Organo-Cation Catalyzed Asymmetric Homo/Heterodialkylation of Bisoxindoles: Construction of Vicinal All-Carbon Quaternary Stereocenters and Total Synthesis of (−)-Chimonanthidine
2018
A novel chiral spirocyclic amide (SPA)-derived triazolium organocatalyst has been designed and demonstrated to effect asymmetric homo- and heterodialkylations of various bisoxindoles, enabling enantioselective construction of vicinal all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. These reactions feature excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities (up to 99% ee and >20:1 dr) as well as good to high yields (up to 89% over two steps). As an application of this methodology, the first asymmetric total synthesis of (−)-chimonanthidine has been achieved.
