Direct Amino Acid-Catalyzed Asymmetric Desymmetrization of meso-Compounds: Tandem Aminoxylation/O−N Bond Heterolysis Reactions
摘要:
A practical organocatalytic process for the synthesis of optically active, highly substituted (x-hydroxy-ketones was achieved through asymmetric desymmetrization (ADS) of prochiral ketones. The ADS and O-N bond reduction reaction of prochiral ketone with nitrosobenzene in the presence of a catalytic amount of chiral amine or amino acid produced the tandem ADS/O-N bond reduced products as single diastereomers with good yields and excellent enantiomeric excesses.
