Stereoselective Synthesis of Trisubstituted Aziridines with N-α-Diazoacyl Camphorsultam
摘要:
A Bronsted acid-catalyzed reaction of alpha-substituted alpha-diazocarbonyl compounds bearing camphorsultam as a chiral auxiliary and N-alkoxycarbonyl imines was implemented as an unprecedented means to provide trisubstituted aziridines in a highly stereodefined manner.
The acid‐catalyzed reaction of diazoacetates and aldimines (Brookhart–Templeton aziridination) is now recognized as a reliable method to provide enantiomerically enriched disubstituted aziridines, thus owing to the development of asymmetric catalysis. However, the extension of this method to prepare trisubstituted aziridines has not been explored to date, even for racemic products. In this context
