A palladium(II)-catalyzed enantioselective α-alkylation of azlactones with nonconjugated alkenes is described. The reaction employs a chiral BINOL-derived phosphoric acid as the source of stereoinduction, and a cleavable bidentate directing group appended to the alkene to control the regioselectivity and stabilize the nucleopalladated alkylpalladium(II) intermediate in the catalytic cycle. A wide range of azlactones were found to be compatible under the optimal reaction conditions to afford products bearing α,α-disubstituted α-amino-acid derivatives with high yields and high enantioselectivity.
描述了钯(II)催化的非共轭烯烃与氮杂环丁酮的对映选择性α-烷基化反应。该反应采用手性 BINOL 衍生的磷酸作为立体诱导的来源,以及与烯烃连接的可裂解双齿导向基团,以控制区域选择性并稳定催化循环中的亲核钯化烷基钯(II)中间体。在最佳反应条件下,发现各种氮杂环丁酮都具有兼容性,可高收率和高对映选择性地得到带有α,α-二取代α-氨基酸衍生物的产物。
