Highly enantioselective organocatalytic α-amination reactions of aryl oxindoles: developing designer multifunctional alkaloid catalysts.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An enantioselective α-amination of aryl oxindoles catalyzed by a dimeric quinidine has been developed. The reaction is general, broad in substrate scope, and affords the desired products in good yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities. This study provides the first examples of a general organocatalytic method for the creation of nitrogen-containing, tetrasubstituted chiral centers at C(3) of various aryl oxindoles. Furthermore, new catalysts and insights into structural elements of the catalysts that significantly influence enantioselectivities are disclosed.

Asymmetric α-amination of 3-substituted oxindoles using chiral bifunctional phosphine catalysts
A highly enantioselective α-amination of 3-substituted oxindoles with azodicarboxylates catalyzed by amino acids-derived chiral phosphine catalysts is reported. The corresponding products containing a tetrasubstituted carbon center attached to a nitrogen atom at the C-3 position of the oxindole were obtained in high yields and with up to 98% ee.
متن کاملDimeric quinidine-catalyzed enantioselective aminooxygenation of oxindoles: an organocatalytic approach to 3-hydroxyoxindole derivatives.
3-Hydroxyoxindoles are common structural motifs found in a vast array of natural and biologically active molecules. Most catalytic methods for the asymmetric syntheses of these compounds require the use of transition-metal catalysts. In contrast, alternative catalytic procedures involving organocatalysis are scarce. Herein we disclose a novel aminooxygenation of oxindoles with nitrosobenzene ca...

An organocatalytic conjugate addition of prochiral 3-fluorinated oxindoles to vinyl sulfones was described for the first time. In the presence of bifunctional tertiary amine-thiourea catalysts, 3-fluoro-3-substituted oxindole adducts were obtained in excellent yields and with high enantiomeric excesses.
متن کاملEnantioselective organocatalytic α-fluorination of cyclic ketones.
The first highly enantioselective α-fluorination of ketones using organocatalysis has been accomplished. The long-standing problem of enantioselective ketone α-fluorination via enamine activation has been overcome via high-throughput evaluation of a new library of amine catalysts. The optimal system, a primary amine functionalized Cinchona alkaloid, allows the direct and asymmetric α-fluorinati...
