Utilizing a chiral bicyclic imidazole organocatalyst and adopting a continuous injection process, an alternative route has been developed for the efficient synthesis of chiral phthalidyl ester prodrugs via dynamic kinetic resolution of 3‐hydroxyphthalides through enantioselective acylation (up to 99 % ee). The computational studies suggest a general base catalytic mechanism differing from the widely
利用手性双环咪唑有机催化剂并采用连续注射工艺,已开发出另一种途径,可通过对映选择性酰化作用(3-99%ee)动态动力学拆分3-羟基邻苯二酚来有效合成手性邻苯二甲酸酯基前药。计算研究表明,一般的基础催化机理不同于广泛接受的亲核催化机理。关键过渡态的结构分析表明,催化剂与底物之间的CH-π相互作用而不是先前考虑的阳离子/π-π相互作用是引起观察到的立体控制的主要因素。
