The combination of Et2Zn and RhCl(PPh3)3 led to the facile generation of a rhodium-hydride complex (Rh-H) that catalyzed the 1,4-reduction of α,β-unsaturated esters. The resulting rhodium enolate performed as a Reformatsky-type reagent and reacted with various imines to give syn-β-lactams in good to excellent yields with high diastereoselectivity.
二乙基锌(Et2Zn)和三(三苯基膦)氯化铑(RhCl(PPh3)3)的组合能够轻松生成一种铑氢配合物(Rh-H),该配合物可催化α,β-不饱和酯的1,4-还原反应。生成的铑烯醇盐作为一种类Reformatsky试剂,与各种亚胺反应,以良好至优异的产率和高非对映选择性得到顺式-β-内酰胺。
