Enantioselective Synthesis of Dihydropyridinones via NHC-Catalyzed Aza-Claisen Reaction
摘要:
N-Heterocyclic carbene catalyzed aza-Claisen annulations of enals or their alpha'-hydrozyenone surrogates with vinylogous amides afford dihydropyridinones. The reaction proceeds with a broad range of substrates, and no nitrogen protecting group is required.
activation of saturated acid chlorides by oxidative N-heterocycliccarbene catalysis has been successfully utilized to synthesize enantio-enriched spirooxindolelactones and δ-lactones. The reaction involves the transformation of the β sp3 carbon of saturated acid chlorides into an electrophilic carbon as a key step. The product was obtained in excellent yield and stereoselectivity.
