Regiodivergent Enantioselective γ-Additions of Oxazolones to 2,3-Butadienoates Catalyzed by Phosphines: Synthesis of α,α-Disubstituted α-Amino Acids and N,O-Acetal Derivatives
摘要:
Phosphine-catalyzed regiodivergent enantioselective C-2- and C-4-selective gamma-additions of oxazolones to 2,3-butadienoates have been developed. The C-4-selective gamma-addition of oxazolones occurred in a highly enantioselective manner when 2-aryl-4-alkyloxazol-5-(4H)-ones were employed as pronudeophiles. With the employment of 2-alkyl-4-aryloxazol-5-(4H)-ones as the donor, C-2-selective gamma-addition of oxazolones took place in a highly enantioselective manner. The C-4-selective adducts provided rapid access to optically enriched alpha,alpha-disubstituted alpha-amino acid derivatives, and the C-2-selective products led to facile synthesis of chiral N,O-acetals and gamma-lactols. Theoretical studies via DFT calculations suggested that the origin of the observed regioselectivity was due to the distortion energy that resulted from the interaction between the nudeophilic oxazolide and the electrophilic phosphonium intermediate.
unprecedented [4 + 2] annulation reaction between in situ formed azoalkenes and azlactones has been developed. This reaction provides a facile access to an array of 4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives, which are very promising in medicinal applications as potential biologically active candidates. Notably, these dihydropyridazinones could also be synthesized via a one-potreaction protocol by using the
Reciprocal resolutions between compounds (racemates and enantiomers) with similar structures have been examined. Amongst structurally similar compounds (so called relative structures) several N-acyl amino acids and amino acid esters were investigated. A part of the resolving agent or the racemic compound could be replaced by an achiral compound with a relative structure and an additive could occasionally improve significantly the efficiency of the resolution. Both the kinetic and the thermodynamic controls were observed as governing factors of the reciprocal resolutions. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
