Enantioselective Aza-Henry Reaction with Acyclic Guanidine-Thiourea Bifunctional Organocatalyst

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 3 2009
Keisuke Takada
Abstract A highly enantioselective aza-Henry reaction of imines with nitromethane was achieved with a reactive guanidine-thiourea bifunctional organocatalyst affording ,-nitroamines with high enantioselectivity (up to 96% ee). The diastereo- and enantioselective version of this reaction with nitroalkanes also proceeded selectively (up to 99:1 dr with 99% ee). [source]

First Enantioselective Synthesis of (R)-Convolutamydine B and E with N -(Heteroarenesulfonyl)prolinamides

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 28 2009
Noriyuki Hara
Crossed-aldol reaction: The synthesis of (R)-convolutamydine E has been achieved by the crossed-aldol reaction of acetaldehyde with 4,6-dibromoisatin (1: X = Y = Br) by using a bifunctional organocatalyst. This strategy allows the enantioselective synthesis of (R)-convolutamydine E derivatives and convolutamydine B. [source]


Enantioselective Alcoholysis of meso -Glutaric Anhydrides Catalyzed by Cinchona -Based Sulfonamide Catalysts

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 13 2010
Sang Eun Park
Abstract The bifunctional Cinchona -based sulfonamide catalysts showed the highest levels of enantioselectivity reported to date in the alcoholytic desymmetrization of meso -glutaric anhydrides. Density functional theory (DFT) computational studies provide detailed insight into the observed sense of enantioselectivity. Moreover, detailed experimental studies and single crystal X-ray analysis confirmed that these bifunctional organocatalysts 3 do not form H-bonded self-aggregates in both solution and solid state. The synthetic utility of this methodology was also demonstrated in the synthesis of pharmaceutically important ,-amino acids, such as (S)-pregabalin. Of the many asymmetric syntheses of enantiomerically pure (S)-pregabalin reported to date, our synthesis requires the least number of and the simplest steps. [source]

Abstract Efficient Cinchona -derived chiral 2-aminobenzimidazole catalysts were prepared by the coupling of 5,7-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2-chlorobenzimidazole with C(9S)-aminodihydroquinine or C(9R)-aminodihydroquinidine and successively applied to the Michael addition of dimethyl malonate to nitroolefins as very efficient chiral Lewis acid bifunctional organocatalysts (up to >99% ee).

Enantio- and Diastereoselective Mannich-Type Reactions of ,-Cyano Ketones with N -Boc Aldimines Catalyzed by Chiral Bifunctional Urea

Ju Hee Lee
Abstract The catalytic enantioselective electrophilic Mannich-type reaction promoted by chiral bifunctional organocatalysts is described. The treatment of ,-cyano ketones with N -Boc-aldimines under mild reaction conditions afforded the corresponding ,-amino-,-cyano ketones with excellent diastereoselectivities (up to syn/anti=100/0), and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee).

Polymer-Supported Highly Enantioselective Catalyst for Nitro-Michael Addition: Tuning through Variation of the Number of H-Bond Donors and Spacer Length

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 4 2009
Lital Tuchman-Shukron
Abstract Two series of polymer-bound bifunctional organocatalysts, based on chiral diamine scaffolds, were prepared by solid-phase synthesis. The series, incorporating a single hydrogen bond donor carbamate functionality, was notably more enantioselective in the Michael reaction of acetone and nitrostyrene than the series that includes a double hydrogen bond donor urea moiety, or the polymer-bound diamine that lacks sufficiently acidic protons. The best aminocarbamate catalyst promoted the addition of acetone to nitroolefins with enantioselectivity unmatched by known heterogeneous catalysts. Introduction of a short linear spacer between the support and the scaffold improves the activity but reduces the selectivity of the catalyst. Alternatively, an increase in the reaction yield could be induced by the benzoic acid additive. [source]
