Basic chiral ionic liquids: A novel strategy for acid-free organocatalysis
摘要:
We present design, synthesis and application of basic chiral ionic liquids based on commercially available (S)-proline. This new set of chiral ionic liquids was specifically designed to replace trifluoroacetic acid in enamine-based organocatalysis for asymmetric C-C bond formation. Based on their permanent charge, these chiral ionic liquids could be applied as organocatalysts in asymmetric aldol reaction of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and acetone, and good yields and selectivities up to 80%ee could be obtained without additional acid.

A reduction of various aryl, alkyl, and α,β‐unsaturated amides with phenylsilane, catalysed by a borinic acid, is reported. The unprecedented reaction was carried out under very mild conditions and led to useful amines. Furthermore, the reaction tolerates a variety of functional groups. Initial investigations implicated that an intermediate diarylhydroborane is involved in the reaction mechanism.
