Enantioselective Diels-Alder reactions of enals and alkylidene diketones catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbenes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An electron-withdrawing group was introduced to the α-position of chalcones, and the resulting alkylidene diketones showed new reactivities with enals under the catalysis of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). Selective activation of enals affords enolate equivalents that undergo highly enantioselective intermolecular Diels-Alder reactions with the alkylidene diketones. No products that might have resulted from typical homoenolate pathways were observed.

Formal Diels-Alder reactions of chalcones and formylcyclopropanes catalyzed by chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes.
Highly enantioselective (formal) hetero-Diels-Alder reactions between chalcones and formylcyclopropanes are disclosed. The challenging N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-bounded enolate intermediates from formylcyclopropanes were captured for new C-C bond forming reactions. The reaction products were obtained with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities and could be easily transformed to optically p...
متن کاملChiral N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed generation of ester enolate equivalents from α,β-unsaturated aldehydes for enantioselective Diels–Alder reactions
The catalytic generation of chiral ester enolate equivalents from α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with chiral N-hetereocyclic carbene catalysts makes possible highly enantioselective hetero-Diels– Alder reactions. The reactions proceed under simple, mild conditions with both aliphatic and aromatic substituted enals as substrates. Previous attempts to employ these starting materials as enolate precurs...
متن کاملEnantioselective Stetter reactions of enals and modified chalcones catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbenes.
Organocatalytic activation of readily available substrates has led to the rapid development of many enantioselective reactions in the last decade. In N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis, reactions of enals with enones or enone derivatives have been extensively investigated and are reported to undergo a diverse set of transformations based on the catalytically generated enolate and homoenolat...
متن کاملHighly enantioselective addition of enals to isatin-derived ketimines catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbenes: synthesis of spirocyclic γ-lactams.
An N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed annulation reaction of isatin N-Boc ketimines and enals is developed for the synthesis of spirocyclic oxindole-γ-lactams bearing one quaternary chiral center in good yields and excellent stereoselectivities (up to >20:1 dr and 99% ee).
متن کاملAsymmetric Diels-Alder reactions catalyzed by a triflic acid activated chiral oxazaborolidine.
This paper reports a new method for the generation of chiral Lewis superacids by protonation of a non-Lewis acidic oxazaborolidine (1) with triflic acid. The resulting cationic species (3) are powerful and highly enantioselective catalysts for the Diels-Alder reaction of various 1,3-dienes with alpha,beta-enals. An optimization study (see Table 1) led to the selection of reaction conditions and...
