2‐a]‐pyrazole‐1,7‐diones, bearing up to three stereocentres, by reacting ready available N,N′‐cyclic azomethineimines and pyrazoleamides under catalytic loading of commercial 1,5,7‐triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec‐5‐ene (TBD), has been developed. The products are obtained in good yields and high diastereoselectivity, working at room temperature. Preliminary bioassay showed the products to inhibit growth of Gram‐positive
An organocatalytic asymmetric Mannich reaction of pyrazoleamides with cyclic trifluoromethyl ketimines: enantioselective access to dihydroquinazolinone skeletons
An organocatalyzed asymmetricMannichreaction of pyrazoleamides and cyclic trifluoromethyl ketimines with a chiral bifunctional amine-squaramide as the catalyst was developed. A wide range of trifluoromethyl dihydroquinazolinone derivatives bearing adjacent quaternary and tertiary stereogenic centers were readily obtained in good to excellent yields (up to 99%) with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities
A highlyorganocatalyzed asymmetric Michael addition reaction of pyrazoleamides to β-phthalimidonitroethene has been developed with a chiral bifunctional thiourea-tertiary amine as the catalyst. A wide range of γ-nitro β-amino amides were readily obtained in good to excellent yields with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield, 99% ee and >20:1 dr).
