An efficient asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles with N, N'-cyclic azomethine imines catalyzed by a chiral-at-metal rhodium complex is reported. The corresponding N, N'-bicyclic pyrazolidine derivatives with three contiguous tertiary stereocenters were obtained in good yields (up to 99%) with excellent stereoselectivities (>20:1 dr and >99% ee). Remarkably, as little as 0.5 mol % of a chiral Rh(III) complex can promote a gram-scale reaction with excellent yield and enantioselectivity.
报道了一种由手性金属铑配合物催化的α,β-不饱和 2-酰基咪唑与 N, N'-环亚甲胺亚胺的高效不对称 1,3-偶极环加成反应。相应的 N, N'-双环吡唑烷衍生物具有三个连续的三级立体中心,收率高(高达 99%),立体选择性好(>20:1 dr 和 >99%ee)。值得注意的是,只需 0.5 mol%的手性 Rh(III)配合物即可促进克级反应,产率和对映选择性优异。
