A serial of imidazolium chiral ionic liquids starting from commercially available (â)-menthol as a chiral pool have been synthesized and successfully used for catalyzing conjugate umpolung of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to stereoselectively synthesize γ-butyrolactones. The catalytic activities of these ionic liquids are examined and compared. The reaction of trans-cinnamaldehyde and p-methoxycarbonyl benzaldehyde as a model has been investigated in detail, and the reaction conditions have been optimized. Under the selected conditions, the ionic liquid catalyst can catalyze the annulations of trans-cinnamaldehyde with different aromatic aldehydes to afford differently substituted γ-butyrolactones. The recyclability of the ionic liquid catalyst is investigated, and the results have indicated that the catalyst can be recycled six times without obvious activity decreasing.
一系列以市售的(â)-薄荷醇作为手性源的咪唑鎓型手性离子液体已被合成,并成功用于催化α,β-不饱和醛的共轭umpolung反应,以立体选择性地合成γ-丁内酯。考察并比较了这些离子液体的催化活性。以反式肉桂醛和对甲氧羰基苯甲醛的反应为模型进行了详细研究,并优化了反应条件。在选定的条件下,离子液体催化剂能够催化反式肉桂醛与不同芳香醛的环化反应,得到不同取代的γ-丁内酯。研究了离子液体催化剂的循环使用性能,结果表明该催化剂可循环使用六次而活性无明显下降。
