posted on 2015-04-08, 00:00 authored by Lei Zhang, Honglei Liu, Guanyu Qiao, Zhanfeng Hou, Yang Liu, Yumei Xiao, Hongchao GuoThe first phosphine-catalyzed highly
enantioselective [3 + 3] cycloaddition
of Morita–Baylis–Hillman carbonates with C,N-cyclic
azomethine imines is described. Using a spirocyclic chiral phosphine
as the catalyst, a novel class of pharmaceutically interesting 4,6,7,11b-tetrahydro-1H-pyridazino[6,1-a]iso-quinoline
derivatives were obtained in high yields with good to excellent diastereoselectivities
and extremely excellent enantioselectivities (98–>99% ee).
