First Iridium-Catalyzed Highly Enantioselective Hydrogenation of β-Nitroacrylates
摘要:
The first highly chemo- and enantioselective hydrogenation of beta-nitroacrylates was accomplished with an iridium catalyst (Ir-4) with yields and enantioselectivities of up to 96% and 98% ee, respectively. The resulting alpha chiral beta-nitro propionates are attractive building blocks for the synthesis of chiral beta(2)-amino acids, which are the core scaffolds of bioactive natural products, pharmaceuticals, and beta-peptides.

focuses on readily accessible thiourea hydrogen bond catalysts derived from amino acids, whose steric and electronic features are modulated by their degree of substitution at the carbinol carbon center. These catalysts were applied in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of nitroolefins furnishing the chiral products in up to 99% yield and 86% enantiomeric excess.

We describe a highly efficient and enantioselective Hantzsch ester mediated conjugate reduction of beta-nitroacrylates that is catalyzed by a Jacobsen thiourea catalyst as a key step in a new route to optically active beta2-amino acids.
