Preparation of Chiral Phosphorus(V) Reagents and Their Uses with Borane in the Enantioselective Reduction of Ketones
摘要:
AbstractChiral pentavalent phosphorus reagents 5–17 were prepared from POCl3 and ephedrine (or the related α‐amino alcohols), followed by substitution with nucleophiles of phenylmagnesium bromide, alcohols, amines, diamines and triamines. The substitution reactions occurred in a stereospecific manner with retention of the configuration at the phosphorus center. The structures of these phosphorus(V) reagents were determined by spectral methods and verified by X‐ray diffraction in several instances. These phosphorus(V) reagents were used with borane/dimethylsulfide complex in the enantioselective reduction of aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic ketones. The phosphorus(V) reagents likely functioned as Lewis bases to react with borane, forming in situ zwitterionic species as the chiral reducing agents. The reactions were generally carried out at 0 °C in tetrahydrofuran solution with a molar ratio of ketone/borane/phosphoramidate = 1:1:0.2 to afford secondary alcohols with modest enantioselectivity, up to 67% ee in the reduction of 4′‐methylacetophenone.

AbstractWe present the first cyanohydrin derivative4that allows diastereoselective umpolung reactions. In4the OH group of the cyanohydrin is linked with a chiral phosphate, which can be removed hydrolytically after asymmetric synthesis. Cyclization of pseudoephedrine1dwith POCl3gave2d. This was followed by addition of racemic benzaldehyde cyanohydrin3to give the key intermediate4dwith complete retention of the configuration at phosphorus. Deprotonation of4d, followed by addition of a wide variety of electrophiles afforded the crystalline products5with high diastereomeric excesses (deup to 94%). High asymmetric induction was also achieved for the reaction of4−Li+with acyl halides, α‐bromoacetates, 2‐cycloalkenones, α,β‐unsaturated esters, and γ‐bromoacetates. Lewis acid assisted hydrolysis proceeded without racemization and gave high yields of ketone cyanohydrins6. From the ring‐opened chiral auxiliary7, optically pure pseudoephedrine1was readily recovered by acid hydrolysis. Optically pure (R) and (S) ketone cyanohydrins are now accessible in a very general strategy, which circumvents the substrate limitations of enzymatic synthesis.
