Complementary chemistry! α‐Isocupreine (α‐ICPN) was synthesized for the first time in one step fromquinine by treatment with CF3SO3H (see scheme). This compound serves as an enantiocomplementarycatalyst to β‐isocupreidine (β‐ICD) in the Morita–Baylis–Hillman reaction.
互补化学!通过CF 3 SO 3 H处理,从奎宁一步一步合成了α-异cupreine(α-ICPN)(参见方案)。在Morita-Baylis-Hillman反应中,该化合物可作为β-异cupreidine(β-ICD)的对映体互补催化剂。
