The enantioselective [3 + 1]-cycloaddition of racemic donor-acceptor (D-A) aziridines with isocyanides was first realized under mild reaction conditions using a chiral ,-dioxide/Mg complex as catalyst, providing a facile route to enantioenriched -imido azetidines with good to excellent yield (up to 99%) and enantioselectivity (up to 94% ee). An obvious chiral amplification effect was observed in this system, and an explanation was elucidated based on the experimental investigation and X-ray crystal structure of the enantiomerically pure catalyst.
在温和的反应条件下,首次以手性双氧化物/Mg络合物为催化剂,实现了外消旋供体-受体(D-A)氮丙啶与异腈的对映选择性[3 + 1]环加成反应,为对映体富集的β-亚氨基氮杂环丁烷提供了一条简便的合成路线,产率良好至优异(高达99%),对映选择性高达94% ee。在该体系中观察到明显的手性放大效应,并基于对映体纯催化剂的实验研究和X射线晶体结构给出了解释。
