Bromotriphenylphosphonium salt promoted tandem one-pot cyclization to optically active 2-Aryl-1,3-oxazolines

Optically active 2-aryl-1,3-oxazolines, such as aromatic carbocycles, heterocycle-binding 4-benzyl (or phenyl)-1,3oxazolines and their 5-benzyl (or phenyl)-l,3-oxazoline isomers were successfully prepared through a bromotriphenylphosphonium salt promoted aziridine ring formation and ring opening sequential process involving tandem one pot cyclization of chiral 2-amino-3-phenylpropanol or 2amino-2-phenylethanol with various aromatic acids in toluene at 90 °C in moderate to excellent yields. The mechanism of this tandem process was also substantiated experimentally.

Synthesis of modular thiophene-oxazoline ligands and their application in the asymmetric phenyl transfer reaction to aldehydes

A series of thiophene mono (oxazoline) N,O-ligands with three sites of diversity were synthesized concisely in two steps from the corresponding thiophene carbonitriles. These ligands were applied to the enantioselective phenyl transfer reaction of aldehydes, resulting in the corresponding chiral diaryl methanol products with excellent yields and moderate to good enantioselectivities.
