Catalytic Mannich-type reactions of α-aminoacetonitrile using fluorenylidene as a protecting and activating group
摘要:
Catalytic Mannich-type reactions of 9-fluorenylidene-protected alpha-aminoacetonitrile with imines were investigated. The desired reactions proceeded smoothly to afford the Mannich-type adducts in high yields with high diastereoselectivities in the presence of a catalytic amount of 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG). A chiral guanidine catalyzed the reaction with good enantioselectivity. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

cooperative catalyst allows for an efficient stereoselective coupling of N‐alkylidene‐α‐aminoacetonitrile and ketimines to access this class of compounds bearing consecutive tetra‐ and trisubstituted stereogenic centers. The strategic use of a soft Lewis basic thiophosphinoyl group for ketimines is the key to promoting the reaction, and aliphatic ketimines serve as suitable substrates with as little as
