Abstract

A series of N,N′-dialkylated derivatives of (1R,2R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine were synthesized, and a new approach to the one-pot preparation of this type of amine was demonstrated. The prepared diamines were used as organocatalysts for the two-step synthesis of α-hydroxy γ-keto esters from arenes, chlorooxoacetates, and ketones; they were also used as chiral ligands for Meervein–Ponndorf–Verley reductions and Henry reactions.

  • 10 Diamines 3ak; One-Step General Procedure A glass vial in a 10-mL stainless-steel autoclave was charged with Rh2(OAc)4 (0.7 mg, 1.60 μmol, 1 mol%), (1R,2R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine dihydrochloride (30.0 mg, 0.160 mmol, 100 mol%), K2CO3 (26.6 mg, 0.192 mmol, 120 mol%), i-PrOH (0.1 mL), H2O (0.1 mL), and the appropriate aldehyde (0.320 mmol, 200 mol%). The autoclave was then sealed, flushed three times with CO (5 atm), and pressurized with CO (50 atm). The reactor was placed in a preheated oil bath (140 °C). After 4 h, the reactor was cooled to r.t. and depressurized. The residue was collected by filtration and analyzed by 1H NMR.
  • 11 Schiff Bases 2ak; General Procedure A mixture of (1R,2R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diaminium (S)-tartrate (1.0 equiv), K2CO3 (1.0 equiv), and H2O (0.66 mL per mmol of K2CO3) was stirred until the solids were completely dissolved and then MeOH (5.2 mL/mmol of tartrate) was added. The mixture was heated to 65 °C and a solution of the appropriate aldehyde (2 equiv) in MeOH (2.2 mL/mmol of tartrate) was added over 30 min. The mixture was refluxed for an additional 4 h, then cooled to r.t. and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in EtOAc (4 mL/mmol of tartrate) and the solution was washed with H2O (2 × 1 mL/mmol of tartrate), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated in vacuo to give a beige-colored crude product. The crude product containing some starting aldehyde was used in the next step without further purification. (1R,2R)-2,2′-[Cyclohexane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilomethylylidene)]diphenol (2i) Yellow oil; yield: 3.1 g (82%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 8.32 (s, 2 H), 7.34–7.26 (m, 2 H), 7.21 (dd, J = 7.6, 1.5 Hz, 2 H), 6.95 (d, J = 8.2 Hz, 2 H), 6.89–6.82 (m, 2 H), 3.43–3.32 (m, 2 H), 2.06–1.88 (m, 4 H), 1.87–1.68 (m, 2 H), 1.62–1.46 (m, 2 H).
  • 12 Diamines 3ak; General Procedure from Schiff Bases 2ak NaBH4 (2.1 equiv) was added portionwise over 40 min to a solution of the appropriate Schiff base 2 (1.0 equiv) in MeOH (4 mL/mmol of Schiff base) at r.t. The mixture was refluxed with stirring for 1 h then cooled to r.t. H2O (5 mL/mmol of Schiff base) was added, the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 4 mL/mmol of Schiff base), and the organic layer was concentrated. If any aldehyde remained in the mixture, the residue was dissolved in 35% aq HCl (1 mL/mmol of Schiff base) and the solution was washed with CH2Cl2 (3 × 4 mL/mmol of Schiff base). Excess K2CO3 (4.5 equiv) was added to the aqueous phase, which was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 3 mL/mmol of Schiff base). The organic layers were combined, dried, and concentrated to give an oily product. If the product was not sufficiently pure, it was purified by column chromatography.
