A novel amine catalyst - phenylcyclopropane-based amine catalyst - has been designed, which possesses a similar chiral environment to that of binaphthyl-based amine catalysts and exhibits unique chemo- and stereoselectivity in several asymmetric reactions.
Most chiral secondary amine catalysts are usually synthesized from chiral amino acids and their derivatives. On the other hand, amine catalysts based on a binaphthyl backbone have previously been developed, and show unique chemo- and stereoselectivity in several asymmetric reactions. However, in spite of their utility, the applications of binaphthyl-based amines in asymmetric reactions are still rare due to their synthetic inefficiency. In this context, we have designed amine catalysts possessing a phenylcyclopropane scaffold as a novel chiral motif. These novel catalysts can be synthesized easily and construct a similar chiral environment to that of binaphthyl-based amine catalysts. In addition, a phenylcyclopropane-based amino sulfonamide is found to be an effective catalyst for syn-selective Mannich reactions and conjugate additions using alkynyl Z-ketimines.
