Abstract
Visible‐light‐driven dual catalysis was employed to stereoselectively produce densely substituted cyclobutanes from Erlenmeyer‐Plöchl azlactones. The single‐step preparation of non‐natural amino acid dimers containing the cyclobutane moiety was achieved through a synergy between iridium photocatalysis and catalytic nickel(II) triflate as a Lewis acid. The desired 1,2‐(zeta)‐Z,E‐isomers were isolated in good yields and with high regio‐ and diastereoselectivity (in all cases, >19 : 1 d.r.). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of direct access to truxinic acid analogues using azlactones. Control experiments, EPR reaction monitoring, and DFT calculations suggest that the presence of a Lewis acid, combined with the use of powerful blue LEDs, plays a crucial role in the reactivity of this reaction.
期刊介绍:
Organic chemistry is the fundamental science that stands at the heart of chemistry, biology, and materials science. Research in these areas is vigorous and truly international, with three major regions making almost equal contributions: America, Europe and Asia. Asia now has its own top international organic chemistry journal—the Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry (AsianJOC)
The AsianJOC is designed to be a top-ranked international research journal and publishes primary research as well as critical secondary information from authors across the world. The journal covers organic chemistry in its entirety. Authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories.
