Asymmetric cycloadditions of o-quinone methides employing chiral ammonium fluoride precatalysts.
The catalytic, enantioselective, [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of ortho-quinone methides with silyl ketene acetals is described. This mechanistically interesting reaction, initiated by a chiral cinchona alkaloid-derived ammonium fluoride "precatalyst" complex, affords a variety of alkyl- and aryl-substituted 3,4-dihydrocoumarin products in excellent yield and with good enantioselectivity.
متن کاملAsymmetric Synthesis of 2,3‐Dihydrobenzofurans by a [4+1] Annulation Between Ammonium Ylides and In Situ Generated o‐Quinone Methides
A highly enantio- and diastereoselective [4+1] annulation between in situ generated ammonium ylides and o-quinone methides for the synthesis of a variety of 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans has been developed. The key factors controlling the reactivity and stereoselectivity were systematically investigated by experimental and computational means and the energy profiles obtained provide a deeper insight i...
متن کاملEnantioselective Spirocyclopropanation of para-Quinone Methides Using Ammonium Ylides
The use of Cinchona alkaloid-based chiral ammonium ylides allows for the first highly enantioselective and broadly applicable spirocyclopropanation reactions of para-quinone methides. This strategy provides a straightforward protocol toward the chiral spiro[2.5]octa-4,7-dien-6-one skeleton, which is a frequently found structural motif in important biologically active molecules.
متن کاملThe Emergence of Quinone Methides in Asymmetric Organocatalysis.
Quinone methides (QMs) are highly reactive compounds that have been defined as "elusive" intermediates, or even as a "synthetic enigma" in organic chemistry. Indeed, there were just a handful of examples of their utilization in catalytic asymmetric settings until some years ago. This review collects organocatalytic asymmetric reactions that employ QMs as substrates and intermediates, from the e...
متن کاملFormal (4 + 1)-Addition of Allenoates to o-Quinone Methides
The first (4 + 1)-annulation of o-quinone methides with α-branched allenoates as C1 synthons has been developed. This operationally simple protocol gives access to highly functionalized dihydrobenzofurans in an unprecedented fashion with excellent diastereoselectivities and high yields.
