Enantioselective Construction of Chiral Cyclopropa[c]coumarins via Lewis Base-Catalyzed Cyclopropanation.
2020
The first highly enantioselective construction of chiral cyclopropa[c]coumarins was described. Using commercially available (bis)cinchona alkaloid (DHQ)2PYR as the chiral Lewis base catalyst, together with Cs2CO3 as the achiral base, the reaction of a series of coumarin-3-carboxylate and 3-benzoyl coumarins with tert-butyl 2-bromoacetate could give rise to the corresponding cyclopropa[c]coumarins bearing three continuous chiral stereocenters in 83-93% ee and 90-97% ee, respectively. The reaction is proposed to proceed via an in situ generated ammonium ylide intermediate.
