The first catalytic enantioselective aromatic Claisen rearrangement of allyl 2-naphthyl ethers using 5-10 mol% of π-copper(ii) complexes is reported. A Cu(OTf) complex with an l-α-homoalanine amide ligand gave ()-products in up to 92% ee. Conversely, a Cu(OSOCF) complex with an l--leucine amide ligand gave ()-products in up to 76% ee. Density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations suggest that these Claisen rearrangements proceed stepwise tight-ion-pair intermediates, and that ()- and ()-products are enantioselectively obtained the staggered transition states for the cleavage of the C-O bond, which is the rate-determining step.
报道了使用5-10摩尔%的π-铜(II)配合物对烯丙基2-萘基醚进行的首例催化对映选择性芳香克莱森重排反应。一种带有L-α-高丙氨酸酰胺配体的Cu(OTf)配合物能以高达92%的对映体过量得到()-产物。相反,一种带有L-亮氨酸酰胺配体的Cu(OSOCF)配合物能以高达76%的对映体过量得到()-产物。密度泛函理论(DFT)计算表明,这些克莱森重排反应通过紧密离子对中间体逐步进行,并且()-和()-产物是通过C-O键断裂的交错过渡态对映选择性地得到的,而C-O键断裂是速率决定步骤。
