Simple and inexpensive threonine-based organocatalysts for the highly diastereo- and enantioselective direct large-scale syn-aldol and anti-Mannich reactions of α-hydroxyacetone
摘要:
Simple and inexpensive threonine-based organocatalysts that promote syn-aldol reactions and three-component asymmetric anti-Mannich reactions of alpha-hydroxyacetone achieving a respectable level of enantioselectivities are reported. The syn-aldol products could be obtained with up to a 99:1 syn/anti ratio and > 99% ee while the anti-Mannich products could be obtained with up to a 96:4 anti/syn ratio and > 99% ee. Catalyst 1c can be used efficiently on a large-scale with the enantioselectivities of the syn-aldol and anti-Mannich reactions being maintained at the same level, which offers a great possibility for application in industry.

A short and efficient enantioselective synthesis of (−)-cytoxazone and its stereoisomer (+)-epi-cytoxazone, novelcytokinemodulators, has been described with good yield and enantioselectivity. Ti-catalyzed Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation of allyl alcohol and l-proline catalyzed three-component Mannich reaction constitute the key steps in introducing stereogenicity into the molecule.

A series of primary amino acid-derived polystyrene-supported organocatalysts was tested in antiselective Mannidi reactions. The polystyrene-immobilized threonine derivative showed the best performance in threecomponent (hydroxyacetone, anilines, and aldehydes) Mannich reactions to provide anti-beta-amino-alpha-hydroxycarbonyl compounds (11 examples; up to 95% ee), and its use could be extended to dihydroxyacetone and protected hydroxyace-tones (7 examples; up to 90% ee). The high activity depicted by the catalyst has allowed its implementation in continuous flow. Under this operation mode, the supported threonine catalyst produces anti-Mannich adducts with generally higher diastereo- and enantioselectivity than in batch. A family of five different enantioenriched anti-Mannich adducts has been sequentially prepared in flow by passing different combinations of anilines and aromatic aldehydes over the same sample of catalyst. This confirms the suitability of this methodology for the rapid access to small libraries of enantioenriched compounds.
