A new C(2)-symmetric chiral catalyst 3,5-bis[(2S)-(hydroxy-diphenylmethyl)- pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole was successfully synthesized by the reaction of 2,5-dichloromethyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole with (S)-alpha,alpha-diphenyl-2-pyrrolidinemethanol, and applied to the catalytic asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones with borane. When the catalyst loading was 1 mol %, enantiomeric excesses of up to 86.8% and 94.5% were observed in reduction of aromatic and alpha-halo ketones, respectively.
通过2,5-二氯甲基-1,3,4-恶二唑与(S)-α,α-二苯基-2-吡咯烷甲醇反应,成功合成了一种新型的C(2)-对称手性催化剂3,5-双[(2S)-(羟基-二苯基甲基)-吡咯烷-1-基甲基]-1,3,4-恶二唑,并将其应用于硼烷催化前手性酮的不对称还原反应。当催化剂负载量为1 mol%时,在芳香族酮和α-卤代酮的还原反应中分别观察到高达86.8%和94.5%的对映体过量。
