α,β-Unsaturated esters are readily available but challenging substrates to activate in asymmetric catalysis. We now describe an efficient, general, and highly enantioselective Mukaiyama-Michael reaction of silyl ketene acetals with α,β-unsaturated methyl esters that is catalyzed by a silylium imidodiphosphorimidate (IDPi) Lewis acid.
α,β-不饱和酯是容易获得的,但在不对称催化中难以激活的底物。我们现在描述了一种高效、通用且高度对映选择性的硅基烯酮缩醛与α,β-不饱和甲酯的 Mukaiyama-Michael 反应,该反应由硅鎓亚胺二膦酰亚胺(IDPi)路易斯酸催化。
