[reaction: see text] A diammonium salt of chiral 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine and trifluoromethanesulfonimide (Tf(2)NH) shows excellent catalytic activity and enantioselectivity for the Diels-Alder reaction of alpha-acyloxyacroleins with cyclic dienes. For example, in the presence of 5 mol % of the ammonium catalyst, the Diels-Alder reaction of alpha-(cyclohexanecarbonyloxy)acrolein with cyclopentadiene proceeded in EtCN at -75 degrees C to give the adducts in 88% yield with 92% exo and 91% ee. This catalyst can be easily prepared in situ by mixing the commercially available chiral diamine and Tf(2)NH.
[反应:见正文] 手性1,1'-联萘-2,2'-二胺的二铵盐与三氟甲磺酸亚胺(Tf(2)NH)对α-酰氧基丙烯醛与环状二烯的狄尔斯-阿尔德反应显示出优异的催化活性和对映选择性。例如,在5 mol%的铵催化剂存在下,α-(环己烷羰基氧基)丙烯醛与环戊二烯的狄尔斯-阿尔德反应在乙腈中于-75℃进行,以88%的产率得到加合物,外型异构体比例为92%,对映体过量值为91%。该催化剂可通过将市售手性二胺与Tf(2)NH混合轻松原位制备。
