カルボニル化合物の高エナンチオ選択的不斉反応を目的とする不斉配位子の設計と合成

抄録

Several chiral ligands were designed and synthesized which perform highly enantioselective asymmetric reactions of carbonyl compounds. Enantioselective reduction of ketones with lithium borohydride modified with N, N'-dibenzoylcystine (or N-benzoylcystein) and tent-butyl alcohol (or ethanol) provided optically active sec.-alcohols in up to 9293% e.e. Functionalized ketones such as α-, β- haloketones, α- and β-aminoketones, pyridyl ketones, and fl-ketoesters were also reduced enantioselectively to afford opticall active epoxides, oxetanes, aminoalcohols, pyridyl alcohols, and β-hydroxyesters in high e.e.'s. Chiral pyrrolidinylmethanols, N, N-dibutylnorephedrine (DBNE), chiral piperazine, and polymer bound N-alkylnorephedrine were efficient chiral catalysts of the enantioselective addition of dialkyl zincs to aldehydes. Alkylation of both aliphatic and aryl aldehydes afforded optically active sec-alcohols in high e.e.'s. Formylesters afforded optically active lactones. Enantioselective conjugate addition of dialkyl zincs to enones was catalyzed by chiral complex prepared from DBNE and Ni (acac) ₂ or NiBr₂.
