A general asymmetric synthesis of inherently chiral calix[4]arenes is described: using a chiral oxazoline derived from L-valine, an ortholithiation strategy is employed to give inherently chiral calix[4]arenes with high (93%) enantiomeric excesses. A crystal structure of a phosphine oxide intermediate has been obtained, unambiguously assigning the major diastereomer in the reaction; a mechanism explaining this result is proposed.
本文描述了一种固有手性杯[4]芳烃的通用不对称合成方法:使用由L-缬氨酸衍生的手性恶唑啉,采用邻位锂化策略,得到对映体过量值高(93%)的固有手性杯[4]芳烃。已获得氧化膦中间体的晶体结构,明确确定了反应中的主要非对映异构体;并提出了解释该结果的机理。
