Preparação e utilização de amino catalisadores - derivados do glicerol, D-manitol e L-aminoácidos - em reações de adição aldólica

Abstract

In this work we describe a preparation of eight amino-catalysts, obtained as a trifluoroacetate salt. Four of these catalysts were prepared, in the form of the mixture of two stereoisomers, from glycerol and the amino acids L-leucine, L-valine, L-phenylalanine and L-proline. The other four amino-catalysts were prepared in stereoisomerically pure form from D-mannitol and the amino acids L-leucine, L-valine, L-phenylalanine and L-proline. The eight aminocatalysts were able to catalyze the aldol addition reaction between cyclohexanone and 4nitrobenzaldehyde. The addition products were obtained in yields ranging from 58-95 %, the highest d.r. from 1:9.1 (sin: anti), determined by 1H NMR, and higher e.e. of 94 %, determined by high performance liquid chromatography. The best result, considering the yield, diastereomer and enantioselectivity of the formed products, was obtained when the enantiomerically pure L-proline derived catalyst was used.
