Abstract

Bisphosphine-catalyzed mixed double-Michael reactions have been developed to afford β-amino carbonyl derivatives of oxazolidines, thiozolidines, and pyrrolidines in excellent yields and with high diastereoselectivities. Efficient reactions between amino-acid-derived pronucleophiles, such as β-amino alcohols, β-amino thiols, and γ-amino diesters, as Michael donors and electron-deficient acetylenes, such as propiolates, acetylacetylene, and tosylacetylene, as Michael acceptors provided access to azolidines containing both diversity of substituents and asymmetry. This methodology
the first examples of mixed double-Michael reactions of acetylenes
is operationally simple and involves mild conditions. Mechanistically, it constitutes a rare example of the anchimeric assistance of bisphosphines in organocatalysis.

Goddard, III, Hongchao Guo, and Ohyun KwonJournal of the American Chemical Society2011 Article ASAPIn this paper we describe the phosphine-catalyzed [3 + 2], [3 + 3], [4 + 3], and [3 + 2 + 3] annulations of azomethine imines and allenoates. These processes mark the first use of azomethine imines in nucleophilic phosphine catalysis, producing dinitrogen-...
