Enantioselective, organocatalytic Morita-Baylis-Hillman and Aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions: stereochemical issues.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conscious of the importance that stereochemical issues may have on the design of efficient organocatalyts for both Morita-Baylis-Hillman and aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction we have analyzed them in this minireview. The so-called standard reactions involve "naked" enolates which therefore should lead to the syn adducts as the major products, irrespective of the E, Z stereochemistry of the enolate. Accordingly, provided the second step is rate determining step, the design of successful bifunctional or polyfunctional catalysts has to consider the geometrical requirements imposed by the transition structures of the second step of these reactions. On the other hand, MBH and aza-MBH reactions co-catalyzed by (S)-proline and a secondary or tertiary amine (co-catalyst) involve the aldol-type condensation of either a 3-amino-substituted enamine, dienamine, or both, depending on the cases. A Zimmerman-Traxler mechanism defines the stereochemical issues regarding these co-catalyzed condensations which parallel those of the well established (S)-proline catalyzed aldol-like reactions.

Enantioselective aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions of acrylonitrile catalyzed by palladium(II) pincer complexes having C2-symmetric chiral bis(imidazoline) ligands.
Significance: This paper describes the palladiumcatalyzed enantioselective aza-Morita–Baylis–Hillman reaction of acrylonitriles with imines. The bulky pincer ligand enabled the synthesis of enantioenriched α-methylene-β-aminonitriles in high yield. Comment: The palladium–pincer complex preferably activates acrylonitrile, even in the presence of ethyl acrylate. The palladium ketenimide is a key ...

This review describes our recent efforts in the development of acid-base organocatalysts, (S)-3-(N-isopropyl-N-3-pyridinylaminomethyl) BINOL (6a) and (S)-3-[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl] BINOL (13a), with dual activation mechanism for the aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman (aza-MBH) reaction. In these catalysts, chiral Brønsted acid units are connected with a Lewis base unit via a spacer. The acid-base m...
متن کاملApplication of 7-azaisatins in enantioselective Morita–Baylis–Hillman reaction
7-Azaisatin and 7-azaoxindole skeletons are valuable building blocks in diverse biologically active substances. Here 7-azaisatins turned out to be more efficient electrophiles than the analogous isatins in the enantioselective Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reactions with maleimides using a bifunctional tertiary amine, β-isocupreidine (β-ICD), as the catalyst. This route allows a convenient approa...
