A New Chiral Organosulfur Catalyst for Highly Stereoselective Synthesis of Epoxides

Abstract: A new chrial organosulfide was synthesized through an unexpected Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement. This organosulfide could catalyze the epoxidation reaction of various aromatic aldehydes smoothly with benzyl bromide to give trans-diaryl epoxides in satisfactory yields (60-84%) with excellent diastereoselectivities (trans:cis = 95:5-100:0) and good to excellent enantioselectivities (86-96% ee).

“…This presumably arose via initial attack on the benzyne 8 by the tertiary amine in 50 followed by proton transfer, now intramolecularly from the alcohol hydroxyl group, to give the zwitterion 51 . Collapse of this β-oxido ammonium ion through C–N bond cleavage led to the trans-substituted [ J vic-epox = 1.8 Hz 34 ], S,S -epoxide 52 . Likewise, quinine gave the analogous R,R -epoxide 53 (45%, Fig.…”

“…[2] At the same time, asymmetric processes (including direct sulfide catalyzed asymmetric reactions and indirect sulfide catalyzed asymmetric reactions) which involved sulfur ylides for the cascade reactions is another research topic of importance [3,4,2d] . To the best of our knowledge, whether the direct sulfide‐catalyzed asymmetric reactions or indirect sulfide‐catalyzed asymmetric reactions, the asymmetric [2+1] annulations, such as aldehyde epoxidations [3a–g,4a−g] and aldimine aziridinations, [3i–j] have been well established. However, only a few types of indirect sulfide‐catalyzed asymmetric [4+1] annulations to construct five‐membered cyclic compounds have been successfully developed in the past years [2d–f,4i−p] .…”

“…Ursprünglich als Corey-Chaykovsky-Reaktion entwickelt, haben Entwicklungen auf diesem Gebiet den Zugang zu einer großen Auswahl von disubstituierten Epoxiden ermçglicht. [104] Es wurde nachgewiesen, dass C 2 -symmetrische Sulfidkatalysatoren die asymmetrische Epoxidierung fçrdern kçnnen. Deshalb fasst dieser Aufsatz wichtige Aspekte katalytischer Verfahren vor dem letzten Übersichtsartikel von 2007 zusammen und konzentriert sich auf Gebiete, auf denen seitdem Fortschritte erzielt wurden.…”

“…[ wurde gefunden, dass der von Campher abgeleitete Sulfidkatalysator 127 sowohl bei aromatischen als auch bei aliphatischen Aldehyden gut wirkt (Bedingungen C). [104] Es wurde nachgewiesen, dass C 2 -symmetrische Sulfidkatalysatoren die asymmetrische Epoxidierung fçrdern kçnnen. So wurde festgestellt, dass die Katalysatoren 128 a und 128 b bei einer Reihe von aromatischen und heteroaromatischen Aldehyden sowie bei Zimtaldehyd wirken (Schema 41, Bedingungen D).…”
