Highly enantioselective, intermolecular hydroamination of allenyl esters catalyzed by bifunctional phosphinothioureas.


ABSTRACT: Bifunctional phosphinothiourea catalysts have been developed successfully for the highly regio- and enantioselective ?-hydroamination of allenyl and propargyl esters with N-methoxy carbamate nucleophiles to yield ?,?-unsaturated ?-amino acid ester products. In the case of propargyl ester substrates, the reaction proceeds through reversible phosphinothiourea-catalyzed isomerization to the corresponding allenyl ester. The high enantioselectivity of the process is attributed to a cooperative conjugate addition of a thiourea-bound carbamate anion to a vinyl phosphonium ion resulting from covalent activation of the allenyl ester substrate.

Bifunctional phosphinothiourea catalysts have been developed successfully for the highly regio- and enantioselective γ-hydroamination of allenyl and propargyl esters with N-methoxy carbamate nucleophiles to yield α,β-unsaturated γ-amino acid ester products. In the case of propargyl ester substrates, the reaction proceeds through reversible phosphinothiourea-catalyzed isomerization to the corresponding allenyl ester. The high enantioselectivity of the process is attributed to a cooperative conjug  ...[more]
