Abstract

An α-CF₃ amide underwent direct asymmetric Mannich-type reaction to isatin imines in the presence of a chiral catalyst comprising a soft Lewis acid Cu(I), a chiral bisphosphine ligand, and Barton’s base. The Mannich adduct was converted in one step into a unique tricycle bearing a trifluoromethylated chiral center and an α-tertiary amine moiety.

Key words

asymmetric catalysis - copper catalysis - fluorine - Mannich reaction - heterocycle

In Cu(I)-catalyzed aldol reactions, the reactivity of the α-CF₃ enolate is somewhat lower than those with other substituents: While α-alkyl, vinyl, and N₃ 7-azaindoline amides smoothly undergo aldol additions to simple aldehydes, α-CF₃ amide 2 only reacts with activated arylglyoxal hydrates.

17 With 1 mol% catalyst, 3a was obtained in 55% yield with the high selectivities retained (dr >95:5, 98% ee).
18 Compound 3a A flame-dried 30 mL flask equipped with a magnetic stirring bar and 3-way glass stopcock were charged with imine 1a (781 mg, 3.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv), and α-CF₃ amide 2 (760 mg, 3.3 mmol, 1.1 equiv), followed by the addition of anhydrous THF (9.6 mL, 0.2 M) via syringe with a stainless steel needle under an Ar atmosphere. After being stirred at 25 °C for 5 min, a solution of the catalyst in THF (4.5 mL) containing a chiral copper(I) complex (0.090 mmol, 3.0 mol%), which was prepared from [Cu(CH₃CN)₄]PF₆ (33.5 mg, 0.090 mmol) and (R,R)-Ph-BPE L8 (54.7 mg, 0.11 mmol, 3.6 mol%), and a solution of Barton’s base (0.1 M in THF, 0.90 mL, 0.09 mmol, 3.0 mol%) were sequentially added via a syringe with a stainless steel needle. After stirring at 25 °C for 12 h, the reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of silica gel and washed with EtOAc, then concentrated in vacuo to afford the crude residue. ¹H NMR analysis of the crude residue showed that the dr was >95:5. The combined crude residue was then purified by silica gel column chromatography (5% to 80% EtOAc in hexane) to afford product 3a (1.46 g, 99% yield).

HRMS (ESI): m/z calcd for C₂₄H₂₅O₄N₄F₃Na [M + Na]⁺: 513.1720; found: 513.1724. [α]_D ²⁴ –48.0 (c = 1.00, CHCl₃). Enantiomeric excess of the product was determined to be 98% by chiral stationary phase HPLC analysis (CHIRALPAK AD-H (φ 0.46 cm × 25 cm), 2-propanol/n-hexane = 1:4, flow rate 1.0 mL/min, detection at 254 nm, t _R = 5.9 min (major), 13.2 min (minor)).
