Asymmetric intramolecular crossed-benzoin reactions by N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis

(Chemical Equation Presented) Getting cross: Excellent asymmetric inductions and very good yields are achieved in the generation of a quaternary stereocenter in α-hydroxy-substituted tetralones by using chiral N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts in an enantioselective intramolecular crossed-benzoin reaction. The synthesis of the corresponding α-hydroxyindanones with good ee values is also possible by this route.

ASYMMETRIC MICHAEL ADDITION OF CHIRAL IMINES TO PHENYLVINYLSULFONE: PREPARATION OF KEY CHIRAL BUILDING BLOCKS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF ASPIDOSPERMA AND HUNTERIA ALKALOIDS

Addition of chiral imine 8 to phenylvinylsulfone 9 led, after hydrolytic work-up to adduct 11 (91percent stereoselectivity).This derivative has been converted into target cyclopentanones 14 and 16.
