Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of β-Amidophenylthioethers by Organocatalytic Desymmetrization of meso-Aziridines
摘要:
The desymmetrization of N-acylaziridines with Me3SiSPh, catalyzed by commercially available (R) and (S)-VAPOL hydrogen phosphate, produced beta-(N-acylamino)phenylthioethers in a highly enantioselective and efficient manner (78-99% ee). The selection of the suitable aziridine/nucleophile/catalyst molar ratio is crucial to obtain high ee's.

The first example of meso-aziridine desymmetrization with selenium nucleophiles is reported. The reaction, promoted by VAPOL-hydrogen phosphate using (phenylseleno)trimethylsilane as the nucleophile, proves to be very general and highly enantioselective (84–99% ee).

Conditions for the phosphoric acid-catalyzed highly enantioselective ring-opening of meso-aziridines with a series of functionalized aromatic thiol nucleophiles are described. The procedure utilizes commercially available aromatic thiols, a series of meso-aziridines, and a catalytic amount of VAPOL phosphoric acid to explore the substrate scope of this highly enantioselective reaction.
De Novo Synthesis of Tamiflu via a Catalytic Asymmetric Ring-Opening of <i>meso</i>-Aziridines with TMSN<sub>3</sub>
An asymmetric ring-opening reaction of meso-aziridines with TMSN3 was developed using a catalyst prepared from Y(OiPr)3 and chiral ligand 2 in a 1:2 ratio. Excellent enantioselectivity was realized from a wide range of substrates with a practical catalyst loading. The products were efficiently converted to enantiomerically enriched 1,2-diamines, which are versatile chiral building blocks for pharmaceuticals and chiral ligands. This reaction was applied to a catalytic asymmetric synthesis of Tamiflu, a very important anti-influenza drug containing a chiral 1,2-diamino functionality.
Catalytic Asymmetric Ring-Opening of<i>meso-</i>Aziridines with Malonates under Heterodinuclear Rare Earth Metal Schiff Base Catalysis
Catalytic asymmetric ring-opening of meso-aziridines with malonates is described. The combined use of two rare earth metal sources with different properties promoted the desired ring-opening reaction. A 1:1:1 mixture of a heterobimetallic La(O-iPr)(3)/Yb(OTf)(3)/Schiff base la (0.25-10 mol %) efficiently promoted the reaction of five-, six-, and seven-membered ring cyclic meso-aziridines as well as acyclic meso-aziridines with dimethyl, diethyl, and dibenzyl malonates, giving chiral cyclic and acyclic gamma-amino esters in 99-63% yield and > 99.5-97% ee.
Catalytic Enantioselective Desymmetrization of meso-Aziridines with Fluoromalonates
Catalytic enantioselective desymmetrization of meso-aziridines with fluoromalonates is described. Optimization studies revealed that the appropriate combination of Bronsted basic metal and Lewis acidic metal is important for promoting the reaction using fluoromalonates. A heterodinuclear Gd(OiPr)(3)/Y(OTf)(3)/Schiff base = 1:1:1 was the best catalyst, and ring-opening adducts, synthetic precursors for alpha-fluoro-gamma-amino acids, were obtained in 98%similar to 17% yield and >99.5%similar to 99% ee. Transformation of the ring-opening adduct into alpha-fluoro-gamma-lactam was also demonstrated.
