A cinchona alkaloid-derived urea was found to be an efficient organocatalyst for catalyzing enantioselective conjugate addition between thiols and various alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones to provide optically active sulfides with high chemical yields (up to >99%) and enantiomeric excess (up to >99% ee). The reaction was performed with 0.1 mol % of catalyst in toluene at room temperature. A transition state model has been proposed to explain the stereochemical outcome of the reaction.
一种金鸡纳生物碱衍生的脲被发现是一种高效的有机催化剂,可用于催化硫醇与各种α,β-不饱和酮之间的对映选择性共轭加成反应,以高化学收率(高达>99%)和对映体过量(高达>99%ee)提供光学活性的硫化物。该反应在室温下以甲苯为溶剂,使用 0.1 mol%的催化剂进行。提出了一个过渡态模型来解释反应的立体化学结果。
