摘要:
Strecker reagents, their derivatives and methods for forming the same and improved Strecker reaction are provided. The electrophiles for asymmetric Strecker reaction include achiral N-phosphorazides, N-phosphoramides, N-phosphonyl imines and their derivatives. The nucleophiles for asymmetric Strecker reaction include chiral BINOL-derived azides, amides, imines and their derivatives, the chiral and achiral diol-based cyanides and their derivatives, the chiral and achiral diamine-based cyanides and their derivatives, the chiral and achiral amino alcohol-based cyanides and their derivatives, the Strecker nucleophiles that are derived from chiral and achiral hydroxyl carboxylic acids and amino acids. Methods of forming the electrophile for asymmetric Strecker reaction comprise the reactions with steps of: a) synthesizing phosphoryl chloride from achiral diamine; b) synthesizing phosphorous azide; c) synthesizing phosphoramide; d) synthesizing the corresponding achiral N-phosphonyl imines. The asymmetric catalytic Strecker reaction of new achiral N-phosphonyl imines has been developed to give excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee) and yields (up to >97%).
