Asymmetric Michael Reaction Catalyzed by Mimicked Peptides
摘要:
Peptides mimicked from active site of promiscuous aldo-ketoreductase were synthesized and tested as asymmetry catalysts in the Michael adduct reaction of aldehydes or ketones with nitroolefins to furnish the corresponding gamma-nitroaldehydes, gamma-nitroketones with up to 93 % yield, 99:1 dr and 71 % ee at room temperature and on eco-friendly solvents. Aspartic acid residue as second amino acid produced greater enantioselectivity.
The direct Michaeladdition of aldehydes and ketones to nitroolefins, catalyzed by N-i-Pr-2,2′-bipyrrolidine, is described. The desired 1,4-adducts are obtained in excellent yields with enantioselectivities up to 95% ee and dr up to 95 : 5 of the syn aldehydeaddition product. An unexpected inversion of diastereoselectivity was observed for the addition of α-hydroxy ketones to β-arylnitroolefins with
