An enantioselective borane-mediated reduction of a variety of 2-haloketones with 10% spiroaminoborate ester 1 as catalyst is described. By a simple basic workup of 2-halohydrins, optically active epoxides are obtained in high yield and with excellent enantiopurity (up to 99% ee). Ring-opening of oxiranes with phenoxides or sodium azide is investigated under different reaction conditions affording nonracemic 1,2-hydroxy ethers and 1,2-azido alcohols with excellent enantioselectivity (99% ee) and in good to high chemical yield.
本文描述了一种对映选择性硼烷介导的多种 2-卤代酮还原反应,使用 10%的螺环氨基硼酸酯 1 作为催化剂。通过简单的碱性后处理,得到了光学活性的环氧化合物,产率高,对映选择性极好(高达 99%ee)。在不同的反应条件下,研究了环氧化合物与苯氧基或叠氮化钠的开环反应,得到了非外消旋的 1,2-羟基醚和 1,2-叠氮醇,具有极好的对映选择性(99%ee)和良好到高的化学产率。
