First Enantioselective Catalyst for the Rearrangement of Allylic Imidates to Allylic Amides
摘要:
A series of Pd(II) complexes containing chiral diamine ligands were investigated as asymmetric catalysts for the rearrangement of allylic imidates to allyl amides. The best catalysts were cations obtained by dechlorination of dichloro[(S)-2-(isoindolinylmethyl)-N-methylpyrrolidine]palladium-(II) (II) (17) with silver salts in CH2Cl2. Catalyst 18 was studied thoroughly and shown by H-1 NMR and X-ray crystallography analysis to be a C-1 symmetric dimer (Figure 1). A series of related catalysts 22-27 having various counterions and anionic ligands were also prepared and studied as asymmetric catalysts for the rearrangement of allylic N-(4-trifluorophenyl)benzimidate 29 to allylic benzamide 30 (eq 4). Rearrangement of 29 in CH2Cl2 (48 h at 40 degrees C) in the presence of 5 mol % of 18 affords (-)-30 in 69% yield and 55% ee. Enantioselection is increased to 60% when an isomerically pure sample of 18 is employed. Chemical correlation of allylic benzamide 30 with (R)-norvaline established that (-)-30 has the R absolute configuration (Scheme 3). A cyclization-induced rearrangement mechanism (Scheme 1) requires that in the major pathway the imidate nitrogen attacks the re face of the olefin with Pd coordinated to the si face. These studies constitute the first report of asymmetric catalysis of the rearrangement of allylic imidates to allylic amides. However, significant hurdles remain to be overcome before the enantioselective rearrangement of allylic imidates becomes a practical route to enantioenriched nitrogen compounds.
Asymmetric aza-Claisen rearrangement of allyl imidates catalyzed by homochiral cationic palladium(II) complexes
摘要:
The asymmetric aza-Claisen rearrangement of (E)-3-alkyl-2-propenyl N-[4-trifluoromethyl)phenyl]benzimidates was catalyzed by a homochiral cationic palladium(II) complex generated from PdCl2{(S)-2-(2-diphenylphosphino)phenyl-4-benzyloxazoline} and silver tetrafluoroborate (Pd:silver=1:1) to give (S)-N-(1-alkyl-2-propenyl)-N-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]benzamide of up to 81% ee.

The first examples of the use of cyclopalladated complexes in enantioselective catalysis are reported. Cyclopalladated ferrocenyl amine 6f promotes the rearrangement of some 2-alkenyl imidates to allylically transposed amides in excellent yield and moderate enantioselectivity.
