The first example of asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions between nitrile oxides and o-hydroxystyrenes, mediated by cinchona-alkaloid-based amine-ureas is reported. The method is based on a dual activation involving both LUMO and HOMO activations. In addition to the stoichiometric asymmetric induction, a catalytic amount of amine-urea enables the cycloadditions to proceed in an enantioselective manner. Computational studies strongly support the HOMO activation of o-hydroxystyrenes and LUMO activation of nitrile oxides by hydrogen-bonding interactions with the Brønsted acid/base bifunctional catalyst.
首次报道了手性金鸡纳生物碱衍生的酰胺-脲催化的腈氧化物与邻羟基苯乙烯的不对称 1,3-偶极环加成反应。该方法基于同时涉及 LUMO 和 HOMO 激活的双重活化。除了化学计量的不对称诱导外,催化量的酰胺-脲还能使环加成反应以对映选择性的方式进行。计算研究强烈支持 Brønsted 酸/碱双功能催化剂通过氢键相互作用对邻羟基苯乙烯的 HOMO 激活和腈氧化物的 LUMO 激活。
