Threonine-Derived Phosphinite-Oxazoline Ligands for the Ir-Catalyzed Enantioselective Hydrogenation
摘要:
A series of chiral phosphinite-oxazolines was synthesized in four Steps starting from carboxylic acids and threonine methyl ester. In the asymmetric hydrogenation of a number of alkenes, iridium complexes of these ligands induced significantly higher enantioselectivities than the corresponding serine-derived complexes. Enantiomeric excesses of 89 to 99% were obtained for unfunctionalized alkenes with turnover numbers of up to 5000.
