An easily available N,N'-dioxide/Cu(I) complex has been developed for the catalytic asymmetric nitroaldol (Henry) reaction of aldehydes with nitroethane. Under mild reaction conditions, a series of substituted aromatic, heteroaromatic and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes are transformed to the corresponding anti-β-nitroalcohols in good to excellent yields (up to 99%) with moderate to good dr (up to 16.7:1 anti/syn) and high ee values (up to 97%). Besides nitroethane, nitromethane and 1-nitropropane were also employed as nucleophiles, and good enantioselectivities were obtained.
一种易于获得的N,N'-二氧化物/Cu(I)配合物已被开发用于醛与硝基乙烷的催化不对称硝基羟醛(亨利)反应。在温和的反应条件下,一系列取代的芳香醛、杂芳香醛和α,β-不饱和醛以良好至优异的产率(高达99%)转化为相应的反-β-硝基醇,具有中等至良好的非对映选择性(高达16.7:1反/顺)和高对映体过量值(高达97%)。除了硝基乙烷,硝基甲烷和1-硝基丙烷也被用作亲核试剂,并获得了良好的对映选择性。
