We report a full account of our work towards the development of Mo-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation reactions with 3-alkyloxindoles as nucleophiles. The reaction is complementary to the Pd-catalyzed reaction with regard to the scope of oxindole nucleophiles. A number of 3-alkyloxindoles were alkylated successfully under mild conditions to give products with excellent yields and good-to-excellent enantioselectivities. Applications of this method to the preparation of indoline alkaloids such as (-)-physostigmine, ent-(-)-debromoflustramine B, and the indolinoquinoline rings of communesin B are reported.
我们报告了我们在开发 Mo 催化的不对称烯丙基烷基化反应方面的工作的完整情况,其中 3-烷氧基吲哚啉作为亲核试剂。该反应与 Pd 催化的反应在吲哚啉亲核试剂的范围上是互补的。在温和条件下,许多 3-烷氧基吲哚啉成功地进行了烷基化反应,得到了产率优异、对映选择性好至优异的产物。该方法在制备吲哚生物碱(如 (-)-physostigmine、ent-(-)-debromoflustramine B 和 communesin B 的吲哚啉环)中的应用也有报道。
