Pyrrolidine-thioxotetrahydropyrimidinone as an efficient organocatalyst for the enantioselective Michael addition of cyclic ketones to nitrodienes
摘要:
Among the various Michael additions, the enantioselective reaction between cyclic ketones and nitrodienes has received little attention in comparison to the corresponding reaction with nitroolefins. A bifunctional organocatalyst consisting of the pyrrolidine moiety and a thioxotetrahydropyrimidinone ring successfully catalyzed this asymmetric transformation. The products of the reaction between various ketones and nitrodienes were obtained in high yields (up to 96%) with excellent diastereo- (up to >98:2 dr) and enantioselectivities (up to 99:1% er).

The synthesis of both trans- and cis-diastereomers of pyrrolidinine-thioxotetrahydropyrimidinone bearing either a fluorine or a hydroxyl group was accomplished. The new compounds were tested for their catalytic properties in a variety of asymmetric organic transformations and compared with the first generation catalyst. It was found that the new catalysts could efficiently catalyze the reactions in
The organocatalytic Michaelreaction of ketones with γ-monohalonitrodienes catalyzed by chiral prolinethiol ether under solvent-free conditions was developed. The described method represents a novel approach for accessing highly functionalized monohaloalkenes with α, β-stereocenters of up to >99% ee.
