Design, synthesis, and application of novel chiral ONN ligands for asymmetric alkylation
摘要:
Starting from easily available chiral pool amino alcohols, a set of novel chiral ONN ligands was synthesized and their catalytic potential was examined in asymmetric alkylation. Ligands with a secondary central NH group and N-methylated ONN ligands were successfully applied as catalysts in the addition of diethyl zinc to various aromatic aldehydes, yielding secondary alcohols in excellent yields of up to 99 % ee.

A practical synthesis of novel coordinating chiral ionic liquids with an aminoalcohol structural motif was developed starting from commercially available aminoalcohols. These basic chiral ionic liquids could be successfully applied as catalysts in the asymmetric alkylation of aldehydes and gave high enantioselectivities of up to 91% ee.
