Asymmetric tandem additions to chiral naphthyloxazolines. A new and potent chiral auxiliary resulting in a major improvement in convenience and efficiency
摘要:
Excellent diastereofacial selectivities over a wide range of temperatures (-78 to 25-degrees-C) were obtained with the title compounds with use of chiral oxazolines derived from (S)-valinol or (S)-tert-leucinol. These are the first useful levels of asymmetric induction observed without the presence of the chelating methoxyl groups. The dihydronaphthylcarbinols and aldehydes resulting from these additions were obtained in > 98% ee.
