posted on 2015-06-19, 00:00 authored by Linqing Wang, Dongxu Yang, Dan Li, Rui Wang3-Isothiocyanato oxindoles have been
successfully applied to an
asymmetric formal [3 + 3] cycloaddition reaction with aziridines for
the first time. The reaction was efficiently mediated by an in situ
generated magnesium catalyst employing (R)-3,3′-fluorous-BINOL
as a simple chiral ligand. Serials of polycyclic frameworks could
be obtained after a ring-closing step. The enantioenriched ring-opening
product was also utilized to modified amino acids, peptides, and bifunctional
organocatalyst.
