- Scalable and Highly Diastereo- and Enantioselective Catalytic Diels-Alder Reaction of α,β-Unsaturated Methyl Esters
-
Despite tremendous advances in enantioselective catalysis of the Diels-Alder reaction, the use of simple α,β-unsaturated esters, one of the most abundant and useful class of dienophiles, is still severely limited in scope due to their low reactivity. We report here a catalytic asymmetric Diels-Alder methodology for a large variety of α,β-unsaturated methyl esters and different dienes based on extremely reactive silylium imidodiphosphorimidate (IDPi) Lewis acids. Mechanistic insights from accurate domain-based local pair natural orbital coupled-cluster (DLPNO-CCSD(T)) calculations rationalize the catalyst control and stereochemical outcome.

-
Starting from D-(+)-galactose, the crystalline spirooxazolidin-2-one 2 can be readily prepared in an optically pure state by a nitrene-mediated four-step sequence, and serves to control both aldol and Diels-Alder reactions with high chiral efficiency, being easy to remove after use.

-
Attempted chiral aziridination of styrene by addition of optically-active alkoxycarbonylnitrene 5 derived from [(1S)-endo]-(-)-bornyl p-nitrobenzenesulphonoxycarboxy 4 is reported. No measurable asymmetric induction is observed under the various conditions employed, but in the absence of alkene, a tricyclic oxazolidin-2-one 8 is formed to which preparatively simpler access can be gained by thermal decomposition of azidoformate 7, either in 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (50%) or by spray pyrolysis (58%). The oxazolidin-2-one 8 is demonstrated to be a successful chiral auxiliary by contemporary standards in a variety of asymmetric transformations, including alkylation, acylation, and aldol reactions for which high levels of asymmetric induction are observed. Diethylaluminium chloride catalysed Diels-Alder reactions exhibit poorer selectivity except for the cinnamoyl derivative 23 which is stereospecific.
