Therefore, hydroxyl alkylation of an aldehyde with indole is confronted with great challenges. Here, we report an efficient strategy for asymmetric hydroxyl alkylation of 2-substituted indoles with aldehydes under 0.1 mol% chiral phosphoric acid. A series of α-hydroxyl ketones were obtained in high yields (up to 99%) and good enantioselectivities (up to 97%).
通过与羰基化合物的Friedel-Crafts反应使
吲哚的羟烷基化是有用的策略。但是,由于容易形成双
吲哚副产物,因此反应仅限于酮。因此,醛与
吲哚的羟烷基化面临巨大挑战。在这里,我们报告了一种有效的策略,用于在0.1 mol%手性
磷酸下用
醛类对2取代的
吲哚进行不对称羟烷基化。以高收率(最高99%)和良好的对映选择性(最高97%)获得了一系列α-羟基酮。
