Popis: | A broad variety of chiral C/N-functionalized morpholine alcohols sharing a common structural motif in the 3-(hydroxymethyl)morpholine 6 were prepared from enantiomerically pure serine for the purpose of studying their catalytic ligand properties. The asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde in the presence of 10 mol % of chiral C/N-functionalized morpholine alcohols gave 1-phenyl-1-propanol in 59–81% yield with 10–30% ee. The addition of 10 mol % of n -butyl lithium to the reaction mixture resulted in a significant enhancement of the stereoselectivity in the case of ligands bearing the two geminal phenyl substituents on the backbone. In the presence of n -butyl lithium and using ( S )-3-(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)morpholine ( S )- 19 as the chiral promoter, ( S )-1-phenyl-1-propanol was obtained in 81% yield with 76% ee. The geminal diphenyl-class of morpholine ligands was examined for the diethylzinc addition to four different aldehydes in the presence of n -butyl lithium. ( S )- N -Benzyl-3-(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)morpholine ( S )- 27 was found to be most enantioselective in the case of 4-methoxybenzaldehyde to give ( R )-alcohol in 87% yield with 80% ee. Catalysts ( S )- 19 and its N -methyl derivative ( S )- 26 gave alcohols with an ( S )-absolute configuration while the N-benzylated derivative ( S )- 27 gave the opposite enantiomeric products. The tentative transition state models to account for the observed product stereoselectivity with morpholine ligands holding the geminal diphenyl group on the β-amino alcohol segment are proposed. |
