摘要:
A new class of chiral iodine(V) derivatives has been prepared. These compounds have been found to transform ortho-alkylphenols into ortho-quinol Diels-Alder dimers with significant levels of asymmetric induction.

During the synthesis of a chiral oxazolinyl-derived ethynyl ferrocene Fc-C C-C6H4-o-(4-iPr-2-Ox)} (Fc = ferrocenyl; Ox = oxazolinyl), we observed an unprecedented formation of highly air stable and monomeric pi-copper(I) complexes 4a and 4b, which were structurally characterized. CuI was used as a cocatalyst in this Sonogashira coupling. By the reaction of 4a with aqueous NH3/DMF, the CuI was removed from the complex and the metal-free compound 5a was obtained. This was found to be an excellent ligand for selectively binding Cu(I) halides. Analogous 4-Ph-substituted oxazoline-based ligand 5b and its Cu-I complex 4c were also isolated and characterized. The possible role of these complexes in explaining the copper cycle proposed for Sonogashira coupling has also been discussed.
