The first solvent‐mediated tunable C3/C7 regio‐ and enantioselective Friedel‐Crafts alkylation of 4‐aminoindoles with α‐ketimino esters has been developed. This catalysis allows the highly regioselective formation of indole C3 and C7 alkylation products, both in high yields (up to 96%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). Mechanism study revealed that the hydrogen‐bonding interactions
已开发出第一个溶剂介导的带有α-酮
亚胺基酯的
4-氨基吲哚的C3 / C7区域和对映选择性Friedel-Crafts烷基化反应。这种催化作用可以高区域选择性地形成
吲哚C3和C7烷基化产物,既具有高产率(高达96%)又具有出色的对映选择性(高达99%ee)。机理研究表明,溶剂与催化剂的氢键相互作用对区域选择性的转换起着至关重要的作用。此外,相应的产物是
吲哚,其中含有带有四级立体中心的非天然
α-氨基酸衍
生物,并且可以进行许多进一步的修饰。
