A titanium(III)-catalysed intermolecular reductive coupling of ketones or imines with nitriles is described, which gives direct access to α-hydroxylated and α-aminated ketones. This coupling reaction is cross-selective and a catalytic version of the classical acyloin condensation. A reaction mechanism that is supported by first DFT calculations is discussed.
本文描述了一种钛(III)催化的酮或亚胺与腈的分子间还原偶联反应,该反应可直接生成α-羟基化和α-氨基化酮。这种偶联反应具有交叉选择性,是经典的偶姻缩合反应的催化版本。本文还讨论了一种由首次密度泛函理论(DFT)计算支持的反应机理。
