The aza-Claisen rearrangement of the enolate of N-(Z)-crotyl-N-(S)-phenethylpropanamide did not proceed in the presence of 1.5 equivalents of LHMDS as a base. However, the use of a large excess of base (10 equiv) promoted the reaction to give N-(S)-phenethyl-anti-2,3-dimethylpent-4-enamide with good stereoselectivities (anti/syn = ca. 95:5). An excess of base stabilized the amide enolates and prevented the decomposition to the ketene to prompt the rearrangement of various carboxamides with good stereoselectivity. This reaction provided a new method for the construction of asymmetric quaternary carbon centers.
N-(Z)-烯丙基-N-(S)-苯乙基丙酰胺的烯醇负离子在1.5当量的LHMDS作为碱的存在下并未发生aza-Claisen重排。然而,使用大量的碱(10当量)促进了反应的进行,生成具有良好立体选择性的N-(S)-苯乙基-反-2,3-二甲基戊-4-烯酰胺(反/顺 = 约 95:5)。过量的碱稳定了酰胺烯醇负离子,防止了其分解为烯酮,从而促使各种酰胺进行具有良好立体选择性的重排。这一反应提供了一种构建不对称季碳中心的新方法。
