Second Generation Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of Tamiflu: Allylic Substitution Route
摘要:
Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of Tamiflu, an important antiinfluenza drug, was achieved. After the catalytic enantioselective desymmetrization of meso-aziridine 3 with TMSN3, using a Y catalyst (1 mol %) derived from ligand 2, an allylic oxygen function and C1 unit on the CC double bond were introduced through cyanophosphorylation of enone and allylic substitution with an oxygen nucleophile. This second generation route of Tamiflu is more practical than our previously reported route.
De Novo Synthesis of Tamiflu via a Catalytic Asymmetric Ring-Opening of meso-Aziridines with TMSN3
摘要:
An asymmetric ring-opening reaction of meso-aziridines with TMSN3 was developed using a catalyst prepared from Y(OiPr)3 and chiral ligand 2 in a 1:2 ratio. Excellent enantioselectivity was realized from a wide range of substrates with a practical catalyst loading. The products were efficiently converted to enantiomerically enriched 1,2-diamines, which are versatile chiral building blocks for pharmaceuticals and chiral ligands. This reaction was applied to a catalytic asymmetric synthesis of Tamiflu, a very important anti-influenza drug containing a chiral 1,2-diamino functionality.
