Application

Chiral cyclopropenimines are a highly effective new class of enantioselective Brønsted base catalysts - the so-called “superbases” for enantioselective organocatalysis. Due to the prevalence of chemical reactions involving proton transfer as a key mechanistic event, Brønsted bases have become indispensable tools for the practice of organic synthetic chemistry, capable of catalyzing proton transfer reactions enantioselectively for the production of optically enriched products. Catalyst is stored as co-salt for stability. Conversion of the HCl salt to free catalyst requires a simple wash with aqueous base. This is one of a suite of Brønsted catalysts reported by Tristan Lambert and coworkers available through Sigma-Aldrich.

Experimental (13)C kinetic isotope effects have been used to interrogate the rate-limiting step of the Michael addition of glycinate imines to benzyl acrylate catalyzed by a chiral 2,3-bis(dicyclohexylamino) cyclopropenimine catalyst. The reaction is found to proceed via rate-limiting carbon-carbon bond

Cyclopropenimine 1 is shown to catalyze Mannich reactions between glycine imines and N-Boc-aldimines with high levels of enantio- and diastereocontrol. The reactivity of 1 is shown to be substantially greater than that of a widely used thiourea cinchona alkaloid-derived catalyst.

We recently demonstrated that chiral cyclopropenimines are viable Brønsted base catalysts in enantioselective Michael and Mannich reactions. Herein, we describe a series of structure-activity relationship studies that provide an enhanced understanding of the effectiveness of certain cyclopropenimines as enantioselective Brønsted

Conjugated cyclic trienes have the potential for different types of cycloaddition reactions. In the present work, we will, in a novel asymmetric cycloaddition reaction, demonstrate that the organocatalytic reaction of 2-acyl cycloheptatrienes with azomethine ylides proceeds as a [3+2] cycloaddition

Cyclopropenimines are shown to be a highly effective new class of enantioselective Brønsted base catalysts. A chiral 2,3-bis(dialkylamino)cyclopropenimine catalyzes the rapid Michael reaction of a glycine imine substrate with high levels of enantioselectivity. A preparative scale reaction to deliver 25
