Catalytic asymmetric umpolung reactions of imines

Abstract: Imines, carbon-nitrogen double bonds, are fundamentally important functional groups in organic chemistry. This is largely due to the fact that imines act as electrophiles in C–C bond forming reactions towards carbon nucleophiles, thereby serving one of the most widely used precursors for the formation of amines in both synthetic and biosynthetic settings.1–5 If the carbon atom of the imine could be rendered electron-rich, the imine could react as a nucleophile instead of as an electrophile. Such a reversal in … Show more

“…the asymmetric umpolung addition of trifluoromethyl ketimines to electrophiles has been documented so far. [6] Very recently, Deng and co-workers successfully applied this umpolung strategy to the synthesis of optically active trifluoromethyl amines, with a chiral tertiary stereocenter, from readily available trifluoromethyl ketimines (1) and enals by the employing a chiral phase-transfer catalyst (PTC; Scheme 1 b). Inspired by Dengs work and our continual interest in asymmetric phosphine catalysis, [7,8] we envisaged that the Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates 2, another very readily available and widely used compounds in organocatalytic reactions, [9] would generate the chiral quaternary phosphonium salts 3 in the presence of chiral phosphine catalyst (Scheme 1 c).…”

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10] In diesem Highlight werden einige der aktuellen Entwicklungen vorgestellt, die neue organokatalytische biomimetische Konzepte zur Reaktivitätsumpolung von Iminen behandeln und sowohl hohe (Enantio-)Selektivitäten als auch Ausbeuten liefern. [6][7][8]10] Doch bevor näher auf diese Berichte eingegangen wird, ist es notwendig, einen kurzen Blick auf eine der detailliert untersuchten Biosyntheserouten für chirale a-Aminosäuren 3 zu werfen. [11] Die Natur hat Tr ansaminierungsstrategien entwickelt, um Aminosäuren 3 aus einfachen a-Ketoestern 4 zu synthetisieren.…”

“…Schon bald nach diesem Durchbruch erweiterten die Gruppen von Shi [7] und Deng [8] [10] Die Verwendung von Azaallylanionen als Nukleophile für außergewçhnliche C-C-Bindungsknüpfungen wurde bereits in den ersten Berichten über Imin-/Amin-Umpolungsstrategien beschrieben. [4] Tr otzdem wurden erst kürzlich die ersten katalytischen und hoch selektiven asymmetrischen Verfahren verçffentlicht.…”
