Abstract
An asymmetric Mannich reaction between 2-aryl-3H-indol-3-ones and α-H diazoacetates catalyzed by chiral phosphoric acid was developed. This strategy achieves the effective synthesis of chiral 2,2-disubstituted indolin-3-ones bearing a quaternary stereocenter and containing a diazo group in the C2 substituent (up to >99% ee and 82% yield). To demonstrate the importance of the synthesized 2,2-disubstituted indolin-3-ones and the diversity of their diazo group reactions, we successfully achieved the relevant transformation reactions with a diazo group (such as hydroxylation, hydrogenation, intramolecular cyclization, etc.) in the C2 substituent.
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.
