Pd(OAc)2-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of α-Iminoesters
摘要:
An efficient Pd(OAc)(2)-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of alpha-iminoesters was realized for the first time at 1 atm hydrogen pressure and room temperature. Pd(OAc)(2), a less expensive Pd salt with low toxicity, was found to be the most suitable catalyst precursor rather than Pd(TFA)(2) which is usually the catalyst of choice for homogeneous asymmetric hydrogenation. The chiral alpha-arylglycine fragments are widely found in many chiral products and bioactive molecules.

Organocatalyzed Formal [2 + 2] Cycloaddition of Ketimines with Allenoates: Facile Access to Azetidines with a Chiral Tetrasubstituted Carbon Stereogenic Center
An enantioselective organocatalyzed aza-MBH-type reaction of ketimines and allenoates has been developed. The present formal [2 + 2] cycloaddition produces highly functionalized azetidines with a chiral tetrasubstituted carbon stereogenic center in good to excellent yields and high enantioselectivities.
