Chiral Phosphoric Acid Catalyzed Enantioselective Transfer Hydrogenation of ortho‐Hydroxybenzophenone NH Ketimines and Applications

Abstract: A second‐generation synthesis of the rearranged spongian diterpene aplyviolene is reported. The key step is the addition of a trialkyl tertiary radical generated by photoredox‐mediated fragmentation of a N‐(acyloxy)phthalimide to an α‐chloropentenone (see scheme). This process fashioned a quaternary stereocenter while combining two units of significant complexity.

“…Wang et al carried out the enantioselective synthesis of amine 10.4.b by reducing benzhydrylimine with a Hantzsch ester (Scheme ). The yield of 86% and ee of 93% were achieved. Product 10.4.b could be transformed to levocetirizine in a few synthetic steps.…”

“…The diastereoselective nucleophilic additions to imines have been applied to the asymmetric synthesis of the chiral amines [45,46]. However, to our knowledge there have been only a few reports on the enantioselective synthesis of -substituted o-hydroxybenzylamines [47,48]. In this paper, we report a catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of 3-substituted benzisoxazoles to yield chiral -substituted o-hydroxybenzylamines.…”

“…We hypothesized that the introduction of an ortho hydroxy group in the substrate would not only accelerate the imine formation process by activating the carbonyl group but also stabilize the labile imine intermediate through intramolecular hydrogen bonding . Meanwhile, intramolecular hydrogen bonding or Lewis acid coordination of the generated imine intermediate will make the imine exist exclusively as the E isomer and thus supply a more rigid steric environment that benefits the enantioinduction process (Scheme ) . To our delight, the ortho ‐hydroxy‐substituted substrate 5 a reacted smoothly and delivered the primary amine 6 a in 85 % yield and 98 % ee .…”
