The efficient asymmetric synthesis of highly substituted succinimides from α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and α-ketoamides via NHC-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition has been developed. The new scalable protocol significantly expands the utility of NHC catalysis for the synthesis of heterocycles and provides easy access to assemble a wide range of succinimides from simple starting materials.
通过 NHC 催化的[3+2]环加成反应,从α,β-不饱和醛和α-酮酰胺高效不对称合成了高度取代的琥珀酰亚胺。该新的可扩展方案显著扩展了 NHC 催化在杂环合成中的应用,并为从简单原料组装广泛的琥珀酰亚胺提供了简便方法。
