Asymmetric mercuriocyclization of gamma-hydroxy-(Z)-alkenes has been achieved using Hg(II) complexed with tartrate-derived 4-(2-naphthyl)bisoxazoline as chiral ligand to give rise to 2-monosubstituted tetrahydrofurans in 86-95% ee. Not only the linker connecting two oxazolines but also their 4-substituents were found crucial for high enantioselectivity. In addition, tuning the ketal protecting group of tartrate as well as adding MeOH and K(2)CO(3) worked beneficially.
使用与酒石酸衍生的4-(2-萘基)双恶唑啉络合的Hg(II)作为手性配体,实现了γ-羟基-(Z)-烯烃的不对称汞环化反应,得到对映体过量率为86-95%的2-单取代四氢呋喃。发现连接两个恶唑啉的连接基及其4-取代基对高对映选择性至关重要。此外,调节酒石酸的缩酮保护基以及加入甲醇和碳酸钾有有益效果。
