An enantioselective isomerization of 4-iminocrotonates catalyzed by a rhodium(I)/phosphoramidite complex is described. This reaction uses widely available amines to couple with 4-oxocrotonate to provide a convenient access to a central chiral building block in good yield and high enantioselectivity. Although the mechanism of this new transformation remains unclear, both Rh and the phosphoramidite play a central role.
描述了一种由铑(I)/亚磷酰胺配合物催化的4-亚氨基巴豆酸酯的对映选择性异构化反应。该反应使用广泛可得的胺与4-氧代巴豆酸酯偶联,以高收率和高对映选择性方便地获得一个中心手性结构单元。尽管这种新转化的机理尚不清楚,但铑和亚磷酰胺都起着核心作用。
