Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of 3-Amino-2-oxindole Derivatives: Catalytic Asymmetric α-Amination of 3-Substituted 2-Oxindoles with a Chiral Scandium Complex
A highly enantioselective α‐amination of 3‐substitutedoxindoles with azodicarboxylates catalyzed by a chiral Sc(OTf)3/N,N′‐dioxide complex (Tf: triflate) has been developed and affords the corresponding 3‐amino‐2‐oxindole derivatives in high yields (up to 98 %) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee). The procedure is capable of tolerating a relatively wide range of substrates, and excellent
Sc takes action: The highly enantioselectivehydroxyaminationreaction of N‐unprotected 2‐oxindoles with nitrosoarenes has been realized using the Sc(OTf)3/L1 complex. The catalyst system exhibited remarkably broad substrate scope and high efficiency. This transformation is the first example of a chiral ScIII/enolate activating a nitrosoarene, and can be conducted on a gram scale without loss in the
Sc发挥作用:使用Sc(OTf)3 / L1络合物实现了N-未保护的2-氧吲哚与亚硝基芳烃的高度对映选择性羟基胺化反应。该催化剂体系表现出显着的底物范围和高效率。该转化是手性Sc III /烯酸酯活化亚硝基芳烃的第一个实例,并且可以以克级进行,而不会损失ee 值。
