Synthesis and evaluation of new guanidine-thiourea organocatalyst for the nitro-Michael reaction: Theoretical studies on mechanism and enantioselectivity
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new guanidine-thiourea organocatalyst has been developed and applied as bifunctional organocatalyst in the Michael addition reaction of diethyl malonate to trans-β-nitrostyrene. Extensive DFT calculations, including solvent effects and dispersion corrections, as well as ab initio calculations provide a plausible description of the reaction mechanism.

متن کامل3-Nitro, 1-Amino Guanidine and 5-Hydrazino-1H-Tetrazole Derivatives as New Energetic Materials
The synthesis of 3-amino-1-nitroguanidine (3-ANQ) and 5-hydrazino tetrazole (5-HT) derivatives as new energetic materials are described. Reaction of 3-ANQ with triethyl orthoformate leads to the formation of 3-nitramino triazole while no reaction was observed whit 5-HT. Addition of NaN3 to a mixture of 3-ANQ and triethyl orthoformate, afforded 1-nitroguanidyl tetrazole in excelle...
متن کاملBifunctional organocatalyst for methanolytic desymmetrization of cyclic anhydrides: increasing enantioselectivity by catalyst dilution.
Highly enantioselective methanolysis of meso-cyclic anhydride was achieved with bifunctional organocatalyst containing a quinine-thiourea moiety; unusual concentration, temperature and solvent effects on the enantioselectivity can be explained in terms of a mechanism involving monomer-dimer equilibration of the catalyst.
متن کاملPlanar chiral [2.2]paracyclophane-based bis(thiourea) catalyst: application to asymmetric Henry reaction.
A bis(thiourea) organocatalyst with a planar chiral [2.2]paracyclophane backbone has been synthesized and applied to the Henry reaction. The obtained high reactivity and enantioselectivity from the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with nitroalkanes suggested the significant potential of [2.2]paracyclophane to serve as the backbone of the organocatalyst.
متن کاملSequential enantiodivergent organocatalysis: reversibility in enantioswitching controlled by a conformationally flexible guanidine/bisthiourea organocatalyst.
Here we describe our studies on solvent-dependent enantiodivergent Mannich-type reactions utilizing conformationally flexible guanidine/bisthiourea organocatalyst (S,S)-1. Our mechanistic investigations revealed that the stereo-determining steps in both the (R)- and (S)-selective Mannich-type reactions are governed by the cooperative effect of guanidine and thiourea in the inherently monomeric ...
