Microwave-Assisted Organocatalytic Enantioselective Intramolecular aza-Michael Reaction with α,β-Unsaturated Ketones
摘要:
AbstractAn organocatalytic enantioselective intramolecular aza‐Michael reaction of carbamates bearing conjugated ketones as Michael acceptors is described. By using 9‐amino‐9‐deoxy‐epi‐hydroquinine as the catalyst and pentafluoropropionic acid as a co‐catalyst, a series of piperidines, pyrrolidines, and the corresponding benzo‐fused derivatives (indolines, isoindolines, tetrahydroquinolines, and tetrahydroisoquinolines) can be obtained in excellent yields and enantioselectivities. In addition, the use of microwave irradiation at 60 °C improves the efficiency of the process giving rise to the final products with comparable yields and enantiomeric excesses. Some mechanistic insights are also considered.
intramolecular aza-Michael addition with enone carbamates catalyzed by chiral Brønsted acids was developed. A domino cross metathesis/aza-Michael addition for the preparation of 2-substituted pyrrolidines or benzopyrrolidines was also explored. The reactions described here provide an efficient asymmetric protocol for enantio-enriched heterocycles, especially 2-substituted pyrrolidines.

A novel method for the asymmetric synthesis of 2-substituted indolines, employing bifunctional amino(thio)urea catalysts, was developed. The reaction proceeded via an intramolecular aza-Michael addition mediated by activation through hydrogen bonding. The catalytic process was shown to be highly versatile and applicable to a wide range of substrates due to the flexible catalytic mechanism utilizing a noncovalent interaction.
