A highly stereoselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of ,'-cyclic azomethine imines with aryl acetaldehydes enabled by a chiral N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst is accomplished, giving efficient access to a plethora of enantioenriched ,'-bicyclic pyrazolidinones featuring aromatic substituents at the C2 position. The current strategy can be directly conducted on a gram scale, and the product could be further reduced to bicyclic pyrazolidine without loss of enantiopurity.
在手性N-杂环卡宾催化剂的作用下,实现了α,β-环状偶氮甲碱亚胺与芳基乙醛的高立体选择性[3+2]环加成反应,从而能够高效地获得大量在C2位带有芳族取代基的对映体富集的α,β-双环吡唑烷酮。目前的策略可以直接在克级规模上进行,并且产物可以进一步还原为双环吡唑烷而不会损失对映体纯度。
