Asymmetric Michael additions to .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated oxazolines. An efficient preparation of chiral .beta.,.beta.-disubstituted propionaldehydes
摘要:
A short stereoselective route to a variety of chiral, nonracemic alpha,beta-unsaturated oxazolines derived from (S)-tert-leucinol is described. Addition of organolithium reagents to this chiral oxazoline occurs in a Michael fashion, giving rise to adducts with high diastereoselectivity. Reductive cleavage of the oxazoline leaves the beta,beta-disubstituted aldehydes in > 93% ee. This process represents a significant improvement in one of the earliest asymmetric conjugate additions first reported in 1975.

The direct introduction of sp3 carbon fragments at the β position of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes is greatly complicated by competing 1,2-addition manifolds. Previous catalytic enantioselective conjugate addition methods, based on the use of organometallic reagents or ground-state iminium ion activation, could not provide general and efficient solutions. We report herein that, by turning them into strong

[Rh(cod)(2)]BF(4), serves as an effective catalyst for asymmetric isomerizations of allylic alcohols to aldehydes, furnishing improved yields, scope, and enantioselectivities relative to previously reported methods. The catalyst is air-stable and can be recovered at the end of the reaction. Mechanistic studies establish that the isomerization proceeds via an intramolecular 1,3-hydrogen migration and that
isomerization of primary allylic alcohols to chiral aldehydes using iridium‐catalysts bearing P,N‐MaxPHOX ligands has been studied. These catalysts can be fine‐tuned as they present three different stereogenic centers to modulate both the reactivity and enantioselectivity of a family of different substrates. The experimental part is supported by a DFT study of the reaction mechanism, which provides new

A second generation of chiral (P,N)-iridium catalysts--readily accessible from inexpensive L-serine--displays expanded scope for the asymmetricisomerization of primaryallylicalcohols.
AbstractNothing to sm(Ir)k at: Under appropriate reaction conditions, iridium hydride catalysts promote the isomerization of primary allylic alcohols. The best catalysts, like (R)‐1 (P green, O red, N blue, Ir yellow), deliver the desired chiral aldehydes with excellent enantioselectivity and good yields. Mechanistic hypotheses have been developed on the basis of preliminary investigations.magnified image
