Catalytic enantioselective Steglich rearrangements using chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes
摘要:
The evaluation of a range of enantiomerically pure NHCs, prepared in situ from imidazolinium or triazolium salt precatalysts, to promote the catalytic enantioselective Steglich rearrangement of oxazolyl carbonates to their C-carboxyazlactones, is reported. Modest levels of enantioselectivity (up to 66% ee) are observed using oxazolidinone derived NHCs. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The O- to C-carboxyltransfer of oxazolylcarbonates promoted by triazolinylidenes, generated in situ with NEt3, shows a markedly different rate and chemoselectivity profile to the same reaction promoted by triazolinylidenes generated using KHMDS. The mechanism of these pathways has been probed through extensive crossover studies to understand this process. The use of NEt3 as a base allows domino multi-step
