trans-4-Hydroxy-l-prolinamide as an efficient catalyst for direct asymmetric aldol reaction of acetone with isatins
摘要:
Prolinamide (2S,4R)-4-hydroxy-N-((S)-1-phenylethyl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide was found to be an efficient organocatalyst (10 mol %) for the direct asymmetric aldol reactions of isatins with acetone at -35 degrees C in THF and afforded the product in 79% yield with 74% ee. We have generalised the methodology for the direct asymmetric aldol reaction between isatin derivatives and acetone, and the corresponding aldol products were obtained in high yields (up to 99%) and with moderate enantioselectivities (up to 80%). This method has been applied to the enantioselective synthesis of (S)-convolutamydine. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
An enantioselectiveBiginellireaction that proceeds by a dual-activation route has been developed by using a combined catalyst of a readily available trans-4-hydroxyproline-derived secondary amine and a Bronsted acid. Aromatic, heteroaromatic, and fused-ring aldehydes were found to be suitable substrates for this multicomponent reaction. The corresponding dihydropyrimidines were obtained in moderate-to-good

Direct asymmetric aldol reactions between 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and cyclohexanone were catalysed by trans-4-hydroxy-(S)-prolinamide (10 mol %) in the presence of CH3COOH (10 mol %) as the co-catalyst under solvent-free conditions at 15 degrees C. (2S,4R)-4-Hydroxy-N-((S)-1-phenylethyl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide 2 efficiently, catalysed the asymmetric aldol reaction to afford the product in >99% yield and with 95% ee with an antilsyn ratio of 88:12 after 18 h. The additional trans-hydroxyl group on (S)-prolinamide and (S)-1-phenylethylamine both influenced the ee of the predominant anti aldol product. Different benzaldehyde derivatives with cyclohexanone gave the corresponding aldol products in 38-89% yields and with 56-94% ee with antilsyn (100:0-71:29). Catalyst 2 can be used up to 5 continuous cycles for asymmetric aldol reactions between 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and cyclohexanone with overall 91% yield and 86% yield of anti-product with anti/syn (98:2).
