Chiral oxazaborolidinium ion-catalyzed asymmetric cyclopropanation of α- or α,β-substituted acroleins with α-alkyl-α-diazoesters has been developed. With this methodology, chiral functionalized cyclopropanes containing a quaternary stereogenic center were obtained with high to excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee). The synthetic utility of optically enriched functionalized cyclopropane was demonstrated in the first total synthesis of (+)-hamavellone B, which establishes the absolute configuration of natural (+)-hamavellone B.
手性恶唑硼烷离子催化的 α-或 α,β-取代丙烯醛与 α-烷基-α-重氮酯的不对称环丙烷化反应已经被开发出来。使用这种方法,可以高对映选择性(高达 >99%ee)得到含有季立体中心的手性官能化环丙烷。在 (+)-hamavellone B 的首次全合成中,展示了光学纯官能化环丙烷的合成实用性,该全合成确定了天然 (+)-hamavellone B 的绝对构型。
