Catalytic Asymmetric Peroxidation of α,β-Unsaturated Nitroalkenes by a Bifunctional Organic Catalyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new enantioselective peroxidation of α,β-unsaturated nitroalkenes was realized with an easily accessible acid-base bifunctional organic catalyst derived from cinchona alkaloids. This reaction provides unprecedented easy access to optically active chiral peroxides, as illustrated by the asymmetric synthesis of β-peroxy nitro compounds.

Catalytic MBH reaction of β-substituted nitroalkenes with azodicarboxylates.
An unprecedented N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction of β-substituted nitroalkenes and azodicarboxylates has been developed. Both β-aryl and β-alkyl nitroalkenes worked well for the reaction using 5 mol% of NHC catalyst, giving the desired α-hydrazino-α,β-unsaturated nitroalkenes in good to excellent yields.
متن کاملAsymmetric catalytic cycloetherification mediated by bifunctional organocatalysts.
Oxacyclic structures such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) rings are commonly found in many bioactive compounds, and this has led to several efforts toward their stereoselective syntheses. However, the process of catalytic asymmetric cycloetherification for their straightforward synthesis has remained a challenge. In this study, we demonstrate a novel asymmetric synthesis method for THF via the catalyt...
متن کاملNovel thiourea-amine bifunctional catalysts for asymmetric conjugate addition of ketones/aldehydes to nitroalkenes: rational structural combination for high catalytic efficiency.
A series of thiourea-amine bifunctional catalysts have been developed by a rational combination of prolines with cinchona alkaloids, which are connected by a thiourea motif. The catalyst 3a, prepared from L-proline and cinchonidine, was found to be a highly efficient catalyst for the conjugate addition of ketones/aldehydes to a wide range of nitroalkenes (up to 98/2 dr and 96% ee). The privileg...
متن کاملAsymmetric borylation of α,β-unsaturated esters catalyzed by novel ring expanded N-heterocyclic carbenes based on chiral 3,4-dihydro-quinazolinium compounds.
A series of chiral 6-membered ring N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors based on 3,4-dihydro-quinazoline were synthesized with overall yields of 54-62%. NHCs generated from these precursors show excellent asymmetric catalytic properties for borylation of α,β-unsaturated esters with enantioselectivity of up to 93% with a catalyst content of only 1 mol%.
متن کاملOrganocatalytic and enantioselective Michael reaction between α-nitroesters and nitroalkenes. Syn/anti-selectivity control using catalysts with the same absolute backbone chirality
The asymmetric and catalytic Michael reaction between α-nitroesters and nitroalkenes has been studied in the presence of two bifunctional catalysts both containing the same absolute chirality at the carbon backbone. The reaction performed in similar conditions allows us to control the syn or anti selectivity of the Michael adduct obtaining good yields and high enantiocontrol in all cases.
