Enantioselective Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indoles with β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters catalyzed by new squaramide-linked bisoxazoline–Zn(OTf)2 complexes
摘要:
Enantioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions of indoles with beta,gamma-unsaturated alpha-ketoesters catalyzed by novel chiral C-2-symmetric squaramide-linked bisoxazoline-Zn(OTf)(2) complexes were investigated. The corresponding indole ketoesters were obtained in good to excellent yields (up to 98%) and with high enantioselectivities (up to 94% ee). This is the first report on the use of chiral squaramide-linked bisoxazoline SQBOX in a catalytic enanitioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
