Combination of gold catalysis and Selectfluor for the synthesis of fluorinated nitrogen heterocycles
We herein report the synthesis of 3-fluoro-2-methylene-pyrrolidine (3a) and -piperidine (3b) from 1,5- and 1,6-aminoalkynes, respectively, using a combination of a gold-catalyzed hydroamination reaction followed by electrophilic trapping of an intermediate cyclic enamine by Selectfluor. Careful attention was paid to the elucidation of the mechanism and Selectfluor was suggested to play the doub...
متن کاملEnamine-based organocatalysis with proline and diamines: the development of direct catalytic asymmetric Aldol, Mannich, Michael, and Diels-alder reactions.
Enamines and imines have long been recognized as key intermediates in enzyme catalysis, particularly within a class of enzymes organic chemists would very much like to emulate, the aldolases. Here we summarize the contributions of this laboratory to converting enzymatic enamines, and in some cases imines, into a versatile catalytic asymmetric strategy powered by small organic molecules.
متن کاملBrønsted acid catalyzed α-alkylation of aldehydes with diaryl methyl alcohols.
The catalytic a-alkylation of carbonyl compounds is a common approach in organic synthesis. In recent years, many efforts have been directed towards the activation of ketones and aldehydes by means of enamine catalysis to react with a broad range of electrophiles. In 2004, List reported an elegant intramolecular alkylation of aldehydes with alkyl halides using proline-based amine catalysts. Whi...
متن کاملDirect observation of an enamine intermediate in amine catalysis.
An enamine intermediate is believed to be the central feature of biological catalysts, such as aldolases and small molecule amine organocatalysts. Despite decades of investigation of naturally occurring aldolase enzymes and recent studies on designed aldolase antibodies and organocatalysts, direct structural observation of an enamine intermediate has proven to be rare. Herein, we report the obs...
متن کاملAsymmetric Fluorination of α-Branched Cyclohexanones Enabled by a Combination of Chiral Anion Phase-Transfer Catalysis and Enamine Catalysis using Protected Amino Acids
We report a study involving the successful merger of two separate chiral catalytic cycles: a chiral anion phase-transfer catalysis cycle to activate Selectfluor and an enamine activation cycle, using a protected amino acid as organocatalyst. We have demonstrated the viability of this approach with the direct asymmetric fluorination of α-substituted cyclohexanones to generate quaternary fluorine...
