ENANTIOSELECTIVE ACCESS TO 5-MEMBERED AND 6-MEMBERED NITROGEN-CONTAINING HETEROCYCLES, BASED ON THE ASYMMETRIC MICHAEL ADDITION OF CHIRAL IMINES AND CHIRAL ENAMINO ESTERS
J. Dangelo et al., ENANTIOSELECTIVE ACCESS TO 5-MEMBERED AND 6-MEMBERED NITROGEN-CONTAINING HETEROCYCLES, BASED ON THE ASYMMETRIC MICHAEL ADDITION OF CHIRAL IMINES AND CHIRAL ENAMINO ESTERS, Heterocycles, 47(2), 1998, pp. 725-746
The addition reaction of chiral imines, (ent-10, 48, 70) and chiral en
amino esters (52, 55, 73) with maleic anhydride (32), citraconic anhyd
ride (57), alpha-chloroacrylonitrile (29), and nitroethylene (74), has
been investigated. These condensations proved to be in general highly
regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective. In most cases the primary a
dducts underwent an in situ N-heterocyclization, allowing the enantios
elective access to nitrogen-containing, five- and six-membered heteroc
ycles.
