Unusual reversal of regioselectivity in antibody-mediated aldol additions with unsymmetrical methyl ketones
摘要:
A catalytic regio- and enantioselective aldol reaction of various unsymmetrical methyl ketones with para-nitrobenzaldehyde has been developed using aldolase antibodies as the catalysts. It has been found that the sense and level of regioselectivity for the reactions catalysed by antibody 38C2 and 33F12 are highly dependent on the structure of both the donor and the acceptor but in contrast, antibodies 84G3 and 93F3 catalyse the exclusive formation of the linear regioisomer independent of the structure of the reactants examined. The level of enantiocontrol is very high for most reactions. Both linear aldol enantiomers could be accessed through aldol or retro-aldol reactions using the same antibody. Theoretical studies on regioisomeric alpha- and beta-heteroatom substituted enamines derived from unsymmetrical ketones suggest that most of the linear aldol products formed in the presence of antibodies 84G3 and 93F3 must be formed from intermediate enamines which are not the thermodynamically most favourable.

We wish to describe here that good levels of substrate-based, 1,5-syn-stereocontrol could be achieved in the boron-mediated aldol reactions of beta-trichloromethyl methylketones with achiral aldehydes, independent of the nature of the beta-alkoxy protecting group.
