Role of quaternary ammonium salts as new additives in the enantioselective organocatalytic β-benzylation of enals.

چکیده
We report herein the efficiency of quaternary ammonium salts as co-catalysts in organocatalytic Michael reactions involving iminium activation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The enantioselective formal benzylation of these substrates has been optimized and used to rationalize the role of the ammonium salts in these processes.

Light‐Driven Enantioselective Organocatalytic β‐Benzylation of Enals
A photochemical organocatalytic strategy for the direct enantioselective β-benzylation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes is reported. The chemistry capitalizes upon the light-triggered enolization of 2-alkyl-benzophenones to afford hydroxy-o-quinodinomethanes. These fleeting intermediates are stereoselectively intercepted by chiral iminium ions, transiently formed upon condensation of a secondary am...

Trifluoromethylated organic compounds, especially chiral quaternary alcohols bearing trifluoromethyl group are of important intermediates in drugs, agrochemicals and etc.An efficient epoxidation of β-CF3-β,β-disubstituted unsaturated ketones (6) has been developed with environmental benign hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant and F5-substituted chiral qua...
متن کاملEnantioselective synthesis of benzoindolizidine derivatives using chiral phase-transfer catalytic intramolecular domino aza-Michael addition/alkylation.
An efficient and enantioselective strategy to synthesize benzoindolizidines from α,β-unsaturated amino ketones via domino intramolecular aza-Michael addition/alkylation was developed. These reactions were enabled by cinchona alkaloid-derived quaternary ammonium salts as the phase-transfer catalyst. A variety of benzoindolizidines were prepared in good yields (up to 93%) and enantioselectivities...
متن کاملCatalytic enantioselective fluorination of beta-keto esters by phase-transfer catalysis using chiral quaternary ammonium salts.
[reaction: see text] The catalytic enantioselective electrophilic fluorination promoted by quaternary ammonium salt from cinchonine as a phase-transfer catalyst is described. Treatment of beta-keto esters with N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide as the fluorine source under mild reaction conditions afforded the corresponding alpha-fluoro beta-keto esters in exellent yields with good to moderate enantiom...
متن کاملSynthesis of aryl alkyl ethers by alkylation of phenols with quaternary ammonium salts.
Phenolic compounds can be efficiently O-methylated with tetramethylammonium chloride in diglyme or polyethyleneglycol (PEG) at temperatures of 150-160 °C and in the presence of either K2CO3 or NaOH. When applying benzyltrimethylammonium chloride as a reagent, the benzylation and methylation of phenols occurs, with the benzylation product always predominating. With allyl-substituted phenols as s...
