Highly Enantioselective Chlorination of β-Keto Esters and Subsequent SN2 Displacement of Tertiary Chlorides: A Flexible Method for the Construction of Quaternary Stereogenic Centers
摘要:
Highly enantioselective chlorination of beta-oxo esters and subsequent stereospecific substitution of tertiary chlorides are described. Enantioselective chlorination of beta-keto esters and malonates was performed using a chiral Lewis acid catalyst prepared from Cu(OTf)(2) and the newly developed spirooxazoline ligand 2 to yield the desired a-chlorinated products with high enantioselectivity (up to 98% ee). Nucleophilic substitution of the resulting chlorides proceeded smoothly to afford a variety of chiral molecules such as alpha-amino, alpha-allcylthio, and alpha-fluoro esters, without loss of enantiopurity. The results of X-ray crystallographic analysis proved that Walden inversion occurs at the chlorinated tertiary carbon center. These results supported the fact that the substitution proceeds via an S(N)2 mechanism.

The enantioselective $\alpha}$-chlorination of cyclic $\beta}$-ketoesters catalyzed by chiral 2-aminoalcohol derivatives (2f) has been developed. For the optically active $\alpha}$-chlorinated products, the isolated yields are in the range of 85-94% and the enantiomeric excesses are up to 84% ee.
Abstract An iron(III)-BPsalan complex was found to efficiently catalyze the asymmetric chlorination reaction of cyclic β-ketoesters and N-Boc oxindoles, affording the corresponding chlorinated products in high yield and up to 92% ee with NCS as chlorination reagent under mild reaction conditions. An iron(III)-BPsalan complex was found to efficiently catalyze the asymmetric chlorination reaction of
