Abstract
A catalytic asymmetric Mukaiyama-Michael reaction of silyl ketene acetals (SKAs) with α- or β-substituted α,β-unsaturated pyrazolamides was realized with N,N'-dioxide/nickel(II) complex catalysts. Bidentate coordination of the substrate to the catalyst and elongation of the ligand were beneficial for stereocontrol. In addition, adjustment of the substituents on substrates tuned the reactivity significantly. A wide range of chiral γ-butyrolactones with quaternary-tertiary stereocenters were obtained in moderate to excellent yields, good diastereomeric ratio, and excellent enantiomeric excess values.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
