads to a fluoroalkyl amine with high enantioselectivity and high yield.
