A t-BuOCu-initiated reaction sequence of styrene borometalation and intramolecular imine addition has been achieved using a Cu(OTf)/dppf combination as catalyst. The product of this reaction cascade is a useful 2,3-disubstituted indoline bearing a versatile boryl moiety and is formed with sole cis-selectivity. To account for the observation of the exclusive formation of cis-stereoisomers, a transition state featuring copper-imine coordination is suggested. The application to the synthesis of antioxidant tetrahydroindenoindoles is described.
使用 Cu(OTf)/dppf 作为催化剂,实现了苯乙烯硼金属化和分子内亚胺加成的 t-BuOCu 引发的反应序列。该反应级联的产物是一种有用的 2,3-二取代吲哚,带有多功能硼基部分,并且具有单一的顺式选择性。为了解释观察到的顺式立体异构体的唯一形成,提出了具有铜-亚胺配位的过渡态。描述了该方法在抗氧化剂四氢茚并吲哚合成中的应用。
