The stereoselective alkylation of alpha,beta-unsaturated imines via C-H activation followed by imine hydrolysis produces tri- and tetrasubstituted alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes. In the presence of a rhodium catalyst, alpha,beta-unsaturated N-benzyl imines derived from methacrolein, crotonaldehyde, and tiglic aldehyde undergo directed C-H activation at the beta-position and react with terminal alkenes and alkynes to form the tri- and tetrasubstituted alpha,beta-unsaturated imines with very high stereoselectivity. Hydrolysis to provide alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes can be performed under carefully controlled conditions that maintain the stereochemistry of the beta-alkylated imine products. Alternatively, for beta-alkylation products of the N-benzyl imine of methacrolein, hydrolysis can be performed under conditions that provide complete isomerization to the E isomer.
通过C-H活化然后进行亚胺水解实现α,β-不饱和亚胺的立体选择性烷基化反应可生成三取代和四取代的α,β-不饱和醛。在铑催化剂存在下,源自异丁烯醛、巴豆醛和惕各醛的α,β-不饱和N-苄基亚胺在β位发生定向C-H活化,并与末端烯烃和炔烃反应,以非常高的立体选择性形成三取代和四取代的α,β-不饱和亚胺。在精心控制的条件下进行水解以提供α,β-不饱和醛,这些条件能保持β-烷基化亚胺产物的立体化学。或者,对于异丁烯醛的N-苄基亚胺的β-烷基化产物,水解可在能使产物完全异构化为E异构体的条件下进行。
