Salen Promoted Enantioselective Nazarov Cyclizations of Activated and Unactivated Dienones

چکیده
A novel class of chiral 5,5'-di(2,4,6-trialkyl)aryl salen-metal complexes have been developed and shown to catalyze highly enantioselective Nazarov cyclization reactions, giving rise to cyclopentenoids in 90:10-98:2 er. Significantly, the catalysts also promote, for the first time, highly enantioselective Nazarov reactions of "unactivated" dienones, producing hydrindenone products having in place three contiguous chiral centers.

Ni(II)-catalyzed enantioselective Nazarov cyclizations.
Nazarov cyclizations are catalyzed by a dicationic Ni(II) complex containing the chiral tridentate phosphine Pigiphos; the catalyst exerts a high degree of torquoselectivity and affords the products in up to 88% ee.
متن کاملCationic Cyclizations and Rearrangements Promoted by a Heterogeneous Gold Catalyst
A heterogeneous gold catalyst with remarkable activity for promoting the electrophilic reactions of aryl vinyl ketones and aryl dienyl ketones is described. The catalyst is easy to prepare, is robust, and can be recycled. Low loadings are effective for different types of cationic reactions, including Nazarov cyclizations, lactonizations, and [1,2] shifts.
متن کاملBrønsted Acid Catalyzed Phosphoramidic Acid Additions to Alkenes: Diastereo- and Enantioselective Halogenative Cyclizations for the Synthesis of C- and P-Chiral Phosphoramidates
The first highly diastereo- and enantioselective additions of a halogen and phosphoramidic acid to unactivated alkenes have been developed, catalyzed by a chiral Brønsted acid. A unique feature of these additions is the opportunity for stereocontrol at two noncontiguous chiral centers, carbon and phosphorus, leading to cyclic P-chiral phosphoramidates. In addition to their inherent value, the p...
متن کاملOrganocatalytic enantioselective desymmetrization of cyclic enones via phosphine promoted [3+2] annulations.
Phosphine catalyzed enantioselective [3+2] cyclizations on 4-substituted 2,6-diarylidenecyclohexanones and 2,4-diarylidene-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-3-ones take place with high diastereo- and enantioselectivity levels. The process affords spirocyclic compounds with excellent stereochemical control of up to five stereogenic centres.
متن کاملHeterogeneous and homogeneous chiral Cu(II) catalysis in water: enantioselective boron conjugate additions to dienones and dienoesters.
It was proved that a judicious choice of counteranion played a prominent role in Cu(II) catalysis for enantioselective boron conjugate additions in water; the use of Cu(OH)2 renders heterogeneous catalysis, whereas Cu(OAc)2 renders homogeneous catalysis; cyclic dienones underwent a remarkable switch of regioselectivity between 1,4- and 1,6-modes of the additions through these catalyses.
