C2-Symmetric Pyrrolidine-Based Chiral Ammonium Salts as a Phase-Transfer Catalyst
摘要:
Chiral pyrrolidinium salts having substituents at the alpha, alpha' positions were synthesized to develop a chiral phase-transfer catalyst which have more simplified structure. The catalytic function of these synthesized catalysts was evaluated using asymmetric benzylation of N-(diphenylmethylene)glycine tert-butyl ester, and alpha,alpha'-disubstituded pyrrolidinium salts having an alkyl chain with a hydroxyl group at a chiral center were found to afford moderate enantioselectivity.
Symmetry-Assisted Synthesis of C2-Symmetric trans-α,α‘-Bis(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine and -piperidine Derivatives via Double Sharpless Asymmetric Dihydroxylation of α,ω-Terminal Dienes
摘要:
A new strategy has been developed for the synthesis of C-2-symmetric trans-alpha,alpha'-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine and piperidine derivatives 1-3 starting from symmetric alpha,omega-terminal dienes 4-6. The double-asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) reaction of 4-6 gave C-2-symmetric tetrols, which were converted in a four-step sequence to C-2-symmetric azacycloalkanes 17, 9, and 22, respectively. These azacycloalkanes were transformed into 1-3 in high enantiomeric excess (82% --> 98%ee). The double AD reaction proved to cause enantiomeric enhancement, even though the asymmetric induction for the first AD reaction is moderate. In addition, it was observed that the chromatography on silica gel of several C-2-symmetric azacycloalkanes (17, 20, and 22) of varying ee's resulted in marked enantiomeric fractionation.
A Formal [3 + 3] Cycloaddition Reaction. 5. An Enantioselective Intramolecular Formal Aza-[3 + 3] Cycloaddition Reaction Promoted by Chiral Amine Salts
摘要:
A detailed account on chiral secondary amine salt promoted enantioselective intramolecular formal aza-[3 + 3] cycloadditions is described here for the first time. The dependence of enantioselectivity on the structural feature of these chiral amines is thoroughly investigated. This study also reveals a very interesting reversal of the stereochemistry in the respective cycloadducts obtained using C-1- and C-2-symmetric amine salts. In addition, the influence of solvents, counteranions, and temperatures on the enantioselectivity is described, and a unified mechanistic model based on experimental results as well as semiempirical calculations is proposed.
Development of Guanidine-Bisurea Bifunctional Organocatalysts with a Chiral Pyrrolidine Moiety and Application to α-Hydroxylation of Tetralone-Derived β-Keto Esters
guanidine-bisurea bifunctional organocatalysts 5 bearing a chiral pyrrolidine moiety on guanidine were designed with the guidance of DFT calculations. The resulting organocatalysts 5 were examined for α-hydroxylation of tetralone-derived β-keto esters, and good selectivity was obtained with 5j bearing a methoxymethyl ether-containing chiral pyrrolidine moiety.

In the reaction of trans-2,4-disubstituted azetidine, trans-2, 5-disubstituted pyrrolidine, or trans-2,6-disubstituted piperidine with diphenylthiophosphinic chloride or diphenylselenophosphinic chloride in acetonitrile in the presence of potassium carbonate at room temperature, an unexpected carbon dioxide insertion produced carbamic diphenylthiophosphinic or diphenylselenophosphinic anhydride in
