The first asymmetricorganocatalytic epoxidation of α,β-unsaturatedaldehydes is presented. A chiral bisaryl−silyl-protected pyrrolidine acts as a very selective epoxidation organocatalyst using simple oxidation agents, such as hydrogen peroxide and tert-butyl hydroperoxide. The asymmetric epoxidation reactions proceed under environmental friendly reaction condition in, for example, water mixtures
介绍了 α,β-不饱和醛的第一个不对称有机催化环氧化反应。手性双芳基-甲硅烷基保护的吡咯烷使用简单的氧化剂(如过氧化氢和叔丁基过氧化氢)作为一种非常有选择性的环氧化有机催化剂。不对称环氧化反应在环境友好的反应条件下进行,例如,在醇的水混合物中,反应的范围通过以高产率和对映选择性 > 94% ee 形成光学活性的 α,β-环氧醛来证明。此外,还介绍了通过柠檬醛的不对称环氧化从螨虫直接合成性信息素。
Stereospecific Synthesis of α‐Hydroxy‐Cyclopropylboronates from Allylic Epoxides
Herein, we report a catalytic and stereospecific method for the preparation of enantioenriched α‐hydroxy cyclopropylboronates with control in four contiguous stereocenters. The reaction involves the borylation of readily available allylic epoxides using an inexpensive Cu(I) salt and a commercially available phosphine ligand. High diastereocontrol is achieved and different diastereomers can be selectively
