Abstract
A one-pot, enantioselective synthesis of N-aryl propargylic amines, using alkynylation reagents obtained from dimethylzinc and terminal acetylenes in combination with various aldehydes and o-methoxyaniline as starting materials, has been developed. Enantiopure beta-amino alcohols derived from norephedrine were used as non-covalent chiral auxiliaries, both in stoichiometric or substoichiometric amount. After optimization, propargylic amines were obtained in good to high yields (up to 93%) and with moderate to high enantiomeric excesses (up to 97% ee). The possibility to recover the chiral auxiliary after the reaction was demonstrated.
