Abstract
A series of chiral bifunctional organocatalysts were prepared and used for enantioselective synthesis of 3-substituted isoindolinones from 2-formylarylnitriles and malonates through aldol-cyclization rearrangement tandem reaction in excellent yields and enantioselectivites (up to 87% yield and 95% ee) without recrystallization. In this investigation, we found that chiral tertiary-amine catalysts with a urea group can afford 3-substituted isoindolinones both in higher yields (87% vs. 77%) and enantioselectivities (95% ee vs. 46% ee) than chiral bifunctional phase-transfer catalysts.
