Design and synthesis of cinchona-based chiral hyperbranched polymers and their application in asymmetric reactions

2020 
Abstract Cinchona-based chiral hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) were designed and successfully synthesized via the Mizoroki-Heck (MH) coupling reaction. AB2 and A2B-type chiral monomers were prepared from cinchona squaramide derivatives, where A (vinyl) reacted only with B (iodophenyl) under MH reaction conditions. The chiral HBPs obtained by the MH polymerization contained cinchona squaramide moieties and demonstrated excellent diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity in asymmetric Michael addition reactions of methyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate and trans-β-nitrostyrene. These newly designed HBPs were structurally robust and could be reused for further reaction without losing their catalytic activity.
