Enantioselective Synthesis of 4‐Isoxazolines by 1,3‐Dipolar Cycloadditions of Nitrones to Alkynals Catalyzed by Fluorodiphenylmethylpyrrolidines

Abstract: The first organocatalytic enantioselective 1,3‐dipolar reaction between nitrones and alkynals catalyzed by (S)‐2‐(fluorodiphenylmethyl)pyrrolidine to give 4‐isoxazolines (2,3‐dihydroisoxazoles) with high enantiomeric excess, excellent yields and low catalyst loading (1–5 mol%) is presented. The catalytic loading could be reduced to 1 mol% with only slight increases in reaction times.

“…On the basis of our experimental results and previous literature,12a–d we have proposed a plausible mechanism to account for the observed stereoselectivity of the reaction in Scheme . Initially, the highly reactive iminium intermediate 5 , generated from the diphenyl prolinol O ‐trimethylsilyl ( O ‐TMS) ether catalyst I and phenylpropionaldehyde ( 2 a ), undergoes nucleophilic attack from the nitrogen of methyl 2‐(tosylamino)phenyl α,β‐unsaturated ketone 1 l to generate the ketene intermediate 6 .…”

“…A similar organocatalytic analogue of this reaction was published independently by Alemán, Fraile et al . In this case, ( S )‐2‐fluorodiphenylmethylpyrrolidine was found to be the best catalyst among the tested chiral secondary amines.…”

“…10 In this sense, Alem an, Fraile and co-workers described a 1,3-dipolar reaction between nitrones 19 and alkynals 9 catalyzed by (S)-2-(fluorodiphenylmethyl)pyrrolidine (10b) to give 4-isoxazolines (2,3-dihydroisoxazoles) 20 with high ee's, excellent yields, and low catalyst loading (1e5 mol %) (Scheme 8). 11 The catalytic loading could be reduced to 1 mol % with only a slight increase in the reaction time. The reaction allowed the incorporation of different substituents at R 1 and R 2 , but the reaction with alkyl derivatives at these positions did not work.…”
