New class of bifunctional thioureas from l-proline: highly enantioselective Michael addition of 1,3-dicarbonyls to nitroolefins
摘要:
A new class of bifunctional tertiary amine thiourea was synthesized from L-proline. The reported thiourea is amenable to steric and electronic modifications at the stereogenic center bearing a thiourea moiety. Excellent enantioselectivity was obtained in the Michael addition of 2,4-pentanedione to various nitro olefins using the new organocatalyst. The construction of contiguous stereocenters via the Michael reaction of substituted 1,3-dicarbonyls to nitro olefins was also carried out with very good yield, enantioselectivity, and diastereoselectivity.

Organocatalytic asymmetric Michael reactions of fluorinatednucleophiles with nitroolefins catalyzed by Cinchona alkaloid-derived thiourea catalysts generated the desired Michael products containing vicinal fluorinated quaternary and tertiary chiral centers with exceptional enantioselectivity.
beta-isocupreidinate (beta-iCu) anions having well-known structure and catalytic activity in various asymmetric reactions, were incorporated into the interlayer gallery of hydrocalumite (CaAl-LDH) by the partial delamination-restacking method. Silylation of the outer surface of the LDH with trimethyl silane was also employed to avoid the adsorption of beta-iCu on the outer surface and to block the basic sites there. The obtained materials were characterized by a range of instrumental methods (X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, ATR-IR and grazing incidence IR spectroscopies). The catalytic activities of the composites were tested in the asymmetric Michael addition of beta-nitrostyrene and ethyl 2-fluoroacetoacetate. The beta-iCu-pillared LDHs proved to be active and recyclable catalysts with very good diastereoselectivities and acceptable and in 2-propanol very good enantioselectivities. The silylated composite retained its activity and diastereoselectivity even in the third repeated run, when heptane was the solvent.
