1-甲氧基-4-[1-(4-甲氧基苯基)-2-硝基丁基]苯 | Benzene, 1,1'-(2-nitrobutylidene)bis(4-methoxy- | 85078-20-2 | C18H21NO4 | 315.369 |
A series of alkyl and alkenyl p-methoxy arenes containing α,β-disubstituted diamino and amino alcohol groups were synthesized from β-nitro and β-azido benzylic alcohols in the presence of AuCl3 as catalyst. The formation of predominantly syn-disubstituted products were rationalized on the basis of mechanistic considerations and transition state models relying on A1,3-allylic strain. The products could have utility in the design of medicinally relevant compounds and as chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis. A new synthesis of (+)-sertraline (Zoloft) was achieved.
