Phosphine-catalyzed asymmetric additions of malonate esters to γ-substituted allenoates and allenamides

چکیده
Because carbonyl groups are ubiquitous in organic chemistry, the ability to synthesize functionalized carbonyl compounds, particularly enantioselectively, is an important objective. We have developed a straightforward and versatile method for catalytic asymmetric carbon–carbon bond formation at the γ-position of carbonyl compounds, specifically, phosphine-catalyzed additions of malonate esters to γ-substituted allenoates and allenamides. Mechanistic studies have provided insight into the reaction pathway.

متن کاملCatalytic asymmetric C-N bond formation: phosphine-catalyzed intra- and intermolecular γ-addition of nitrogen nucleophiles to allenoates and alkynoates.
Pin the amine on the gamma: A new method has been developed for the γ-addition of nitrogen nucleophiles to γ-substituted alkynoates or allenoates through intra- and intermolecular processes that are catalyzed by spirophosphine 1. An asymmetric version of this reaction affords enantioenriched pyrrolidines, indolines, and γ-amino-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.
متن کاملEnantioselective Carbon-Sulfur Bond Formation: γ Additions of Aryl Thiols to Allenoates Catalyzed by a Chiral Phosphepine.
An effective phosphine-catalyzed method has been developed for the enantioselective addition of aryl thiols to the γ position of allenoates, thereby furnishing ready access to aryl alkyl sulfides in very good ee. An array of mechanistic data are consistent with addition of the chiral phosphine to the allenoate being the turnover-limiting step of the catalytic cycle. The optimized reaction condi...
متن کاملHighly enantioselective construction of tertiary thioethers and alcohols via phosphine-catalyzed asymmetric γ-addition reactions of 5H-thiazol-4-ones and 5H-oxazol-4-ones: scope and mechanistic understandings.
Phosphine-catalyzed highly enantioselective γ-additions of 5H-thiazol-4-ones and 5H-oxazol-4-ones to allenoates have been developed for the first time. With the employment of amino-acid derived bifunctional phosphines, a wide range of substituted 5H-thiazol-4-one and 5H-oxazol-4-one derivatives bearing heteroatom (S or O)-containing tertiary chiral centers were constructed in high yields and ex...
متن کاملPhosphine-catalyzed [3+2] annulation of α-substituted allenoates with ester-activated α,β-unsaturated imines: a novel variation of the Lu [3+2] cycloaddition reaction.
A phosphine-catalyzed [3+2] annulation reaction of α-substituted allenoates with ester-activated α,β-unsaturated imines is reported, which provides new and efficient access to highly functionalized cyclopentenes bearing one all-carbon quaternary center. This reaction also expands the scope of the famous Lu [3+2] cycloaddition reaction.
