Abstract
A highly diastereo- and enantioselective dearomative Diels-Alder reaction was accomplished by chiral N,N'-dioxide/Mg(II) complex catalyst. Various anthracene derivatives and methyleneindolinones efficiently transformed into the corresponding chiral spiro-bridged cyclic products with four consecutive stereocenters in good yields, excellent dr and er values under mild conditions (46 examples, up to 99% yield, >19:1 dr, >99:1 er). Gram-scale synthesis of chiral products and their further transformations were feasible. On the basis of theoretical calculation, possible working modes were provided to understand the origin of stereoselectivity of this transformation.
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.
