Bifunctional chiral tridentate bis(pyrroloimidazolone)pyridine (PyBPI) ligands have been designed, synthesized, and applied in an asymmetric Michael addition. With a 0.05 mol % PyBPI-Co(II) complex, β,γ-unsaturated α-keto esters reacted with 4-hydroxycoumarin to give the adducts in 93-99% yields and 90-97% ee. Experiments and DFT calculations supported the dual activation manner, in which the tridentate ligand coordinated with Co(II) to activate the keto ester, and the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups in PyBPI interacted with 4-hydroxycoumarin via two different H bonds.
双功能手性三齿双(吡咯并[2,3-b] 吡唑啉)吡啶(PyBPI)配体已被设计、合成,并应用于不对称迈克尔加成反应中。使用 0.05 mol% 的 PyBPI-Co(II) 配合物,β,γ-不饱和α-酮酯与 4-羟基香豆素反应,以 93-99%的产率和 90-97%的对映选择性得到加成产物。实验和密度泛函理论(DFT)计算支持了双重活化方式,其中三齿配体与 Co(II)配位以活化酮酯,而 PyBPI 中的羟基和羰基通过两个不同的氢键与 4-羟基香豆素相互作用。
