Asymmetric Synthesis of Allenyl alpha-Amino Amides by an Isothiourea Catalyzed Enantioselective [2,3]-Sigmatropic Rearrangement

摘要

Highly efficient catalytic asymmetric [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements of propargyl ammonium salts have been accomplished under mild reaction conditions. In the presence of the chiral isothiourea catalyst, a wide range of allenyl a-amino amide derivatives were obtained in generally good yields (up to 99%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee).
