Bifunctional (Thio)urea–Phosphine Organocatalysts Derived from d-Glucose and α-Amino Acids and Their Application to the Enantioselective Morita–Baylis–Hillman Reaction
Novel (thio)urea–tertiary phosphines were developed for use as bifunctional organocatalysts readily available from naturally occurring molecules: saccharides and amino acids. The efficiency of the organocatalysts was demonstrated in the asymmetricMorita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) reaction of aromatic aldehydes with acrylates. The MBH products were obtained in good yields (up to 85%) and with high enantioselectivities

A series of bifunctional phosphineâthiourea organic catalysts based on natural amino acid scaffolds were designed and prepared. L-Threonine-derived bifunctional phosphine catalysts were found to be very efficient in promoting asymmetric MoritaâBaylisâHillman (MBH) reaction of acrylates with aromatic aldehydes, affording the desired MBH adducts with up to 90% ee. To gain mechanistic insights into the reaction, the effects of adding various additives on the MBH reaction were investigated. We propose that the hydrogen bonding interactions between the thiourea moiety of the catalyst and the enolate intermediate are crucial for the stereochemical outcome of the reaction. The method described in this report may provide a practical solution to the enantioselective MBH reaction of simple acrylates.
High yields and enantioselectivities up to 88% were achieved in asymmetricMorita-Baylis-Hillmanreactions using a combination of chiral amino acid derived guanidines and triphenylphosphane as a novel dual catalytic system.

In a proof-of-concept application in organocatalysis, the diastereomeric P-chiral β-aminophosphine-based bifunctional thioureas displayed significantly different activities in the Morita–Baylis–Hillman reaction of methyl acrylate with benzaldehyde

Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) reaction was developed. By massspectrometric back‐reactionscreening of quasi‐enantiomeric MBH products, an efficient bifunctional phosphine catalyst was identified that outperforms literature‐known catalysts in the MBH reaction of methyl acrylate with aldehydes. The close match between the selectivities measured for the forward and back reaction and kinetic measurements provided
