A simple proline-based organocatalyst for the enantioselective reduction of imines using trichlorosilane as a reductant
摘要:
A simple and inexpensive proline-based organocatalyst was developed for the reduction of imines using trichlorosilane as a reductant. The reduction of N-aryl imines in the presence of 10 mol % of N-pivaloyl-L-proline anilide was carried out to give the corresponding amines in excellent yields (up to 99%) with high enantioselectivities (up to 93% ee).

Several chiral diamines, (S)-1-alkyl-2-(arylamino)methylpyrrolidine, were used as chiral catalysts for the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes. The best results were obtained by employing 0.15 equiv of (S)-2-anilinomethyl-1-benzylpyrrolidine, and chiral secondary alcohols were obtained with high enantiomeric excesses (up to 94% ee).
