Enantioselective Functionalization of Inactive sp3 C–H Bonds Remote to Functional Group by Metal/Organo Cooperative Catalysis
摘要:
A metal/organo cooperative catalysis to enable the enantioselective functionalization of inactive C-H bonds gamma to the formyl group in aliphatic aldehydes has been established. Instead of using enals as substrates in traditional organocatalytic cydization reactions, the aliphatic aldehydes directly participated in [4 + 2] cyclization with quinone derivatives exploiting molecular oxygen as oxidants to afford optically active cyclic molecules with excellent levels of enantioselectivity. This method features a combination of pot, step, and atom economy.

Matching catalyst and substrate: Organocatalyticcycloaddition between dienamines and 1,4‐benzo‐ or 1,4‐naphthoquinones affords biologically interesting dihydronaphtho‐ and dihydroanthraquinone core structures. The enantioselectivity of this new reaction is ensured by a steric shielding catalyst and carefully selecting substrates that greatly favor the endo approach (see scheme) due to electrostatic
