The chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed enantioselective condensation of 2,2-disubstituted cyclobutane-1,3-diones with a primary amine provides a mild and efficient method for constructing quaternary carbon-containing cyclobutanes with good to high yields and enantioselectivities. This reaction is the first of its kind, representing a catalytic desymmetrizing carbonyl-amine condensation reaction as well as a catalytic desymmetrizing reaction of prochiral cyclobutane-1,3-dione.
A chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed enantioselective condensation of 2,2-disubstituted cyclobutane-1,3-diones with a primary amine is described. This reaction offered a mild and efficient protocol for constructing quaternary carbon-containing cyclobutanes in good to high yields and enantioselectivities. This reaction is the first catalytic desymmetrizing carbonyl-amine condensation reaction and also represents the first catalytic desymmetrizing reaction of prochiral cyclobutane-1,3-dione.
