Catalytic asymmetric intermolecular stetter reaction of heterocyclic aldehydes with nitroalkenes: backbone fluorination improves selectivity.


ABSTRACT: The catalytic asymmetric intermolecular Stetter reaction of heterocyclic aldehydes and nitroalkenes has been developed. We have identified a strong stereoelectronic effect on catalyst structure when a fluorine substituent is placed in the backbone. X-ray structure analysis provides evidence that hyperconjugative effects are responsible for a change in conformation in the azolium precatalyst. This new N-heterocyclic carbene precursor bearing fluorine substitution in the backbone results in significantly improved enantioselectivities across a range of substrates.
