First Enantioselective Catalyst for the Rearrangement of Allylic Imidates to Allylic Amides

Abstract: A series of Pd(II) complexes containing chiral diamine ligands were investigated as asymmetric catalysts for the rearrangement of allylic imidates to allyl amides. The best catalysts were cations obtained by dechlorination of dichloro[(S)-2-(isoindolinylmethyl)-N-methylpyrrolidine]palladium(II) (17) with silver salts in CH2Cl2. Catalyst 18 was studied thoroughly and shown by 1H NMR and X-ray crystallography analysis to be a C 1 symmetric dimer (Figure ). A series of related catalysts 22−27 having various count… Show more

“…In addition, acetyl at 1-N and two benzyl groups at C-4 and C-5 lower the electronic density of complex 1f on the imidazoline ring. Complex 1f gave noticeably higher yields of the desired products compared with catalysts 1a and 1g (entries 6 in Tables 2 and 3), which is consistent with the observation reported from Overman et al [8] Therefore, the results imply that the electronic properties of substituents in the imidazoline moiety are important factors in the catalytic properties of palladacycle dimers and strong electron-withdrawing substituents are favored for the aza-Claisen rearrangement reaction. On the other hand, the solubility of catalyst may also play a crucial role.…”

“…[89] This class of ligands has been utilized in other applications, such as in the asymmetric Mukaiyama-aldol reaction [90] and in the asymmetric rearrangement of allylic imidates to form allylic amides. [91] Recently, the catalyst was immobilized on a polymer support and used for the kinetic resolution of racemic mixtures of secondary alcohols. [92] Small peptide catalysts that contain modified histidine residues are efficient catalysts in enantioselective acylation reactions.…”
