- Single-Handed Helical Poly(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)s Bearing Achiral 4-Aminopyrid-3-yl Pendants as Highly Enantioselective, Reusable Chiral Nucleophilic Organocatalysts in the Steglich Reaction
-
Helically chiral poly(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)s bearing 4-aminopyrid-3-yl pendants were synthesized as new helical-polymer-based chiral nucleophilic organocatalysts. The obtained chiral nucleophilic polymer catalysts exhibited high catalytic activity, enantioselectivity, and reusability in asymmetric Steglich rearrangement of oxazolyl carbonate to C-carboxyazlactone. The polyquinoxaline-based, helically chiral DMAP catalyst mediated intramolecular acyl transfer selectively, by contrast with known small-molecule-based chiral organocatalysts, which also mediate intermolecular acyl transfers.

- Probing the efficiency of N-heterocyclic carbene promoted O- to C-carboxyl transfer of oxazolyl carbonates
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Screening of a range of azolium salts, bases and solvents for reactivity indicates that triazolinylidenes, generated in situ with KHMDS in THF, promote the Steglich rearrangement of oxazolyl carbonates with high catalytic efficiency (typical reaction time 5 min at 1.5 mol % NHC). This protocol shows wide substrate applicability, even allowing the efficient generation of vicinal quaternary centers. An improved experimental procedure is also described that allows a simplified one-pot reaction protocol to be employed with similarly high catalytic efficiency.
