Chemoselectivity issues of the asymmetric interaction between cyclohexanone, β-nitrostyrene, and benzoic acid under 5-aryl prolinate's organocatalysis.
    Chirality, 2020, Volume: 32, Issue:6

    4-l-menthyloxycarbonyl 5-aryl prolinates were studied as organocatalysts of a novel three-component reaction of cyclohexanone, benzoic acid, and β-nitrostyrene. The presence of ortho-halogen atom in 5-aryl fragment of the catalyst is favored for driving the formation of chiral 7a-hydroxyoctahydro-2H-indol-2-one scaffold. 5-(o-Chlorophenyl) prolinate selectively afforded 3-phenyl-7a-hydroxyoctahydro-2H-indol-2-one with ee 63%, whereas 5-phenyl prolinate led to conjugation of β-nitrostyrene to cyclohexanone (the Michael adduct). Plausible chlorine effect is accounted for the specific interaction of the 5-aryl prolinate enamine intermediate with β-nitrostyrene in the transition state.

Chiral picolylamines for Michael and aldol reactions: probing substrate boundaries.
    Organic & biomolecular chemistry, 2012, Dec-14, Volume: 10, Issue:46

    Here we report on inroads concerning increased substrate breadth via the picolylamine organocatalyst template, a vicinal chiral diamine based on a pyridine-primary amine motif. The addition of cyclohexanone to β-nitrostyrene has many catalyst solutions, but cyclopentanone and isobutyraldehyde additions continue to be challenging. PicAm-3 (10 mol%) readily allows the Michael addition of cyclopentanone or isobutyraldehyde (5.0 equiv.) to β-nitrostyrene derivatives. By contrast, PicAm-1 (7.0 mol%) is optimal for catalyzing the aldol reaction of cyclohexanone or cycloheptanone (3.3 equiv.) with aromatic aldehydes. Eighteen products are reported and for each reaction type new products are reported (4b-d, 9c). Very good yields and stereoselectivities are generally noted. The reactions, which require an acid additive, proceed via a transient chiral enamine and a mechanistic case is put forth for a bifunctional catalysis model.
