Design of Organocatalysts for Asymmetric Direct Syn-Aldol Reactions
摘要:
Two new organocatalysts 3a and 3b, derived from L-leucine and (S)-beta-amino alcohols that were prepared from L-valine, were designed and afforded the direct syn-aldol reactions of a wide scope of aldehydes with various ketones with an excellent diastereomeric ratio of up to >20/1 and enantioselectivities of up to 99% ee.
Novel organocatalysts derived from L-threonine and L-leucine have been synthesized for catalyzing directaldolreactions of hydroxycetone and unactivated aliphatic aldehydes with as low as 2 mol% loading of the catalyst, good to excellent yields and excellent enantioselectivities have been achieved for aliphatic aldehydes, whereas aromatic aldehydes yield only moderate enantioselectivities.
We present herein simple primary-tertiary diamine-Bronsted acid conjugates that catalyze both syn- and anti-adol reactions of dihydroxyacetones (DHAs) with high diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities. This type of organocatalysts functionally mimics all four DHA aldolases, namely L-fuculose-1-phosphate aldolase, D-tagatose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase, D-fructose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase, and L-rhamnulose-1-phosphate aldolase.
