The search for an easily-prepared sparteine surrogate

(?)-Sparteine has proven itself to be a highly efficient and versatile ligand. However, in recent years it has become difficult to source. In addition the (+)-enantiomer is also not readily available. Here we report a suite of chiral diamines as potential sparteine surrogates. Chiral trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane is commercially available in both enantiomeric forms and the parent structure can be easily modified. New (and known) chiral diamines have been tested in the asymmetric silylation of N-Boc pyrrolidine, N-Boc piperidine, the α-alkylation of dimethylhydrazones and in the rearrangement of meso-epoxides. While none match the selectivity of the highly evolved natural product, there is certainly potential for this class of diamine ligands to perform in a diverse set of asymmetric transformations.

Highly Regioselective Monoalkylation of Ketones via Manganese Enolates Prepared from Manganese Amides.

Ketones are regioselectively converted to Mn-enolates by treatment with Mn-amides such as Ph(Me)NMnCl in THF at 20 deg C.Mn-enolates can then be regioselectively monoalkylated in good yields.The formation of di or polyalkylated products is never observed ( 1percent).

Highly Regioselective Monoalkylation of Ketones via Manganese Enolates. Prepared from Lithium Enolates

Li-enolates are readily converted to Mn-enolates by treatment with manganese halides.In THF, the reaction is easily and economically performed with manganese chloride at room temperature.Mn-enolates can then be regioselectively monoalkylated in good yields.The formation of di and polyalkylated products is never observed (1percent).
