Alkaloid-Catalyzed Enantioselective [3 + 2] Cycloaddition of Ketenes and Azomethine Imines
2016
A new asymmetric synthesis of bicyclic pyrazolidinones through an alkaloid-catalyzed formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition of in situ generated ketenes and azomethine imines is described. The products were formed in good to excellent yields (52–99% for 17 examples), with good to excellent diastereoselectivity (dr 5:1 to 27:1 for 11 examples), and with excellent enantioselectivity in all cases (≥96% ee). This method represents the first unambiguous example of an enantioselective reaction between ketenes and a 1,3-dipole.
