The synthesis and characterization of a new chiral rhodium N-heterocyclic carbene complex, Rh(IBiox(-)-menthyl(2)Cl, is reported. In addition, the very high enantioselectivity exhibited by this complex, as a catalyst for the asymmetric hydroarylation of azabicycles, is demonstrated and applied to the synthesis of epibatidine.
报告了一种新型手性铑 N-杂环卡宾配合物 Rh(IBiox(-)-menthyl(2)Cl 的合成与表征。此外,还证明了该配合物作为催化剂在氮杂环化合物的不对称氢芳基化反应中表现出的极高对映选择性,并将其应用于埃派他丁的合成。
