Enantioselective Mukaiyama-Aldol Reaction between Enol Silanes and Ketomalonate Catalyzed by the Copper(II) Complex of TIPS-Substituted Bis-oxazoline
摘要:
The stable complex [(4'S,5'S)-4b/Cu(Tf)(2)/H2O] (5), obtained from TIPS-Box and Copper triflate, catalyzes enantioselectively the Mukaiyama-aldol reactions between two silyl enol ethers (1a,b) and diethyl ketomalonate (2). Yields are very good and the ee of (R)-3b is up to 94%. When the reaction was catalyzed by 4-Ph-Box complex [(4'R)-4a/Cu(Tf)(2)], in which the configuration at the C-4 centre is opposite to that of 5, the same enantiomer was obtained. The undistorted square pyramidal structure of complex 5, determined by crystallographic structure, and the effect of water and molecular sieves on efficiency and selectivity of the catalyst, suggest some proposals to rationalize the resulting stereoselectivity.
A catalytic enantioselective addition reaction of silyl enol ethers to ketomalonate in the presence of C2-symmetric copper(II) bisoxazolines as catalysts is presented; the reaction has been studied for different ligands and substrates under various reaction conditions and proceeds in good yield and with ee’s >90% and a procedure for the preparation of an optically active hydroxy acid is shown.
