PaaSicats: Powerful catalysts for asymmetric epoxidation of enones. Novel syntheses of α-arylpropanoic acids including (S)-fenoprofen
摘要:
Application of the recently developed silica-adsorbed polyleucine catalysts to the enantioselective epoxidation of Two enones is reported. Treatment of these epoxides with trimethylaluminium in moist dichloromethane generates the alpha-hydroxy-beta-methylketones, with inversion of configuration. Diastereoselective reduction of the ketone moiety followed by oxidative cleavage generates alpha-arylpropanoic acids. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
