A Lewis base catalyzed allylic hydroxylation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates has been developed. Various chiral MBH alcohols can be synthesized in high yields (up to 99%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 94% ee). This is the first report using water as a nucleophile in asymmetric organocatalysis. The nucleophilic role of water has been verified using (18)O-labeling experiments.
发展了一种路易斯碱催化的 Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) 碳酸酯的烯丙位羟化反应。各种手性 MBH 醇可以以高产率(高达 99%)和优异的对映选择性(高达 94%ee)合成。这是首次在不对称有机催化中使用水作为亲核试剂的报道。通过 (18)O 标记实验验证了水的亲核作用。
