Abstract
AbstractThe organocatalytic asymmetric, one‐pot, sequential Michael addition/dearomative bromination reaction of pyrazol‐5‐ones to nitro olefins and N‐bromosuccinimide (NBS) has been developed. Under the catalysis of a chiral bifunctional squaramide, a wide variety of chiral brominated pyrazol‐5‐one derivatives with contiguous quaternary and tertiary stereocenters was obtained in high yields (up to >99 %) with good to excellent diastereoselectivities (62:38–99:1 dr) and uniformly high levels of enantioselectivity (92 to >99 % ee). This experimentally simple process facilitates access to various enantioenriched, multiply substituted pyrazolin‐5‐one derivatives, potential biologically active molecules, starting from readily available starting materials.
