已经开发了一种实用且有用的催化对映选择性方法,用于从可商购的芳族酮和芳基或杂芳基溴化物开始合成叔二芳基和芳基杂芳基甲醇。在该方法中,通过用n BuLi锂化从溴化物中原位生成有机钛试剂,然后用ClTi(O i Pr)3对所得的有机锂进行金属转移。在(R)-3-(3,5-双三氟甲基苯基)-1,1'-联-2-萘酚(BTFP-BINOL)以高对映选择性和高收率提供了相应的叔醇。反应也可以从呋喃和2-噻吩基锂开始。该方法操作简单,可在10 mmol规模下进行而没有任何困难。
A highly efficient enantioselective organozinc (R2Zn) addition to ketones catalyzed by chiral phosphoramide-Zn(II) complexes (1-10 mol %) has been developed. These complexes serve as conjugate Lewis acid-Lewis base catalysts. Chiral phosphoramides are derived from an inexpensive natural amino acid (i.e., L-valine). From a variety of nonactivated aromatic and aliphatic ketones, the corresponding optically
