The catalytic, asymmetric syntheses of quinine and quinidine were achieved in 16 steps. The recently developed salen(Al)-catalyzed enantioselective Michael addition of methyl cyanoacetate served to set the crucial C4 stereocenter in 92% ee, and a late-stage asymmetric dihydroxylation was used to differentiate the common intermediate and access the two desired diastereomeric products with high selectivity.
奎宁和奎尼丁的催化不对称合成在16步反应中实现。最近开发的salen(Al)催化的氰基乙酸甲酯对映选择性迈克尔加成反应用于构建关键的C4立体中心,对映体过量率为92%,后期的不对称双羟基化反应用于区分共同中间体,并以高选择性得到两种所需的非对映体产物。
