RESUMO
Mild, convenient, and effective TBAI-catalyzed S-H and N-H insertion reactions of α-diazoesters with thiophenols and aromatic amines under metal-free conditions have been described, furnishing a straightforward and general platform for the synthesis of various thioethers and 2-amino-2-oxoacetates in moderate to excellent yields. Moreover, this strategy features simple operation, mild conditions, broad substrate scope, and easy scale-up.
RESUMO
A [3 + 2] 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of C,N-cyclic azomethine imines with allyl alkyl ketones has been achieved. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions and tolerates a wide range of functional groups. An array of tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives is generally constructed with good diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities (up to >25:1 dr, >95% ee). Moreover, the absolute configuration of the product was previously determined by using the quantum electronic circular dichroism calculation and ECD spectrum method.
