Asymmetric Morita-Baylis-Hillman Reaction of Arylaldehydes with 2-Cyclohexen-1-one Catalyzed by Chiral Bis(Thio)urea and DABCO
摘要:
Novel bis(thio)urea organocatalysts were synthesized from axially chiral (R)-(-)-5,5',6,6',7,7',8,8'-octahydro-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine (H-8-BINAM), and their catalytic abilities have been examined in the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction of 2-cyclohexen-1-one or 2-cyclopenten-1-one with a wide range of aromatic aldehydes in combination with DABCO. The best result was achieved in the reaction of 3-fluorobenzaldehyde with 2-cyclohexen-1-one to give the desired Morita-Baylis-Hillman product in 79% yield and 88% ee.
Chemoenzymatic and bienzymaticcascades: We herein present three cascade routes to produce MBH adducts and compare the key advantages and challenges of the chemoenzymatic and bienzymatic methodologies.
Pepsin from porcine gastric mucous shown catalytic promiscuity was first discovered to catalyze the Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction between aromatic aldehydes with 2-cyclohexen-1-one or 2-cyclopenten-i-one in a two-phase medium of phosphate buffer/cyclohexane in the presence of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). The best results of the corresponding MBH products up to 77% yield and 38% ee were achieved. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
