Stereoselective Synthesis of Trisubstituted Aziridines with N-α-Diazoacyl Camphorsultam
摘要:
A Bronsted acid-catalyzed reaction of alpha-substituted alpha-diazocarbonyl compounds bearing camphorsultam as a chiral auxiliary and N-alkoxycarbonyl imines was implemented as an unprecedented means to provide trisubstituted aziridines in a highly stereodefined manner.
Despite the remarkable advances in catalytic asymmetricaziridinations over the past decades, establishing a general procedure for the stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted aziridines has remained an elusive goal. Chiral N-triflyl phosphoramide-catalyzed reactions of N-α-diazoacyl oxazolidinones and N-Boc imines were developed as a solution to this unmet challenge.
