Cinchona Alkaloid-Lewis Acid Catalyst Systems for Enantioselective Ketene−Aldehyde Cycloadditions
摘要:
Asymmetric cinchona alkaloid-catalyzed acid chloride-aldehyde cyclocondensation (AAC) reactions afford enantioenriched 4-substituted and 3,4-disubstituted beta-lactones with near perfect absolute and relative stereocontrol. These reactions are characterized by the operational simplicity derived from using commercially available or easily obtained (one-step) reaction catalysts and in situ ketene generation from acid chlorides. The range of aldehyde substrates that serve as effective AAC substrates include sterically hindered aldehydes such as cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde and pivaldehyde.
Asymmetric [2 + 2] cycloaddition of ketene with the aldehydes 1aâg, catalysed by 10 mol% of C2-symmetric bissulfonamide 2aâcâR3Al complexes afforded optically active 4-substituted oxetan-2-ones 3aâg in up to 74% enantiomeric excess.

practical aluminum-bissulfonamide complex catalyzed enantioselective formation of β-lactones by [2+2] cycloaddition of ketene (generated in situ from acetyl bromide by dehydrobromination) with various α-unbranched and -branched aliphatic aldehydes is presented. The methodology offers the advantage of operational simplicity not only as the ligand synthesis requires just a single sulfonylation step from commercially
