Abstract
2,2'-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (binap) and phosphoramidites are privileged chiral ligands that have been tested in the coinage-metal-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of metalloazomethine ylides and electrophilic alkenes. Silver(I), copper(II), and gold(I) salts have been evaluated in all of these reactions. Maleimides, acrylates, fumarates, 1,2-bis(phenylsulfonyl)ethylene, and enones reacted with imino esters to give the corresponding endo-prolinates, such as hepatitis C (HCV) inhibitors, in high diastereo- and enantioselectivity using either binap-silver and -gold(I) or phosphoramidite-silver complexes. In the case of nitroalkenes, exo-4-nitroprolinates were obtained using silver or copper(II) phosphoramidite complexes. Azlactones reacted with maleimides and acrylates to give pyrrolines only in the presence of binap-gold(I) complexes. The observed enantioselectivity and mechanism of these 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions were studied for the most relevant examples by means of DFT calculations.
