Gold(I)-Catalyzed Asymmetric Aldol Reaction of N-Methoxy-N-methyl-.alpha.-isocyanoacetamide (.alpha.-Isocyano Weinreb Amide). An Efficient Synthesis of Optically Active .beta.-Hydroxy .alpha.-Amino Aldehydes and Ketones
摘要:
Asymmetric aldol reaction of N-methoxy-N-methyl-alpha-isocyanoacetamide (alpha-isocyano Weinreb amide) with aldehydes [RCHO: R = Ph, Me, i-Pr, (E)-MeCH=CH, (E)-BnOCH(2)CH=CH] in the presence of a gold(I) catalyst prepared in situ from [Au(c-HexNC)(2)]BF4 and chiral ferrocenylphosphine ligand (R)-N-methyl-N-(2-morpholinoethyl)-1-[(S)-1',2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenyl]ethylamine gave high yields of optically active trans-5-alkyl-2-oxazoline-4-(N-methoxy-N-methylcarboxamides) with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The diastereoselectivities (trans:cis) and enantiomeric excesses of the trans-oxazolines for the reaction with 1 mol % of the catalyst are as follows: R = Ph, 97:3, 96% ee; R = Me, 95:5, 97% ee; R = i-Pr, 98:2, 97% ee; R = (E)-MeCH=CH, 97:3; 99% ee; (E)-BnOCH(2)CH=CH, 96:4, 95% ee. These optically active oxazolines were converted to N,O-protected beta-hydroxy-alpha-amino aldehydes and ketone in high yields. An N-protected alpha-amino aldehyde (R = Ph) lacking the beta-hydroxyl group was also obtained through the catalytic hydrogenolysis of the oxazoline.

The cobalt(II) complex of a new D(2)-symmetric chiral porphyrin 3,5-diMes-ChenPhyrin, [Co(P2)], has been shown to be a highly effective chiral metalloradical catalyst for enantioselective cyclopropenation of alkynes with acceptor/acceptor-substituted diazo reagents, such as α-cyanodiazoacetamides and α-cyanodiazoacetates. The [Co(P2)]-mediated metalloradical cyclopropenation is suitable to a wide range
The cobalt(II) complex of new D2-symmetric chiral porphyrin 3,5-DiMes-ChenPhyrin, [Co(P2)], has been shown to be a highly effective chiral metalloradical catalyst for enantioselective cyclopropenation of alkynes with acceptor/acceptor-substituted diazo reagents such as α-cyanodiazoacetamides and α-cyanodiazoacetates. The [Co(P2)]-mediated metalloradical cyclopropenation is suitable to a wide range of terminal aromatic and related conjugated alkynes with varied steric and electronic properties, providing the corresponding tri-substituted cyclopropenes in high yields with excellent enantiocontrol of the all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centers. In addition to mild reaction conditions, the Co(II)-based metalloradical catalysis for cyclopropenation features a high degree of functional group tolerance.

fully substituted stereocenter [either all‐carbon or heteroatom‐substituted (sulfur and phosphorus)]. Stereocenters at the other four positions of the cyclopentane ring can also be introduced with good stereoselectivity. An initial mechanistic study indicates that phosphine addition to the electrophilic four‐carbon coupling partner is not the turnover‐limiting step of the catalytic cycle.
Several substrates containing both cyano and Weinreb amide functionalities have been synthesized to study the chemoselectivity of their reactions with organomagnesium bromides (ArMgBr and RMgBr). Excellent chemoselectivity towards the Weinreb amide was observed in most cases, even in the presence of excess Grignardreagent, affording cyano ketones in good-to-excellent yields.
