Process for production of amines

Page/Page column 58-62, (2008/06/13)
A process for producing an amine which is characterized by reacting an imine with a nucleophilic compound (except a trialkylsilyl vinyl ether) in the presence of a phosphoric acid derivative represented by the formula (1): wherein A1 represents a spacer; X1 and X2 represent each independently a divalent nonmetal atom or a divalent nonmetal atomic group; and Y1 is oxygen or sulfur. The invention provides a process by which amines (particularly optically active amines) useful as intermediates of medicines, agricultural chemicals, or the like can be produced without special post-treatment in high yield at high optical purity; and phosphoric acid derivatives (particularly optically active phosphoric acid derivatives) useful in the production of the amines.

A highly enantioselective 1,2-aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction of N-tert-butyldimethylsilylindole with N-tert-butoxycarbonyl aromatic imines is demonstrated using a BINOL-derived monophosphoric acid catalyst. The present approach provides efficient access to 3-indolylmethaneamines with aryl substituents in excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). An inversion in the sense of enantioselection was found between monophosphoric acid catalysts bearing different substituents introduced at the 3,3′-position of binaphthyl backbone. We also calculated the three-dimensional structure of the monophosphoric acid catalysts to speculate on the inversion of the stereochemical outcome.
