Abstract
A stereoselective inverse electron demand oxo-Diels-Alder reaction involving electron poor dienes (γ-aryl-β,γ-unsaturated-α-keto ester) and electron rich dienophiles has been studied. These cycloaddition reactions are extremely useful for the construction of O-, N-, S-centered heterocyclic compounds, which are routinely used in both synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry. The [4+2] hetero cycloaddition reactions involving various aldehydes and β,γ-unsaturated-α-keto esters were carried out in which three different types of substituted proline catalysts were examined. For these reactions, high selectivities (enantiomeric excess 93–98%) were obtained using catalyst 3. Due to the bulkiness of catalyst 3, compared to the other catalysts tested, it is more efficient at catalyzing these type reactions.
期刊介绍:
Cessation. Tetrahedron: Asymmetry presents experimental or theoretical research results of outstanding significance and timeliness on asymmetry in organic, inorganic, organometallic and physical chemistry, as well as its application to related disciplines, especially bio-organic chemistry.
The journal publishes critical reviews, original research articles and preliminary communications dealing with all aspects of the chemical, physical and theoretical properties of non-racemic organic and inorganic materials and processes. Topics relevant to the journal include: the physico-chemical and biological properties of enantiomers; strategies and methodologies of asymmetric synthesis; resolution; chirality recognition and enhancement; analytical techniques for assessing enantiomeric purity and the unambiguous determination of absolute configuration; and molecular graphics and modelling methods for interpreting and predicting asymmetric phenomena. Papers describing the synthesis or properties of non-racemic molecules will be required to include a separate statement in the form of a Stereochemistry Abstract, for publication in the same issue, of the criteria used for the assignment of configuration and enantiomeric purity.
