catalysis, ferrocene could be an excellent scaffold for organocatalysts. The simple and easily accessible bifunctional ferrocene-based squaramide-phosphine shows high enantioselectivity in the intramolecularMorita–Baylis–Hillmanreaction of 7-aryl-7-oxo-5-heptenals, giving a variety of 2-aroyl-2-cyclohexenols in up to 96% ee.
Chiral cyclohexane-based phosphinothioureas were found to be efficient organocatalysts for the enantioselective intramolecular Morita–Baylis–Hillmanreaction of ω-formyl-enone. Among the solvents screened, t-BuOH was the best one which provided good yield and enantioselectivity. Moreover in the presence of 3 mol % of phosphinothiourea 2b, the desired products were obtained in good-to-excellent yields
available hydroxamic acids were leveraged to access challenging nitrones in the presence of H3PO4 as a Brønsted acid catalyst and engaged in an intramolecular (3+2) annulation reaction to make valuable cyclopentane-fused isoxazolidines with high yields and excellent diastereoselectivity. The products were further utilized in a unique base-promoted benzilic amide rearrangement to provide cyclopentane-fused
在 H 3 PO 4作为布朗斯台德酸催化剂存在下,利用容易获得的异羟肟酸来获得具有挑战性的硝酮,并进行分子内 (3+2) 成环反应,以高产率和优异的非对映选择性制备有价值的环戊烷稠合异恶唑烷。该产品进一步用于独特的碱促进的二苯乙醇酰胺重排,以提供带有三个连续立体中心的环戊烷稠合γ-内酰胺作为单一非对映体。
Highly Enantioselective Intramolecular Morita-Baylis-Hillman Reaction Catalyzed by Mannose-Based Thiourea-phosphine
AbstractThe saccharide‐based chiral bifunctional thiourea‐phosphines were developed as chiral organocatalysts for the intramolecular Morita‐Baylis‐Hillman reaction of ω‐formyl‐enones. With only 2 mol% of thiourea‐phosphine catalyst 3c, chiral functionalized cyclohexenes were achieved under mild reaction conditions with excellent yields and enantioselectivities.
