We report that phosphorane can activate (salen)TiCl complex to achieve unprecedented excellent enantioselectivity and a broad substrate scope in the cyanation of nitroolefins. Our cyanating reagent Me(CHCl)SiCN proves to be more active than TMSCN in this reaction, allowing 11 β-aliphatic nitrolefins and 12 β-CF nitroolefins (either β-aryl or aliphatic) to work well to give the corresponding tertiary or quaternary β-nitronitriles with high to excellent enantioselectivity.
我们报道,磷叶立德可以活化(水杨醛)钛络合物,从而在硝基烯烃的氰化反应中实现前所未有的优异对映选择性和广泛的底物范围。我们的氰化试剂Me(CHCl)SiCN在该反应中被证明比TMSCN更具活性,使得11种β-脂肪族硝基烯烃和12种β-CF硝基烯烃(β-芳基或脂肪族)都能顺利反应,以高至优异的对映选择性得到相应的叔或季β-硝基腈。
