Catalytic Asymmetric Nazarov Cyclization of Heteroaryl Vinyl Ketones through a Crystallographically Defined Chiral Dinuclear Nickel Complex
摘要:
A Ni(NTf2)(2) and tetradentate bisimino-bisquinoline ligand complex catalyzed the enantioselective Nazarov cyclization of heteroaryl vinyl ketones. An X-ray-quality crystal was obtained from a mixture of the Ni complex and the substrate, which was the dinuclear chiral Ni complex. From information regarding the structure of the complex, the substrate was distorted to form a helical shape, and the carbon atoms involved in bond formation were close to each other. In addition, mechanistic studies revealed that the configuration of the olefin moiety was isomerized before bond formation.
herein a viable binary acid strategy for the catalytic Nazarov reaction of aryl vinyl ketones. Simply combining a Lewis acid and a Brønsted acid led to a dramatic enhancement of the catalytic activity in the Nazarov reaction of aryl vinyl β-ketoesters. The obtained optimal binary acid catalyst In(OTf)3/diphenyl phosphoric acid (DPP) can be applied to a range of aryl vinyl ketones with good activity. A
