Enantioselective Gold-Catalyzed Pictet–Spengler Reaction

Abstract: Cationic chiral Au­(I) complexes catalyze asymmetric Pictet–Spengler reactions between tryptamines and arylaldehydes. The resulting tetrahydro-β-carbolines are obtained with wide functional group tolerance in high yield and with high enantioselectivities (up to 95%). Aldehydes bearing polar or protic functions are well tolerated. The reaction features a hitherto unknown C2-auration of the indole as the key step, supported by density functional theory calculations.

“…Recently, in 2019, Guinchard and co‐workers [15] disclosed an enantioselective gold‐catalyzed Pictet‐Spengler reaction (Scheme 10). The Pictet‐Spengler reaction is an acid‐catalyzed condensation between β‐arylethylamines and aldehydes affording tetrahydroisoquinolines or tetrahydro‐β‐carbolines, through iminium intermediates.…”

“…Lastly, the model predicts that an enzymatic Pictet-Spengler reaction catalyzed by EC 4.2.1.x, can convert dopamine and the corresponding aldehyde to the alkaloid (S )-norlaudanosoline (5) enantioselectively, which typically requires the presence of organocatalysts or transition metals. [33][34][35] It is interesting to compare the routes suggested by our model with the ones from RetroBioCat. 18 In reaction ( 1) the starting substrate is styrene, which undergoes epoxidation in presence of an epoxidase, followed by epoxide opening, partial oxidation of the primary alcohol to aldehyde and transamination.…”
