New Electrophilic Addition of α-Diazoesters with Ketones for Enantioselective C–N Bond Formation
摘要:
alpha-Diazoesters were discovered to be good electrophiles in a catalytic asymmetric alpha-functionalization of ketones for the first time. This reaction also provided a direct and efficient method for C-N bond formation with excellent yields (up to 98%) and enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) under mild conditions. The application of the electrophilicity of alpha-diazoesters opens up a novel way to access the diversity of diazo chemistry.
A Catalytic Asymmetric Ring‐Expansion Reaction of Isatins and α‐Alkyl‐α‐Diazoesters: Highly Efficient Synthesis of Functionalized 2‐Quinolone Derivatives
Asymmetricexpansion: A catalyticasymmetricring‐expansionreaction of the title compounds occurs in the presence of a Sc(OTf)3 catalyst bearing an N,N′‐dioxide‐based ligand. Highlyfunctionalized2‐quinolonederivatives containing a chiral C4‐quaternary stereocenter were obtained in high yields and high levels of selectivity under mild reaction conditions (see scheme; Tf=trifluoromethanesulfonyl)
