In this paper is described a synthesis of enantiomerically enriched, configurationally stable organozinc reagents by catalytic enantioselective carbozincation of a vinylboronic ester. This process furnishes enantiomerically enriched α-borylzinc intermediates that are shown to undergo stereospecific reactions, producing enantioenriched secondary boronic ester products. The properties of the intermediate α-borylzinc reagent are probed and the synthetic utility of the products is demonstrated by application to the synthesis of (-)-aphanorphine and (-)-enterolactone.
本文描述了通过催化对映选择性碳锌化反应合成对映体富集、构型稳定的有机锌试剂。该过程提供了对映体富集的α-硼代锌中间体,这些中间体被证明可以进行立体特异性反应,生成对映体富集的次级硼酸酯产物。该方法还对中间α-硼代锌试剂的性质进行了探究,并通过应用于(-)-阿朴啡和(-)-肠内酯的合成来证明产物的合成实用性。
