Cysteine-Derived Organocatalyst in a Highly Enantioselective Intramolecular Michael Reaction
摘要:
Asymmetric intramolecular Michael reaction catalyzed by an organocatalyst derived from cysteine has been developed for the synthesis of chiral bicyclo[4.3.0]nonene and cis-disubstituted cyclopentane skeletons with a creation of three or two contiguous chiral centers in good yield with high diastereo- and excellent enantioselectivities.
Simple proline-derived anilide-catalyzed asymmetric -intramolecular Michael reaction was described. Chiral cyclic keto-aldehydes were obtained from acyclic formyl enones in excellent yields with good stereoselectivity. The reaction proceeded in exceptionally fast with a commercially available proline anilide. On the other hand, the longer reaction time conduced toward the higher -diastereoselectivity
