摘要:
Novel chiral N‐phosphinamide and N‐phosphinyl imines have been designed, synthesized and applied to asymmetric aza‐Henry reaction to give excellent chemical yields (92%– quant.) and diastereoselectivity (91% to >99%de). The reaction showed a great substrate scope in which aromatic/aliphatic aldehyde‐ and ketone‐derived N‐phosphinyl imines can be employed as electrophiles. The chiral N‐phosphinamide can be stored at room temperature for more than 2 months without inert gas protection, and chiral N‐phosphinyl imines were also proven to be highly stable at room temperature for a long period under inert gas protection. The N‐phosphinyl group enabled the product purification to be performed simply by washing crude product with EtOAc and hexane. This reaction joined other eight GAP (Group‐Assistant‐Purification) chemistry processes that were developed in our laboratories. The absolute configuration has been unambiguously determined by converting a β‐nitroamine product into a known N‐Boc sample.
