Catalytic Enantioselective Friedel–Crafts Reactions of Naphthols and Electron-Rich Phenols
2016
The enantioselective Friedel–Crafts reaction is a powerful tool for the construction of benzylic stereocenters in a stereodefined manner. Significant advances have already been achieved with heteroarenes such as indoles and pyrroles; however, the reaction with homoarenes is less developed. This short review covers the most relevant literature on enantioselective Friedel–Crafts reactions with naphthols and phenols. 1 Introduction 2 Friedel–Crafts Reactions Involving 1,2-Nucleophilic Addition to C=X Bonds 3 Friedel–Crafts Reactions Involving Conjugate Nucleophilic Addition to Electrophilic C=C Bonds 4 Friedel–Crafts Reactions Involving π-Allylic Complexes as Electrophiles 5 ipso-Friedel–Craft…
Enantioselective Synthesis of 4-Substituted Dihydrocoumarins through a Zinc Bis(hydroxyamide)-Catalyzed Conjugate Addition of Terminal Alkynes
2013
A new enantioselective catalyst for the conjugate addition of terminal alkynes has been developed. Terminal alkynes react with 3-alkoxycarbonylcoumarins in the presence of diethylzinc and bis(hydroxyamide) ligands to give chiral non-racemic dihydrocoumarins substituted with an alkynyl group on the C-4 position with good yields and enantiomeric excesses up to 95%.
Chiral bis(amino alcohol)oxalamides as ligands for asymmetric catalysis. Ti(IV) catalyzed enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes
2005
Abstract Several chiral bis(aminoalcohol)oxalamides with C 2 -symmetry have been prepared and used as ligands for the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes. The reaction proceeds in the presence of titanium isopropoxide to give the corresponding ( S )-alcohols with ee up to 78%. In the absence of Ti(IV), the alcohols with the opposite configuration are obtained.
Synthesis of 2-isoxazolines: enantioselective and racemic methods based on conjugate additions of oximes.
2010
The formation of 3-unsubstituted 2-isoxazolines by means of condensation reactions between α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and oximes proceeds readily in the presence of catalytic amounts of anilinium salts. Mechanistically, the process involves a fast conjugate addition of the oxime and a slower intramolecular oxime-transfer reaction. The rate of oxime transfer was found to correlate with the acidity of the catalyst. This finding enabled us to discover an enantioselective process in which the fragile conjugate-addition product generated in the first stage is rapidly cyclized into the stable isoxazoline under acidic conditions, with conservation of enantiomeric excess. In summary, herein we descr…
Enantioselective zinc-mediated conjugate addition of terminal alkynes to enones.
2012
Zinc for conjugate alkynylation: The enantioselective conjugate addition of terminal alkynes to 2-arylidene-1,3-diketones in the presence of diethylzinc and a catalytic amount of (R)-VANOL has been developed. The reaction can be applied to different aromatic and heteroaromatic alkynes and enones, giving the expected products in good yield and with enantiomeric excesses up to 91%. The products can be enantiomerically enriched up to 99% ee by crystallization (see scheme).
Synthesis of an enantiopure 2-arylcyclohexanols from prochiral enol acetates by an enantioselective protonation/diastereoselective reduction sequence
2003
Abstract The enantioselective protonation with 2-sulfinyl alcohols of lithium enolates of 2-arylcyclohexanones with different substituents on the phenyl group takes place with excellent enantioselectivities (89–99%). Chiral 2-phenylcyclohexanone and 2-arylcyclohexanones carrying electron donor substituents on the aromatic ring are converted into the corresponding trans -2-arylcyclohexanols by diastereoselective reduction with sodium naphthalenide in the presence of acetamide. The stereochemical integrity of the tertiary stereocenter is fully preserved using this reduction procedure. Interestingly, the chiral proton source is not consumed in the synthesis.
Organocatalytic Enantioselective Alkylation of Pyrazol-3-ones with Isatin-Derived Ketimines: Stereocontrolled Construction of Vicinal Tetrasubstitute…
2016
A quinine-derived thiourea catalysed the enantioselective addition of 4-substituted pyrazolones to isatin-derived ketimines, providing a variety of aminooxindole-pyrazolone adducts containing congested vicinal tetrasubstituted stereocentres with excellent outcomes (up to 98% yield, >20:1 dr and 98% ee).
Intramolecular Michael reaction of tert-butylsulfinyl ketimines: asymmetric synthesis of 3-substituted indanones.
2011
Aromatic tert-butylsulfinyl ketimines bearing a suitable Michael acceptor at the ortho position readily undergo an intramolecular conjugate addition achieving indanone derivatives in good yields and complete diastereoselectivity.
Organocatalytic enantioselective synthesis of 2,5,5-trisubstituted piperidines bearing a quaternary stereocenter. Vinyl sulfonamide as a new amine pr…
2020
An organocatalytic desymmetrizing intramolecular aza-Michael reaction with vinyl sulfonamides as nucleophilic nitrogen source has been devised for the synthesis of a new family of 2,5,5-trisubstituted piperidines bearing a quaternary sterocenter. The process takes place with excellent levels of enantioselectivity and moderate to good diastereoselectivity. The vinyl sulfonamide moiety can be removed by means of an ozonolysis reaction.
Evaluation of the enantioselective binding of imazalil to human serum albumin by capillary electrophoresis
2015
In this work, a methodology for the evaluation of enantioselective binding of imazalil (IMA) enantiomers to human serum albumin (HSA) that does not require the separation of free and bound to HSA fractions is developed. This methodology comprises the incubation of IMA–HSA designed mixtures for 30 min directly in the capillary electrophoresis system and the subsequent direct injection and chiral separation of IMA employing highly sulfated β-cyclodextrin as chiral selector and the complete filling technique. Two mathematical approaches were used to estimate apparent affinity constants (K1), protein binding and enantioselectivity (ES) for both enantiomers of IMA. Moderate enantioselective bind…
