Enantioselective Hydrocyanation of N-Protected Aldimines
摘要:
Enantioselective hydrocyanation of N-benzyloxycarbonyl aldimines catalyzed by a Ru[(S)-phgly](2)[(S)-binap]/C6H5OLi system or a bimetallic complex [Li{Ru[(S)-phgly](2)[(S)-binap]}]Cl affords the amino nitriles in 92-99% ee. The reaction is carried out in tert-C4H9OCH3 with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio in the range of 500-5000 at -20 to 0 degrees C. Primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl imines as well as the aryl and heteroaryl substrates are smoothly cyanated to produce the desired products in high yield.
