Chiral spirocyclic phosphoric acid-catalyzed enantioselective synthesis of heterotriarylmethanes bearing an amino acid moiety

Jin Jiaping, Alemayehu Gashaw Woldegiorgis, Xufeng Lin

Summary: Here, we report an enantioselective protocol for the chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed addition of 3-arylisoxazol-5-amines to highly reactive 3-methide-3H-pyrroles. This protocol provides a diverse range of heterotriarylmethanes bearing an amino acid moiety in good yields (up to 97%) and high enantioselectivities (up to 93% ee) under mild conditions. The utilization of a chiral spirocyclic phosphoric acid is crucial in converting the initial 1H-pyrrol-3-yl carbinols into reactive 3-methide-3H-pyrroles and achieving the desired enantioselective transformation.

Visible-light-driven enantioselective intermolecular [2+2] photocyclization utilizing bathochromic excitation mediated by a chiral phosphoric acid

Tatsuhiro Uchikura, Kazuki Takahashi, Tatsushi Oishi, Takahiko Akiyama

Summary: In this study, an enantioselective intermolecular [2 + 2] photocyclization of alkenyl 2-pyrrolyl ketones using a chiral phosphoric acid was reported. The method allows for the synthesis of cyclobutanes with high enantioselectivity (up to 98% ee). UV-Vis spectra showed a bathochromic shift effect upon mixing the alkenyl 2-pyrrolyl ketones and the chiral phosphoric acid. Non-linear correlation between the ee of the catalyst and the ee of the cycloadduct suggests the formation of a dimer complex between both substrates and the chiral phosphoric acid before photocycloaddition.
