Iron(II)-Catalyzed Intramolecular Aminohydroxylation of Olefins with Functionalized Hydroxylamines
摘要:
A diastereoselective aminohydroxylation of olefins with a functionalized hydroxylamine is catalyzed by new iron(II) complexes. This efficient intramolecular process readily affords synthetically useful amino alcohols with excellent selectivity (dr up to > 20:1). Asymmetric catalysis with chiral iron(II) complexes and preliminary mechanistic studies reveal an iron nitrenoid is a possible intermediate that can undergo either aminohydroxylation or aziridination, and the selectivity can be controlled by careful selection of counteranion/ligand combinations.
(dr up to >20:1). This new transformation applies a functionalized hydroxylamine and Et3N·3HF as the nitrogen and fluorine source, which facilitates the efficient synthesis of β-fluoro primaryamines and amino acidsfromallylicalcohol derivatives. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that an iron–nitrenoid is a possible intermediate and that its reactivity and enantioselectivity can be efficiently
