Enantiomerically Pure Epoxychromans via Asymmetric Catalysis
摘要:
A practical and highly effective process for the asymmetric epoxidation of several 2,2-dimethylchromene derivatives is reported. Catalysis by Mn(salen) complex 4 in all cases affords epoxychromans with > 90% ee, and this method has been applied to the synthesis of two recently developed antihypertensive agents in enantiomerically pure form.

system for asymmetricepoxidation was developed by using an achiral (salen)manganese(III) complex with chiral amine. Commercially available (-)-sparteine showed the highest asymmetric induction over the other chiral amines examined and addition of water to the reaction medium improved the induction up to 73% ee in the epoxidation of chromene derivative. Application of the system to the asymmetric oxidation

The optically active (salen)manganese(III) complex 1 having a carboxylate group on the ethylenediamine moiety was found to be an efficient catalyst for the asymmetric epoxidation of several 2,2-dimethylchromene derivatives (up to 99% ee). A high level of turn-over number (up to 9, 200) was also achieved in this epoxidation. The pseudo-axially oriented carboxylate in 1 was postulated to coordinate to the manganese ion and to fix the conformation of the salen ligand in the form enantiomeric to that of normal chiral (salen)manganese(III) complexes. This was supported by the absolute configurations of the produced epoxides. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
