Chiral Bro̷nsted Acid-Catalyzed Asymmetric Friedel−Crafts Alkylation of Pyrroles with Nitroolefins
摘要:
A highly efficient Friedel-Crafts reaction of pyrroles with nitroolefins by a chiral phosphoric acid was realized. With 5 mol % of catalyst, reactions conducted at rt afforded the 2-substituted or 2,5-disubstituted pyrroles in up to 94% ee for a wide range of substrates.

The catalytic enantioselective and atom economic Friedel-Crafts alkylation of pyrroles with nitroalkenes under mild reaction conditions using a dinuclear zinc catalyst is reported. The versatility of the reaction is demonstrated by the conversion of a number of differentially substituted nitroalkenes with differentially substituted pyrroles. Tandem addition reactions to form 2,5-disubstituted pyrroles are also demsonstrated. All pyrrole alkylations have been carried out without using N-protecting groups, which also enhances the efficiency by which substituted pyrroles may be synthesized. The reactions result in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities.
