Asymmetric Cross-Dimerization between Methyl Methacrylate and Substituted Alkene by Ru(0)–Bicyclononadiene Complex
摘要:
New Ru(0)-naphthalene complexes containing a bicyclononadiene ligand catalyze the linear cross-dimerization between methyl methacrylate and substituted alkenes by an oxidative coupling mechanism. The chiral (S,S)-2-methylbicyclo[3.3.1]nona-2,6-diene complex (S,5)-1b catalyzes asymmetric linear cross-dimerization between methyl methacrylate and 2,5-dihydrofuran to give the cross-dimer In 74% yield In 80% ee.
C3-selective direct couplingreactions of unsaturated 5-membered heterocycles such as 2,5-dihydrofuran, N-tosyl-2,5-dihydropyrrole, and 3-sulfolene with methyl methacrylate or methacryl amide are catalyzed by [Ru(η6-naphthalene)(η4-bicyclo[3.3.1]nona-2,6-diene)] (1b). As an application of this method, a pesticide lead, 2-methyl-3-(tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)propanamide (6ab) is prepared in 2 steps from 2
