New Nitrogen, Sulfur-, and Selenium-Donating Ligands Derived from Chiral Pyridine Amino Alcohols. Synthesis and Catalytic Activity in Asymmetric Allylic Alkylation.

ABSTRACT: Although many chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis have been developed, there is still a need for new structures allowing the modular approach. Recently, easy synthesis of chiral pyridine-containing β-amino alcohols has been elaborated by opening respective epoxides with enantiomeric 1-phenylethylamine. This paper reports the synthetic transformation of β-amino alcohols into the new complexing pyridine-containing seleno- and thioethers. The amino alcohols were effectively converted to cyclic sulfonamidates, which were reacted with thiolates or phenyl selenide nucleophile. The reaction was diastereoselective, and its outcome depended on the configuration at the substitution center. The problem was discussed considering DFT optimized structures of both diastereomeric sulfonamidates. New a
