Enantioselective α-Benzoyloxylation of Ketones Promoted by Primary Amine Catalyst
摘要:
A mixture of 9-amino-(9-deoxy) epi-dihydroquinidine and salicylic acid was able to promote the direct reaction of various cyclohexanones with dibenzoyl peroxide, thus affording the corresponding protected alpha-hydroxy carbonyl compounds in high yield and enantioselectivity. Interestingly the same catalytic salt was found to be active when 1-indanones derivatives were directly employed in the reaction with dibenzoyl peroxide furnishing chiral 1-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl benzoates in high yields and enantioselectivity. Furthermore their treatment with NaBH4 gives easy access to the corresponding enantioenriched 1,2-diols in high yields and without any loss of stereoselectivity.
