Primary Amine–2-Aminopyrimidine Chiral Organocatalysts for the Enantioselective Conjugate Addition of Branched Aldehydes to Maleimides
2015
Chiral primary amines containing the ( R , R )- and ( S , S )- trans -cyclohexane-1,2-diamine scaffold and a pyrimidin-2-yl unit are synthesized and used as general organocatalysts for the Michael reaction of α-branched aldehydes to maleimides. The reaction takes place with 10 mol% organocatalyst loading and hexanedioic acid as cocatalyst in aqueous N , N -dimethylformamide at 10 °C affording the corresponding succinimides in good yields and enantioselectivities. DFT calculations support the stereochemical results and the role played by the solvents.
