A series of chiral macrocyclic receptors containing a barbiturate binding domain based on two 2,6-diaminopyridine groups has been synthesized with the purpose of exploiting these for asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. Each macrocyclic host was built possessing an (R)-BINOL or a modified deoxycholate moiety as the chiral unit connected to the barbiturate binding domain with varying lengths of spacer. All the hosts with the exception of one were found to effectively bind a barbiturate–cinnamic acid conjugate with association constants in the order of 104 M−1 in CDCl3. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between several arylnitrile oxides and the cinnamate conjugates were examined in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of a chiral receptor affording two regioisomeric isoxazolines. Enantiomeric excesses of up to 30% were obtained in one case for the major regioisomer. In most cases, the enantiomeric excesses could be
measured directly from the crude 1H-NMR spectra owing to the diastereomeric interaction between the isoxazoline cycloadduct and the chiral receptor. The relatively low enantiofacial selectivities at the CC double bond of the cinnamate were attributed to the non-planar orientation of the barbiturate–cinnamate conjugate with respect to the receptor, as previously noted for the binding of barbital to an achiral macrocyclic host (S.-K., Chang, E. Fan, D. Van Engen and A. D. Hamilton, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1991, 113, 7640), directing the cinnamate unit away from the chiral unit.
一系列基于两个2,6-二氨基吡啶基团的巴比妥酸盐结合域的手性大环受体已被合成,旨在利用它们进行不对称的1,3-偶极环加成反应。每个大环主体构建时含有一个(R)-BINOL或修饰的脱氧胆酸部分作为手性单元,通过不同长度的间隔基与巴比妥酸盐结合域相连。除一种外,所有受体均能有效结合巴比妥酸盐-肉桂酸共轭物,其在CDCl3中的结合常数为10^4 M^-1数量级。在手性受体的定量存在下,考察了几种芳基腈氧化物与肉桂酸共轭物之间的1,3-偶极环加成反应,生成两种区域异构的异恶唑啉。在某例中,主要区域异构体的对映体过量达到30%。在多数情况下,由于异恶唑啉环加合物与手性受体之间的非对映异构相互作用,对映体过量可以直接从粗1H-NMR谱图中测得。肉桂酸在CC双键处的相对较低的对映选择性归因于巴比妥酸盐-肉桂酸共轭物相对于受体的非平面取向,这一点与以前报道的巴比妥酸盐与非手性大环受体的结合情况相似(Chang等,1991),导致肉桂酸部分远离手性单元。
