Highly Efficient Asymmetric Trans-Selective Aziridination of Diazoacetamides and N-Boc-imines Catalyzed by Chiral Brønsted Acids
摘要:
A clean and fast (10 min) aziridination of diazoacetamides with N-Boc-imines, as well as N-Cbz-imines, catalyzed by chiral phosphoric acid (R)-5g in DCM at room temperature was developed, The excellent yields (89-97%), diastereoselectivities (trans/cis > 50:1), chemoselectivities (3:4 = >95:5), and enantioselectivities (88-98% ee) were achieved in the reaction.
The present invention relates to methods of synthesising aziridines including isotopically labelled aziridines, said methods comprising contacting an imine or one or more precursors thereof with a diazo compound in the presence of a phosphoramide or a phosphoramide-derived catalyst. The present invention also relates to aziridines, modified aziridines and aziridine-derived compounds preparable by the aforementioned methods, and to phosphoramide or phosphoramide-derived catalysts suitable for use in such methods.
