Cinchona Alkaloid Derivatives as Chiral Organocatalysts
Publication History
Publication Date:
10 March 2005 (online)
Introduction
The last five years have witnessed a resurgence of interest in the cinchona alkaloids [1] [e.g. Quinine (1) and Quinidine (2)] due to their potential to serve as air- and moisture-insensitive asymmetric organocatalysts for a variety of enantioselective transformations. These materials are of particular synthetic utility as they are inexpensive, readily available natural products and are obtainable in either of their pseudo-enantiomeric forms. In addition to ready availability, cinchona alkaloids also possess both Lewis acidic (H-bonding) and Lewis basic (quinuclidine nitrogen) sites, thus making them potentially useful for the promotion of a variety of reactions via bifunctional catalysis.
