A Catalyst-Enabled Diastereodivergent Aza-Diels-Alder Reaction: Complementarity of N-Heterocyclic Carbenes and Chiral Amines
Highly efficient and diastereodivergent aza‐Diels–Alder reactions have been developed to access either diastereomeric series of benzofuran‐fused δ‐lactams and dihydropyridines in nearly perfect stereoselectivity (d.r. >20:1, >99 % ee for all examples). The complementarity of N‐heterocyclic car...

Summary: | Highly efficient and diastereodivergent aza‐Diels–Alder reactions have been developed to access either diastereomeric series of benzofuran‐fused δ‐lactams and dihydropyridines in nearly perfect stereoselectivity (d.r. >20:1, >99 % ee for all examples). The complementarity of N‐heterocyclic carbene and chiral amine as the catalyst was demonstrated for the first time, together with an excellent level of catalytic efficiency (1 mol % loading).
The complementarity of a N‐heterocyclic carbene or chiral amine as the catalyst for aza‐Diels–Alder reactions was demonstrated. The highly efficient and diastereodivergent synthesis of benzofuran‐fused δ‐lactams and dihydropyridines was achieved in nearly perfect stereoselectivity (d.r. >20:1, >99 % ee for all examples). |
