unactivated α,β-unsaturated amides is described. Consistently high enantiomeric excesses and yields were obtained over a wide range of alkyl thiol pronucleophiles and electrophiles under mild reaction conditions, enabled by a novel squaramide-based bifunctional iminophosphorane catalyst. Low catalyst loadings (2.0 mol %) were achieved on a decagram scale, demonstrating the scalability of the reaction. Computational
描述了第一个无金属催化分子间对映选择性迈克尔加成到未活化的 α,β-不饱和酰胺。在温和的反应条件下,通过一种新型的基于方酰胺的双功能亚氨基正膦催化剂,在各种烷基硫醇亲核试剂和亲电试剂上获得了一致的高对映体过量和产率。在十克规模上实现了低催化剂负载量 (2.0 mol%),证明了反应的可扩展性。计算分析通过分析相关过渡结构揭示了高对映选择性的来源,并为催化剂对 α,β-不饱和酰胺的羰基的特定非共价活化提供了实质性支持。
