Hantzsch iminium catalysis

Hypothesizing that primary amine catalysts, due to their reduced steric requirements, might be suitable for the activation of ketones, we studied various salts of a-amino acid esters. (For pioneering use of primary amine salts in asymmetric iminium catalysis involving aldehyde substrates, see Ishihara and Nakano 2005 Sakakura et al. 2006 for the use of preformed imines of a, 3-unsaturated aldehydes and amino acid esters in diastereoselective Michael additions, see Hashimot et al. 1977.) We have developed a new class of catalytic salts, in which both the cation and the anion are chiral. In particular, valine ester phosphate salt 35 proved to be an active catalyst for the transfer hydrogenation of a variety of a, 3-unsaturated ketones 36 with commercially available Hantzsch ester 11 to give saturated ketones 37 in excellent enantiose-lectivities (Scheme 28 Martin and List 2006). [Pg.33]

Selected recent developments in the area of asymmetric organocatalysis in our laboratory have been briefly summarized. Enamine catalysis, Brpnsted acid catalysis, and iminium catalysis turn out to be powerful new strategies for organic synthesis. Using Hantzsch ester as the hydride source, highly enantioselective transfer hydrogenantion reactions have been developed. We have also developed an additional new con-... [Pg.34]

The use of iminium-catalysis to facilitate highly asymmetric transfer hydrogenations has already been covered in some detail previously (Sect. 3.2.1) (203-205, 210) and the interested reader is referred to the original literature cited therein. Besides iminium activation in combination with Hantzsch dihydropyridines as hydride donors, the use of chiral phosphoric acids in... [Pg.135]

In 2001, we reasoned that this catalysis strategy might be applicable to the conjugate reduction of a, 3-unsaturated carbonyl compounds if a suitable hydride donor could be identified (Scheme 18). Hantzsch ester 11 seemed to be particularly promising since its reaction with preformed a, 3-unsaturated iminium ions had already been established (Makino et al. 1977 Baba et al. 1980). [Pg.25]

Based on previous studies where the imines were reduced with Hantzsch dihydropyridines in the presence of achiral Lewis [43] or Brpnsted acid catalysts, [44] joined to the capacity of phosphoric acids to activate imines (for reviews about chiral phosphoric acid catalysis, see [45-58]), the authors proposed a reasonable catalytic cycle to explain the course of the reaction (Scheme 3) [41]. A first protonation of the ketimine with the chiral Brpnsted acid catalyst would initiate the cycle. The resulting chiral iminium ion pair A would react with the Hantzsch ester lb giving an enantiomerically enriched amine product and the protonated pyridine salt B (Scheme 3). The catalyst is finally recovered and the byproduct 11 is obtained in the last step. Later, other research groups also supported this mechanism (for mechanistic studies of this reaction, see [59-61]). [Pg.116]

Asymmetric hydride reduction using Hantzsch ester has recently been extensively explored in organocatalysis using iminium-based catalysts or Brpnsted acid catalysts [72a-c], As an advance to their asymmetric conterion-directed catalysis (ACDC), List and coworkers found that the combination of simple primary amino acids such as L-valine with a chiral phosphoric acid led to an effective primary aminocatalyst for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of a,P-unsaturated ketones (Scheme 5.43) [72d]. The catalysis could be applied to a range of substrates with good yields and excellent enantioselectivity. [Pg.172]
