New bidentate chiral phosphoramidites in copper-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of diethylzinc to cyclic α,β-enones: enantioselective tandem 1,4-addition-aldol reactions with 2-cyclopentenone
摘要:
New bidentate phosphoramidites were prepared starting from alpha,alpha,alpha ',alpha ' -tetraphenyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanol (TADDOL) or 1,1 ' -bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) and either 1,2-ethylene- or 1,3-propylenediamine N,N ' -disubstituted with achiral or chiral groups. The use of these ligands in the copper-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate addition of diethylzinc to 2-cyclohexenone and 2-cyclopentenone afforded products with e.e.s of up to 89 and 83%. respectively.
