The first examples of Lewis base catalyzed enantioselective boryl conjugate additions (BCAs) that generate products containing boron-substituted quaternary carbon stereogenic centers are disclosed. Reactions are performed in the presence of 1.0-5.0 mol% of a readily accessible chiral accessible N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) and commercially available bis(pinacolato)diboron; cyclic or linear α,β-unsaturated ketones can be used and rigorous exclusion of air or moisture is not necessary. The desired products are obtained in 63-95% yield and 91:9 to >99:1 enantiomeric ratio (e.r.). The special utility of the NHC-catalyzed approach is demonstrated in the context of an enantioselective synthesis of natural product antifungal (-)-crassinervic acid.
首次公开了路易斯碱催化的对映选择性硼基共轭加成(BCA)的实例,该反应生成含有硼取代季碳立体中心的产物。反应在1.0 - 5.0 mol%易于获得的手性可及氮杂环卡宾(NHC)和市售双(频哪醇)二硼存在下进行;环状或线性α,β-不饱和酮均可使用,无需严格排除空气或水分。所需产物的收率为63 - 95%,对映体比例(e.r.)为91:9至>99:1。在天然产物抗真菌剂(-)-厚叶石蒜碱的对映选择性合成中展示了NHC催化方法的特殊效用。
