Abstract

The chiral building block (R)-(+)-2,2′-diamino-1,1′-binaphthyl, (R)-BINAM, which is often used as backbone in privileged enantioselective catalysts, was converted to a series ofN-substituted proligandsR1-H2(R = CH2tBu, C(H)Ph2, PPh2, dibenzosuberane, 8-quinoline). After double deprotonation with strong Mg or Ca bases, a series of alkaline earth (Ae) metal catalystsR1-Ae·(THF)nwas obtained. Crystal structures of theseC2-symmetric catalysts have been analyzed by quadrant models which show that the ligands with C(H)Ph2, dibenzosuberane and 8-quinoline substituents should give the best steric discrimination for the enantioselective intramolecular alkene hydroamination (IAH) of the aminoalkenes H2C=CHCH2CR′2CH2NH2(CR′2= CPh2, CCy or CMe2). The dianionicR12−ligand inR1-Ae·(THF)nfunctions as reagent that deprotonates the aminoalkene substrate, while the monoanionic (R1-H)−ligand formed in this reaction functions as a chiral spectator ligand that controls the enantioselectivity of the ring closure reaction. Depending on the substituent R in the BINAM ligand, full cyclization of aminoalkenes to chiral pyrrolidine products as fast as 5 minutes was observed. Product analysis furnished enantioselectivities up to 57% ee, which marks the highest enantioselectivity reported for Ca catalyzed IAH. Higher selectivities are impeded by double protonation of theR12−ligand leading to complete loss of chiral information in the catalytically active species.
