Novel tridentate ligands derived from (+)-camphoric acid for enantioselective ethylation of aromatic aldehydes
摘要:
Novel tridentate ligands were prepared from (+)-camphoric acid, using simple synthetic sequences. The synthesized ligands were used in enantioselective ethylations of benzaldehydes, showing enantioselectivities up to 92%, at room temperature. Extending the reaction to other aromatic aldehydes, very good results (almost quantitative yields and ee up to 97%, for m-anisaldehyde) were obtained. Structural features such as no substitution in the salicylaldehyde moiety of the Schiff base and an ethyl group in the nitrogen at the Cl position of the cyclopentane ring seem to be essential for obtaining high enantioselectivities.

Derivatives of (+)-camphoric acid were prepared by a short and simple synthetic sequence and proved to be excellent ligands for the enantioselective ethylation of benzaldellyde with diethylzinc, with ees of up to 96% being obtained The most efficient ligand was tested with several aromatic alclehydes and ees of up to 99% were observed Structural features of the ligands are determinant for achieving high enantioselectivities.
