- Highly stereoselective syntheses of proline-derived vicinal amino alcohols through grignard addition onto N-tosylprolinal
-
A highly diastereoselective Grignard addition to N-tosyl-l-prolinal has been developed to deliver a variety of proline-derived vicinal amino alcohols in good to excellent yields with high diastereoselectivities. A similar selectivity was also obtained by using N-tosyl-d-prolinal. The methodology has been applied to the synthesis of medicinally important 3-hydroxy-2-phenylpiperidines.

- Mass Spectrometric Screening of Racemic Amine Catalysts for Enantioselective Michael Additions
-
In extension of a concept of Lloyd-Jones, based on the combination of a racemic catalyst with a scalemic substrate, we have recently developed a method for determining the enantioselectivity of a chiral catalyst from its racemic form by mass spectrometric screening of a non-equal mixture of two mass-labeled quasi-enantiomeric substrates. After an initial proof of principle using palladium-catalyzed allylic substitution as test reaction, we report now the successful application of this approach to the screening of chiral amines as catalysts for the enantioselective Michael addition to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The results confirm that our method allows fast and reliable evaluation of chiral racemic catalysts. This opens up new possibilities for investigating catalyst structures that are not easily available in enantiomerically pure form.

- Fluorinated organocatalysts for the enantioselective epoxidation of enals: Molecular preorganisation by the fluorine-iminium ion Gauche effect
-
The fluorine-iminium ion gauche effect is triggered upon union of a secondary β-fluoroamine and an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde, providing a useful strategy for controlling the molecular topology of intermediates that are central to organocatalytic processes. The β-fluoroamine (S)-2-(fluorodiphenylmethyl)pyrrolidine (1) is an effective catalyst for the enantioselective epoxidation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. A process of structural editing has revealed that the efficiency of this catalyst is due to the (fluorodiphenyl)methyl group when it is embedded in a β-fluoroiminium motif. Epoxidations of challenging cyclic α,β-disubstituted, β,β-disubstituted and α,β,β-trisubstituted enals catalysed by 1 proceed with excellent levels of enantiocontrol (up to 98 % ee). Fluorine finesse. The β-fluoroamine (S)-2-(fluorodiphenylmethyl)pyrrolidine (1) is an effective catalyst for the enantioselective epoxidation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes (see scheme). Application of this catalyst to challenging cyclic α,β-disubstituted enals, β,β-disubstituted enals, and an α,β,β-trisubstituted enal proceeds in a highly enantioselective fashion (up to 98 % ee).

- N-Tritylprolinal: An Efficient Building Block for the Stereoselective Synthesis of Proline-Derived Amino Alcohols
-
N-Tritylprolinal (prepared in four steps from L-proline) shows a very high Felkin diastereoselectivity in its reaction with various nucleophiles, leading to a straightforward and highly stereoselective access to syn-proline-derived amino alcohols.

- Enantioselective synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted piperidines from (S)- methylpyroglutamate
-
N-methoxy-N-methylamide derived from (S)-methylpyroglutamate was prepared in good yield and allowed the addition of Grignard reagents. Erythro (2S)-1-benzyl-2-hydroxybenzyl pyrrolidine obtained by this way was converted into (2S,3R)-1-benzyl-3-hydroxy-2-phenylpiperidine and its chloro analog.

- Catalytic Asymmetric Induction. Highly Enantioselective Addition of Dialkylzincs to Aldehydes Using Chiral Pyrrolidinylmethanols and Their Metal Salts
-
A series of chiral pyrrolidinylmethanols were synthesized from (S)-proline.Optically active secondary alcohols (R and S enantiomers, respectively) in up to 100percent enantiomeric excess (ee) were obtained in high yields from the enantioselective addition of dialkylzincs to aldehydes catalyzed by 2-5 mol percent of chiral pyrrolidinylmethanols.The sense of the asymmetric induction and the degrees of enantioselectivities were highly dependent on the structure of the catalysts. (+)-DPMPM (3, tertiary amino tertiary alcohol) catalyzed the reaction of aryl, α,β-unsaturated, and aliphatic aldehydes to afford (S) alcohols in high ee's.When the lithium salt of 3 was employed as catalyst in the reactions of aryl and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, the ee's of (S) alcohols reached 100percent.On the other hand, (-)-erythro-PNPM (10, tertiary amino secondary alcohol) afforded (R) alcohols in high ee (100percent ee).The steric course of the reaction is discussed.

Optically active α-amino phenyl ketones in 92-94percent enantiomeric excess (e.e.) were obtained from the stereospecific arylation of (S)-proline or its derivatives by Friedel-Crafts reaction of by Grignard reaction.The subsequent complementary diastereoselective reductions of the α-amino ketone afforded respectively (S)- and (R)-α-benzyl alcohol in 93-100percent e.e. and in 100percent diastereoisomeric excess.The stereochemical course of the reduction of the α-amino ketone is discussed.
