ChemInform Abstract: Selective C-H Activation of Methoxy Groups in a Three-Component Photoreaction.
2016
Surprisingly, the photocatalytic activation of ethers by H-abstraction and addition of the generated radicals to iminium ions formed in situ from aldehydes and anilines predominantly yielded the products of methoxy activation for dimethoxymethane and 1,2-dimethoxyethane. Various anilines and aromatic as well as aliphatic aldehydes are suitable reaction partners for this three-component photoreaction (Porta-type process) which also provides a simple access to 1,2-aminoalcohols.
Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of a pyridiniminium bromide salt: 1-[2-(adamantan-1-yl)-2-oxoethyl]pyridin-4-iminium bromide
2018
The asymmetric unit of the title pyridiniminium halide salt comprise of one cation and one anion. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H⋯Br and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, C—H⋯π interactions, and π–π interactions into layers. The intermolecular interactions in the crystal structure are quantified by Hirshfeld surface analysis.
Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (E)-3-[(4-fluorobenzylidene)amino]-5-phenylthiazolidin-2-iminium bromide
2019
TARAMAPUBMED TARAMASCOPUS TARAMAWOS In the cation of the title salt, C16H15FN3S+·Br−, the phenyl ring is disordered over two sets of sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.503 (4):0.497 (4). The mean plane of the thiazolidine ring makes dihedral angles of 13.51 (14), 48.6 (3) and 76.5 (3)° with the fluorophenyl ring and the major- and minor-disorder components of the phenyl ring, respectively. The central thiazolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related cations and anions are linked into dimeric units via N—H...Br hydrogen bonds, which are further connected by weak C—H...Br hydrogen bonds into chains parallel to [110]. Hirshfeld surface an…
A Catalyst Designed for the Enantioselective Construction of Methyl- and Alkyl-Substituted Tertiary Stereocenters
2015
Tertiary methyl-substituted stereocenters are present in numerous biologically active natural products. Reported herein is a catalytic enantioselective method for accessing these chiral building blocks using the Mukaiyama-Michael reaction between silyl ketene thioacetals and acrolein. To enable remote enantioface control on the nucleophile, a new iminium catalyst, optimized by three-parameter tuning and by identifying substituent effects on enantioselectivity, was designed. The catalytic process allows rapid access to chiral thioesters, amides, aldehydes, and ketones bearing an α-methyl stereocenter with excellent enantioselectivities, and allowed rapid access to the C4-C13 segment of (-)-b…
Water in stereoselective organocatalytic reactions
2009
In this review, recent advances in asymmetric organocatalytic reactions carried out with variable amounts of water, from substoichiometric to a large excess (reaction medium), are discussed. We also summarize several proposed mechanisms for the different possibilities of the action of water both in the increased activity of the catalyst and in the asymmetric induction. Finally, the application of this catalytic methodology to the enantioselective synthesis of valuable compounds through enamine or iminium catalysis is presented.
