A Simple Primary Amine Catalyst for Enantioselective α-Hydroxylations and α-Fluorinations of Branched Aldehydes
摘要:
A new primary amine catalyst for the asymmetric a-hydroxylation and a-fluorination of alpha-branched aldehydes is described. The products of the title transformations are generated in excellent yields with high enantioselectivities. Both processes can be performed within short reaction times and on gram scale. The similarity in results obtained in both reactions, combined with computational evidence, implies a common basis for stereoinduction and the possibility of a general catalytic mechanism for a-functionalizations. Promising initial results in alpha-amination and alpha-chlorination reactions support this hypothesis.

The first efficient visible light promoted metal-free dihydroxylation of styrenes with water and dioxygen has been developed for the construction of vicinal alcohols. The protocol was operationally simple with broad substrate scope. The mechanistic studies demonstrated that one of the hydroxyl group came from water and the other one came from molecular oxygen. Additionally, the ß-alkyoxy alcohols could
Herein, we report the first alkylative kineticresolution of vicinal alcohols realized by cooperative use of a chiral quaternary ammonium salt and an achiral borinic acid. In addition, a catalytic regioselective alkylation of a secondary alcohol in the presence of an unprotected primary one is presented, emphasizing the unique selectivity and potential of this ammonium borinate catalysis.

A highly enantioselective kinetic resolution of diols via asymmetricacetalization has been achieved using a chiral confined imidodiphosphoric acid catalyst. The reaction is highly efficient for the resolution of tertiary alcohols, giving selectivity factors of up to >300. Remarkably, even in cases where the selectivity factors are only moderate, highly enantioenriched diols are obtained via a stereodivergent
