Abstract

The enantioselective conjugate addition reaction of 3-substituted oxindoles with 1,1-bis(benzenesulfonyl)ethylene by binaphthyl-modified bifunctional organocatalysts was investigated. The corresponding Michael adducts, containing a quaternary center at C3 position of the oxindoles, were generally obtained in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee).

Key words

oxindole - vinyl sulfone - conjugate addition - bifunctional organocatalysis - asymmetric catalysis

Typical Procedure for the Conjugate Addition Reaction of 3-Phenyl Oxindole 1f with Vinyl Sulfone 2
To a solution of 3-phenyl oxindole 1f (0.3 mmol, 92 mg) and catalyst VIII (0.03 mmol, 21.4 mg) in CH₂Cl₂ (1.2 mL) was added 1,1-bis(benzenesulfonyl)ethylene (2, 0.45 mmol, 138.7 mg). Reaction mixture was stirred for 6 h at r.t., concentrated, and purified by flash column chromatography (EtOAc-hexane = 1:5) to afford the Michael adduct (3f, 168 mg, 90%).
