Chiral Brønsted acid-catalyzed enantioselective Friedel–Crafts reaction of 2-methoxyfuran with aliphatic ketimines generated in situ
نویسندگان
چکیده
An enantioselective Friedel–Crafts reaction with aliphatic ketimines generated in situ from hemiaminal ethers catalyzed by a chiral Brønsted acid was investigated. The reaction of 2-methoxyfuran with (thio) hydantoin-derived hemiaminal methyl ether proceeded under the influence of a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst to afford the corresponding adduct possessing a quaternary stereogenic center in high yield with high enantioselectivity. Theoretical studies were also conducted to clarify the mechanism of the stereochemical outcome and the major factors contributing to the efficient enantioselection.

We disclose herein a highly enantioselective protocol for the Brønsted acid-catalyzed addition of indoles and phenols to in situ-generated ortho-quinone methides which deliver broadly substituted diarylindolylmethanes and triarylmethanes, respectively, in a one-pot reaction under very mild conditions. A chiral phosphoric acid catalyst has been developed for this process serving to convert the s...

Asymmetric addition of indoles to cyclic α-diaryl-substituted N-acyl imines, which are generated in situ from 3-aryl 3-hydroxyisoindolinones, is described. The transformation proceeds smoothly with a broad range of indoles and isoindolinone alcohols using a SPINOL-derived chiral Brønsted acid catalyst to afford α-tetrasubstituted (3-indolyl)(diaryl)methanamines in excellent yields and enantiose...

The first catalytic enantioselective Prins cyclization is disclosed. The reaction is catalyzed by the combination of a chiral BINOL-derived bis-phosphoric acid and CuCl. The process consists of a tandem Prins/Friedel-Crafts cyclization that affords the hexahydro-1H-benzo[f]isochromenes products with three new contiguous stereogenic centers in high yields, and good enantio- and excellent diaster...
