Abstract:
The present invention relates to preparation of highly efficient chiral recyclable homogeneous catalysts generated in situ by the reaction of chiral oligomeric [H 4 ] ligands and a metal salt taken in 1:1 molar ratio for asymmetric nitroaldol reaction,wherein nitroaldol reactions of various aldehydes such as aromatic, aliphatic α, β-unsaturated aldehydes, alicyclic aldehydes and nitroalkenes were carried out to produce optically active β-nitroalcohols in high yield and with moderate to excellent enantioselectivity (ee up to >95 %) in presence of a base and an optically active chiral recyclable homogeneous catalyst represented by the following formula (I).

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method that allows production of stereospecific and asymmetrical five-membered ring-containing compounds serving as synthetic intermediates for formation of five-membered rings of prostaglandins and the like, with high yield and excellent stereoselectivity in terms of diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity in a short process without requiring troublesome procedures such as optical resolution. The method for producing a five-membered ring-containing compound includes a cyclization step of condensing and cyclizing an α, β-unsaturated nitro compound represented by the following chemical formula (I) with a 1,4-butanedione compound, in the presence of a catalyst formed by a compound having a pyrrolidine ring and an optically active α-carbon relative to the nitrogen on the ring, in a water-insoluble organic solvent and/or a non-oxygen atom-containing water-soluble organic solvent so as to produce the five-membered ring-containing compound represented by the following chemical formula (II).
