C2-Symmetric Pyrrolidine-Based Chiral Ammonium Salts as a Phase-Transfer Catalyst
摘要:
Chiral pyrrolidinium salts having substituents at the alpha, alpha' positions were synthesized to develop a chiral phase-transfer catalyst which have more simplified structure. The catalytic function of these synthesized catalysts was evaluated using asymmetric benzylation of N-(diphenylmethylene)glycine tert-butyl ester, and alpha,alpha'-disubstituded pyrrolidinium salts having an alkyl chain with a hydroxyl group at a chiral center were found to afford moderate enantioselectivity.

Development of Guanidine-Bisurea Bifunctional Organocatalysts with a Chiral Pyrrolidine Moiety and Application to α-Hydroxylation of Tetralone-Derived β-Keto Esters
guanidine-bisurea bifunctional organocatalysts 5 bearing a chiral pyrrolidine moiety on guanidine were designed with the guidance of DFT calculations. The resulting organocatalysts 5 were examined for α-hydroxylation of tetralone-derived β-keto esters, and good selectivity was obtained with 5j bearing a methoxymethyl ether-containing chiral pyrrolidine moiety.
