キラルα－アミノアルデヒドの触媒的Baylis-Hillman反応

抄録

β-Isocupreidine (β-ICD)-catalyzed Baylis-Hillman reaction of chiral N-Boc-α-amino aldehydes and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl acrylate (HFIPA) takes place without racemization and exhibits the match-mismatch relationship between the substrate and the catalyst. In the case of acyclic amino aldehydes, L-substrates show excellent syn selectivity and high reactivity in contrast to D-substrates. On the other hand, in the case of cyclic amino aldehydes, D-substrates rather than L-substrates show excellent anti selectivity and high reactivity. A mechanistic proposal governed by hydrogen bonding is presented. The synthetic utility of this methodology is demonstrated by the synthesis of the highly functionalized pyrrolidones.
