Abstract
The first enantioselective Michael addition of malonates to acyclic β,β-disubstituted enones has been developed. Sterically hindered β-trifluoromethyl α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl thiazoles and benzothiazoles were found to be the most reactive groups of enones in the reaction catalyzed by bifunctional tertiary amine–thioureas (2–5 mol %). However, application of hyperbaric conditions (8–10 kbar) was required. The adducts containing quaternary stereogenic centers with a CF3 group were obtained in high yields (vs <1% at 1 bar) with enantiomeric excesses up to 95%.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
