Chiral N-phosphonyl imine chemistry: asymmetric 1,2-additions of allylmagnesium bromides

Chiral N-phosphonyl homoallylic amines were synthesized by the reaction of allylmagnesium bromide with chiral N-phosphonyl imines. The C 2-symmetric chiral N-phosphonyl group was optimized for this reaction. Excellent yields and good diastereoselectivities were obtained for eight examples.

Chiral N‐Phosphonyl Imine Chemistry: Asymmetric Aza‐Henry Reaction

A series of chiral N-phosphonyl imines have been synthesized and utilized successfully in asymmetric aza-Henry reaction. The chiral auxiliary was optimized for this reaction by varying different R groups on the nitrogen atoms. The reaction is convenient to perform to give excellent yields and good diastereoselectivities. The absolute stereochemistry was unambiguously determined by converting a resulting vicinal nitroamine into its N-Boc derivative which serves as a known compound.

Chiral N-phosphonyl imine chemistry: new reagents and their applications for asymmetric reactions

Novel chiral N-phosphonyl imines 2 have been designed and synthesized using chiral N-phosphoramide 1. These N-phosphonyl imines have been successfully utilized for asymmetric aza-Darzens reaction and asymmetric aza-Henry reaction. The C 2-symmetric chiral auxiliary tolerates oxidation, is not sensitive to racemization and can be recycled for large scale synthesis.
