Abstract
The enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of stabilized azomethine ylides, generated from iminoesters, with maleimides was efficiently achieved by intermediacy of an equimolar mixture of chiral ( R)- or ( S)-Binap and AgClO 4. The high stability of the titled catalytic metal-complex to light exposure and its insolubility in toluene made possible its recovery and reutilization in other new process. In order to get a better understanding of the behavior of these chiral catalysts, we have carried out DFT1 calculations demonstrating the experimentally observed high enantio- and endo-selectivity through a very asynchronous transition state.
