Enantioselective Amine-Catalyzed [4 + 2] Annulations of Allene Ketones and 2,3-Dioxopyrrolidine Derivatives: Synthesis of 4H-Pyran Derivatives

J Org Chem. 2015 Jul 17;80(14):7288-94. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.5b00961. Epub 2015 Jul 2.

Abstract

An efficient cinchona alkaloid-derived amine catalyzed asymmetric [4 + 2] cycloaddition is successfully developed. 4H-Pyran fused pyrrolin-2-one products are readily obtained in moderate to high yields with good enantioselectivites by employing allene ketones and 2,3-dioxopyrrolidine derivatives as substrates.
