Abstract
Bis(oxazoline) is a kind of important ligand in asymmetric catalysis. This thesis focused on the design and synthesis of new ligands, composed spiro bis(oxazoline) (SpiroBOX), and their applications in copper-catalyzed asymmetric reactions. SpiroBOX ligands were synthesized convenieatly from enantiomericallypure 1,1'-spirobiindane-7,7'-diol (Spinol) in high yields.
The activity andenantiomerically of SpiroBOX ligands was firstly evaluated in asymmetric cyclopropanation reaction. SpiroBOX-copper complexes were found to be efficient for asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrenes with diazoacetate, especially for the cyclopropanation of the a-disubstituted styrenes. The reaction offers an effective method for preparation of cyclopropanes containing an all-carbon quarternary carbon center.
By using copper complexes, we have developed the first highly enantioselective catalytic insertion of a-diazoesters into N-H bonds. The reaction provided a new approad for the sythesis of a-arylamino acid derivatives in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee).
SpiroBOXligands were also proven to be efficient for the Cu-catalyzed asymmetric allylic oxidation of cyclic alkenes with tert-butyl perbenzoates, producting cycloalkenyl benzoates in moderate enantioselectivities.
