Primary Amine, Thiourea-Based Dual Catalysis Motif for Synthesis of Stereogenic, All-Carbon Quaternary Center-Containing Cycloalkanones
摘要:
The enantioselective synthesis of alpha,alpha-disubstituted cycloalkanones has been developed using a primary amine, thiourea-based dual catalysis pathway. A range of electrophiles and ring sizes are tolerated under the reaction conditions. A possible catalytic cycle is presented to explain the reactivity.
Enantioselective Synthesis of Quaternary Carbon Stereogenic Centers through the Primary Amine-Catalyzed Michael Addition Reaction of α-Substituted Cyclic Ketones at High Pressure
The enantioselectiveMichaeladditionreaction of α-substitutedcyclicketones with acrylates was efficiently promoted by a primary amine chiral catalyst under high-pressure conditions (1.0 GPa) in tetrahydrofuran. This method was highly successful for the construction of an all-carbon-substituted quaternary-carbon stereogeniccenter at the α-position of cyclicketones in high enantiomeric excess,
