Abstract

The catalytic enantioselective electrophilic α-amination promoted by chiral palladium complexes is described. Treatment of α-cyanoketones with azodicarboxylates as electrophilic amination reagents under mild reaction conditions afforded the corresponding α-amino α-cyanoketones with excellent enantiomeric excesses (81-95% ee).

Key words

electrophilic amination - asymmetric catalysis - chiral palladium catalysts - α-cyanoketones

General Procedure for the Amination of α-Cyanoketone
To a stirred solution of α-cyanoketone 3 (0.2 mmol) and catalyst 1a (BF₄) (9.6 mg, 0.01 mmol) in acetone (2 mL) was added tert-butyl azodicarboxylate (4d, 46 mg, 0.2 mmol) at r.t. The reaction mixture was stirred for 10 min to 20 h at r.t. The mixture was diluted with sat. NH₄Cl solution (10 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (2 × 10 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO₄, filtered, concentrated, and purified by flash chromatography (EtOAc-hexane, 1:3) to afford the α-aminated α-cyano-ketone 5. 2-Aminated 2-Cyano-1-indanone 5a
