Nucleophilic addition to vinylketenimine complexes. The asymmetric synthesis of carbon quaternary centres
摘要:
Addition of alkyl-lithium reagents to (vinylketenimine)tricarbonyliron(0) complexes generates compounds containing carbon quaternary centres. The major products from these reactions are either amides or aldehydes depending upon the conditions employed. Diastereomerically pure vinylketenimine complexes 7 and 8 of known absolute configuration were synthesised from (S)-alpha-methylbenzylisonitrile 6 (96% e.e.) and the (vinylketene)tricarbonyliron(0) complex 2. The addition of alkyl-lithium reagents to 7 and 8 occurred exclusively exo to the Fe(CO)3 group and the resulting compounds, which contained chiral quaternary centres, were found to be of high optical purity.

The first homochiral (vinylketenimine)tricarbonyliron(0) complexes have been formed. Nucleophilic attack occurs exclusively on their exo face and after an oxidative work-up homochiral β,γ-unsaturated carboxylic acids containing an α quaternary carbon centre are obtained.
