A one-pot asymmetric aminoarylation reaction has been developed for the synthesis of trans-4-amino-5-aryltetrahydrobenzo[c]azepines with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity. The reaction proceeds through aziridination followed by intramolecular cyclicization. A chiral indenyl bis(oxazoline) ligand is found to be effective for the catalytic enantioselective version of this one-pot transformation.
A one-pot asymmetric aminoarylation reaction has been executed for the synthesis of trans-4-amino-5-aryltetrahydrobenzo[c]azepines with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity (dr > 99: 1; ee <= 97%). The reaction progresses through aziridination of prochiral N-tosyl-N-cinnamylbenzylamines, followed by an intramolecular 7-endotet Friedel-Crafts cyclization of the tethered aziridines generated in situ, where the combination of Cu(OTf)(2) as a catalyst and PhINNs as a nitrene source was found to be effective. A chiral indenyl bis(oxazoline) was shown to be an efficient ligand for the catalytic enantioselective version of this one-pot transformation. This 7-endo-tet cyclization is contrary to the Baldwin cyclization rules.
