Synthesis and application of new (threo)- and (erythro)-amino alcohols based on the octahydro-cyclopenta[b]pyrrole system in the catalytic enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde
摘要:
Asymmetric catalytic ethylation of benzaldehyde utilizing a series of new, artificial B-amino alcohols based on the octahydro-cyclopenta[b]pyrrole system is presented. A systematic investigation on the inductive correlation of up to four catalyst-internal stereogenic centers and on steric aspects of these structures has been conducted with diastereomerically pure, bicyclic (erythro)- and (threo)-compounds 2-13. Chiral ligands have been developed reaching excellent enantioselectivities, e.g. enantiomeric excesses up to 91% with a favored (R)-induction. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
