Intramolecular asymmetric allylic alkylation reactions of 5- and 7-hydroxyquinoline derivatives were realized by a chiral Ir/NHC catalyst. A series of functionalized cyclic enones were afforded in excellent yields (up to 99%) and high enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee). Theoretical computations revealed that the aromaticity of the two consecutive rings of hydroxyquinoline substrates is significantly weakened. A highly efficient formal synthesis of (-)-gephyrotoxin was accomplished based on this method.
手性铱/NHC 催化剂实现了 5-和 7-羟基喹啉衍生物的分子内不对称烯丙基烷基化反应。一系列功能化环状烯酮以优异的收率(高达 99%)和高对映选择性(高达 97%ee)得到。理论计算表明,羟基喹啉底物的两个稠合环的芳香性显著减弱。在此方法的基础上,高效地完成了(-)-gephyrotoxin 的形式合成。
