enamines to α,β-unsaturated esters. Despite extensive prior exploration of conjugate additions of aldehyde-derived enamines, catalytic conjugate additions to unactivated enoate esters are unprecedented. Achieving enantioselective and diastereoselective six-membered ring formation requires the coordinated action of a chiral pyrrolidine, for nucleophilic activation of the aldehyde via enamine formation, and
我们报告了一对已知的催化剂,使醛衍生的烯胺分子内共轭加成到 α,β-不饱和酯。尽管之前对醛衍生的烯胺的共轭加成进行了广泛的探索,但未活化的烯酸酯的催化共轭加成是前所未有的。实现对映选择性和非对映选择性六元环的形成需要手性吡咯烷的协调作用,用于通过烯胺形成亲核活化醛,以及氢键供体,用于烯酸酯的亲电活化。正确选择氢键供体对于化学选择性至关重要,这需要最大限度地减少来自高醛醇反应的竞争。从环庚烯六步合成 (−)-yohimbane 证明了效用。
