Abstract

N-Metallated azomethine ylides 5 were generated by the reaction of arylidene glycine imines 1 with AgOAc and triethylamine. These azomethine ylides undergo cycloaddition to chiral acrylamides 2 with excellent diastereoselectivity. The configuration of two of the cycloadducts (3a ₁ and 3c ₁) has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

Key words

cycloaddition - azomethine ylides - pyrrolidine - asymmetric

Silver Acetate Catalysed Cycloaddition Reactions - General procedure: A mixture of imine (1.2 equiv) AgOAc (1.5 equiv), appropriate dipolarophile (1 equiv) and Et₃N in dry toluene (5 mL for 1 mmol of imine) protected from the light with aluminium foil was stirred at r.t. for 12-48 h. The reaction was then quenched by addition of sat. aq NH₄Cl solution and Et₂O. The mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite^®. The organic layer was separated, washed with H₂O, brine and dried over MgSO₄, filtered and the solvent evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography and/or recrystallisation to afford the cycloadducts.
