β-Nitroacrylates as key building blocks for the synthesis of alkyl 3-substituted 5-oxopiperazine-2-carboxylates under fully heterogeneous conditions
摘要:
Substituted piperazines are important heterocycles possessing wide and important biological activities. Herein we report a new easy synthetic approach for preparation of alkyl 3-substituted 5-oxopiperazine-2-carboxylates using beta-nitroacrylates as key starting materials.
Herein, we present a new general and efficient protocol to synthesize pyrrole-2-acetic acid derivatives starting from pyrroles and β-nitroacrylates, under fully heterogeneous conditions.
AbstractA metal‐free stereoselective catalytic addition of in situ generated dienamine to β‐nitroacrylates has been developed. Starting from simple α,β‐unsaturated ketones, highly functionalized chiral β‐nitrocyclohexanecarboxylic esters were obtained in a single step, in good yields and up to 98% ee. By an unprecedented mechanistic pathway, starting from the synthetically readily available E‐nitroacrylate, the present methodology allowed us to obtain as major product the isomer bearing a cis relative disposition between the nitro and the ester groups, which is not accessible via a classical Diels–Alder reaction.magnified image
