Facile Preparation and Functionalization of Chiral Stabilized Ylides from Common Chiral Auxiliaries Using Triphenyl- phosphoranylideneketene (the Bestmann Ylide) and Their Use in Wittig Reactions
摘要:
Camphor-derived lactams and other related chiral controllers have been found to react with the Bestmann ylide (triphenyl-phosphoranylideneketene) upon heating in toluene. The resulting parent ylides provide convenient access to a structurally diverse set of chiral stabilized ylides via functionalization. The utility of these chiral ylides for Wittig reactions has been briefly investigated and the effects of alpha-substitution noted.
