Organocatalytic enantioselective Strecker reaction with seven-membered cyclic imines
2018
[EN] A highly enantioselective Strecker reaction with dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepines has been described using a dihydroquinine-derived thiourea as organocatalyst. The reaction affords chiral 10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f][1,4] oxazepine 11-carbonitrile derivatives in excellent yields (up to 99%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98%) under mild reaction conditions.
Enantioselective synthesis of pyrazolone α-aminonitrile derivatives via an organocatalytic Strecker reaction
2017
A new organocatalytic enantioselective Strecker reaction of pyrazolone-derived ketimine electrophiles has been developed. Using pseudo-enantiomeric squaramide catalysts the nucleophilic 1,2-addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide to the ketimines efficiently provides a direct entry to both enantiomers of pyrazolone α- aminonitrile derivatives at will in good yields and high enantioselectivities for a wide variety of substrates. peerReviewed
